Xiaomi has officially launched the REDMI Pad 2 9.7 Series in the Philippines, introducing both Wi-Fi and 4G variants aimed at portable entertainment and everyday productivity.
The new lineup builds on the previous REDMI Pad generation, focusing on a more compact form factor while improving display quality, battery life, and performance—key factors in the growing midrange tablet segment.
2K display and 120Hz refresh rate lead entertainment features
The REDMI Pad 2 9.7 Series centers its experience around a 9.7-inch display with:
- 2K resolution for sharper visuals
- Up to 120Hz refresh rate for smoother scrolling
- Wide color gamut for improved color accuracy
- Up to 600 nits brightness for outdoor visibility
It also includes triple TÜV Rheinland eye-care certifications, addressing long-standing concerns around extended screen time, especially for students and casual viewers.
Snapdragon platform and 7,600mAh battery target all-day use
Powering the device is the Snapdragon 6s 4G Gen 2, built on a 6nm architecture with clock speeds of up to 2.9GHz. Xiaomi claims improved performance and thermal efficiency compared to its predecessor, supporting smoother everyday use.
Battery capacity is another key upgrade, with a 7,600mAh battery that delivers up to 1.7 days of usage on a single charge. This combination positions the tablet as a reliable option for long-form content consumption, remote work, and casual gaming without the need for frequent charging.
HyperOS 3 and interconnectivity enhance ecosystem use
The tablet ships with Xiaomi HyperOS 3, introducing UI refinements and cross-device features.
Key software highlights include:
- Shared clipboard across Xiaomi devices
- Refreshed lockscreen and customization options
- Circle to Search by Google for visual lookup
These additions reflect Xiaomi’s broader push toward ecosystem integration, allowing tablets to work more seamlessly with smartphones and other devices.
Slim metal design with Wi-Fi and 4G variants
At 7.4mm thin, the REDMI Pad 2 9.7 Series emphasizes portability while maintaining durability through over 40 internal tests. Design options include Graphite Gray and Silver colorways.
The 4G variant adds mobile connectivity for on-the-go use, while both versions feature a metal build, with slight design variations between models.
