Finally, Redmi has released a tablet. It is an inexpensive tablet, just like all of its phones, and this is its main benefit. It provides a strong processor and a large battery to the market at a very low cost. However, Redmi is not the only sub-brand that has released a tablet: its immediate competitor, Realme, has released the Realme Pad. Another low-cost tablet that was introduced more than a year ago yet is still extremely current. Many people are debating whether they should acquire the Realme tablet for its low street price or something newer, such as the Redmi one. Here is a comparison of the major specifications of the Redmi Pad and the Realme Pad to help you decide.

Design
The Realme Pad is the most visually appealing of the two tablets. To begin with, it is fully made of quality materials, as it has an aluminum frame and aluminum back. It is extremely thin and lightweight. Furthermore, it does not feature a large camera module, but rather a single camera mounted right on the rear cover, giving it a very basic appearance. Last but not least, it is more compact due to its smaller display and battery. The Redmi Pad has a plastic back and an aluminum frame, and it is larger and chunkier than its competitor. Furthermore, it includes a large camera module, which is not ideal for design enthusiasts. Both tablets have a high screen-to-body ratio, with very thin bezels surrounding the screens and the screen covering more than 80% of the front panel.
Display
Are you seeking the most sophisticated overall display? If this is the case, you should go with the Redmi Pad without hesitation. For starters, with a diagonal of 10.61 inches, it features a larger display than its competitor. It can also display up to one billion colors and has a Full HD+ resolution of 1200 x 2000 pixels. Finally, it features a 90 Hz refresh rate, which is ideal for gaming and providing a smoother viewing experience. The Realme Pad has a 10.4-inch panel with a diagonal of 10.4 inches that displays pictures with a Full HD+ resolution of 1200 x 2000 pixels. Unfortunately, both devices have IPS LCD screens, so don’t anticipate the deep blacks and bright colors that OLED displays provide. However, they each have four stereo speakers, so the audio experience is fantastic.
Camera
When it comes to cameras, there are no significant differences between these two tablets because their sensors are identical. They have an 8MP back camera and an 8MP ultrawide front camera with a 105-degree field of view. The photo quality is similar, and they can shoot films at 1080p resolution at 30 frames per second.
Specs & Performance
The Redmi Pad has the most powerful hardware configuration. It is powered by the new MediaTek Helio G99 chipset, which is built with a 6 nm manufacturing process and features an octa-core architecture composed of two Cortex A76 CPUs running at 2.2 GHz, six Cortex A55 CPUs running at 2 GHz, and a Mali G57 MC2 GPU, as well as up to 6 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of UFS 2.2 native storage. The Realme Pad comes with a subpar MediaTek Helio G80 mobile platform, up to 6 GB of RAM, and up to 128 GB of native storage. Aside from improved hardware, the Redmi Pad comes with Android 12 out of the box, whilst the Realme Pad remains on Android 11.
Battery
The Redmi Pad comes with a large battery that may deliver a longer battery life with each use. Xiaomi was able to integrate a larger battery because of its larger size. The battery of the Realme Pad is smaller, but it allows reverse charging, allowing you to use it as a power bank.
Price & Availability
The Redmi Pad’s beginning price in our market is Php13,999, whilst the Realme Pad can readily be found for Php10,990. The Redmi tablet wins the comparison, although it is significantly more expensive.
