The Redmi Pad 2 is ready to make its official debut this week, combining practical updates with a new look aimed at users seeking affordable performance. Xiaomi’s sub-brand has confirmed that the launch will take place on June 5, accompanied by teaser campaigns across major platforms and retail partners including Amazon.
Building on the original model’s success, the Redmi Pad 2 stands out with a larger 11-inch IPS LCD display that offers a crisp 2.5K resolution and a smooth 90Hz refresh rate. This display should enhance everyday tasks such as streaming, browsing, or gaming. Redmi also highlights a slimmer and lighter build, making the tablet easier to handle in day-to-day use.
Under the hood, the Redmi Pad 2 is powered by the newly cited MediaTek Helio G100 Ultra chipset. While not a flagship processor, it provides reliable power for everyday productivity, media consumption, and light gaming. More demanding users might look elsewhere, but this platform aligns with the tablet’s budget-friendly approach.
The device will feature a substantial 9,000mAh battery, which should easily last through long sessions or travel days. Fast charging at 18W adds convenience, though it is far from the fastest in the market. Sound quality gets a boost with a quad-speaker setup supporting Dolby Atmos, likely appealing to those who frequently watch videos or listen to music on their tablet.
Other notable touches include a 4G connectivity option, USB Type-C port, and even a 3.5mm headphone jack, covering the basics for most users. Camera specs remain modest with an 8-megapixel AI-assisted rear camera and a 5-megapixel front camera, typical for a tablet aimed at entertainment and light productivity rather than photography.
The Redmi Pad 2 is expected to ship in blue and grey colorways, with storage options ranging from 4GB RAM with 128GB to 8GB RAM with 256GB. Pricing in European markets is anticipated at 229 euros for the entry model and 279 euros for the higher variant, pointing toward strong value in its category.
