Redmi Pad comes with decent styling. The tab has a metal body and an aluminium frame build. The flat sides with sharp edges on the tab make it look even better.

There is no fingerprint sensor on the tab, but it supports facial recognition.

Redmi Pad weighs around 465 grams and measures only 7.10mm. It is available in mint green, moonlight silver and graphite grey colour options.

Adding style to the display is the uniform bezels, surrounding it. Furthermore, the display also supports a 90Hz refresh rate and has inbuilt eyecare protection for prolonged use without causing eye strain. The display has a typical brightness of 400 nits.

Redmi Pad comes with an 8,000mAh non-removable battery backup. This should power the device for a couple of days. It can be great for both personal and professional use. One can easily get hooked up on it throughout the day without worrying about battery life. When the power gets low, you can charge the device with an 18W fast charger.

The current model of Redmi Pad does not support any cellular connectivity. For other modes of connectivity, the tablet supports dual-band wifi and Bluetooth 5.2. The Bluetooth mode can be used for wireless pairing with other devices. A USB Type-C cable is used by the device for charging and wired pairing. There are four speakers on the device, which should provide an immersive audio experience for the users.
