If you're in the market for an affordable tablet that doesn’t cut corners, the Redmi Pad 2 is definitely worth your attention. Building on the success of the original Redmi Pad and the Redmi Pad SE, Xiaomi brings a well-rounded upgrade with meaningful improvements across the board.
At first glance, the most noticeable enhancement is the display. The Redmi Pad 2 boasts a vibrant 11-inch IPS LCD screen with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels, 10-bit color depth, and a smooth 90Hz refresh rate. Whether you're streaming videos or browsing, the visual experience feels richer and more immersive.
Under the hood, it’s powered by the new MediaTek Helio G100 Ultra chipset, offering reliable performance for everyday tasks. Depending on the variant, you can get up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage, expandable via microSD.
One of the key highlights is the inclusion of optional LTE connectivity and GPS – a feature that was missing in previous models. Stylus support is also a nice touch for users who enjoy sketching or note-taking on the go.
Audio performance is impressive, thanks to the four Dolby Atmos-certified speakers. And with a massive 9,000mAh battery, the tablet promises long-lasting usage. It supports 18W fast charging via USB-C and runs on Android 15 with Xiaomi's new HyperOS 2.
However, not all changes are upgrades. The front camera has been downgraded from 8MP to 5MP, which may disappoint users who rely heavily on video calls.
What's in the Box?
The tablet ships in a large paper box with a USB-A to USB-C cable and a 15W power adapter. But do note—if you're buying from the EU, the charger may not be included.
