Xiaomi Redmi Pad 2 9.7 review: A budget-friendly tablet

The Xiaomi Redmi Pad 2 9.7 is an entry-level Android tablet designed for basic daily tasks such as web browsing, streaming, and student use. It features a 9.7-inch 120-Hz display with thin bezels and a build quality that mimics mid-range devices. The tablet supports a compatible stylus and offers expandable storage via microSD.

While the device offers high value for its price point—approximately 150 to 190 Euros—it has notable performance limitations. The Snapdragon chipset may struggle with intensive multitasking or gaming, and the lack of a fingerprint sensor, slow charging speeds, and distorted speaker audio are identified as drawbacks. However, the device is supported by long-term software updates from Xiaomi.
