Poco, one of Xiaomi's sub-brands, held an event today to introduce its new smartphones. Finally, the brand also introduced a product that appears for the first time in its catalog: a tablet called PocoPad. Advertised price is $299.
Looking at the details of this device, it seems to present itself as a good ratio in terms of price and quality. The tablet is primarily developed for entertainment and hence is well equipped in terms of features.
12.1-inch screen with a frequency of 120 Hz
More important than anything in a tablet is the screen quality. The Poco Pad arrives with a wide 12.1-inch panel with a maximum resolution of 2.5K, and will feature IPS LCD technology and a refresh rate of up to 120Hz.
It's a tablet powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 processor, which we've recently seen in some of the brand's devices, like the Poco X6 5G. It will be sold in a single configuration with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage.
10,000 mAh battery with 33W charging
To power all this you need a large battery. The Poco Pad has a 10,000 mAh battery, which can charge at up to 33W. As you'd expect, it arrives from the factory with HyperOS based on Android 14 optimized for the tablet experience.
Users who purchase this tablet and are looking for security and productivity will also be protected. The brand will have three official accessories on sale: the Poco Pad Cover, the Poco Pad Keyboard, and the Poco Smart Pen.
Price and availability
In this pre-sale, the announced price of the Poco Pad in its single 8GB + 256GB variant is $299. As soon as the tablet is available in regular stores such as Amazon, we will know the price in euros and the article will be updated.
