The Xiaomi Poco Pad 5G 128GB is Xiaomi's 2024 tablet featuring a 12.1 inches, 424.5 cm2 (~83.4% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Qualcomm SM7435-AB Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 (4 nm) chipset. It comes with a 10000 mAh battery. At AED 999 in the UAE and ₹22,999 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Xiaomi Poco Pad 5G excels with its 12.1-inch 120Hz IPS LCD display, delivering smooth motion and Dolby Vision HDR at 600 nits brightness—rare at this price. Paired with the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 and Android 14 with HyperOS, it handles multitasking and media streaming without lag. The 10,000mAh battery ensures all-day use, and the 5G connectivity adds future-proofing. It lacks stylus support, limiting note-taking or drawing use. At 568g, it’s heavy for prolonged one-handed use. In UAE at AED 999, it’s value because no other 12-inch 120Hz tablet under AED 1,200 offers 5G and Dolby Vision. In India at ₹22,999, it’s overpriced—competitors like the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE offer similar screen quality with S Pen support at the same cost. The Poco Pad 5G is best for media consumers who prioritize screen size and smoothness over pen input or portability.
