Redmi officially released its first tablet, Redmi Pad, on October 27. The provincial stream is 10.6-inch LCD, MediaTek G99, Dolby four speakers, and the initial launch starts at 1099 yuan.
The Redmi Pad is more practical and more "human oriented" than the domestic tablet in the 2000 price range. It doesn't talk much about productivity, but is positioned for online classes and Bilibili/iQIYI.

Appearance and accessories
The Redmi Pad supports 18W charging, but it is delivered with a charging head up to 22.5W (10V 2.25A). The model is MDY-11-EM.
The most special point of the Redmi Pad is that it uses a Unibody all metal body at the price of 1099 yuan, and four Dolby symmetrical four speakers of 1217 specifications.
Vertical middle frame, coarse frosted. The camera matrix of the same model of the K50 series suddenly becomes more harmonious, even a little handsome, under the flat panel shape.
The front camera is on the right side of the fuselage (in the middle of the top when holding horizontally), and there are two microphones in the middle frame on the side, obviously designed for online classes/videos.
The card slot in the side middle frame is based on the "and or card slot (dual card or single card+TF card can be inserted at the same time)" to block the SIM card slot. There may be a 4G/5G version in the future?
1217 symmetrical Dolby four speakers : This is the most sophisticated and satisfying configuration on the Redmi Pad. The volume of a single unit is low, but the volume of four units is just right. There is no broken sound at the maximum volume. The volume of the four units is uniform (nonsense, four units are the same after all). Even the sound quality is very good, but the rear cover resonance is obvious when the volume is high. The huge opening range of the speaker allows the Redmi Pad to hold the speaker without completely blocking the sound.
Biometrics: Face recognition supports double face entry. The camera is in the center of the side. No matter which direction you hold it, the recognition speed is very fast.
Vibrating motor: There is no vibration motor, which can help prevent the online lesson tablet from being taken by children to play games. It is very considerate. It really makes me cry to death.
screen
The Redmi Pad is a 10.6-inch 90Hz 15:9 LCD screen with 400 nit peak brightness, 2000x1200, 15:9, and 10bit color depth.
The screen supplier's code number is 44 (while 43 is JDI, 36 Tianma, 37 Shenchao, 38 Samsung, 41 Vicino, 42 CSOT), and the manufacturer has not been confirmed for the time being.
After all, it's not Apple, The screen of Redmi Pad is fully fitted (in fact, among hundreds of tablets, There are few "air screens" like the iPad 10).
The touch sampling rate and refresh rate are both 90Hz.

The screen of the Redmi Pad "reversely marks" the screen brightness The actual maximum brightness is 441 nits. At this time, the four corner brightness is 436/435/436/440 nits, which is even better than the brightness uniformity of many OLED screens.
100 nits and maximum brightness contrast ratio They are 1274:1 and 1271:1 respectively, basically excluding the possibility of negative liquid crystal.
After all, it's a 1099 yuan tablet, Redmi Pad is Standard sRGB color gamut screen However, MIUI 13.1 tablet version still provides three modes: vivid, bright and standard.
The actual vivid mode cannot win the default vivid mode, so it is unnecessary to use it. The vivid mode color standard shows the standard. The average color deviation of the standard mode can reach 2.1, and the performance is OK, which is better than OPPO Pad. I suggest using standard mode. The color temperature is very close to 6500K, which is suitable for watching courseware and chasing dramas.
The screen of Redmi Pad is dark at the top edge of LCD, The overall performance was completely worth the price.
Performance&endurance&heating
The Redmi Pad is equipped with the Helio of the China MediaTek G99， It can be understood as the Tianji 700 (the latter is TSMC 7nm) that is removed from the 5G baseband and reset with the 6nm process. Code MT6789, TSMC 6nm process, [email protected] + [email protected] ， Mali-G57 MC2。
In the actual test Single core performance is slightly weaker than Tianji 700, but multi-core performance GPU、 Flash memory has better read and write performance.
With the performance of MediaTek G99, it is really unnecessary to configure a 120Hz screen and more than 6GB of memory. "90Hz screen+6G memory" is the highest configuration that can be supported, which is really like a magic sword.
The maximum pressure of G99 may come from the screen of 2000x1200. It is inevitable to get stuck in the daily basic use. It is enough to brush videos, take online lessons and take notes. It is not necessary to hang up games while taking online lessons without being "punished". By the way, the waiting time of the latest version of WeChat is impressive. I wonder if Zhang Xiaolong has optimized the pot.
The 6nm energy-saving CPU and GPU of TSMC G99 of MediaTek, together with the large flat body, It's hard for Redmi Pad to get hot.
The room temperature is 24.7 degrees, and the screen brightness is 200 nites. After 30 minutes of "Peace Elite" (HDR HD+limited frames+anti aliasing), The maximum temperature of the Redmi Pad is 36.2 ℃, which is extremely calm, and the body temperature does not reach... The integrated aluminum alloy body conducts heat quickly, leading to its rapid heating, but the temperature rise is very low.
3D Mark maximum pressure stability test, stability 98.8%. The fluctuation is not caused by heat, but because the absolute value of the fraction is too small, it is easy to introduce errors
And even if the double baking with more pressure, The maximum temperature of Redmi Pad is also similar, G99 has really tried its best.
Redmi Pad is 8000mAh battery, 200 nit screen brightness. After 30 minutes of "Peace Elite" (HDR high-definition+limit frames+anti aliasing), 30 minutes of 1080P video playback at station B, 30 minutes of microblog short video, and 1 hour of Wi Fi surfing, a total of 2.5 hours of endurance test, the remaining power is 71%.
High EQ means that the endurance of the iPad mini is much better than the 5034mAh battery, while low EQ means that it is weaker than the OPPO Pad and Xiaomi Tablet 5 Pro. Of course, these two rivals are too expensive. What should be compared is OPPO Pad Air, but there is no data about it.
Compared with the ultra power saving MediaTek G99, the screen is the absolute power consumer of Redmi Pad. The power consumption of Redmi Pad in the game/3D Mark toaster is only a little more than surfing the Internet.
The video part has a hard solution, CPU can fish heartily, which saves power. Even if we are on the high side of 200 nits (150 nits is more than enough for normal indoor lighting), the brightness of the video is brushed, The Redmi Pad can run for 10 minutes.
In terms of charging, its 18W charging can basically predict the results when it can handle 8000mAh batteries, and its speed is also catching up with Apple. The actual peak power of charging is 17W, and it takes 2 hours and 15 minutes for 1% - 100% charging.
System and camera

