Xiaomi’s new Redmi Pad 2 is here, and it brings a set of meaningful upgrades over the original Redmi Pad that launched back in 2022. Aimed at budget-conscious users who want a reliable tablet experience, here are the major improvements in the second-gen model.
Redmi Pad 2: Smoother, Brighter, and Taller Display
The Chinese tech giant’s original Redmi Pad debuted with a 10.61-inch LCD screen with a 2K resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. It also offered up to 400 nits of peak brightness. These specs were decent for a budget tablet in 2022, but the latest Redmi Pad 2 improves in almost every aspect.
It sports a taller 11-inch LCD panel with a higher 2.5K resolution and a higher peak brightness of up to 600 nits. Unfortunately, the Redmi Pad 2 retains the same 90Hz refresh rate.
Faster Performance
Xiaomi equips the Redmi Pad 2 with a more powerful and newer MediaTek Helio G100 Ultra chipset. This allows it to outperform the older Helio G99, which powers the first gen Redmi Pad. So you can expect better multitasking, smoother daily performance, and improvements in casual mobile gaming.
The Redmi Pad pairs this chipset with up to 4GB of RAM and up to 128GB of internal storage (3GB + 64GB base in India). Meanwhile, even the base model of the Redmi Pad 2 offers a 6GB + 128GB storage configuration, with the top end variant offering 8GB + 256GB in the Philippines. But it is worth noting that the European version featured 4GB of RAM.
Bigger Battery & HyperOS
Owing to their larger size compared to typical smartphones, tablets can house larger battery packs that can offer long battery life. The original Redmi Pad is powered by a respectable 8,000mAh battery, which supports 18W wired fast charging.
While the fast charging rate remains the same at 18W, the battery pack sees a noticeable upgrade to a 9,000mAh cell. Back in 2022, Xiaomi’s devices still ran on the MIUI custom skin. However, the Redmi Pad 2 features the newer Android 15 OS based HyperOS 2.0 platform. This makes it more up to date with newer features, UI, and much more. The Indian release of the Redmi Pad 2 is right around the corner as well, so stick around for more.
