Xiaomi Redmi Pad Pro Review
Design
The Redmi Pad Pro showcases a sleek, minimalist design that aligns well with Xiaomi’s recent design language. Constructed from aluminum, the tablet has a solid and premium feel. The slim bezels around the display allow for an immersive experience, while the lightweight nature (around 490g) and 6.5mm thickness make it portable and easy to handle, even during extended use. Available in classic color options like Graphite Gray and Moonlight Silver, it appeals to users looking for both style and functionality.
Display
The Redmi Pad Pro features an 11-inch 2.5K (2560 x 1600) display with a 120Hz refresh rate. This high refresh rate, paired with a high resolution, makes scrolling and content consumption remarkably smooth. The IPS LCD panel supports HDR10, which enhances contrast and color vibrancy, though it may not be as vivid as AMOLED displays. With a brightness level of up to 400 nits, the display performs well indoors but can struggle slightly under direct sunlight. This large and sharp display makes it ideal for video streaming, gaming, and reading.
Performance
Under the hood, the Redmi Pad Pro is powered by the Snapdragon 870 chipset, a capable mid-to-high-end processor that ensures smooth performance in multitasking and gaming. Combined with options for 6GB or 8GB of RAM, it manages most tasks with ease, from heavy browsing to demanding games. While the Adreno 650 GPU handles most modern games at medium to high settings, some graphically intensive titles may require settings adjustments for the best performance.
The tablet is equipped with UFS 3.1 storage (up to 256GB), which offers faster read and write speeds, ensuring quick app launches and seamless data handling. Unfortunately, there’s no support for expandable storage, so choosing a configuration with sufficient storage for your needs is essential.
Camera
While tablets are not known for their cameras, the Redmi Pad Pro has an 8MP rear camera and an 8MP front camera. The rear camera is sufficient for document scanning and occasional snapshots in well-lit environments but may struggle in low-light conditions. The front camera, however, is suitable for video calls and online meetings, as it captures decent quality in well-lit settings. Xiaomi Redmi Pad Pro has also optimized the front camera to keep users centered during video calls, a feature that adds to its utility for work or virtual learning.
Battery Life
One of the standout features of the Redmi Pad Pro is its 8600mAh battery, which can last a full day with moderate usage. The tablet supports 67W fast charging, which can charge the device up to 50% in under 30 minutes, and a full charge in about an hour and a half. This is ideal for users who need to top up quickly between uses. With balanced usage, including web browsing, video streaming, and light gaming, the battery can easily last 10-12 hours.
Software
The Redmi Pad Pro runs on MIUI for Pad, which is based on Android. Xiaomi Redmi Pad Pro has optimized MIUI for larger screens, offering split-screen multitasking, floating windows, and a dock that makes it more user-friendly in productivity settings. The interface is intuitive and well-suited for multitasking, with dedicated gestures and customizations tailored for tablets. However, it comes with pre-installed apps that some users may find unnecessary, though most can be uninstalled.
While MIUI for Pad is smooth and feature-rich, it lacks the polish and tablet-focused optimizations of iPadOS or Samsung’s One UI. Still, it’s a strong offering in the Android tablet market, delivering a functional and customizable experience.
Audio
The Redmi Pad Pro features quad speakers tuned for optimal sound performance. They provide loud and clear audio output, making it a great device for watching movies or listening to music without needing external speakers. With Dolby Atmos support, it delivers a surround sound experience that’s immersive for a tablet in this price range. The tablet lacks a headphone jack, so you’ll need wireless headphones or a USB-C adapter for wired options.
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- High-resolution 2.5K display with 120Hz refresh rate
- Powerful Snapdragon 870 processor
- Quad-speaker setup with Dolby Atmos
- Fast 67W charging
- Long-lasting battery life
- Lightweight and premium build
Cons:
- No expandable storage
- MIUI for Pad lacks some tablet-specific optimizations
- Average camera performance in low light
- No headphone jack
Verdict
The Xiaomi Redmi Pad Pro is a compelling choice for users who want a mid-range Android tablet with solid performance, a beautiful high-refresh-rate display, and excellent battery life. While it’s not intended to replace a full-fledged laptop, it offers enough multitasking features and processing power to serve as a capable productivity device for students, casual gamers, and multimedia enthusiasts.