Reproduce the sample of the screen ↑
The front and rear of the Redmi Pad are 8 million pixels, the front camera is Hynix HI846, and the rear camera is Gekewei GC08A3, 1/4 inch, 1.12 μ m, which is often used for ultra wide angle sub photography.
The imaging quality needs no expectations. Online classes and video chat levels. If you want to take a PPT in class, you should try to get to the classroom early and get a seat in the front row.
The Redmi Pad system is based on the MIUI 13.1.2 of Android 12. The surprise is that it has the CDM level of L1.
Redmi Pad has the same function and application adaptation of Xiaomi Tablet 5 series, and the system is relatively stable. It also has three finger/four finger gestures, which can slide left and right to switch between front and rear apps. The familiar dock bar has perfect small window function. The application supports stepless window adjustment, and at most two application floating windows can be hung.
Face recognition supports two faces and system separation. It can use two different digital passwords to enter different system separation, which is more suitable for multiple families. The child/wife/father/mother system is not afraid of data confusion, which is quite practical. However, due to the limited performance, it will take several seconds for the two systems to switch.
Conclusion: To face human nature is to be born for iQIYI/Bilibili
Redmi Pad fills the gap of Xiaomi/Redmi's entry-level tablet, Complete 90% of the demand with more than half the price of Xiaomi Tablet 5 。 Its most prominent feature is the 4-speaker effect, appearance and craftsmanship, and affordable LCD screen, which has excellent endurance and general performance.
Products close to the price range, screens, speakers, and fast charging specifications are very close (almost all support TF cards):
The OPPO Pad Air of Snapdragon 680 (CPU is 6nm reset version Snapdragon 835, which cannot win G99) is 999 yuan for 4+64 version, 1099 yuan for 4+128 version
Lenovo's new Pad, also known as Snapdragon 680, is 999 yuan for version 4+64 and 1049 yuan for version 6+128
The Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 2022 of the Purple Light Show Sharp Tiger Ben T618 (CPU is close to Snapdragon 670, weaker than Snapdragon 680, but stronger than MediaTek P22T) is 999 yuan for the 4+64 version, and 1399 yuan for the 4+128 version.
Lenovo M10 Plus with MediaTek P22T (12nm, 8-core A53)+7000mAh battery is 899 yuan for 4+64 version and 999 yuan for 4+128 version.
The products of small manufacturers such as Kubi Rubik's Cube, Taidian and Zhongbai are several hundred yuan lower, but their performance and quality control are difficult to guarantee, so the 999 yuan price segment is our recommended starting point for online courses/video tablets.
At this time, looking back at the Redmi Pad, the 4+128 version costs 1099 yuan, and the 6+128 version costs 1399 yuan, you will feel that the fragrance is still slow.
Finally, remind: do as much as you can with the same budget. Don't create demand for yourself blindly, and put an end to the tragedy of "3000 budget goes into Kabbah, and four Titans go home".
