Aluminium unibody with IP52, light for its size

Each part is rated on one scale for every tablet, from reviewers' measurements (battery tests, brightness, benchmarks) where they exist, what reviewers found, specs and owner reports, including after-sales service. It rates the tablet itself, not how good it is for the price.

Pros

  • Accurate colours and wide viewing angles
  • Loud four speakers that stay clean at high volume
  • Light for its size
  • Simple software with handy floating windows
  • 5G at a fair price
  • Sharp, smooth 12-inch screen with Dolby Vision
  • Rich Dolby Atmos sound with good stereo spread

Cons

  • Measured only about 450 nits, so weak outdoors
  • Slow charging
  • Middling cameras
  • Back collects smudges
  • Only about 12 hours in their video loop test
  • Dim outdoors
  • Some lag when multitasking
  • MySmartPriceSep 2024

    An easy pick for anyone who wants a big 5G tablet without spending more than Rs 25,000.

  • A good tablet that is basically a Redmi Pad Pro 5G, but it lasted far less in their video test, so the small saving is a trade-off.

  • CashifyAug 2024

    Strong budget media tablet, held back by battery drain and some frame drops on their unit.

  • GizmochinaAug 2024

    A solid first POCO tablet with a sturdy build, good screen and speakers and two-day battery, let down by no fingerprint reader and basic cameras.
