Infinix finally ventured into the tablet market with its new Infinix Xpad. Recently, there have been several tablet launches and the Xpad is a budget model. But in this category, there is another worthy contender, which is the Redmi Pad SE 4G. So here’s a head-to-head comparison of these two tablets.

Infinix Xpad vs Redmi Pad SE 4G: Design & Display

Xiaomi unveiled the Redmi Pad SE 4G with a compact body that measures just 8.8 mm in thickness and weighs 370 grams. On the other hand, the Infinix Xpad was announced with a flat frame with a metal unibody. This adds to its premium feel. Both models have a flat panel that is surrounded by sizeable bezels, although these are uniform in size on the Xpad.

The Infinix Xpad was announced with a tall 11-inch LCD display that offers an FHD+ resolution, 440 nits of peak brightness, and a 90Hz refresh rate. This makes it have a significantly taller screen and higher resolution since the Redmi Pad SE 4G features an 8.7-inch LCD panel with HD+ resolution, a 90Hz refresh rate, Corning Gorilla Glass 3, and 600 nits of peak brightness. So it would seem that Infinix’s offering has a clear edge over the Redmi tablet.

Hardware

Under the hood, the first ever tablet from Infinix is equipped with the MediaTek Helio G99 Ultimate processor. The chipset is rumored to be coupled with up to 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage. A large 7,000mAh battery pack powers this device, which supports 18W wired fast charging. On the software side, the tablet runs on the Android 14 OS based XOS custom skin out of the box. The company also offers the XArena Game Space, which brings three different power modes for improved gaming performance. Other notable features include ChatGPT powered ChatGPT voice assistant, USB-C port, 3.5mm headphone jack, quad speakers, and LTE connectivity.

In contrast to this, the Redmi Pad SE 4G was released with the Helio G85 processor that is paired with 4GB of RAM and up to 128GB of internal storage. Users can even expand storage by p to 2TB via a microSD card slot. A sizeable 6,650mAh battery pack runs this device, which only supports standard 10W charging. This model runs on the Android 14 OS based HyperOS custom skin. Redmi also offers Bluetooth 5.3, USB-C, dual SIM slots, stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, and TUV Rheinland certification for low blue light.

For photography, the Redmi Pad SE 4G features an 8-megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel selfie shooter on the front. On the other hand, the Infinix Xpad houses an 8-megapixel primary camera at the back and an 8-megapixel shooter for selfies and video calls.

Pricing & Verdict

Xiaomi introduced the Redmi Pad SE 4G with a starting price tag of just 10,999 INR for the 4BG + 64GB option, while the higher end 4GB + 128GB version costs 11,999 INR. So it is clear that the Chinese tech giant released this tablet for budget centric users.

Infinix Xpad is clearly superior in most areas when comparing specs. Although, the brand has yet to officially confirm its pricing or storage configurations. In other words, we can speculate that it could also have a budget priced similarly but it will likely be more expensive than the Redmi Pad SE 4G.

Xiaomi just unveiled a bunch of new tablet models in the Indian market. The Redmi Pad Pro series was announced as a mid-range tablet for users who need capable specs without breaking the bank. Alongside these two models, the company also announced the Redmi Pad SE 4G. This is a more affordable device, but who does this tablet target? Redmi seems to be targeting a rather untapped segment in the market.

Redmi Pad SE 4G: What makes it special?

The Chinese brand unveiled the Redmi Pad SE 4G earlier today (29th July 2024). While tablets have gotten taller with larger screen real estate, the Pad SE 4G sports a modest 8.7-inch display with an HD+ resolution, 90Hz refresh rate, 180Hz touch sampling rate, and up to 600 nits of peak brightness. It is equipped with the MediaTek Helio G85 SoC, which is paired with 4GB of RAM and up to 128GB of internal storage.

A large 6,650mAh battery pack powers this tablet with support for standard 10W charging. For optics, you get an 8-megapixel camera on the back and a 5-megapixel selfie shooter on the front. Other notable features include a 3.5mm headphone jack, stereo speakers, Dolby Atmos support, and an IP53 rating for water and dust resistance. All of this is offered for a starting price tag of 10,999 INR. This makes it a decent budget offering.

So who is it for?

At this price range, this is an affordable tablet that targets everyone on a strict budget but requires a new tablet. You get a 4G enabled dual SIM that lets you make calls and access mobile data. This means that it isn’t just a cheap tablet as it also doubles as an entry-level computing device. So the Redmi Pad SE 4G is a viable option for students and kids as well. The pricing is undoubtedly what makes it attractive to this demographic, but its overall hardware package is also what makes it worth buying.

The Competition

Xiaomi’s Redmi Pad SE 4G is special since it barely has any rival at this price point. The closest competition is a two year old tablet from Lenovo dubbed the Tab M10 Plus. It has a taller 10.61-inch 2K display but it is slightly more expensive (around 14,499 INR).

The chipset that powers this tablet is also a slightly slower Helio G80. There are Pros and Cons on between these two tablets. Lenovo brings a larger battery, but for 10,999 INR, the Redmi Pad SE 4G has calling and mobile data support on the base model. Being a recent release, you also get longer software support.
