    These tablets are powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 SoC, paired with an Adreno 710 GPU. They come with up to 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 256GB of UFS 2.2 internal storage, expandable via a microSD card slot up to 1TB. The 5G variant also includes a Hybrid Dual SIM tray (nano + nano / microSD), making it more versatile for on-the-go connectivity. Both models run on Android 14 OS with the HyperOS custom skin.

    For photography, the rear of the tablets features an 8-megapixel camera with LED flash, while the front has an 8-megapixel sensor for selfies and video calls. A large 10,000mAh battery supports these devices, with 33W wired fast charging. The Redmi Pad Pro series boasts a slim 7.52mm metal body for a premium feel.
