The Redmi Pad 2 sports an 11-inch 2.5K (2,560x1,600 pixels) LCD panel, offering a 90Hz refresh rate and peak brightness of up to 600 nits.

A key highlight is native support for Circle to Search, allowing users to search anything on-screen with a simple gesture—making Redmi Pad 2 the first tablet in India to offer this feature out-of-the-box.
The tablet houses an 8MP rear camera and a 5MP front-facing lens, suitable for video calls and casual photography. Audio performance is enhanced by a quad-speaker setup tuned with Dolby Atmos, ensuring immersive sound quality.
Redmi Pad 2 is backed by a substantial 9,000mAh battery with 18W wired charging support, promising extended usage on a single charge. Connectivity options include 4G LTE (on selected models), dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a USB Type-C port. Additional sensors onboard include an accelerometer, a hall sensor, and a virtual ambient light sensor.
The tablet also supports smart pens, broadening its utility for students and professionals alike.
The Redmi Pad 2 is priced starting at ₹ 13,999 for the 4GB RAM + 128GB storage Wi-Fi-only model. The Wi-Fi + 4G variants are priced at ₹ 15,999 (6GB + 128GB) and ₹ 17,999 (8GB + 256GB). Sales will begin from 24 June via Xiaomi's official website, Amazon India, and select offline retailers.

2026 Nissan Leaf unveiled, now gets upto 600 km of range
Nissan has unveiled the 2026 Leaf in the global market. For this generation, the manufacturer has made some drastic changes in terms of styling, charging and driving range. The Leaf has been spotted on our roads several times, but there are no plans to bring it to the Indian market. Since its global debut in 2010, the Nissan LEAF has become a popular choice in the electric vehicle segment, with nearly 7,00,000 units sold. Bold Design Meets Advanced Aerodynamics Crafted at Nissan's Global Design Studio in Japan, the all-new Leaf showcases a sleek silhouette and a drag coefficient of just 0.25, making it one of the most aerodynamically efficient vehicles in its class. Features like flush door handles, a streamlined roofline, and sculpted surfaces enhance the visual appeal. Despite its compact dimensions, ideal for city navigation, the car boasts an impressive 437-litre boot and a spacious cabin tailored for family life. The interior is reflected with premium materials, ambient lighting, and ergonomic design. A dimming panoramic glass roof, distinct 3D rear lamps, and alloy wheels ranging up to 19 inches reinforce the Leaf's premium yet practical identity. The interior now features dual screens along with Bose sound system. Range and Smarter Charging The Leaf offers two battery options and supports fast charging up to 150 kW, enabling up to 417 km of range in just 30 minutes. On highways, it delivers over 330 km at 130 km/h. Intelligent battery thermal management paired with an integrated Google Maps-based Route Planner ensures efficient energy use and optimised charging, even during cold weather. Beyond driving, Leaf's Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability can power devices like grills or lights during outdoor adventures. With future-ready Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) support, the car could one day contribute power back to the grid, helping users cut energy costs and support sustainability.

BlackBerry Phones Running On Android Could Be Making A Comeback With A New Name
Last Updated: BlackBerry phones running on Android could become a reality once again thanks to this Chinese company and its big plans. Remember the popular BlackBerry Classic phone with the QWERTY keyboard and BB Messenger fad? Well, we could see this classic device make a comeback in a new avatar and running on Android. Reports this week claim a Chinese company could be making this move, and offer this phone with its own branding. This Blackberry Classic 2.0 model will be manufactured and designed by Zinwa Technologies and the name of the new phone will be Zinwa Q25, as mentioned in a report by TechRadar. So what will the Zinwa Q25 bring to the table beside the Classic design? The report says it will come with Android 13 version out of the box, and not 14 or 15 but the company assures you will get security updates and bug fixes regularly. It is likely to be powered by a MediaTek Helio chipset with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. The modern version of the Classic will get USB C for charging, NFC, and a single SIM slot with support for 4G LTE bands across the globe. It could have a square-shaped body, with the simple styled keyboard and the LED notification light for messages and calls. The phone is likely to pack a 3,000mAh battery. Zinwa also will have its own version of the BlackBerry cursor built into the Q25 which negates the use of a touch screen and let people navigate on the phone using the trackpad. You will get a single 50MP camera at the back and an 8MP selfie shooter. The BlackBerry Android phase started with a lot of excitement but the company's ambitions and push fizzled out quickly. There is hope that companies like Zinwa can give it a modern twist and bring the old BB memories back for the consumers. First Published:
