Reviews for the Xiaomi Redmi Pad SE
An aluminum unibody case, four Dolby Atmos certified speakers and a 90-Hz display—all within a tablet for US$220. Xiaomi's Redmi Pad SE is an exciting package for an attractive price. Our review will determine whether the device has any weaknesses.

The Ziaomi Redmi Pad SE is definitely worth a look if you are looking for an Android tablet that is under that crucial $300 price point. It's a bit difficult to believe that at this price, you can get a solidly built tablet with an aluminum enclosure, a high refresh display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, up to 8GB RAM, and expandable storage, all alongside at least two OS updates. While that all looks good on paper — err, on-screen — it also works well in practice. I really enjoyed my time with this device and would have no problem recommending it to anyone who wants a midsized tablet for casual use. The Xiaomi Redmi Pad SE had no issues running apps side by side, streaming movies, or playing games. Sure, there's still space for improvement — I wish it had some kind of fingerprint scanner and that the speakers had a broader sound stage — but for $240, this tablet is a winner.

The Redmi Pad SE is currently going for just €150, a fairly good deal in our books. We liked the display, the build, the battery life and the speakers. The UI is highly customizable, albeit too heavy for the Snapdragon 680 SoC in some cases. However, consider some of the most prominent drawbacks we found. The most annoying thing is the lack of an ambient light sensor - you can't rely on the automatic brightness mode. And secondly, the charging could be faster. Sure, an argument can be made that this device will probably stay at home most of the time so it would never be far from an outlet. Still, this is one of the slowest charging tablets we've tested. If you are willing to spend just a tad more, then maybe you should consider the Xiaomi Pad 6, which has a better screen with an ambient light sensor, offers a more powerful chip and runs on the same software. Alternatively, the older Redmi Pad, the Oppo Pad Air and the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ may be up your alley depending on your software preferences, but the overall experience and hardware are similar.

At a price of just £199 – and likely cheaper, given Xiaomi’s love of a sale – the Redmi Pad SE is one of the most affordable full-sized tablets on the market. It certainly looks and feels like a more expensive tablet, with a tidy all-metal build. Its display is big and fluid too, and together with good quad speakers, it’s a decent portable video streaming tool. Special mention, too, for the Redmi Pad SE’s stamina, which is capable of carrying you through multiple days on a single charge. However, hamstrung performance, sluggish charging, and mediocre software keep this tablet feeling its price tag whenever you try to do much beyond simple streaming. It’s useful, but in a very limited sense.

Overall, I’ve really enjoyed my experience with the Xiaomi Redmi Pad SE. The powerful speakers mean that streaming sounds great, and the screen is also great to use indoors. Plus, it doesn’t run out of battery easily. Sure, the Xiaomi Redmi Pad SE makes compromises in some areas – all budget tablets do to keep the costs down. However, these shortcomings are all in the right areas, such as the cameras and charging speeds. If you want a tablet just for videos and day-to-day tasks and don’t want to spend a lot of money, then this is a stellar choice.

Despite some of the compromises made to make it more affordable, the Redmi Pad SE is a decent budget tablet in the Philippines. This is made better with its use of MIUI 14 which has a better optimization for tablets.

In this full review, we will delve into the various aspects of the Redmi Pad SE to ascertain whether it lives up to Xiaomi’s claims and if it stands as a strong contender in the budget tablet arena. We will start by unboxing the device and then explore its design, display quality, hardware performance, software experience, multimedia capabilities, battery life, and overall value proposition. Additionally, we will compare it with other tablets in its price range to help you make an informed decision about whether the Xiaomi Redmi Pad SE is the right tablet for your needs.

From the specification point of view, this Redmi Pad SE continues the excellent workmanship of the previous generation. At a price of 1,000 yuan, it has 11 inches + stereo four speakers for audio and video. It is difficult to find a better tablet at the same price. With a relatively limited budget, we naturally cannot expect its performance to be as good as that of flagship products to meet the needs of daily use. In addition, it has a very high-quality metal body design with no breakpoints on the back. There is really no better product in its category. Good product too. We actually measured the performance of “Genshin Impact” with the default image quality + 60 FPS. It can reach the level of 33.3 FPS, and the temperature is only 40°C. With such results, the performance of games such as “QQ Speed” and “Honor of Kings” that do not require high screen load will be smoother than the hardware killer “Genshin Impact”.

The Redmi tablet is an absolute entry-level tablet on the spec sheet, which is also underlined by the price tag. However, the Android 13 tablet turns out to be a real premium device in the hand and in daily use on the couch at home. The processor in the device is more mid-range, especially when it comes to graphics. This implies that demanding games like PUBG or Fortnite might not run optimally on the Redmi tablet. However, for all other regular activities and daily tasks, there are no limitations. The 6 nm SoC is not only compact but also quite contemporary. Nevertheless, there is no LTE feature. Neither is stylus nor keyboard support. Too bad, Xiaomi, because you almost convinced us with the audio jack and the microSD card support and got the full score. Thus, there are still deductions in the B score in the last meters, and it is only enough for 4.5 stars—but from the heart!

The latest to join the Xiaomi family is none other than the Xiaomi Redmi Pad SE. In terms of its design and build, this model is very sturdily built with its aluminum unibody case. In addition, with dimensions of 255.5 x 167 x 7.4 mm and a weight of 478 g, it is way lighter than the Xiaomi Pad 6, which weighed 490 g. In a glance, the build quality does not look lower than that of the Google Pixel Tablet or the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8. While the Xiaomi Pad 6 flagship did not offer a fingerprint sensor, it is not surprising to not find one on this budget model either. Therefore, the only hardware-related security feature for unlocking is the AI scan of the face via the front-facing camera. Apart from that, it is worth noting that the buttons has been arranged in a typical Xiaomi fashion which includes the power and standby buttons which are located above on the left side, and the volume rocker is located on the upper left.
Talking about its display, the device has been equipped with a 11-inch display which is an IPS LCD panel with a resolution of 1,920 x 1,200 px at 207 ppi. Despite the maximum refresh rate being only at 90 Hz, it is definitely a good compromise between energy efficiency, the visual lightness and usability. The display grants a maximum brightness of 400 nits, which is not a bad value in the land of tablets, but makes working under direct sunlight impossible. Despite that, the screen makes a good impression under typical conditions as it offers vivid colours, good contrast, and crisp black levels. As for its performance, the Redmi Pad SE carries a Snapdragon 680 produced in the 6 nm process paired with either 4, 6 or 8 GB LPDDR4X RAM. The internal eMMC 5.1 memory is limited to 128 GB and can only be expanded up to 1 TB via a microSD card. While it caters for an overall smooth performance, the graphics performance is quite slow.
Talking about its camera, this model has been incorporated with a total of two cameras. There is a 5 MP camera on the front, which has been integrated into the frame on the long side for general video chat enjoyment, and there is also an 8 MP main camera, which visually suggests a larger lens to us than is actually the truth in the end. Both provides acceptable photo and video quality for an entry-level tablet. In terms of its battery, this model comes in with a 8,000 mAh which is way smaller that the Xiaomi Pad 6’s 8,840 mAh battery which could not even last long. In contrast, competitors such as the Google Pixel Tablet offers a 7,020 mAh battery, which is a whole stroke smaller. In a nutshell, it is a great tablet to be explored, depending on the need and preference of the user.
