The Android tablet market is not the simplest: many brands are breaking their teeth by venturing into the high end, while more affordable products are arousing undeniable enthusiasm, especially among a young target. . Xiaomi intends to take its share of the cake and offers us the brand new Redmi Pad SE, which comes to market at a price of € 199 with 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. Three colors are on the program: purple, gray and green.
This tablet measuring 255.53 x 167.08 x 7.36 mm and weighing 478 g is based on an aluminum shell. A choice that gives it a resolutely premium look. Central element of any tablet, the screen, which displays here a diagonal of 11 inches. Its panel adopts a 16/10th format with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels, i.e. a density of 207 dpi. The brand announces a brightness of 400 nits, a correct figure but nothing more, and above all a refresh rate capable of dynamically varying between 30 and 90 Hz. This should bring additional fluidity to use. The screen of the Redmi Pad SE finally benefits from a contrast ratio of 1500:1, not bad for IPS.
A chip signed Qualcomm
The elegant aluminum shell conceals a Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 processor. Engraved in 6 Nm, this chip offers eight cores, the fastest of which reach a frequency of 2.4 GHz. Several memory configurations are offered, but we do not yet know which ones will actually be marketed in France beyond the basic 4/128 GB version. Indeed, the tablet also exists in 6/128 GB and 8/128 GB To increase its storage capacity, it has a microSD slot.
This tablet can count on an 8000 mAh battery whose charging speed does not really impress, since the admissible power is only 10 W.
For multimedia, the user can count on an 8-megapixel back camera capable of filming in 1080p at 30 frames per second. On the front, the camera is content with a 5 megapixel sensor. The Redmi Pad SE relies heavily on its four Dolby Atmos certified speakers. We also note the presence of a headphone jack. The tablet finally has Bluetooth 5.0 and 802.11ac wifi.
