It is only natural that the first ever Poco tablet would be based on something that is popular, powerful and yet affordable. Yes, we are talking about the most recent Redmi Pad Pro, which was chosen as a base for this Poco Pad! The Poco Pad is identical to the Redmi Pad Pro, which we recently reviewed.
The Poco Pad comes with 256GB storage and 8GB of RAM. It also ships with a charger, unlike the Redmi.
The Poco Pad is available in signature dark gray and dark blue colors, both featuring aluminum unibodies with Poco branding on the rear side. There are even Poco versions of the cover, keyboard and pencil, which are offered for the Redmi Pad Pro!
The Poco Pad sports a large 12.1″ LCD screen with 2560 x 1600 pixels, 12-bit color depth, 120Hz refresh rate and Dolby Vision support. There are also four Dolby Atmos speakers.
The tablet runs on the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset and is powered by a 10,000 mAh battery that supports 33W fast charging. Finally, the Poco Pad has one 8MP camera at the back and another 8MP imager at the front. It boots Xiaomi’s Hyper OS.
