Smartphone brand realme has finally entered the tablet category with the launch of realme Pad in India. The company’s first tablet is a budget offering and it is priced lower than what the leak suggested yesterday.  It also happens to be the most powerful tablet in its price segment.

realme Pad Specifications and Features

The realme Pad features a metal body design that comes in two colors, namely Real Gold and Real Grey. It measures 246.1 x 155.9 x 6.9mm in dimensions and weighs 440g.

The tablet sports a 10.4-inch LCD panel with a resolution of 2000×1200 pixels (WUXGA+), 16.7 million colors, 82.5% screen-to-body ratio, and 360 nits brightness. The screen supports Reading Mode, Dark Mode, Night Mode, and Sunlight Mode.

The device is powered by a MediaTek Helio G80 SoC coupled with up to 4GB RAM and 64GB storage. If needed, the storage can be further expanded up to 1TB via a MicroSD card slot.

For connectivity, the product comes with dual-band WiFi 5, Bluetooth 5.0, GNSS (GPS, A-GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou), and a USB Type-C port. There are also LTE variants for interested customers.

Talking about software, the tablet runs realme UI for Pad based on Android 11. It comes with multi-user support as well as Google Kids Space. The software also lets users use two apps side by side.

Other features of the device include Hi-Res Audio-certified quad speakers with support for Dolby Atmos, dual microphones, two 8MP cameras for front and back, ambient light sensor, accelerometer, gyroscope, and compass.

Last but not least, the product is backed by a 7,100mAh battery with support for 18W fast charging and reverse charging. The only thing it is lacking for a budget tablet is a 3.5mm headphone jack.

The realme Pad will retail for the following price tags in India.

• 3GB + 32GB (WiFi-only) – ₹13,999 ($190)
• 3GB + 32GB (WiFi + LTE) – ₹15,999 ($218)
