Finally, someone who understands how to use tablets.. Some reviewers are literally complaining about the camera quality and stuff.. Like bruh, who tf buys a 250$ tablet to shoot videos and pictures.. Great video !!
I just got this in the other day. 6gb + 128gb version. Got it for $230 from Amazon. Performance is VERY good with really great battery endurance. The speakers sound hella good. Very loud and crisp. Build quality is awesome. After I booted it up got two updates back to back. First was a security update patch. Second was an update to Android 13, a 3.7 gb patch. Updated without a hitch. But the screen. DAMN. The screen. Probably the deepest blacks I have ever seen on an LCD panel. Under the lights at my job the blacks looked blacker on this than on my Pixel 6. Resolution is good. Binge watched the second part of Manifest season 4 just this night and it was a great viewing experience, especially with the speakers. Only had it a couple of days but so far I am more than impressed. This is my first Redmi device and it blew my mind. I'll add an update after a couple weeks but super smooth sailing this far. Edited to add: After binge watching Manifest Season 4 part 2 I went from 100% to 40% after about 8 hours. Pretty impressive battery life.
I don't play that game. The only games I play on Android is Eternium, South Park Phone Destroyer and Legends of Runeterra. All of them run better on this tablet than on my Pixel 6. Hope that is helpful.
Do not get the 3GB version. If you have to eat ramen for a month to get the 4-6GB version, do it. These days 3GB is getting close to useless for many new games. Yes for basic web browsing and likely the built in apps 3GB will work fine. Just don't expect downloaded apps to support it much longer. 4GB realistically is the absolute minimum you should consider with 6GB+ being ideal.
I have an older xiaomi 8" tablet I wanted to upgrade so I had something easier to use on a plane (laptop is ok for longer flights but tablets are ideal). Strongly considered the xiami pad 5 due to stronger cpu, but I think the SD card slot makes this perfect for media consumption & light gaming. Going to get the emulator set up. Price in the link is good enough vs aliexpress that I'm fine paying the extra to get from amazon.
Tablets are just perfect, big enough screen yet super portable, perfect for entertainment while travelling or just laying in bed watching something or studying something
I bought huawei matepad from amazon like new con 4x speakers 2k rez 4gb ram like new £160 full price 260 it came in the box, I couldn't tell its not new.. I bought another soon after... test for fun and ran PS1 PS2 Dreamcast Snez Megadrive perfect
Great review but I was honestly expecting better price to performance by how excited you were. This is a good deal, I agree, but personally I would be waiting for a snapdragon 870 (or equivalent) for $299 if I was in the market. I bought the Lenovo Yoga tab with an 870 for $375 in March after your heads up on the community page so it shouldnt be too long before they get cheaper. I also prefer last gen midrange snapdragons over stronger mediateks because of the support and stability of a snapdragon.
The Xiaomi pad 5 has a snapdragon, it's around $350, but the SD card slot on this does it for me. For me, this is mostly media consumption on a plane. I'd like to have gotten both, but then it wouldn't be $250.
I bought this tablet recently, the 6GB/128 GB version. It is really good, my only complain is that the usb-c headphone adapter does not work when I plug the charging cable. I bought an adapter that has a DAC, it works when I plug the headphones, but if I plug the charging cable the audio stops. I tried on a Xiaomi phone and same problem. I tried in a couple samsung phones and it works without problem. So it must be an issue with MIUI.
Finally you reviewed the Redmi Pad. I was waiting for you on it. Great, now with full confidence I’m looking forward to purchase it in 2-3 months. My only concern was performance. The Redmi Pad cost like $400 in my country so it’s affordable.
I'm still using my Mi Pad 4 Plus, and when it's time to replace it I'll probably go with another Xiaomi tbh. Great value for money, and great battery life!
This is a nice tablet... if I didn't have a "Good" Tablet (Galaxy Tab S6), I'd look into this as a budget need for a good tablet that can game and do the things I need to do. While 250+ isn't "Budget" enough for some, its definitely budget enough since MANY "Good" Tablets range at around 500+ and more.
