What customers don't like about Xiaomi Poco Pad WiFi (8GB + 256GB)

  • Lack of biometric authentication, such as a fingerprint sensor; users must rely on less secure face unlock or PINs.
  • Poor camera performance on both the front and rear, described as grainy and lacking detail.
  • Occasional performance stutters and frame drops during intensive gaming or 4K video playback.
  • Slow 33W charging speed for such a large battery, taking over 2 hours for a full charge.
  • HyperOS software feels poorly optimised for a tablet, often behaving like a scaled-up smartphone interface.
  • Accessories like the Poco Smart Pen and Keyboard are sold separately and can be expensive.
  • The 12.1-inch screen can feel heavy and unwieldy for extended handheld use.

Verdict

The Xiaomi Poco Pad WiFi (8GB + 256GB) is an entertainment-focused tablet featuring a 12.1-inch 2.5K LCD display with a 120Hz AdaptiveSync refresh rate and 600 nits peak brightness. It is powered by the 4nm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 processor and equipped with a large 10,000mAh battery supporting 33W fast charging. Key characteristics include a sleek metal unibody design, quad speakers with Dolby Atmos, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and expandable storage up to 1.5TB via microSD. Main pros are its expansive, high-quality display for media consumption and exceptional battery life that lasts up to 16 hours of video playback. However, notable cons include the lack of a fingerprint sensor, no cellular connectivity (WiFi-only), a reflective screen surface, and mediocre 8MP cameras that are only suitable for basic document scanning or video calls.
