Xiaomi Poco Pad X1
Pros
Cons
The Xiaomi Poco Pad X1 is a mid-range 11.2-inch Android tablet powered by the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3, aimed at users who want both productivity and gaming capabilities. Reviews highlight its bright, sharp 3:2 IPS display with 3200 x 2136 resolution and 144 Hz refresh rate, solid performance in multitasking and even demanding games, and dependable battery life from the 8850 mAh pack. Connectivity and features are modern, including Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, USB-C with Power Delivery, and Dolby Vision/Atmos support. With an aggregate rating of about 66%, the tablet is seen as competent but not class-leading. Criticism focuses mainly on value: while the tablet alone is reasonably priced at around $349 (early bird), the optional Floating Keyboard and Focus Pen are costly, pushing a full setup toward $700. At that all-in price, several reviewers argue that better-balanced alternatives exist, even though they still regard the Poco Pad X1 as a strong workhorse and an appealing option for students and budget-conscious power users who skip or limit accessories.

Reviews for the Xiaomi Poco Pad X1
Source: Trusted Reviews
All told, I’ve been very pleasantly surprised by the Poco Pad X1. It offers the sort of convenience and capability you’d want from any tablet. And to my mind is one of the best bang-for-buck iPad alternatives on the market. If you want an Android tablet that offers a lot of versatility, so that you can switch between work mode, media consumption, gaming or even casual creativity, you can do it all with this, especially if you go all in on the pencil and keyboard accessories. Sure it could be a little less laggy, have better cameras and sound, but at this price, it’s difficult to fault.

So, that wraps up our review on the POCO Pad X1. We're glad to say that it's a favorable pickup, with nods to its performance, battery life, and immersive audio. Our gripes with the tablet are pretty minimal, which include the bigger POCO logo change and absence of Circle to Search. Come to think of it, the real bummer here is the tablet stepping away from the 3.5mm port and expandable storage. Still, the pros very much outweigh the cons. The design change is subjective, plus we're optimistic that the Circle to Search function will get resolved sooner than later. The tablet itself runs smoothly on most occasions, comes with great uptime, and provides a well-rounded audio-visual experience. Well, we've made it to the end, but unfortunately, we didn't have the official price of the POCO Pad X1 at the time of writing. For reference, the POCO Pad was priced at PHP 15,999, so readers should expect it to be within this range.

That's a complex question with no easy answer. At $349 (early bird price), the Poco Pad X1 looks like a decent deal. The chipset is snappy, the screen is bright and crisp, and there are a slew of accessories that can transform this tablet into a productivity machine. The bad news is that these accessories cost extra, the Floating Keyboard, albeit awesome, costs $199, and the Focus Pen will set you back another $99. In the end, the whole package ends up pushing $700, and for that amount of money, there are better options out there.

Reviewing Xiaomi's POCO Pad X1, an upgraded version of their original budget tablet with similar specs to the Redmi Pad 2. Performance has been boosted for gaming and the battery life is great, but is the 11-inch POCO Pad X1 your best affordable Android tablet option? Well, if you want to stay productive on the go (student perhaps?), this is a strong rival vs the Honor Pad V9 and OnePlus Pad Lite. You've got a Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 on board, which can happily cope with multi-tasking and handle games too. Even Wuthering Waves was playable on the Xiaomi POCO Pad X1 in my testing. Battery life is dependable while the IPS screen is sharp and pumps out natural colours. Of course, this isn't one of the best tablets for movies, with that 3:2 aspect ratio. But films still look and sound great (with Dolby Vision and Atmos support).

Poco has two "new" tablets. I put the word new in quote marks because we have seen the hardware before somewhere... Still, even if these are rebranded devices, they're excellent tablets for their price, especially the Poco Pad X1, a flagship level tablet that is a very capable productivity machine.
