The new REDMI Pad 2 SE has been unveiled in China—an affordable tablet with a 9.7-inch screen that can handle just about anything as long as you’re not too demanding.
Inside its metal unibody chassis lies the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 6s 4G Gen 2, featuring 4G connectivity and built on a 6 nm process. This chipset scores around 410,000 points on AnTuTu v10, making it more than sufficient for basic use. The display also holds its own, featuring 2K resolution and the standard 16:10 aspect ratio.
It runs Android 16 with the Xiaomi HyperOS 3 overlay, and it’s worth noting that there’s also a model with 4G-LTE connectivity and dual SIM support if you want to stay constantly connected to the data network.