I'm getting one this week! Very excited. I'm getting the 128/6gb model as there isn't much price difference between that and the 4gb one. It's abt 250 euros here. (4gb one is only 15 euros less, kind of a no brainer to not get the 6gb if you can get the 4 tbh.)

Mayan redmi pad is running on hyperos and I found a bug there The bug is if you set the display size to minimum couple of icons do not show properly... I hope in next update xioami will fix this.. This is absolutely a beast device
glad to see you review this I got it free when it released with the 12T Pro which I got for £130 off and sold that on and only paid £60 for the tablet but then stuff happened and I sort of got it free. I've not opened it yet waiting for Christmas to open it up.
All low settings with medium shadow and lowest detail on Genshin Impact looks best with acceptable performance. You should test it out especially on this SoC.
Maybe it is not the real highend, but I would not call a ~$250 tablet 'budget'. As something really budget, I recently got Fire HD10 for €80 on Black Friday, which is now again down to €85 from the usual €150. And that €150 price is what I would consider the price limit for a budget device. Above that should be called midrange.
@TabbehEXE ♡ I live in a world, where budget means you get all or most of possible functionality, without paying extra for non-essential things like bling, brand, or excessive performance/features. That is why it is called `budget`.
Looks great, interesting if you are looking for something brand new... but when it comes to budget tablets, I'd always advise going for an older flagship that is either heavily discounted or used... The difference in performance tied to how much prices tend to fall usually doesn't warrant a new model purchase if you are going for budget. Likely why there aren't many new mid-range models in the market... xD For instance, a Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 might be too expensive, but if you go down the number a bit... say S6 or S7, you are bound to find good prices. Would be even better if they didn't cripple the FE edition so much, I miss what Samsung did for the S5e... I think this might not bother others too much, but for me personally, the lack of a fingerprint reader and stuff like a desktop mode kinda kills it. These features are too useful for me to dismiss. xD Performance is looking great, not sure what kinda magic Xiaomi pulled there, but in raw specs you are bound to find something better if you go for older flagship models of big brands... as far as I could find, MediaTek G99 is supposed to be somewhere bellow even Snapdragon 845, just a bit better than Snapdragon 670... which the Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e had...
@@tomenza LG phones were great because they have low resale value. You could get the v60, although the 60hz may be a turnoff. I think maybe OnePlus 8/T/9 or an older Samsung are the next best thing, it depends on your budget
What would you recommend to go for instead of this then? Looking for a tablet that can be used for watching movies and editing videos from a go pro to post on social media.
Except it will be abandoned in like a year or so, and good luck with custom firmwares and bugs. Had a lot of these budget phones, tablets since I couldn't afford good stuff and always had hardware or software or even both (my mi pad 5 left screen corner suddenly became yellow, and it would close all background apps when I multitask) So since then I own Samsung devices (S21 and Tab S8) and honestly I am very very happy that I decided to switch and spend more, but actually get good SW support and quality HW. If you are really on a tight budget, there's nothing wrong to get one of these, but it's just my experience and I'm pretty sure I'd never buy one again.
What do you think about Alldocube iplay 50 mini pro? which have 8gb ram same helio g99 same g57 mc2 gpu... and price is lower you can find it for 140 dollars... only downgrade is size 8,4 inch and 60hz....
eta do you have any recommendations for a 7-8" tablet that has good performance. i find the fire tabs slow but i dont want to go with an ipad due to the locked down os.
Only thing missing is LTE. Would've been a great on the go media device. Still, it's a solid tablet overall. Would be great for anybody to get it, if you can get your hands on one.
Yeah. If you don't mind upping the price by about $100 dollars. You people are ridiculous. Expecting flagship experience at budget price. If you want LTE, go out and spend $500+ for it instead of complaining its not on a $220 tablet.
