Xiaomi Redmi Pad Pro Review: Best Bang for Your Buck?

[@user-neo8888]

This is getting so confusing in which tablet to go for....

[@TheVeganVicar]

It's all a matter of how much you are willing to spend, I would think.

[@seraby7151]

You cant go wrong with samsung tab or ipad, you just need to pay more. Apparently xiaomi pad 6 is better than this redmi pro since it is cheaper nowadays but offer similar performance. The problem is its software support is only up to 2026(thats what i've read anyway), remdi is a newer device. In comparison, ipad software support last a decade. Ipad 6 is being supported to this day.

[@anotherjuan]

0:32 actually there's a variant with 5G that's announced i think a couple of weeks ago

[@TheVeganVicar]

I just ordered a 5G.

[@Uchiha_itachi_da]

I am using that 5g variant

[@Unan1mouz]

Such a shame that many of these budget tablets only offer Bluetooth keyboard cases instead of using pogo pins. And the fact that it lacks any sort of Desktop Mode for a big screen is such a waste...

[@calcoooool]

Realistic expectations 🌚, you want more option , just pay more , period!

[@Unan1mouz]

@@calcoooool lolz I mean... They can still offer good choices of accessories and software but keep the price low by keeping the specs such as the RAM, storage, screen and processor mid-range 🤷🤷 If Samsung can offer their budget tablets such as the A9 series with DEX Mode and 4GB of RAM only, there's no excuse for other manufacturers not to do so.

[@terry4527]

@@Unan1mouz Bruh, 4gb RAM?? Are u high on something. I want my tablet to be powerful enough to get the job done. Not everyone wants a dex mode or features which most of them will probably never use.

[@Unan1mouz]

@@terry4527 We all have different wants. I want some sort of Desktop Mode for my large tablet to actually get work done. I didn't say I favor 4GB RAM, I was saying even Samsung's tablet with that amount of RAM offers DEX Mode. So large tablets with 8GB RAM or more shouldn't have any excuses not to have their own Desktop Mode...

[@MarieFrances-d1k]

Is this pad capable of printing?

[@rionrahman1619]

Redmi Pad Pro or Honor Pad 8, which one is good for multimedia purpose & long term battey life?

[@dragosalincseplo1713]

I brought this tablet and I have 5G variant 8gh ram and 256 BG 2 dual SIM 😊 great tablet ... Great for everything but without AI. Just Google assistant Gemini...😊 Lovely cheap and great battery is amazing and is charging fast

[@bhavanaps2396]

Does it support palm rejection? Can we essily take notes

[@farizshukri7498]

Yes with Redmi smart pen

[@cwchan1625]

I bought the Redmi Pad Pro 5G 8+256GB for Hong Kong Dollar 2699. (About USD 346 ). Compared with iPad and Samsung Pad, this pad is very cheap. The quality is good and worth buying for watching KZbin and Web browsing.

[@Car.glitch]

With smart pen?

[@TheVeganVicar]

I just ordered the identical model for the equivalent of USD$288.

[@zeeshanreza43]

Does this tablet support type-c hub for connecting wired mouse, keyboard and pen drive and ssd?

[@TheVeganVicar]

@@zeeshanreza43, a POWERED hub?

[@emotionalimpact4323]

hey is the stylus good for note taking ?

[@JA11206]

better question, is it good for drawing...? if it is, then it's more than great for note-taking.

[@seraby7151]

​@@JA11206 right? Even non-active stylus tablets are good enough for note taking lol.

[@zuko803]

Why nobody talks about the pen battery??? Its suck af, just bought at sunday and turns out horrible, after charging 15 mins turns out 94%

[@jdturkdrcox]

So is the pad 6 or the redmi pad pro better?

[@shoaibakhtar9297]

does redmi smart pen is compatible with Xiaomi pad 6?

[@TheVeganVicar]

No.

[@Jack_Sparrow131]

There are 2 versions.. 1 of them are ok.. and the other is better Xiaomi Redmi Pad Pro: 6/128GB or 8/256GB, which doesn't have charger in the box, for $250 Poco Pad: 8/256 option only, comes with 33w charger in the box, also perform better by 5% (less throttle & heat) for $300 Personally, I gone with Poco pad since it's already have fast charger, but it's depends on your country It's funny how 2 exactly the same Hardware & the same Software (Android 14, Hyper OS) can have different performance & heat.. I guess optemzations is the key really My theory is Redmi Pad Pro have CPU at stock, which lead to throttle at full 100% load While Poco Pad is slightly Undervolt CPU, which lead to slightly less heat (less heat = higher frequency boost) Poco have 5% more performance, nothing major, but I'll never pick Redmi Pad Pro while Poco Pad option is there, especially with 33w included charger

[@NoName-ds8yz]

uff never knew such difference existed. Its supposed to release in my country tmrw but its the 8/256, 5G varient redmi pad pro. But it comes with a charger in the box for ~360 USD. Would you say its best in the price range? or should I wait for the poco pad 8/128 wifi variant?

[@Jack_Sparrow131]

@NoName-ds8yz As far as I know, Redmi Pad Pro comes in 6 - 128G / 8 128G / 8 - 256G The 5G version is exclusive for Redmi Pad Pro.. and it doesnt have charger, also costs more Poco Pad only comes with 8 - 256G with included 33w charger, but no 5G model Also, Poco is slightly cheaper at least compared to 8 -256G model from Redmi, but some regions have prices difference I bought Poco Pad for $200-ish from Ali Express (was $270) but with Promo & discounts, it was around $200+ So far so good, it's one of best med tier tablets in 2024, especially if you get it for less than $300

[@LukaNyan]

my redmi pad pro had a charger in the box

[@dmitrybulay7542]

Який буде краще для читання pdf, fb2, mobi, перегляду KZbin? Ігри не цікавлять. Не можу обрати. Обираю між Redmi pad se 6/128, Oppo pad neo 6/128, Redmi pad pro 6/128.

