$375.00 (as of 11/02/2026 01:50 PST - Details)
It shares the 11.2-inch 3.2K 144Hz display with the Pad 7 Ai but lists a 9200mAh battery, 350mAh higher than the best overall pick. With four speakers and a 13MP camera, it is a strong entertainment-first 144Hz tablet, though storage drops to 128GB.

At 12.1 inches with 2.5K resolution, four speakers, and 12000mAh, this is the media-first large-screen option in the pool. The Poco Pad M1 matches most of those core specs and adds Wi-Fi 6, but the Redmi Pad 2 Pro is the large-screen pick for buyers who prefer the Redmi nameplate.

Our selection method
To build this list we started with the catalog pool, which currently holds five Xiaomi tablets with live listings. We kept all five because the pool is below the usual 12-pick minimum. We shortlisted by what a buyer can verify from a listing: screen size, resolution, refresh rate, storage, battery capacity, speakers, camera, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi version. Prices on this page are read live from each store listing at the time shown, and they are printed by the page, not by this article. Nobody at this site has used these tablets. Where a spec is not stated by the seller, we say so rather than guessing.
What matters when choosing
Use the screen size first
The five picks split into two size groups. The Redmi Pad 2 lists an 11-inch display; the Pad 7 Ai and Pad 8 Ai list 11.2 inches; the Redmi Pad 2 Pro and Poco Pad M1 list 12.1 inches. The 12.1-inch pair gives you the most surface area for split-screen work, while the 11.2-inch pair is the only place you will find a stated 144Hz refresh rate.
Choose the size you will actually carry, then compare display features, storage, and connectivity within that size group.
Refresh rate: only two picks state 144Hz
The Pad 7 Ai and Pad 8 Ai are the only picks with a refresh rate in the seller's listing: 144Hz on an 11.2-inch 3.2K panel. The other three picks state 2.5K resolution but do not state a refresh rate. If you play fast-moving games or want high refresh for compatible content, your choice is effectively between those two Ai models.
Storage is either 128GB or 256GB in this pool
Four of the five picks list 256GB: Redmi Pad 2, Redmi Pad 2 Pro, Pad 7 Ai, and Poco Pad M1. Pad 8 Ai lists 128GB. If you plan to keep movies, photos, or large apps on the tablet, the 256GB group is the safer pick; the 128GB Pad 8 Ai trades capacity for the highest battery capacity among the 144Hz models.
Battery capacity is not a tested battery life
The listings give battery capacity in mAh: 9000 on the Redmi Pad 2, 9200 on the Pad 8 Ai, 8850 on the Pad 7 Ai, and 12000 on both 12.1-inch models. Capacity is a starting point, not a measured run time. Actual hours depend on brightness, refresh rate, apps, and network use. This guide does not estimate battery life because no tested figure is in the pool.
Connectivity details are not equal
The Poco Pad M1 is the only pick with Wi-Fi 6 stated in its listing. The Pad 7 Ai states Bluetooth 5.4, and the Redmi Pad 2 states Bluetooth 5.3. Pad 8 Ai's Bluetooth and Wi-Fi versions are not stated, and the Redmi Pad 2 Pro lists only Bluetooth Wi-Fi without versions. If a specific wireless standard matters to you, check the current listing before ordering.
What the seller did not say
None of the five entries in the pool states a processor model, RAM, weight, or exact Android version. The names all say Only WiFi or No Calls or Text, so treat them as WiFi-only unless the current listing says otherwise. This guide leaves those blanks as not stated by the seller rather than filling them with guesses.
Questions
Which Xiaomi tablet in this guide has the most storage?
Four of the five picks list 256GB: the Redmi Pad 2, Redmi Pad 2 Pro, Pad 7 Ai, and Poco Pad M1. The Pad 8 Ai lists 128GB. If storage is your first concern, choose one of the 256GB models. The most storage in the pool is therefore the 256GB group, not a single tablet.
Do any of these Xiaomi tablets have a 144Hz display?
Two picks state a 144Hz refresh rate: the Pad 7 Ai and Pad 8 Ai. Both list an 11.2-inch 3.2K display. The other three picks state 2.5K resolution but no refresh rate, so if high refresh is essential, you should limit your search to those two Ai models.
Can I make calls with these tablets?
The catalog names describe WiFi-only models with No Calls or Text in the product names. That means the seller is not advertising cellular calling or texting on these units. None of the five picks is positioned as a cellular tablet, so treat them as WiFi-only unless the current listing says otherwise.
Do these tablets run Android?
Xiaomi tablets are generally Android devices, and the listing names mention Global ROM, which suggests an international Android firmware build. The exact Android version is not stated in the pool for any of the five picks. The Android Open Source Project is the base for the operating system, but this guide does not confirm which version each unit ships with.
What should I know before giving one of these to a child?
The pool does not include parental control details. If a child under 13 will use the tablet, federal rules limit what websites and online services can collect from the child. The FTC's Children's Privacy page explains those protections. Set up the account and apps with those protections in mind, and review the permissions each app asks for.
