Actually our local specs really throw face. Taobao all China tablet comes with the high end snapdragon 8 or demensity 8+ chip all going for $300-400.

Prices will be different in different countries. FYI phone/tablets more expensive in Europe compared to Singapore, it's all relative

I had fond memories of my time with the first Pad. However, it is rather disappointing that Pad 2 only comes with a Helio G100 and still, same old 18w charging.

Update: Kay, I went ahead and bought the Pad 2 Wifi via Shopee for $218.

And G99 G100 might as well be the exact same cpu

Only a small handful of phone's camera will make it of it when shooting full 200mp mode

Yeah. If I recall correctly, I bought one of the last BNIB sets of Redmi Pad in Singapore one year ago for.....I think $248?

Considering this new Pad 2 has increased ram, storage and battery at $218, I decided I'd just go for it despite the Helio G100. At the very least, the SoC still meets my needs.

I have the OG Redmi Pad, if purely for media viewing i think it's great since the speakers really are good which I didn't regret buying even if A76 nodes are already outdated even for 2022 when it was out

But if not after the speaker and willing to venture I'll probably whack any of those chinese tablet (Lenovo Xiaoxin, Alldocube, Teclast, Headwolf, Lincplus) from aliexpress/tabao

Oooh yess! The Redmi Pad's speakers were tuned really loud and robust, even better than my previous Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2021 and maybe even my Xiaomi Pad 6.
Xiaomi sent out my Pad 2 really swiftly. Bought it early morning and Ninja Van picked it up already by 2pm. Good chance I might receive it later today.

Yeah, the Poco Pad (256Gb) on Shopee is only $250ish after discount. And it does come with a capable mid-tier Snapdragon 7s Gen 2, Wifi 6 and 33w charging. Although I chose to buy Pad 2 mainly coz of the more compact size and potentially better battery life, I personally think that the Poco Pad is a more bang for the buck purchase during this sales :)

5g is $370.

pad 2 is around $279

the only reason preventing me to buy the 5g is it only supports up to 2 years OS update. Being last year model, means end of support is next year. And security patch available only up to 3 yrs.

hooted the 4g version from mistore $250+ after points offset 10 %.

its my 2nd pad after the 1st xiaomi pad think 7 inch years ago when they first debuted.

online review quoted 3 hrs for full charges and last 13 hrs media play. think realistic 2 days normal use.

i know its pretty tough for me coming for high speed charging.

hooted for e reading and media player on the go.