[@chinaman1]

I'm looking for a cheap option to the larger screen tablets. Unfortunately, this isn't big enough.

[@Unan1mouz]

How big do you want? There's Teclast T65 Max at 13"

[@dusky8875]

There is no cheap option buy S9ultra for biggest display available in any tab till date.😅

[@alexgut1everything]

What for? It's non sense. Just buy good monitor and plug in your PC/phone. 12" is already big enough,and there's no "big and cheap option".

[@str_w.h06]

12.1 inch is way bigger than you think

[@OptimumPrime-t5u]

I wish Xiaomi offer a pad 6 with sim slot it can be 4g why not

[@amampathak]

great review mate, there's 5g connectivity in india with a dual sim option.

[@TheVeganVicar]

And in Philippines. I just ordered one. Hari Om!

[@truegamer_007]

How does it compare to A9+?

[@elhouts]

a9+ is quite laggy and detoriates with time in terms of software lag

[@truegamer_007]

@@elhouts How does it deteriorate? I was waiting for this one to come out in my country, but bought the A9+ instead a few weeks back. It had some touch issues out the box which went away after I updated to the latest software. I thought OneUI is the best android skin currently?

[@Jack_Sparrow131]

I have both A9+ 8/128GB version, and Poco Pad 8/256GB version A9+ have better OS & slightly lighter weight, that's it.. nothing more Poco Pad (Redme pad Pro): Better CPU & GPU, better IPS screen 120Hz with better viewing angles, higher resolution 1600 x 2560, with deep colors, bigger battery (10,000mah), faster 33w charge Poco Pad is very close to S9 FE Plus, A9+ is much lower in terms of hardware, U can call Poco Pad is S9 FE Plus (Xiaiomi version) Lol Am keeping one at my home, other in my work office, they both are good, A9+ is entry tablet, while Poco Pad is closer to mid-range But even while A9+ is entery tablet, it's have better OS, so yeah am keeping it & will see after 2 years which one of them will start to lag (none of them lag ATM) but only time will tell

[@HirayaHikari17]

​@@Jack_Sparrow131 Hi! Thanks for sharing your experience, I was torn between buying A9+ and Redmi Pad Pro but seeing your insights help a lot!

[@japkoslav]

I own this tablet for quite a while and I must say, it's not all that bad, it's probably one of the best if not the best budget tablet, BUT the display is incredibly glossy and software quality is kinda meh at best. If the new Pixel tablet will be any good, I will give Xiaomi to my parents to play with. It is certainly good, but I am far from amazed by it.

[@truegamer_007]

@@japkoslav The pixel will be priced much higher

[@japkoslav]

@@truegamer_007 It certainly will be, probably twice as much. But on the other hand, using something more expensive compared to something I have to convince myself to pick up might be worthy of the investment. Will see.

[@Jack_Sparrow131]

Glossy? lol, it's avg Gorilla Glass 3, which is super famous & same as any other Tablet I have this Tab & from hardware specs & use, it's super great for $250 Tab But the OS is ok, not bad, not good as Samsung, but it's more than decent I also have Samsung tab A9+ which is better in terms of OS, everything else is meh, especially thee screen viewing angles are horrible, also washed out thanks to it's super trash TFT screen (Xiaomy at least used IPS screen) which is night & day different side by side

[@thomasbrandle7470]

is palm rejection supported?

[@NoName-ds8yz]

yes! it also supports redmi smart pen but theres no magnetic charging or attachment. Youll have to use usb c and attach it using a strap of material which will be provided with the keyboard

[@propanda1800]

This or Samsung tab s9 fe?

[@DimitrisAravopoulos]

u are comparing a big difference machines. if you got the money difference you should definitely go for Samsung. if u are on a budget this is the real winner.

[@sarajqtait2326]

This or the s9 fe ?

[@BedroomHistorianOfficialYT]

Depends on budget, it cost significantly less that Samsung tab s9 fe.

[@BedroomHistorianOfficialYT]

For me,I plan to buy tab s9 fe+, because with students discount, the price range is the same

[@katy_mus]

Finally..I've been waiting for your review before I make my decision to buy this. Thank you for your review 😄

[@RICKY_ETHAN]

Make a review of Honor Pad 9 Pro

[@kas789]

Warte mal du hast einen englischen channel? 😂😂

[@verygoodbrother]

1 year software support and that's it, if you're lucky.

[@lmartins2797]

Not true. I have the 10.6 inches 2022 Redmi pad model and it's been updated regularly. It does have the latest Hyper OS, security patches and Android version. And so far still running smoothly .

[@ReneSiegmund]

Xiaomi Security Center says Android 15 and 16 + May 2027 Security Updates.

[@Jack_Sparrow131]

Company already said it's will get 2 years of OS Updates + 3 years of Security updates 2 years of updates is not long, but it's fair enough for Tablet that's cost $200 to $250 (depending where U live) Want 3-4 years of updates? great, be my guest & pay $600 for S9 FE Plus, or 5 years with Tab S9 ($800) Even Samsung Tab A9+ only gets 2-3 years since it's entry level from Samsung, so yeah keep your expectations resonble

[@NoName-ds8yz]

​@@Jack_Sparrow131 hey! i thought A9 plus would be getting 4 years of update? but if its 3 years then 1 major update is already done. So A9 plus and Redmi Pad pro both end up with android 16
