Xiaomi Redmi Pad review

introduction

Marketed under the Redmi brand, Xiaomi’s latest budget tablet has a simple name: it’s just Redmi Pad. chipset, a large battery and useful cameras.

The 10.61-inch (pay attention to 0.01 “) IPS display may not seem like much, but it has a class-defining feature: a 90Hz refresh rate. The Mediatek Helio G99 chipset is quite powerful and frugal at the same time, and the 8,000mAh battery promises solid longevity. 8MP resolution on both the front and rear cameras is a step above the minimum (in a good way) and also the lens wider than most of the selfie cam is welcome.The slot, well-designed speaker system and metal-clad body don’t hurt either.
