Xiaomi's Budget Tablet Costs Under $230 But Offers 2.5K Display With Stylus Support
Redmi Pad 2 Xiaomi released a couple of very powerful and capable tablets earlier this year, and the Beijing-headquartered tech giant is back with a budget tablet that's officially priced in the U.K. starting at £169, which converts to around $228. This is about as low a price as possible for what is essentially a portable computer from a major tech brand (there are even cheaper tablets out there, but from obscure Shenzhen OEMs). And as usual, Redmi is giving you better specs than the price point may suggest. For example, the 11-inch display is just an LCD panel, not OLED like pricier smartphones, but it is a 2560 X 1600 resolution panel, which puts its resolution at 2.5K. It also features a refresh rate of 90Hz. Getting such pixel density and refresh rate above 60Hz at this price point is a welcome surprise. The 500 nits display The tablet also packs a 9,000 mAh battery that is considered large for an 11-inch device that's only 8.33mm thick. This is enough juice to power the tablet for over a dozen hours if you're just streaming videos or on social media. Gaming, however, will drain it fast, so your mileage will vary. The processor, MediaTek Helio G100 Ultra, is an entry level silicon, but it does offer eight-cores and was just introduced last August, so it's relatively new technology. For typical social media and productivity use, this chip is more than enough. If you're editing videos or playing heavy games, expect some stutters. There's a single 8-megapixel camera that, again, is acceptable at this tablet's price point, but otherwise not a camera most would want to use for anything other than the most basic use (like maybe scanning documents). Redmi Pad 2 supports stylus The quad speakers are solid for the tablet's price point, but of course sound a bit flat to my ears, which are used to superior speakers from Xiaomi's higher tier tablets or Apple's iPad. the Redmi Pad 2 with optional accessories Xiaomi apparently did not design a keyboard for this tablet, instead, optional accessories include a folio cover that doubles as a kickstand (as seen in above photo) and a stylus. Pen input works as advertised, without very jarring latency, but there's no place to house the stylus with the tablet, which is annoying. The tablet also has an 8MP camera There's also a slightly pricier model with 4G SIM card connectivity, which starts at around $295. At these prices, the Redmi Pad 2 is clearly aiming at someone on a tighter budget, and I think it gets the job done. Especially for parents of young children who may want a tablet for their child without spending too much, this is worth a look.

Redmi Pad 2 goes official with 90Hz screen and 9,000mAh battery
Xiaomi's Redmi Pad 2 is the latest addition to the brand's growing tablet lineup. As the name suggests, this is the successor to the entry-level Redmi Pad from 2022. The upgrades between the two are subtle, with the new model getting a higher resolution (2560 x 1600px) IPS LCD, which now comes in at an 11-inch size and a faster 90Hz refresh rate. It's also brighter, cranking out 600 nits max brightness. The other major change is the chipset. While the Pad 2 boasts the newer Helio G100 Ultra – it's basically a repurposed Helio G99, which was used in the previous gen model. This means we should expect similar performance. Redmi Pad 2 is available in Wi-Fi only and cellular trims, with both featuring 4/8GB RAM and 128/256GB onboard storage. You also get a microSD card slot, which can take up to 2TB memory cards. In terms of cameras, you get a 5MP front-facing shooter and an 8MP rear module. The software side is handled by HyperOS 2 based on Android 15, while the battery now comes in at 9,000mAh (1,000 mAh more than the Redmi Pad) and supports 18W charging over USB-C. Redmi Pad 2 comes in Graphite Gray, Mint Green, and Lavender Purple colors. The Wi-Fi only trim starts at £169 for the 4/128GB version and goes up to £219 for the 8/256GB. The version with 4G connectivity starts at £219 for the 4/128GB trim and goes up to £259 for the 8/256GB configuration.
