Description

The Redmi Pad 2 (256 GB + 8 GB) is the top-tier memory/storage variant of Redmi’s mid-range tablet offering. Below is a detailed breakdown of its key features, strengths and trade-offs.

Design & Build

• Measures approximately 254.58 × 166.04 × 7.36 mm and weighs around 510 g (cellular/4G model) according to Xiaomi’s specification sheet.

• The body features a sleek aluminium-frame design with flat edges, a glass front, and is available in colours such as Graphite Gray, Mint Green and Lavender Purple.

• Its thin profile (≈7.3 mm) makes it quite portable for an 11-inch tablet form-factor, while the weight keeps it manageable for prolonged use in reading, streaming or productivity.

Display

• 11.0-inch display with resolution 2560 × 1600 pixels (274 ppi) in a 16:10 aspect ratio (sometimes marketed as 2.5K).

• Supports a refresh rate up to 90 Hz and a touch-sampling rate up to 360 Hz (or 240 Hz when using a stylus in some markets).

• Brightness specs: about 500 nits typical, and up to 600 nits (Outdoor Mode) in the cellular/4G model.

• The display also carries TÜV Rheinland certifications — Low Blue Light (software solution), Flicker Free and Circadian Friendly making it easier on the eyes for long-usage sessions.

Performance & Storage

• Powered by the MediaTek Helio G100 Ultra (6 nm process) chipset: Octa-core (2×Cortex-A76 at 2.2 GHz + 6×Cortex-A55 at 2.0 GHz), with Mali-G57 MC2 GPU.

• The variant in question offers 8 GB RAM + 256 GB storage, using LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 2.2 storage. Expandable storage via microSD (up to 2 TB in some markets) is supported.

• With this memory/storage tier, the tablet is well suited for media-heavy use (movies, e-books), daily multitasking (tabs, split-screen) and more storage for apps, downloads and content.

Audio & Cameras

• Audio: Four-speaker setup with Dolby Atmos support, offering a robust multimedia experience. Some listings also mention Hi-Res audio (24-bit/192 kHz) and a 3.5 mm headphone jack in supported markets.

• Rear camera: 8 MP (f/2.0) wide angle; front camera: 5 MP (f/2.2) for selfies and video-calls. Both support 1080p video recording.

• While the cameras are modest (typical for tablets), they are sufficient for casual video calls, document scanning or basic snapshots.

Battery & Charging

• Equipped with a 9,000 mAh (typical) battery.

• Wired fast charging: up to 18W (via USB-C, PD2.0 / QC2.0) — while not ultra-fast by high-end standards, it is sufficient for typical usage.

• With this battery size combined with the efficient 6nm chipset and moderate refresh rate, users can expect long sessions of video streaming, reading or browsing between charges.

Software & Features

• Ships with Android 15 and the custom UI HyperOS 2 which includes tablet-oriented features such as multi-window, split-screen, floating windows etc.

• Stylus input: The tablet is compatible with a stylus (sold separately) in some markets, making it usable for note taking, sketching or light productivity.

• Connectivity: The 4G/LTE cellular variant supports mobile data, making the tablet useful on the go without relying solely on WiFi. Further features: WiFi 5, Bluetooth 5.3, USB-C with OTG, and in some models a microSD-card slot.

Strengths

• Great value for the features: high-resolution 11-inch 90 Hz display, quad-speaker audio, large battery and generous storage/RAM pairing.

• The 8 GB + 256 GB variant future-proofs better than lower memory tiers for multitasking and storage-heavy users.

• Slim, lightweight, and portable for its size — good for streaming, reading, watching, working.

• Cellular (4G) support option gives more flexibility for use outside WiFi zones.
