The Redmi Pad 2 surprises with its premium aluminum unibody construction, providing a solid feel. Weighing 510g, it's manageable for extended use. Its design includes an 11-inch screen, balancing modern aesthetics with comfort. Priced at £219 for 8GB RAM and 256GB storage, it remains affordable despite being unavailable in the USA. The device performs well for streaming, web surfing, and gaming over a fortnight of testing, showcasing Xiaomi's commitment to delivering quality within a budget-friendly tablet.
The first thing that struck me about the Redmi Pad 2 was how solid it feels. That aluminium unibody construction isn't just for show; it genuinely makes this tablet feel like premium kit.
After a fortnight of daily use, including streaming music and films, surfing the web and some mobile gaming, I can confidently say Xiaomi has created something special.
Admittedly at 510g (the weight of a bag of sugar), it's not the lightest around, but it's perfectly manageable for extended use.
The model I'm reviewing, which has 8GB RAM and 256GB storage, costs £219. That's still very affordable, though.
