For optics, the Redmi Pad SE has an 8-megapixel rear facing camera and a 5-megapixel selfie shooter on the front. Realme Pad 2 Lite features a similar 8-megapixel sensor on the rear and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera. Both models house a quad stereo speaker setup.

Pricing and Verdict

Looking at the pricing, there is a noticeable difference between the budget tablets. The Redmi Pad SE starts from 12,999 INR, while the Realme Pad 2 Lite costs 14,999 INR. If you’re on a tight budget, the Redmi Pad SE is definitely a good pick. But the newer OS, slightly better performance, and higher resolution display makes the Realme Pad SE a better option overall.
