Redmi Pad Se 4g Design & Display
Pad Se 4g follows simple design. We reviewed the Urban Gray color variant. Its back is plastic, which has a matte finish. Don’t be disappointed after reading ‘plastic’, as the build quality is solid. On the back side, there is a camera module on the top left and Redmi branding at the bottom. The company did not ‘show off’ much more than that, which made its look decent. It is good looking from the front side also. Although the top and bottom bezels i.e. the empty area compared to the display is slightly more, one should not expect a very low screen to body ratio in this price range.
This tab is thin with 8.8mm thickness. It is compact in size and was fitting comfortably in my hand. Its four edges are rounded. Speakers are provided on both the top and bottom sides. At the bottom, there is a Type-C port, a 3.5mm headphone jack and a microphone. It also has an IR blaster, so it can work as a remote. There is a power button and volume rocker on the right side. a SIM tray on the left side, in which 2 SIMs and an SD card up to 2 TB can be inserted. There is no fingerprint sensor in it.
With form factors like compact feel
solid build and easy to carry, Redmi Pad Se 4g can be given full marks in design. My 6 year old daughter was also able to use it comfortably and did not find it too heavy as the weight is 375 grams.
Redmi Pad Se 4g has an 8.7-inch HD Plus LCD display, whose resolution is 1340 X 800 pixels. The 8.7-inch screen may seem small compared to the 10-inch display tabs available in the market, but users buying the tab for the first time will find it bigger. The most important thing is that this screen size fits the purpose of a tablet. If it was less than this, it would have seemed small.
The display of
‘Scratch resistant Glass’. Even after using it for a month, there was no scratch on the display, but I suggest you to apply tempered glass. Initially, I was a bit surprised by the display because my smartphone has an AMOLED display with Full HD Plus resolution. Gradually my eyes adjusted to the HD Plus LCD screen. It is bright enough for indoor use. Its brightness goes up to 600 nits in sunlight and at times the display was fading in strong sunlight.
I did not face any problem in indoor use. The balance of colour-contrast was good. Xiaomi has said that this display is TUV Rhineland certified, which means that it does not cause much harm to the eyes if used for a long time. I streamed content from YouTube and Disney Hotstar in it. I didn’t enjoy it much in HD quality, but it didn’t tire my eyes too much.
Due to its compact design, this tab is easy to carry. It supports refresh rate up to 90 Hz, which results in smooth visuals during scrolling. Talking from the students’ point of view, the display of Redmi Pad Se 4g will not disappoint those who want to buy a tab for online studies. I read e-papers and online content in it. My experience was good. Still, it seems that if Redmi had offered Full HD Plus resolution in Pad Se 4g, it would have left no stone unturned in attracting people. Yes! Then the prices could have been a little higher.
Redmi Pad Se 4g Performance
Redmi Pad Se 4g has MediaTek’s Helio G85 processor. 4GB LPDDR4x RAM has been added to it. This combination completes day to day tasks with ease. I ran many of my favorite apps in this tab, most of them OTT apps, which performed flawlessly. This tab can handle the load of 10 to 12 tabs on Google Chrome. There was a slight lag occasionally when switching from one app to another. Social media apps like Facebook, Insta, WhatsApp also ran smoothly. App loading was seamless.
In terms of gaming, I did not find Redmi Pad Se 4g very powerful. I was able to play light games in it, but the bus simulator, which is my favorite, did not work at all in it. My daughter played light games like ‘Subway Princess’ and ‘Princess Salon’ in it, which went well.
The back cover can be attached separately to the tab, which also acts as a quick stand.
Don’t expect much gaming from Redmi Pad Se 4G. Those whose focus is on online studies and some entertainment, it will not disappoint with its performance. By inserting an SD card up to 2TB in it, you will be able to store a lot of study material. It supports 4G network with 2 SIM trays. If you live in a remote area, where 5G network has not yet reached and there is no broadband internet, then you can choose Redmi Pad Se 4g.
Talking about benchmark scores, Redmi Pad Se 4g scored 413 in single-core test and 1429 in multi-core test in Geekbench test. In GFXBench’s T-rex, Manhattan 3.1 and Car Chase tests, it achieved 52fps, 29fps and 14fps respectively. The device achieved a score of 687 in the 3D Mark Wild Life test.
Redmi Pad Se 4g Software and Battery
Redmi Pad Se 4g runs on the latest Android 14, on which there is a layer of Xiaomi HyperOS. People who are used to Xiaomi interface will like the UI of Redmi Pad Se 4g. Even if the Pad Se 4G is your first Xiaomi or Redmi device, you will quickly adjust to its software. Barring some bloatware, it has a very clean interface. All the useful apps are available on the home screen itself. Apps can be opened by moving the app drawer from right to left or from top to bottom. Notifications are available on the top left side by lowering the screen, while all the shortcuts are available on the right side. Things can be changed as per your choice by going to the settings. To some extent, I felt as if I was using a device other than a smartphone.
Things like adapter, charging cable and SIM ejector tool are available in the box.
Redmi Pad Se 4g has a 6650mAh battery. Everyday life including social media scrolling, content streaming
With the needs of Rs. 500, this tab was able to last for about a day. But if you use it more for online classes, then you may need to charge it before 24 hours. In our HD video loop test, the Redmi Pad Se 4g’s battery lasted 9 hours 36 minutes, which would be called average.
What disappointed me was the 10W charging support, which could have been at least 18W. The charger provided in the box charged the phone from zero to 18 percent in 30 minutes, 36 percent in one hour and 100 percent in 3 hours 40 minutes.
4g camera from redmi pad
Redmi Pad Se 4g has an 8MP back and 5MP front camera. Cameras do not play much role in any tablet and due to the presence of these sensors, Redmi Pad Se 4g Tab fulfills that responsibility completely. For example, students will be able to present themselves in video during online classes. I made some WhatsApp video calls from this tab. The experience was good. I found this sensor sufficient even for scanning documents etc. Complete photos could be taken, but not much detail was found in them.
Redmi Pad Se 4g Verdict
Redmi Pad Se 4G has been introduced by the company as an affordable tablet, so our decision is also based on the same criteria. People who have to do a lot of gaming or stream a lot of content should leave Redmi Pad Se 4g out of their wishlist.
Those who are students or who need a tab for small needs like a shopkeeper or businessman for his business activities, a mother for the entertainment and studies of her small children and college going students can buy Redmi Pad Se 4g. Are.