@@damianlee5438 why not pay more for extra features? Isn't that the point of upping the price? Only thing that makes tablets $500 are 5G and flagship chipset. Considering the G99 is 4G only, who said you couldn't be pay extra for a few more features? You live in a rock or or something?
I don't live under a rock. I just wonder how dense people are expecting/wanting these flagship features on a budget tablet. Do you pop onto Samsung Galaxy Tab 8 videos and start talking about all the corners they could cut to make it a budget version? That's basically what you're doing here. "I want more than a budget tablet!" Then go look at videos for flagship tablets. Wtf are you doing in a budget tablet review wanting flagship experience? It makes no damn sense!!!
@@damianlee5438 still live under a rock then. Never said I wanted a budget tablet. All I said was it's missing LTE. Maybe stop assuming what people said and start reading along the line. It'll help your reading comprehension better.
My reading comprehension is fine. Yours is severely lacking. Go look at premium devices if what you want is cellular connectivity. NO budget tablets are going to offer it. Because they are budget tablets
does this support display out with a dongle, if it does it seems to be a great tablet to pair with the wm2 for productivity or as a video receiver by using software like deskreen
The review mentions the display as having a 2k resolution, but it really is just stretched 1080p (2000x1200p vs std full hd which is 1920x1080p) 2k is 1440p which this displa is not.
Thanks for the info! I do have a quick question tho. I was Depating on What Tablet i Should mostly use for gaming..I was wondering if you could Compare the Redmi and the DOOGEE T20 review together and Explain more into detail? I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
Hi can you help me? I want to buy a tablet for watching RUclips vlogs etc , kdrama, slight Facebook , Pinterest but mostly watching RUclips and bilibili... I'm thinking what I should buy Redmi Pad Or Samsung Galaxy A8 10.5 LTE???
Galaxy A8 has a tiger t618 CPU which is a popular chipset of chinese brands such as chuwi or teclast. I think it is a bit overpriced, you are just paying the brand for a below average tablet. Redmi Pad has a more powerful chipset and for the same price you are getting 4GB and 64GB of internal memory, while the samsung has 3GB and 32GB.
@@xeienar thank you☺️ I will buy Samsung Galaxy tab a8 because it has LTE if the Xiaomi pad 5 pro will realese here in Philippines I think I go for Xiaomi pad 5 pro☺️💜
I want to get a decent budget tablet for gaming. This seems like a good pic. Im concerned about the RAM. Is the 4gb one alright with habdling pretty much any mobile game, such as PUBG etc? Is it worth paying extra for the 2gn ectra RAM, or, is it worth saving the money/does the 4gb RAM work fine?
See, this is a budget tablet i can get behind... 90hz i can deal with... But after dealing with 120hz display phones and computers since 2018, i dont think i can ever go back to 60
Games like codm become heavy while in lobby with real players with real assets. The test you did, with bots, any phone from 2015 onwards can handle that lol
I would prefer good and light 8" one. There is no point for >10" tablets for people owning small >12" notebooks. It is heavy and bulky. On 8" screen you can still watch movies comfortably, much more comfortable than on 5-6" smartphone. And do some simple office work, that is on small smartphone very uncomfortable. And good small 8" you can put in back jeans pocket, if necessary.
Fantastic reviews, best of the bunch really. But please don't say 1x like (one 'ex'). The 'X' is of course a multiplication symbol for 'times' and not the letter 'X'
No actual pen, just generic stylus that works exactly like your finger (1 level sensitivity pressure). Custom ROM is always in the hand of the ROM porter/creator, this device allows bootloader unlocking, so the main key is there.
@@xeienar Redmi note 8 pro has some custom ROMs... There are other mediatek devices but what matters the most is how many people buy this thing Redmi note 8 pro selled a lot and was the best option for mobile gaming back then
Thnx man now i know it can support 1440p in youtube which is a must, But you forget to mention the material of the body is it plastic or aluminium? Does it have a tempered glass came with inside the box or ill just buy a tempered glass, pls. rply. Ill buy this tablet the only decent that i can afford.
