Mid-range hardware and 90 Hz display
With the built Helio G99 Octa-Core the one with maximum 2,2 Ghz clocked, you achieve a good mid-range performance, expressed in numbers at around 356,000 Antutu points lands. So you are more than just prepared for the standard everyday life and can also easily play any games. The cheapest version comes with 3/64GB (LPDDR4x/UFS 2.2) at the early bird price of €269.90 instead of RRP €299.90 sold that 4/128GB version is included 329,90€.
If the respective app or game also supports it, even with one 90 Hz Bildwiederholfrequenz. This makes the system/display run smoother and is easier on the eyes in the display. The resolution of 10.6 inches huge IPS-LC-Displays is more normal 2000 x 1200 pixelswhat a pixel density von 219 ppi results.
The brightness of the panel is included 400 Nits and the Contrast ratio lies by 1500:1. There is also a certificate from TÜV Rheinland for blue light reduction, which is easier on the eyes in the evening.
Four speakers & Dolby Atmos
For the sound 4 speakers, two left and two right, held in landscape format, installed. One Dolby Atmos Certification is also available. Of course, we cannot judge how good the sound actually is without a test device.
However, you shouldn’t expect too much from the “Dolby Atmos” playback. With 4 speakers, the object-based sound format cannot begin to offer what Dolby Atmos actually is: add another level in the playback.
As for the rest of the connectivity, there are no big surprises: Bluetooth 5.3, Dual-Band WLAN 2,4 & 5 GHz, USB-Typ-C as well as one SD cards Slot for memory expansion. On the back lies one 8 megapixel main camera, on the front, placed in the middle, another 8-Megapixel-Camera with 105° viewing angle and FocusFrame face tracking for video conferences etc.
Neither the press conference in Munich nor the current technical data on Mi.com revealed which version the MIUI for Pads has. The assumption is that it is also about MIUI 13 and Android 12 should act.
Large 8000mAh battery
Despite the chic and slim design, there is still room in the aluminum casing (250.38 x 157.98 x 7.05mm, 445g weight) found a strong 8000 mAh transplant the battery inside. But only loaded with 18 Weven if a 22,5 Watt big power adapter to the scope of delivery enclosed.
Test reports / experiences / opinions
The redmi pad sounds very interesting throughout, especially because of the 90Hz display, the stylish aluminum housing and the large battery. In terms of price, it is still quite high with 3/64GB for an RRP of €279.90, if you consider that the in-house Xiaomi Pad 5 with significantly more performance sometimes changes hands for around €300. In addition you have the 120 Hz refresh rate, directly 6/128GB as storage equipment and not to mention the 33 watt fast charging.
The next larger version of the Redmi Pad in 4/128 GB is currently €329.90. In our opinion, this does not justify the extra charge compared to the Xiaomi Pad 5, which was sold at the RRP of €399 at the time.
