On April 7, according to the revelations of digital blogger @Digital Chat Station, the Xiaomi Redmi Pad Pro tablet will be unveiled at the Redmi Turbo 3 conference on April 10.
In terms of configuration, the Redmi Pad Pro is equipped with a 12.1-inch LCD high refresh rate large screen with a resolution of 2.5K, a large 10000mAh battery, and a surging OS is pre-installed. It also supports a keyboard-style double-sided case and a Xiaomi inspired stylus.

In addition, according to the blogger's hint, the Redmi Pad Pro has a built-in 4nm low-power processor with a running score of 650,000, and Xiaolei speculates that this may be the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2. Currently, devices such as the Realme 12 Pro+ and Redmi Note 13 Pro already use this processor, which is more than enough for everyday use based on the current performance.
According to the configuration, the Redmi Pad Pro is positioned as a low-end tablet, so cost performance has become its main selling point. Considering the configuration and expected market positioning, the Redmi Pad Pro should focus on the student market and be suitable for daily work and study tasks.
Thanks to advanced process technology, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 not only guarantees adequate performance, but also significantly improves battery life. It is also quite rare for a tablet in this price range to have a large 10000mAh battery.

In terms of software ecology, the Redmi Pad Pro comes pre-installed with the surging OS, combined with Xiaomi's inspired stylus and keyboard case, to make up for the shortcomings of low-end tablets in terms of productivity. While the experience in terms of touch pressure and smoothness may be diminished, it's good enough for a tablet that costs just over $1,000 to be able to offer these features, after all, it's better than nothing. It is also a useful feature for students and amateur art lovers.
Although the official price information has not yet been announced, according to Redmi's brand positioning and previous product strategy, Redmi Pad Pro is similar to the Honor Tablet 9 in configuration, but not as good as Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.7. Considering that the price of the Honor Pad 9 is 1399 yuan, and the price of the Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.7 is 1599 yuan, Xiao Lei guesses that the starting price of the Redmi Pad Pro may be set at 1299 yuan.

According to Redmi's official news, the Redmi Pad has exceeded 75,000 units at the time of its first sale on all channels. For many students and parents, the performance and functionality of an entry-level tablet is more than sufficient. Before Xiaomi entered this market segment, tablet products at the thousand-yuan level on the market were actually very rare. The launch of the Redmi Pad Pro this time can be said to be "increasing the volume without increasing the price", and it should surpass the original Redmi Pad in terms of sales.
