Tablet · Xiaomi · 2024
The Xiaomi Poco Pad 5G 256GB 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 1,149 in the UAE and ₹25,999 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Xiaomi Poco Pad 5G shines with its 12.1-inch 120Hz IPS LCD display, Dolby Vision, and 600-nit brightness—delivering vivid, smooth visuals unmatched in its price bracket. Powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 and Android 14 with HyperOS, it handles multitasking and media streaming with ease. Its 10,000mAh battery ensures all-day use, and 5G connectivity adds future-proofing. However, it lacks stylus support, limiting creative workflows. At 568g, it’s heavy for prolonged one-handed use. In UAE at AED 1149, it’s value because no other tablet under AED 1200 offers this screen size, refresh rate, and brightness. In India at ₹25,999, it’s overpriced—competitors like the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE offer similar screen quality with S Pen support at a lower cost. The Poco Pad 5G is a media consumption beast, but its absence of stylus and heft make it a niche pick.
