While Xiaomi's sub-brand Redmi is popular for manufacturing entry-level to midrange Smartphones, they have also stepped into the tablet market. Recently the brand has introduced the Redmi Pad budget tablet that aims to offer a premium experience at an affordable price. It features a sleek design, a large display, and impressive specs for its price range. It was already launched in India on October 4, 2022. Let’s take a closer look at what Xiaomi's Redmi Pad has to offer and see if it’s worth your money. Key Features of Xiaomi's Redmi Pad  Design The Redmi Pad looks great with its all-metal body, weighing in at just 465g and thin at 7.1mm. Its frame design and weight distribution give it a light feel in hand. While the sides are flat, the corners are curved, so you can easily hold it in portrait or landscape. It comes in three colors, Graphite Gray, Moonlight Silver, and Mint Green, with a matte finish, meaning that it will not attract fingerprints. However, the Xiaomi Redmi Pad has no magnetic contact pins on the back like the Xiaomi Pad 5. But if you want, you can connect a wireless keyboard via Bluetooth. The company is supposed to bring out folio cases for the pad, but they haven’t appeared on Xiaomi’s website yet.

Volume buttons are located along the top edge, with a tiny power button tucked away in the corner of the top edge. Four speaker grilles are spread across the top and bottom. Unfortunately, there’s no 3.5mm headphone jack. Display The Redmi Pad has a 10.61-inch IPS LCD display with 2K resolution with 1200 x 2000 pixels and a 90Hz refresh rate. It can display up to a billion colors, but no HDR10. However, the tablet doesn’t have an oleophobic coating, so you’ll have to wipe it often to avoid fingerprints and smudges. The Redmi Pad has a 10-bit display with a 15:9 aspect ratio and 400 nits of peak brightness. Its bezels are just the right size for a budget tablet. When you view it from the front, you’ll get the best experience, but if you look from an angle, you may see some color shift.

It’s also equipped with a quad-speaker setup, tuned with Dolby Atmos, which is loud and clear for the price. The refresh rate makes animations look more fluid, and certain games benefit from it too. You can opt for 60Hz in the settings to conserve battery or set a variable frequency. The tablet will then decide how often the screen is updated. For instance, an e-book doesn’t need 90Hz. Although the Redmi Pad has less peak brightness than the iPad 9, which has 400 nits, it is brighter than the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite 2022. The tablet looks great, with good contrast and colors. However, black levels won’t be as deep as an OLED due to it being an LCD.

Its 8-megapixel rear camera and 8-megapixel front camera are better suited for scanning documents. The dynamic range won’t give you the best results, and colors look washed out. If you want to share photos, it’s better to use your phone. But taking selfies with the front camera is quite satisfactory. Plus, the camera is positioned on the right side of the bezel, so you can look right into it when making video calls. An exciting new feature called Focus Frame is expected in the upcoming updates. Just like Centre Stage on iPad, it will adjust the frame while you move and can even expand the view up to 105 degrees. Hardware and Software The Redmi Pad sports a MediaTek Helio G99 SoC processor, seen in low-cost phones like the Redmi 11 Prime and the Moto G72. This chip provides great performance at an affordable price. The MediaTek Helio G99 SoC ensures users can enjoy popular games like Call of Duty: Mobile, Asphalt 9 Legends, and even Subway Surfers without any lag. You will surely experience smooth gaming at ‘Medium’ graphics and ‘High’ frame rate settings, with a steady 40fps. Read More: Best Budget Graphics/ Drawing Tablet It has three versions, 64GB 3GB RAM, 128GB 4GB RAM, and 128GB 6GB RAM. This Xiaomi tablet is equipped with Android 12-based MIUI 13 software, which delivers a smooth and bug-free experience. You will not detect any stutter when navigating through the user interface, and the portrait/ landscape mode switch is smooth and works like a charm - something you may find hard to come by in tablets of this price range. The MIUI 13 has almost no bloatware - something you don’t often find in Xiaomi products. It compensates with features like split-screen, floating windows, and more! Though some apps don’t have a split-screen natively, Xiaomi is collaborating with developers to bring you the best experience on the Redmi Pad.

MIUI 13 for Pad has a dock at the bottom which stays hidden once you open an app. This dock is adjustable and adds the apps you have recently used to the right side for quicker access. Battery The Redmi Pad packs an 8000mAh battery, promising a full day’s battery life. The continuous use can last for around 15 hours, which is not bad for a tablet with such a big, high-res screen. If you use it for a few hours each day watching videos and scrolling through your feeds, you’ll need to give it a recharge every three or four days. Moreover, it comes with an 18W wired fast charging feature and takes less time to get a full charge. Price of Xiaomi Redmi Pad The Redmi Pad 64GB 3GB RAM version is priced at Rs 14,999 or BDT 18,655 (Rs 1= BDT 1.24); 128GB 4GB RAM costs Rs 17,999 which is BDT 22,386 (Rs 1= BDT 1.24); 128GB 6GB RAM is Rs 19,999 or around BDT 25,000 (Rs 1= BDT 1.24).

