Redmi Pad 2 Official: 11-Inch 2K Display, Helio G100 Ultra, and Android 15 at a Budget Price

Xiaomi has officially launched the Redmi Pad 2, the latest entry in its growing lineup of budget-friendly Android tablets. Positioned as the successor to the original Redmi Pad from 2022, the new model brings modest but meaningful upgrades while maintaining an affordable price point.

Key Upgrades and Features

The Redmi Pad 2 sports a larger 11-inch 2K IPS LCD display (2560 x 1600 pixels), now with a 90Hz refresh rate for smoother visuals. It’s also brighter than its predecessor, reaching up to 600 nits peak brightness—a welcome improvement for outdoor use.

Under the hood, the tablet is powered by the MediaTek Helio G100 Ultra, which is essentially a refined version of the Helio G99 used in the previous generation. While not a massive leap in performance, it ensures reliable multitasking and app usage.

Configurations and Connectivity

The Redmi Pad 2 is available in both Wi-Fi only and cellular (4G LTE) versions. Users can choose between:

4GB RAM + 128GB storage

8GB RAM + 256GB storage

Both variants support microSD cards up to 2TB, making storage expansion easy and flexible.

Camera and Software

For optics, you get a 5MP front camera for video calls and an 8MP rear shooter for casual photos or scanning documents. On the software side, it runs HyperOS 2 based on Android 15, ensuring a clean and modern tablet experience.

Battery and Charging

The 9,000mAh battery offers extended usage time and now supports 18W fast charging via USB-C. That’s a 1,000mAh bump compared to the original Redmi Pad.

Pricing and Colors

The Redmi Pad 2 is offered in Graphite Gray, Mint Green, and Lavender Purple. Here's the pricing breakdown:

Wi-Fi Only:

4GB + 128GB – £169
