Poco Pad X1 unboxing – GSMArena.com news | Infinium-tech

Poco unveiled two new tablets today, and the Poco Pad X1 is the more premium one. You can say that this is an affordable version of the iPad Pro 11. You could also say, this is a rebadged Xiaomi Pad 7, and you would be 100% right.

This is a tablet that is well above its pay grade. It comes in a single 8/256GB configuration priced at $399. Along with this, you will get a USB-C to USB-A cable and a 45W charger in the box.

This is where the tablet becomes a real value proposition. Because it shares a base with the Xiaomi Pad 7, you can accessorize it in a few ways. Poco sells a $99 Focus Pen, as well as this Smart Cover, which magnetically snaps onto the tablet and has some origami-style ways of folding into a kickstand.

For an extra $199 (half the price of the tablet, granted), you can add the floating keyboard. It has a full set of keys, as well as a clickable trackpad, and can hold the tablet at a 120-degree angle for a laptop-like experience.

Because the keyboard matches the size of an 11-inch tablet, its QWERTY feels a bit crowded, and its trackpad isn’t the most useful size. But after a few days of usage, it becomes very comfortable for typing sessions. Add a USB 3.2 Gen 1 port for data transfer and external drive storage support, and you can do some work on this thing!

Poco Pad X1 looks better than its price. The 11.2-inch 3200x2136px 144Hz IPS LCD delivers excellent image quality. The tablet is well equipped to meet your multimedia needs thanks to the quad speaker setup.

Inside is a Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 SoC coupled with 8GB of RAM. Swiping through the interface and jumping through Chrome tabs is zippy and stutter-free.

Then there’s the 8,850mAh battery, which Poco says will deliver over 11 hours of video streaming on a single charge! If you want to know how well the Pad X1 performs in real life then check out our detailed review on the Xiaomi Pad 7.
