Reviews for the Xiaomi Redmi Pad SE

90% Xiaomi Redmi Pad SE review
Source: Tech Advisor English
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.

Source: Tech X Reviews English
The Xiaomi Redmi Pad SE has recently made its debut in the global market, presenting an enticing entry-level tablet option for consumers.

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.

Redmi Pad SE Review: A Budget Tablet with a Good Camera
Source: Igeekphone English
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”.

90% Xiaomi Redmi Pad SE Review: Rethinking What an Affordable Tablet Can Offer!
Source: Nextpit EN English
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!

Comment

Model:

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.
