Verdict

Xiaomi's Redmi Pad 2 suits someone who wants a big, fast-scrolling screen and room for films and games. The 11 inch IPS panel runs at 90 Hz, so swiping through pages feels fluid, and its 600 nits peak brightness keeps it readable near a window. Storage starts at 256 GB and can be expanded to 2048 GB, which is more space than most people will ever fill. Inside, 8 GB of RAM and a 2.2 GHz processor handle everyday apps and casual games. The 9000 mAh battery is rated for 10 hours, and the 18 W charger needs a while to fill it. There is no GPS, so offline maps are out. It fits a student or a family member who watches films in bed and wants a tablet that handles schoolwork and streaming.
