Realme is entering the French market for touch tablets with its Pad. The smartphone brand is trying it out with a model billed for less than €300 and intended for everyday use, in a neatly designed format.
Realme does not intend to upset the market for touch pads with its Pad. This first slate signed by the Chinese manufacturer offers a service that is quite simple. Its Helio G80 chip nevertheless gives it enough power to browse the web, take advantage of common applications and allow multimedia use, especially since its speakers are quite satisfactory on this point. We also appreciate its expandable memory and its certainly minimalist, but neat design, which makes it possible to compensate for a slightly high charging time and a screen that lacks a little contrast.
Strong points
- Neat design.
- Expandable memory.
- Satisfactory performance in multitasking.
Weak points
- Poorly controlled color temperature and low contrast.
- Not very suitable for gaming.
- Slow charging.
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose the VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).
Alternatively
The Realme Pad Mini is a compact tablet whose 8.7-inch screen diagonal is like a UFO at a time when competing models are getting bigger and bigger. For a contained price, the device shows overall satisfactory performance and provides long-lasting autonomy. But a tablet is above all a multimedia consumption tool, and with its screen with a definition limited to 720p, it makes a concession that is a little too visible.
