Poco, a brand recognized for its vibrant and budget-friendly smartphones, has ventured into the realm of Android tablets with the introduction of the Poco Pad. This device distinguishes itself with a 12.1-inch display, housed within a slim 7.5mm chassis.
The Poco Pad’s defining feature is its colossal 10,000mAh battery, surpassing the capacities of comparable tablets such as the Google Pixel Tablet, Samsung Galaxy Tab S9, and OnePlus Pad. This extended battery life ensures extended usage even away from charging outlets.
Despite its impressive battery, the Poco Pad does not compromise on performance. It utilizes a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 processor, complemented by 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The storage capacity can be further expanded by up to 1.5TB via a MicroSD card slot.
The tablet’s display boasts a 2560 x 1600 pixel resolution and a variable refresh rate of up to 120Hz, enhancing the user experience. The screen is shielded by Corning’s Gorilla Glass 3 for added durability.
The Poco Pad features a single 8-megapixel rear camera capable of 1080p video recording and an 8MP front-facing camera for video calls and selfies. Additionally, it incorporates four speakers for stereo sound, supported by Dolby Atmos and Hi-Res Audio.
Xiaomi’s HyperOS interface runs on top of Android, providing a user-friendly operating system. Poco has also introduced a range of accessories for the Poco Pad, including a basic cover, keyboard, and stylus, offering enhanced functionality and customization.
Pricing and availability for the Poco Pad are yet to be announced, but it faces formidable competition in the Android tablet market, dominated by the Pixel Tablet and Galaxy Tab S9 series, and Apple’s diverse iPad lineup. Stay tuned for updates on this exciting new addition to the tablet landscape.
