Xiaomi Redmi Pad Pro Review

Reviewing Xiaomi's Redmi Pad Pro 2024, an Android tablet that boasts premium features like a crisp 120Hz display and quad speaker setup for a price that won't pummel your budget. I've been testing the Xiaomi Redmi Pad Pro for a week so here's my verdict on the gaming performance, battery life and beyond. It's a cracker for students, families and anyone who doesn't want to make sacrifices to trim that price.
Check out my reviews of the best budget Android tablets of 2024 right here on Tech Spurt!
If you fancy some multi-tasking on the move, the Xiaomi Redmi Pad Pro offers the usual split-screen action as well as floating windows. You can connect this tablet to your Xiaomi phone as well, to share that screen, files and notifications.
Gamers can actually play the likes of Genshin Impact with a reasonably smooth frame rate on higher graphics settings, thanks to Qualcomm's Snapdragon 7S Gen 2 chipset. Movies look sharp and slick on the Redmi Pad Pro's LCD screen with Dolby Vision support. And there's a quad speaker setup so this tablet spaffs out some serious audio.
I've also been testing the Xiaomi Redmi Pad Pro's keyboard dock and stylus pen (although I have zero artistic abilities).

Just for info here: KZbin does not allow floating windows now because it has become their premium feature. In xiaomi, there was a feature to play video sound without the video actually playing or having the screen off. Unfortunately, that also has been removed as youtube introduced it to one of their paid features

Between this and the Poco pad, i just gotta find a place to buy them.

[@pavelbures1028]

Does it suffer from PWm flicker and temporal dithering? It was mentioned it has 12bit screen. Is it real 12 bit or 10+2 as usual?

[@saifel-eslamal-labban2163]

That actually is a very decent one, that headphone jack, the SD card, and the dexent 12-inch display is a very tempting one. This is the new budget king of the tablets. You might need to look up the stylus for latency and battery life, but this is an amazing deal

[@PaddyWV]

Had a Xiaomi notification yesterday for this. We bought the Xiaomi Pad 6 a couple of months ago. We were under the impression there was a keyboard case available for it as one was initially advertised with it. Imagine our surprise when this magically disappeared. Xiaomi has been evasive as to why this happened and no mention as to whether the dock will come back. Point being. If this gets a keyboard, where's the "6" keyboard gone.

[@skyMcWeeds]

Damn scummy of Xiaomi. Glad i got the keyboard case/dock before they took it down

[@PaddyWV]

@@skyMcWeeds Cheers! I didn't imagine it then! Is it any good?

[@skyMcWeeds]

@@PaddyWV its decent for the price works fine for productivity. its not on par with the samsung and ipad keyboards but that's to be expected of such an affordable keyboard case.

[@BerbaFred]

@techspurt If given the choice between the Honor Pad 9 and the Xiaomi Redmi Pad Pro 8Gb + 256GB which are on special at the same price currently. Which one do you recommend for general day to day performance? I will be using it for web browsing, marking up PDF drawings and Streaming content.

[@AdewaleLuqmaanMudasiru]

I don't think you'll be making a wrong pick with anyone giving the primary use case you've listed... Anyone you pick would do just fine for those tasks. What you need to look out for is any feature that would give better color and connectivity maybe, if that your thing. In terms of performance... Both are good and would handle any task fine

[@BerbaFred]

@@AdewaleLuqmaanMudasiru Appreciate the advice. I think I am leaning more towards Redmi Pad Pro for that reason. A brighter display and bigger battery with a newer chipset. Being based in the UK I know Xiaomi has a store in London, so also hoping there is more after sales support. Also it comes with Android 14 out the box. So yeah, I think my mind is made up, just need to pull the trigger.

[@alvarosalandy7969]

Are your hand huge? or you're just angry to see me?

[@miguelalbarracin9077]

I'm kind of here for it. I'm pretty well locked into the Apple ecosystem, but I used to use Xiaomi products years ago. I think that if I ever get another tablet, it would definitely be a Xiaomi tablet. It's pretty similar to iPadOS but wide open and more practical.

[@Unan1mouz]

The Redmi Pad Pro doesn't have Workstation Mode?

[@chokyrie3766]

What I really want to know is if that stylus works with the other Xiaomi pads.

[@jiffonbuffo]

Headphone jack, sd card slot and stylus support. Only disappointment here is lack of cellular just like the Legion Y700 (old model tablet). Can be used as GPS replacement on maps. But I guess it'd jack up the price if it had 4g/5g connectivity. Another so close product.

[@FrozenDung]

For the price it's absolutely fine. Just hot spot it with your phone

[@geesonrob]

2 years of Android updates is a bag of shit when people keep their tablets way longer than they do with their smartphones. I'm seriously on the fence about buying this bugger now.

[@greendlaw5251]

thumbs down for the 3 charging points (tablet - keyboard pen). in pad 6 pen gets charged instantly & the keyboard gets directly energy from the tablet it self. so in my mind i only have to charge one thing and not 3

[@kas_ru]

How does the Redmi Pad Pro differ from the Poco Pad? If you compare the characteristics on the official websites, then they are twins. What is the point of releasing 2 identical tablets on the global market? Maybe they have different manufacturers of displays or cameras? Someone had to save money on something. Otherwise, I really don't understand the point of releasing 2 identical tablets on the global market...

[@goodlife2144]

They are the same only the colours differs. Poco Pad won’t be released in some countries where Redmi Pad Pro was released. For example Germany no India yes

[@chrispriest1904]

SO WHY WOULD YOU BUY THE 128GB if it can be expanded chris?

[@leeeverett4067]

I think you mean the bigger version with 256gb I personally would choose it because it comes with 2gb of ram more compared to the 128gb version. But if we're only talking about storage it doesn't matter what you choose because you can always extend your story storage capacity with an sd cardi
