The Xiaomi Redmi Pad SE sits apart from the Xiaomi Pad 6 Max but in multiple favorable ways. The latest tablet features a large 11-inch Full HD+ display and is priced quite aggressively.

Xiaomi has launched the Redmi Pad SE, a tablet intended for content consumption, office productivity, and light gaming. Let's look at the specifications, features, price, launch, and availability of the affordable but feature-rich portable Android touchscreen computer from Xiaomi.

Xiaomi Redmi Pad SE Specifications, Features

The Xiaomi Redmi Pad SE features an 11-inch Full HD+ LCD screen with 1920 x 1200 pixels resolution with a 90Hz refresh rate. The adequately fast screen has a claimed peak brightness of up to 400 nits, and 1500:1 contrast. The Xiaomi Redmi Pad SE has even secured TUV Rheinland certification, which means, it emits low blue light, and hence, is easy on the eyes.

Xiaomi has embedded the 6nm octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 SoC inside the Redmi Pad SE. Buyers can pair this reliable midrange chipset with 4 GB, 6 GB, or 8 GB of RAM. However, there's only 128GB of storage in all the variants. Buyers can insert a microSD card of up to 1TB capacity to expand onboard storage.

When held horizontally, the Xiaomi Redmi Pad SE sports a 5 MP selfie camera that sits on the top side. There's a single rear-facing camera setup, comprising a 8 MP f/2.0 camera with 1080p video recording capabilities.

Redmi Pad SE features "large-size quad speakers" and supports Dolby Atmos as well as Hi-Res audio. The tablet even has a 3.5 mm audio jack.

The Xiaomi Redmi Pad SE features a USB-C port meant for charging the 8,000mAh battery. Strangely, the tablet does not support any fast charging, allowing only 10W wired charging.

The Redmi Pad SE runs Android 13 with MIUI Pad 14 on top. It weighs 478 grams. The tablet supports dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0.
