New Xiaomi Redmi Pad SE leak reveals price and more specifications of upcoming tablet
Appuals has shared new details about the Redmi Pad SE, a tablet that was thought of for a long time as the Redmi Pad 2. Revealed to not be the case earlier this month by Kimovil, the Redmi Pad SE relies on the Snapdragon 680, a 6 nm chipset that combines ARM Cortex-A53 and Cortex-A73 CPU cores with an Adreno 610 GPU. According to Appuals, Xiaomi will partner the mid-range chipset with 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage.
Purportedly, Xiaomi will charge approximately €190 for the Redmi Pad SE with this memory combination. However, other sources suggest that Xiaomi has prepared an entry-level SKU with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage for some markets. In other words, the Redmi Pad SE may be cheaper in the US, where it has already been granted FCC approval. Likewise, the FCC revealed a 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage SKU that is likely to retail for more than its 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage counterpart.
Additionally, the tablet is said to feature an 11-inch LCD panel with a 1,920 x 1,200-pixel native resolution that also outputs at 90 Hz with 70% NTSC colour space coverage. Moreover, the 8-bit colour panel is said to deliver 400 nits peak brightness and a 1,500:1 contrast ratio with an 84.4% screen-to-body ratio. Appuals adds that Xiaomi has also equipped the Redmi Pad SE with an 8,000 mAh battery that supports 10 W charging via its sole USB Type-C port.
Reportedly, Xiaomi will advertise the tablet as delivering up to 21 hours of uninterrupted video playback or 12 hours of gaming, despite the inherent weakness of the tablet's Adreno 610 GPU. Furthermore, the Redmi Pad SE has 8 MP rear and 5 MP front-facing cameras, plus four speakers that support Dolby Atmos. Currently, it is unclear when Xiaomi will present the Redmi Pad SE. The tablet will eventually hit shelves in grey, green and purple finishes though, all with the same underlying hardware.