While the Xiaomi Redmi Pad might not be the most powerful, the battery and display deliver great value for money. If you’re looking for a budget tablet, it’s certainly worth considering.

With the rise of large phones and better-quality displays, the popularity of Tabs has fallen over the past few years. However, for easy tasking and entertainment, people still look for tabs. Symphony has come up with a new budget smart Tab SYMTAB 80 for its consumers. The tab has been released on 6th December 2022. Let’s take a look if the SYMTAB 80 offers anything new.  Key Features of Symphony SYMTAB 80 Design The conventional design of the SYMTAB 80 surpasses its pricing point. The dimensions of the tab are 208.3 x 123.7 x 10.4 mm. Weighing 407g, the device is not lightweight. It seems to be tough for users to operate with one hand. The overall design of the tab is attractive and useful. Users will not be able to complain about the design despite the tab's inexpensive cost. The feel of the plastic and poly carbon fiber bodies is mediocre. It provides a stronger grip while shielding the back of the tab from fingerprints. On the rear of the tab are a single camera cutout and a pair of speakers. The primary microphone is located at the bottom of the device. The right side of the device has the volume rocker and power button. A single SIM card slot, a memory card slot, and a 3.5mm audio jack are on the top of the tab. Obviously, customers will obtain more than the bare necessities. The device is available in two colors; Shadow Grey and Midnight Blue. Read More: Apple iPad, iPad Pro 2022 Review: World’s most advanced tablets Display It sports an 8-inch IPS display with a maximum resolution of 1280x800. This is much more expensive than many other entry-level tabs. Screens that are extra-large and of superior quality are unusual in low-cost tabs. The tab's display features a high refresh rate, which contributes to its durability. This indicates that the touch response will be a favorable experience for tab users. The low amount of illumination looks to be a problem. However, with a 269ppi color density on the display, the tablet shows great potential in the image quality section. The display's top right corner has a camera lens with a punch hole. The tab's chin and bezel seem much thicker, and it would be preferable if they were slimmer. Camera Camera on the Back The main camera panel has one camera. The main camera is equipped with an 8MP wide-angle lens. The photos generated by the lens are mediocre, and SYMTAB 80 cameras will create nothing out of the ordinary. The transmitted photographs may have a little warmer tone than expected. Sometimes a certain amount of warm tone enhances the overall appearance of the photographs, while other times it detracts from the atmosphere. In dim conditions, contrast rises. Portrait Mode, Night Mode, Insight Google lens, Motion, Enhanced low-light picture, Slow-motion, and QR Code are among the many functions of the main camera pair. Taking high-quality nighttime photographs takes more caution. Users may capture films at 30 frames per second with a maximum quality of 720p using the main camera. Secondary Camera The front teardrop container conceals a selfie lens with 5 megapixels of resolution. In light of the recent pattern seen in other low-cost tabs, the SYMTAB 80 has included a lens with the highest possible capacity for the front-facing camera. The front lens does little more than increase the picture's overall brightness. Photos taken in this manner come out clear, but the lack of sharpness and details causes the picture to become less detailed and grainy. The images taken in portrait mode are of quality that is mediocre and contribute nothing to the camera's total performance.

This chipset is more often seen in low-end tabs. In addition to the CPU, a 64-bit PowerVR GE8322 GPU is integrated in the SYMTAB 80. The tab offers both average-performance and low-level games. The 4GB RAM and 32GB internal memory make it a formidable competitor for other manufacturers. Users will find the overall gameplay to be pretty terrible due to the tab's laggy performance while running high- or medium-resolution games such as PUBG, Call of Duty, and Asphalt. Users should avoid playing these games since they are processor-intensive. Android 12 has been utilized as the operating system for the SYMTAB 80. Therefore, it will simplify certain duties and improve the experience. Battery and Charging This gets us to an additional strength of SYMTAB 80. It features a 6250 mAh battery capacity. Regular users may use the SYMTAB 80 for up to two days on a single charge. Users can use the tab for at least a day, even with extensive gaming and video viewing. A 10W charger will be included with the new tab. Once the tab is put into the charger, the battery level increases over three hours. Official Price in Symphony SYMTAB 80 in Bangladesh There is just one SYMTAB 80 model available on the market. It is equipped with 4GB RAM and 32GB ROM. Users will be required to spend 11,500 BDT to get the tab.