I've had this tablet for a few days but the video quality for RUclips doesn't look good at all is there anything I'm doing wrong? Videos show up as 1080 60 fps but look choppy
This is the most comprehensive review I've seen for this tab. Thanks :) I own the 4gb+2gb Vram model and it annoys me how the third onwards app in the background force closes. That's not good enough for 4+2

For instance, a Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 might be too expensive, but if you go down the number a bit... say S6 or S7, you are bound to find good prices. Would be even better if they didn't cripple the FE edition so much, I miss what Samsung did for the S5e...
I think this might not bother others too much, but for me personally, the lack of a fingerprint reader and stuff like a desktop mode kinda kills it. These features are too useful for me to dismiss. xD
Performance is looking great, not sure what kinda magic Xiaomi pulled there, but in raw specs you are bound to find something better if you go for older flagship models of big brands... as far as I could find, MediaTek G99 is supposed to be somewhere bellow even Snapdragon 845, just a bit better than Snapdragon 670... which the Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e had...
I agree. Same with phones. It's better to get an older flagship than a new budget tier. The difference is just too much
Do you have a former flagship you can recommend at this time? I'm in the market
@@tomenza LG phones were great because they have low resale value. You could get the v60, although the 60hz may be a turnoff. I think maybe OnePlus 8/T/9 or an older Samsung are the next best thing, it depends on your budget
@@okene I really appreciate this, thank you :)
What would you recommend to go for instead of this then? Looking for a tablet that can be used for watching movies and editing videos from a go pro to post on social media.
Finally a review of Redmi pad from my favourite youtuber.... Hope you'll also be reviewing lenovo tab m10 plus (3rd gen)
What about display out/HDMI over USB-C? This is supported?
If so: it’s a nice emulator pad to connect to my tv.
Hello, thanks for your video. Wondering if there is a screen mirror option or can we connect this to an external display?
Smart view and type c to hdmi ect..
Amazing review, as always. Using one right now with 6GB RAM.
Also, amazing wallpaper. Got links for it?
Marlouwe Castaneda please can you tell me how much price of 6gb ram version
It's on Wallpaper Engine for Android
Except it will be abandoned in like a year or so, and good luck with custom firmwares and bugs.
Had a lot of these budget phones, tablets since I couldn't afford good stuff and always had hardware or software or even both (my mi pad 5 left screen corner suddenly became yellow, and it would close all background apps when I multitask)
So since then I own Samsung devices (S21 and Tab S8) and honestly I am very very happy that I decided to switch and spend more, but actually get good SW support and quality HW.
If you are really on a tight budget, there's nothing wrong to get one of these, but it's just my experience and I'm pretty sure I'd never buy one again.
What do you think about Alldocube iplay 50 mini pro? which have 8gb ram same helio g99 same g57 mc2 gpu... and price is lower you can find it for 140 dollars... only downgrade is size 8,4 inch and 60hz....
One day we won’t have to suffer watching genshin impact being used as benchmarks over and over and over again! God dam im so tired of that game.
Lol
And then they may start using Honkai Impact....... LOL
Now go for the old way of using Minecraft TNT and flying machines
I’m tired of my kids but I still watch them
They should test with alien isolation.
Does it support hdmi, type c to hdmi out for external display????
Boost the volume by turning on Dolby Atmos and set it to Vocals and adjust the EQ . If you don't do it the volume at max level may sound weak
Do those live backgrounds come with it or is that a wallpaper app?
What live wallpaper did u use around the 2 minute mark? looks dope
Got this a month ago. Watching your videos on it. Playing Diablo immortal on it. Maybe installing emulators soon.
Thats a cool wallpaper in the beginning from where did u intall it
I have the same tab
Where did you get your wallpaper? The moving cubes.
