A few days ago, Xiaomi introduced the Redmi Pad 2 after multiple leaks revealed details about it. Although the tablet won’t be available in India until June 18, it can be pre-ordered now in the Eurozone and the UK, both with and without 4G options.
New Chipset Unveiled
The Redmi Pad 2 features MediaTek’s new Helio G100 Ultra chipset for the first time. However, the specs Xiaomi provided seem to mirror those of the current Helio G100. This includes a Mali-G57 MP2 GPU, two ARM Cortex-A76 CPU cores clocked at 2.2 GHz, and six Cortex-A55 CPU cores limited to 2 GHz. At this point, it remains unclear what sets the Helio G100 Ultra apart from its predecessor.
Impressive Display
Xiaomi has equipped the Redmi Pad 2 with an 11-inch IPS display that offers a resolution of 2,560 x 1,600 pixels, featuring a 16:10 aspect ratio, a pixel density of 274 PPI, and a peak brightness of 600 nits. The display refreshes at 90 Hz and is only slightly smaller than the one used in the Xiaomi Pad 7 (currently priced at $399 on Amazon). This aspect ratio allows the Redmi Pad 2 to be taller and slimmer than the Pad 7, measuring 254.58 x 166.04 mm.
Pricing and Availability
Right now, the Redmi Pad 2 is available starting at €199 in the Eurozone for the Wi-Fi model in Mint Green and Graphite Grey. This version comes with 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, but Xiaomi also offers options with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage at a small extra cost. The 4G models begin at €249, not including any launch discounts. In the UK, the starting price for the Redmi Pad 2 is £169, while the 4G version is listed at £219.
