Xiaomi Redmi Pad Pro Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Xiaomi Redmi Pad Pro - major improvements

Tablets from the sub-brand of the Chinese company Xiaomi called Redmi have sold millions of copies around the world. They provided the brand's signature quality, as well as excellent functionality and autonomy in their segment. But it was not without its drawbacks, the main one of which was not the most impressive performance. The hero of today's review completely eliminates this shortcoming, while maintaining a reasonable pricing policy.

The design of the new product is strict, stylish and attractive. The designer did not go for a frameless display, but pleased with the beautiful colors of the body made of high-quality polycarbonate and the original design of the camera. In the average price category, you rarely find a gadget with a 12.4-inch IPS display. This diagonal opens up space for web surfing, photo editing and a sea of other operations. The output image is high quality thanks to a resolution of 2560x1600 pixels, 120 Hz refresh rate, and realistic color reproduction. The brightness reserve of 650 nits is decent for IPS technology, but direct rays of the sun still take away most of the image visibility. But there is an oleophobic layer even on the included protective film.

The technical characteristics deserve only praise. The latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 processor is significantly ahead of previously used CPUs, reaching, together with 6GB/8GB of RAM and the Adreno 710 video adapter, about 600 thousand points in the AnTuTu benchmark. The gaming capabilities of the chipset are impressive; even resource-intensive projects such as Honkai: Star Rail, Fortnite can be tested with a stable frame rate. Energy efficiency is also excellent. A 10,000 mAh battery will only require searching for outlets once every couple of days. The battery also supports fast charging with a power of 33W. The size of the permanent memory of 128/256GB of ROM can always be increased with MicroSD cards.

The 8-megapixel main and front photo modules are designed for video communication; taking more or less good pictures with their help is only possible in ideal daylight. But with sound the situation is noticeably better. Stereo speakers differ in both volume and balanced frequency response. Unfortunately, a version with 4G is not planned; we will have to forget about support for SIM cards. But even such a minus is not able to spoil the impression of a device that is stunning in all respects.
