[2024] POCO PAD

[dreamcast18]

1st usage with this vs pad 6.

Speaker sound worst, had to turn off dolby which makes it a bit better but pad 6 sounds fuller & more balance. This one sounds imbalanced - louder on bottom & harsher / hollower / thin overall.

No clear speaker option on poco but available in pad 6. It supposedly help to clear and blockage / dust etc.

Speed also can feel slower, basic app update download & install takes longer. Basic OS system patch can take like 10-15 mins. Pad 6 ddr5 & ufs3.1 vs poco ddr4 & ufs 2.2

Display color scheme don't have (original color pro) which imo make look more natural.

Hyper OS version 1.0.12 on pad 6 vs older 1.0.8 on poco.

Poco got miracast which i think mean can cast laptop to the poco. Not available on pad 6.

imo pad 6 is better if ok with smaller screen. But poco more worth it if can tahan the downgraded speaker. Bought 8/256 pad 6 with free case for $455 vs 8/256 poco no freebies for $285.

yep - I only use earpiece with the Poco since it is for travelling usage. Definitely slower than the Pad6. Can't really edit Insta360 videos.

My Netflix/MAX offline downloads were pretty good quality IMO for a budget line screen. Dolby Vision i dunno..seems like anyone can buy the license and name to smack it on..lol

Pad6 is better for home use - hence i got the pad6 for my mom for her news and YT/movies etc. easier size for an old lady to use. Poco too big for her.

Yup, there's downside to the POCO Pad with the price difference.
So got to weigh the pros and cons and personal usage before putting the money down.

Yep...Poco is really disposable road warrior..for the money..the keyboard combo works really well. Good for work/leisure usage and not worried about it being beaten up.

That said... screen protector just arrived! gonna install it today.

Yup, its an excellent setup with the keyboard paired.
Able to work or use for entertainment on the go, loving it already. Only pain point is the lack of Cellular support, otherwise, would be perfect!

May I know where did you purchase your screen protector from?

Thanks for getting back!
Oh yes, did you get any of the REDMI pen though?

If anyone is interested, the Redmi Smart Pen works with the Poco Pad

Got this:
https://www.lazada.sg/products/2pcs...rotective-film-i3064663925-s20906632480.html?

Word of caution..don;t install it too close to the edge..it does not cover fully. So align to the middle. I installed mine too close to the top edge.

Lovely, finally someone that can confirm that it works with POCO Pad.
Do you happen to know if the FOCUS Pen works?

I only bought the Redmi Smart Pen cos it was cheaper at $39 (with voucher) just to try just in case it doesn't work so not so heart pain . Not too sure about the focus pen.

On another note, is anyone using Poco X6 Pro together with Poco Pad? Seems like the connectivity function doesn't work. I can see interconnectivity on the Poco Pad but not on the phone

I have the same line of thinking, and then you came along!
Wah, should I even buy and try whether it works.

Yes, X6 Pro yet to have the interconnectivity function.
Xiaomi said will rollout this in the coming update.

My F6 Pro, F4 GT etc. all works with the interconnectivity on POCO Pad.
Loving the interoperability, functioning similar to IOS's ease of usage.

I set to 80%/90% but noticed sometimes it charges up to 100% too.

I don't see it to 80%

Perhaps feedback to Xiaomi using the feedback module on the device?
I've reported my findings to Xiaomi, and hopefully its picked up/noticed by the team.

Yeah was wondering if it was normal for other poco pad users.

This was the coupons provided on Mi.com.
Not sure if its still available now, might want to take a look on the site to verify since its account specific, especially for new users.
