The device stands out with an 11-inch high-resolution display, long-lasting battery life, and is the first tablet in the country to arrive with Google's Circle to Search functionality pre-installed.

Specifications and features

The Redmi Pad 2 sports an 11-inch 2.5K (2,560x1,600 pixels) LCD panel, offering a 90Hz refresh rate and peak brightness of up to 600 nits.

A key highlight is native support for Circle to Search, allowing users to search anything on-screen with a simple gesture—making Redmi Pad 2 the first tablet in India to offer this feature out-of-the-box.

The tablet houses an 8MP rear camera and a 5MP front-facing lens, suitable for video calls and casual photography. Audio performance is enhanced by a quad-speaker setup tuned with Dolby Atmos, ensuring immersive sound quality.
