POCO Pad: Key Features and Specifications

The POCO Pad was first introduced globally in May 2024, and now it’s making its way to the Indian market. Here’s what we know about the tablet so far:

Display: The POCO Pad features a large 12.1-inch LCD screen with a 2.5K+ resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, making it perfect for watching videos, gaming, or browsing the web.
Processor: Under the hood, the tablet is powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 SoC, paired with up to 8GB of RAM. This ensures a seamless multitasking experience, whether you’re working, studying, or playing games.
Audio: It comes equipped with quad speakers, providing an immersive audio experience for your favorite media.
Battery: The POCO Pad packs a massive 10,000mAh battery, ensuring long hours of usage on a single charge. Plus, with support for 33W fast charging, you can quickly top up the battery when needed.

Comparison with Redmi Pad Pro

Interestingly, the POCO Pad shares several similarities with the Redmi Pad Pro, which was launched in India recently. Both devices offer impressive displays, powerful processors, and robust battery life. However, the POCO Pad is expected to be more affordable, making it an attractive option for budget-conscious consumers. The Redmi Pad Pro starts at Rs. 21,999, so we can anticipate the POCO Pad to be priced even lower, making it a great value-for-money proposition.

Launch Date and Availability

In an exclusive interview with Digit, POCO India head Himanshu Tandon confirmed that the POCO Pad will be launching in India this August. With the launch just around the corner, more details about the tablet’s pricing and availability are expected to surface in the coming weeks. The POCO Pad will be available on Flipkart, continuing the brand’s partnership with the e-commerce giant.
