Introduction

The Redmi Pad and Redmi Pad SE have easily become bestsellers for their all-round multimedia experience on a budget. And this year we are getting a proper sequel - the Redmi Pad 2.

Redmi Pad 2 review

Xiaomi Redmi Pad 2 updates the original Redmi Pad with a brighter and sharper screen, a beefier battery, newer software, better speakers, and larger memory for the base version. New features are also present - optional LTE connectivity and stylus support.

The Redmi Pad 2 brings an 11-inch LCD display with 2,560 x 1,600 pixels, 10-bit color depth and 90Hz refresh rate. It runs on the Helio G100 Ultra chip with the most basic version now having 4GB RAM and 128GB UFS 2.2 storage.

Redmi Pad 2 review

The tablet has four Dolby Atmos speakers, a huge 9,000mAh battery, and boots Android 15 with Hyper OS 2.0. You can pair it with the Redmi Smart Pen if you like to write and draw on-screen.

We appreciate the LTE option with GPS positioning, it's something that has been notably missing on the Redmi Pad and Redmi Pad SE 11 models.
