Xiaomi launches new Poco tablet globally with 120 Hz display and HyperOS 3

Xiaomi has just started selling the Redmi Pad 9.7 in Europe. At the same time, the company has quietly confirmed the existence of a new Poco-branded alternative. For context, the Poco Pad C1 initially emerged in April before reappearing earlier this month at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the US.

Now, Xiaomi has added the same tablet to its global website. By extension, it has confirmed that the Poco Pad C1 will receive a global release in a choice of blue and black colours. Additionally, the listing has revealed all key hardware specifications in the process. In short, the Poco Pad C1 is a Redmi Pad 2 9.7 in all but name, just like the Poco Pad M1 was to the Redmi Pad 2 Pro (curr. $299 on Amazon).

As such, the Poco Pad C1 features a 9.7-inch and 120 Hz IPS display within a 226.51 x 147.97 x 7.4 mm housing that weighs 406 g. Also, Xiaomi includes a Snapdragon 6s 4G Gen 2 chipset, a 7,600 mAh battery that supports 18 W wired charging and a pair of relatively low-resolution cameras. The Poco Pad C1 will run HyperOS 3 out of the box with up to 6 GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128 GB of UFS 2.2 flash storage at its disposal. Pricing remains unknown for now.
