Verdict

The Xiaomi Poco Pad X1 WiFi (8GB + 256GB) is a high-performance mid-range tablet featuring a 11.2-inch 3.2K IPS LCD display with a 144Hz refresh rate, 800 nits peak brightness, and a productivity-friendly 3:2 aspect ratio. It is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chipset and 8GB of LPDDR5X RAM, paired with 256GB of fast UFS 4.0 storage and an 8,850mAh battery that supports 45W fast charging. Key pros include its smooth performance for gaming and multitasking, a crisp and color-accurate display with Dolby Vision support, and a premium aluminum unibody design. However, its main cons include the lack of a microSD card slot for storage expansion, no fingerprint sensor (relying solely on face unlock), the absence of a 3.5mm headphone jack, and slightly shorter battery life compared to some flagship competitors.
