Redmi Pad 2 pricing leaks through retailer listings
Earlier this month we caught our first glimpse of the upcoming Redmi Pad 2, the successor to the original Redmi Pad from 2022 - this one has definitely been a (very) long time coming. Today its pricing has been outed through a number of retailer listings in Europe. These show that the Redmi Pad 2 will go for €199 with 4GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and Wi-Fi connectivity. That's the base model. Redmi Pad 2 European retailer listings If you want 4G access too, it looks like you'll need to pay €299, but that version also gets you 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, both of which sound much more manageable in 2025 than the 4/128GB combo. The listings show a Mint Green colorway as well as a gray-ish/black one, and we assume those will be the only versions. All of them mention that the tablet is powered by MediaTek's Helio G100 SoC, it has a 9,000 mAh battery, and an 11-inch IPS LCD screen with "2.5K" resolution, 90 Hz refresh rate, and 600-nit peak brightness. Camera-wise there will be an 8 MP rear shooter and a 5 MP front-facing one. The tablet will support 18W wired charging but won't ship with a charger in the box in Europe. Via

New mystery Redmi phone surfaces at the FCC
Earlier this month a mystery Redmi phone stopped by the FCC on its way to launch with no 5G and a 6,000 mAh battery. Today, we have another one - still a Redmi, also a mystery. This device does have 5G support, however, along with Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, GPS, and NFC. It will run Xiaomi's HyperOS 2.0 when it arrives, and will be offered in three RAM/storage combos: 6/128GB, 8/128GB, and 8/256GB. Mystery Redmi phone at the FCC These are all the details that we know about it so far, along with the model number 25062RN2DL. But even from those specs it's very easy to tell that this will be a lower-midrange device. Its model number implies it was initially planned for introduction in June, but Xiaomi and its sub-brands don't always follow these timelines, so while it's definitely coming soon, it's not actually a given that it will arrive next month.

What makes them special? They are powered by Xiaomi's own chip, the Xring O1 . The company is really stepping up its game lately and offering something for everyone – flagships, mid-rangers and budget in our poll, it took the crown for "least best brand," but I still think Xiaomi shines in a few key areas, especially when it comes to cameras and charging – two things that seriously matter for daily the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, for example. It is tied for the number one spot in our camera rankings right alongside the Galaxy S25 Ultra . That is no small feat. A lot of that camera magic comes from Xiaomi's partnership with Leica – and if you've ever been into photography, you definitely know that name. Xiaomi's camera app is also loaded with features. It can be as simple or as advanced as you want. The pro mode gives you full control over both photos and videos, which makes sense given the phone's camera-focused design. And let's not forget: Xiaomi is one of the fastest brands out there when it comes to charging. If you are always in a rush (and who isn't?), this matters.

If you are always in a rush (and who isn't?), this matters. Phones like the Xiaomi 14T Pro, the Redmi Note 14 Pro+ 5G and even the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ are crushing it in our charging tests . That alone makes them worth considering. Motorola (2.73%) – the clean Android champ with a nostalgic touch Now, this one also caught me off guard. Motorola barely got any votes and I really don't think that's fair. Yeah, the company's software update policy could use some improvement, but that can't be the only reason people are passing it over. The brand has been around forever and still manages to crank out some really unique and stylish phones. Motorola devices have a look – even the budget ones.

The brand has been around forever and still manages to crank out some really unique and stylish devices have a look – even the budget ones. Take the new Edge 60 Fusion, for example. It stands out. And if you are into foldables, Motorola's Razr series is one of the best-looking out there. The Razr Ultra (2025) blends retro vibes with cutting-edge display tech and it looks slick while doing it. Another thing I love? Motorola doesn't mess too much with Android. Its phones run a near-stock version of the OS, which a lot of people say they prefer. Our poll actually showed that clean Android is still a big deal for users, so it is surprising that Motorola isn't getting more attention for offering exactly that. The brand isn't flashy about it, but it is quietly doing a lot right. I really think Motorola deserves more credit than it is getting right now. Another thing I love?

Vivo (3.28%) – a design-driven camera powerhouse that's easy to miss Vivo is a huge name in Asia, but it still hasn't broken through in a big way elsewhere – and that showed in the poll. But Vivo is no slouch. It is one of the most innovative brands in the photography space and it is doing some really cool stuff with phone design, too. Thanks to its partnership with Zeiss – yeah, the same legendary German optics company – Vivo's phones are packed with pro-level camera tech. If taking great photos is your thing, the vivo X200 Pro should be on your radar. But Vivo isn't just about cameras. Its phones also look amazing. The V and X series models especially are slim, stylish and use premium materials. The company experiments with textures, colors and finishes that make its phones feel a little more special than the average glass slab. Huawei (4.19%) – still pushing boundaries despite the odds Video credit – PhoneArena Huawei's struggles in Western markets are well-known, especially after losing access to Google Mobile Services. That hit hard. But here's the thing – Huawei never stopped innovating. In fact, it might be one of the boldest brands out there right now. Case in point: the new Mate XT Ultimate.

That hit hard. But here's the thing – Huawei never stopped innovating. In fact, it might be one of the boldest brands out there right in point: the new Mate XT Ultimate. It's the world's first triple foldable phone . Not just another foldable – a tri-fold. That means it can unfold into a massive screen for work or watching content, then fold back down to pocket size. Huawei also just launched a foldable laptop . That's next-level stuff. Despite all the challenges, Huawei keeps showing us what is possible. It is easy to overlook them because of political and ecosystem limitations, but from a pure tech perspective, they are still killing it. So yeah, there's a ton of innovation happening just outside the spotlight. So maybe next time, don't just go for the obvious choices (that is if you are not locked in a certain ecosystem, of course). You might find your perfect phone in a place you weren't even looking. Despite all the challenges, Huawei keeps showing us what is possible.

Some really popular ones – and ones I think deserve more recognition – are sitting at the Xiaomi is officially the least favorite, which honestly shocked me. Right behind it are Motorola vivo and Huawei . All four of these are doing some pretty amazing things, but clearly, they are still flying under the radar for a lot of I want to give them a little spotlight here – because I believe their low votes aren't about quality but visibility.
