POCO has expanded its tablet lineup with the launch of the POCO Pad X1 and the more affordable POCO Pad M1. The POCO F8 Ultra and POCO F8 Pro were announced globally earlier today, and alongside these flagship phones, the two new tablets bring tall displays with high resolution, Snapdragon 7 Series chipsets, and massive battery packs. So here is everything you need to know, like its price, specs, and other details.

POCO Pad X1

The Chinese brand just unveiled the POCO Pad X1 with a tall 11.2-inch display with a 3.2K resolution (3200 x 2136 pixels), a 144Hz refresh rate, adaptive HDR and 800 nits of peak brightness. The screen is surrounded by noticeable but relatively slim bezels on all four sides. POCO built the tablet with an aluminum chassis that measures just 6.18mm in thickness and weighs 500 grams.

Under the hood, the POCO Pad X1 is equipped with the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 SoC, which is paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. A massive 8,850mAh battery pack powers this tablet. For audio, you get a quad speakers setup with Dolby Atmos support. The rear packs a 13MP shooter, while the front houses an 8MP camera for selfies and video calls. Other notable features include stylus support, Bluetooth 5.4, WiFi 6E, and NFC.

While this wasn’t built to be a flagship grade tablet, the POCO Pad X1 brings specs capable enough for enjoying gaming, regular use, and handling multitasking without any lag. It also provides a premium built quality for a better experience. There is also the Floating Keyboard and Xiaomi’s Focus Pen accessories that are sold separately.

POCO Pad M1

Alongside the POCO Pad X1, the company announced the new POCO Pad M1, which is a more affordable tablet. It sports a tall 12.1-inch IPS LCD panel with a 2.5K resolution (2560 x 1600 pixels), a 120Hz refresh rate, and 500 nits of peak brightness. Just like the Pad X1, you get the POCO Pad M1 with a metal unibody design. This model is equipped with the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4, which is a mid range chipset as well. In terms of synthetic benchmarks, this model is quite similar in performance to the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3.

This is paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage that can be expanded by up to 2TB via a microSDXC card slot. While the resolution might be slightly lower than the Pad X1, it has an advantage in battery life thanks to the gigantic 12,000mAh cell, which supports 33W wired fast charging and even 27W reverse wired charging as well. Both the front and back have an 8MP camera for photography. Other notable features include quad speakers with Hi-Res audio and Dolby Atmos along with a 3.5mm audio jack.

Pricing and Availability

The Chinese brand has announced the HyperOS 3 powered POCO Pad M1 and POCO Pad X1 in gray and blue color options. For 399 US Dollars, you get the POCO Pad X1. Customers can also purchase the Floating Keyboard cover for 199 US Dollars and the Focus Pen for 99 US Dollars. On the other hand, the POCO Pad M1 carries a 329 US Dollar price tag with a more affordable basic keyboard accessory for 99 US Dollars and a cheaper Focus Pen for 69 US Dollars.

The post POCO Pad X1 with 3.2K 144Hz display & Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 debuts with the budget POCO Pad M1 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Poco is getting ready for a big launch on November 26, where it will announce the new F8 series alongside two tablets. One of them, the Poco Pad M1, has now surfaced on the Google Play Console database. 

The entry shows the tablet under the model number 2509ARPBDG, and an internal codename flute. Interestingly, Xiaomi uses the same model name for the Redmi Pad 2 Pro, hinting that the Poco Pad M1 could be a Pad 2 Pro rebrand.

Poco Pad M1 runs on Snapdragon 7s Gen 4

The database confirms the tablet will run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7s Gen 4. The chip has a prime core clocked at 2.80 GHz, paired with an Adreno 732 GPU running at 900 MHz. 

The listed configuration includes 8GB of RAM, and Android 15 appears as the operating system. The listing also notes a display resolution of 1600 x 2560, with a 320 xhdpi density, hinting at a fairly sharp panel.

Poco has already started teasing the device on its website. The promotional material touts the Pad M1 as a large entertainment tablet, featuring a 12.1-inch display with 2.5K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate support. The tablet uses a 12000mAh battery. 

A previous leak confirms the Pad M1 will come in Graphite Gray and Blue and will support 33W wired charging. Its price in Europe is rumored to be around EUR 349. 

The Poco X1, on the other hand, is a slightly more premium model with a Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 SoC and a 3.2K 144Hz display. 

The Google Play Console listing doesn’t spell out everything, but it leaves little doubt about what to expect when the tablet finally steps on stage next week.

A fresh leak has outlined what Poco may be planning for its upcoming Poco Pad M1, which is expected to be a rebranded version of the Redmi Pad 2 Pro. Poco is reportedly gearing up to launch the Poco F8 Pro and F8 Ultra in the coming weeks. Likely, the Pad M1 may debut alongside the F8 duo.

Poco Pad M1 specifications (rumored)

According to the leak, the Poco Pad M1 may feature a 12.1-inch LCD panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 1600 x 2560 resolution. It is tipped to run on the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset paired with LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 2.2 storage, with support for microSD expansion.

The tablet could include an 8-megapixel rear camera and an 8-megapixel front camera for video calls. It may ship with HyperOS 2, based on Android 15 and come with quad speakers for a better multimedia experience. The tablet reportedly measures around 278 x 181.65 x 7.5mm, weighs close to 610g, and may feature a 3.5mm headphone jack.

A 12,000mAh battery with 33W wired charging support is also expected, along with connectivity options such as Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4 and USB 2.0. An IP54 rating is also mentioned for limited dust and splash resistance.

Poco Pad M1 price, colour options (rumored)

The leak suggests a price of EUR 349 (~$400) for the 8GB RAM and 256GB storage variant. The tablet may launch in two colour finishes: dark blue and grey. Since its specifications closely match the Redmi Pad 2 Pro, the Poco Pad M1 is believed to be prepared for selected global markets as a rebranded version of that model.

The post Poco Pad M1 specifications, color options, and price leaked ahead of launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

Just days after the Poco Pad X1 surfaced online, another tablet from the company has popped up on Geekbench. The latest in the benchmark run is the Poco Pad M1 with a Snapdragon chip.

However, both of these tablets appear to be rebranded versions of Xiaomi devices that already exist.

According to early leaks, the Poco Pad X1 is believed to be a rebadged Xiaomi Pad 7, while the newly discovered Poco Pad M1 seems to share its DNA with the Redmi Pad 2 Pro, which launched in China back in September.

Poco Pad M1 is powered by Snapdragon 7s Gen 4

The Geekbench entry reveals that the Poco Pad M1 runs on Android 15, even though Android 16 is now out for a few months now. This likely means the tablet will ship with Android 15 out of the box and later receive an update to the newer version.

Under the hood, the device is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset. The device was spotted in a Geekbench AI run, which reveals a single precision score of 1103, a half precision score of 1090, and a 1707 quantized score. 

If it mirrors the Redmi Pad 2 Pro, we can expect a 12.1-inch display with a crisp 2560×1600 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate for smooth scrolling and video playback.

Other likely specs include 8MP front and rear cameras, up to 256GB of internal storage, and a massive 12,000mAh battery supporting 33W fast charging and 27W reverse wired charging.

There’s still no official launch date, but the Poco F8 Pro and Poco F8 Ultra are rumored to debut soon. And it wouldn’t be surprising if the Poco Pad M1 joins them on stage.
