The latest series includes the standard REDMI Pad 2 9.7 and the REDMI Pad 2 9.7 4G variant, bringing upgraded features that improve the overall user experience compared to the previous generation.
The all-new compact version of the REDMI Pad 2 Series introduces several key upgrades, including a larger display, higher battery capacity, improved performance, and a slimmer design. Built for users seeking immersive entertainment while traveling or multitasking, the REDMI Pad 2 9.7 Series combines portability with enhanced functionality for everyday use.
High Resolution Display Delivers Immersive Entertainment
One of the standout features of the REDMI Pad 2 9.7 Series is its 9.7-inch display, designed to provide a balance of sharp visuals, vibrant colors, and smooth performance. The tablet features a high 2K resolution that helps deliver crisp images and detailed visuals for streaming, browsing, gaming, and other entertainment activities.
To further improve viewing quality, the display supports a wide color gamut that maintains true-to-life colors and enhances scene vibrancy. Whether watching videos or viewing photos, users can expect more realistic and immersive visuals.
The REDMI Pad 2 9.7 Series also prioritizes viewing comfort during extended use. It comes with triple TÜV Rheinland certifications for eye care, helping reduce eye strain during prolonged screen time. In addition, the tablet supports up to 600 nits brightness in Outdoor mode, allowing users to view content more clearly even under bright sunlight.
Scrolling and navigating through apps are also smoother thanks to support for an up to 120Hz refresh rate, providing a more responsive and fluid user experience.
Large Battery and Snapdragon Performance for Longer Usage
Battery endurance remains one of the major highlights of the REDMI Pad 2 9.7 Series. The tablets are equipped with a massive 7600mAh (typ) battery capable of delivering up to 1.7 days of use, making them suitable for long entertainment sessions, productivity tasks, and daily usage without frequent charging.
Powering the devices is the Snapdragon® 6s 4G Gen 2 Mobile Platform. According to Xiaomi, the processor delivers a 34% enhancement in performance and achieves an AnTuTu score of over 400,000. Built on a 6nm octa-core architecture, the chipset can reach clock speeds of up to 2.9GHz.
The upgraded processor also features improved heat dissipation compared to the previous generation, helping maintain stable performance during extended periods of use. This allows users to enjoy smoother multitasking, streaming, and gaming experiences.
Xiaomi HyperOS 3 Brings Improved User Experience
Beyond the hardware upgrades, the REDMI Pad 2 9.7 Series comes equipped with Xiaomi HyperOS 3 out of the box. The latest operating system introduces a refreshed interface with new lockscreen designs and wallpapers that provide users with more customization options.
Xiaomi smartphone users can also benefit from Xiaomi Interconnectivity features, including a shared clipboard function that enables easier copying and pasting between their smartphone and tablet. This creates a more seamless cross-device experience within the Xiaomi ecosystem.
The tablets also support Circle to Search by Google, making image-based searches quicker and more convenient for users.
Slim and Durable Design Built for Portability

The REDMI Pad 2 9.7 4G variant features an end-to-end strip design that extends across the tablet’s metallic exterior and surrounds the waterdrop-style camera module for a more premium look.
