POCO has recently launched the POCO Pad 5G, a new variant of its popular tablet series, adding 5G connectivity as its key differentiating feature from the standard version. This release marks POCO’s entry into the 5G tablet market, aiming to provide faster internet speeds and enhanced connectivity options for users looking for a future-proof device.
The POCO Pad 5G offers several upgraded specifications compared to its predecessor. The tablet features a 12.1-inch “X Display” with a 120Hz AdaptiveSync refresh rate, providing a smooth and responsive visual experience perfect for streaming, gaming, and other multimedia activities. It also comes with Dolby Sound and quad speakers, enhancing the audio quality and making it ideal for enjoying music, movies, and video calls.
Under the hood, the POCO Pad 5G is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 2 SoC, the same chipset used in the standard version. This powerful processor supports 5G networks, which is the main upgrade in this model, as the standard version does not offer 5G connectivity. This addition ensures that users can take advantage of faster internet speeds and a more stable connection in areas where 5G is available.
The battery capacity of the POCO Pad 5G has also been upgraded, boasting a 10,000mAh battery that supports 33W fast charging. This large battery ensures that the tablet can handle intensive use throughout the day without needing frequent recharges. Despite its powerful features, the tablet remains slim, with a thickness of just 7.5mm and is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass, offering durability and a sleek design.
For added versatility, the POCO Pad 5G supports accessories like the POCO Smart Pen and the POCO Keyboard, enhancing productivity for users who need to write, draw, or type extensively. The tablet also features Xiaomi Interconnectivity, allowing seamless integration with other Xiaomi devices, which is particularly useful for users already invested in the Xiaomi ecosystem.
The POCO Pad 5G will first be available in India, with the 8GB RAM and 128GB storage model priced at INR 23,999, and the 8GB RAM and 256GB storage version priced at INR 25,999. With its blend of advanced features and competitive pricing, the POCO Pad 5G aims to attract consumers looking for a high-performance tablet with modern connectivity options.
