After launching its first tablet in 2024, Poco is now preparing for a new step with Poco Pad M1. This new tablet model has been certified by TDRA in the United Arab Emirates. And it wasn’t just limited to that; The device was also spotted on Google Play Console. These developments suggest that the official launch process of the product is very close.
Thanks to these recordings, some important information about Poco Pad M1 was obtained. According to Google Play Console data, the tablet will be able to work with a physical keyboard and a stylus called “Poco Focus Pen”. However, it is still unclear whether these two accessories will be sold together with the tablet or separately. However, the impact on pricing policy of such accessories in particular has always been a matter of debate. Past experience shows that the total cost of the device can increase significantly if accessories are sold separately.
Poco Pad M1 bears great similarities with Redmi Pad 2 Pro
It is known that Poco has renamed many models under the umbrella of Xiaomi and offered them in different markets. It has already begun to be talked about that Poco Pad M1 may be the product of a similar strategy. The technical data of the device and the features of Redmi Pad 2 Pro, which was introduced in China last month, match almost exactly. It is noteworthy that both tablets have the same screen size, processor and battery values. Therefore, it is thought that the Poco Pad M1 could actually be a version of the Redmi Pad 2 Pro, branded to suit different markets.
Redmi Pad 2 Pro comes with a 12.1 inch LCD screen. The brightness level of the screen can reach up to 600 nits, which provides a serious advantage especially in outdoor use. The Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 processor used in the tablet offers sufficient performance for tablets in the middle segment. This chipset ensures that the device remains fluid in both daily use and multitasking. In addition, the energy efficiency of this processor also makes a positive contribution to battery life.
The tablet offers two different RAM options: 6 GB and 8 GB. On the storage side, users can choose between 128 GB or 256 GB versions. These options provide flexibility to users, especially in terms of media consumption and gaming performance. However, no information has yet been announced about whether there will be microSD card support. If such support is offered, this will be a significant advantage for those who want to expand their storage capacity.
On the camera side, there are 8 megapixel sensors on both the front and back of the device. Both cameras are specifically designed to perform basic tasks such as document scanning and video calling. Of course, these resolutions may not be sufficient for users who expect a professional camera experience. However, it is a known fact that cameras are not a priority criterion in the tablet category. However, a front camera that offers a clear image can make a difference in education and business use.
The battery capacity is determined as 12,000 mAh and this battery supports 33W wired fast charging. The device also includes a 27W reverse charging feature. In this way, the tablet can charge other devices and serves a very practical function in mobile use. Regardless, it’s still unclear whether the charging adapter will be included in the box. If users have to purchase the adapter separately, this may be a negative factor in terms of cost.