Amazing for the price
Better to get 6GB RAM models for extra resources
Amazing! Does it have pen support like s pen?
eta do you have any recommendations for a 7-8" tablet that has good performance. i find the fire tabs slow but i dont want to go with an ipad due to the locked down os.
Only thing missing is LTE. Would've been a great on the go media device. Still, it's a solid tablet overall. Would be great for anybody to get it, if you can get your hands on one.
Yeah. If you don't mind upping the price by about $100 dollars.
You people are ridiculous. Expecting flagship experience at budget price. If you want LTE, go out and spend $500+ for it instead of complaining its not on a $220 tablet.
@@damianlee5438 why not pay more for extra features? Isn't that the point of upping the price? Only thing that makes tablets $500 are 5G and flagship chipset. Considering the G99 is 4G only, who said you couldn't be pay extra for a few more features? You live in a rock or or something?
I don't live under a rock. I just wonder how dense people are expecting/wanting these flagship features on a budget tablet. Do you pop onto Samsung Galaxy Tab 8 videos and start talking about all the corners they could cut to make it a budget version?
That's basically what you're doing here. "I want more than a budget tablet!" Then go look at videos for flagship tablets. Wtf are you doing in a budget tablet review wanting flagship experience? It makes no damn sense!!!
@@damianlee5438 still live under a rock then. Never said I wanted a budget tablet. All I said was it's missing LTE. Maybe stop assuming what people said and start reading along the line. It'll help your reading comprehension better.
My reading comprehension is fine. Yours is severely lacking. Go look at premium devices if what you want is cellular connectivity. NO budget tablets are going to offer it. Because they are budget tablets
Hi there, may I know what live wallpaper apps were you using or set in the Redmi Pad? It looks cool and awesome! 👍🏼
I bought 3gb ram version last week it only supports one open app at a time which is bummer but i was on budget :/
does it offer additional Ram from the settings?
i dont usually say this but im highly impressed by your channel
Is there native hdmi output through the usb-c port or does it need a display link adapter?
Thanks, going to buy it this summer.
Nice video! Really like it! Sounds like you are crazy about it! What about Realme pad??
does this support display out with a dongle, if it does it seems to be a great tablet to pair with the wm2 for productivity or as a video receiver by using software like deskreen
Thank you ETA !! Can you show us the pencil usage? I’m a college student
The review mentions the display as having a 2k resolution, but it really is just stretched 1080p (2000x1200p vs std full hd which is 1920x1080p) 2k is 1440p which this displa is not.
Do you think it works well for playing via streaming? (Xbox Cloud, Nvidia Geforce now, Moonlight) I'm worried about that WIFI 5, sorry for my English
It supports 5 Ghz so I don't see a problem
Thanks for the info! I do have a quick question tho. I was Depating on What Tablet i Should mostly use for gaming..I was wondering if you could Compare the Redmi and the DOOGEE T20 review together and Explain more into detail? I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
How about compare to xiaoxin pad 2022 with SD680 soc
Which one is better budget tablet??
Looking for a budget tablet now
Hi can you help me? I want to buy a tablet for watching RUclips vlogs etc , kdrama, slight Facebook , Pinterest but mostly watching RUclips and bilibili... I'm thinking what I should buy Redmi Pad Or Samsung Galaxy A8 10.5 LTE???
A8 is your best bet
@@Tiger9194 is the screen of a8 and s6 lite is same???
@@jessicaverolavlog yes both screens are the same.
Galaxy A8 has a tiger t618 CPU which is a popular chipset of chinese brands such as chuwi or teclast. I think it is a bit overpriced, you are just paying the brand for a below average tablet. Redmi Pad has a more powerful chipset and for the same price you are getting 4GB and 64GB of internal memory, while the samsung has 3GB and 32GB.
@@xeienar thank you☺️ I will buy Samsung Galaxy tab a8 because it has LTE if the Xiaomi pad 5 pro will realese here in Philippines I think I go for Xiaomi pad 5 pro☺️💜
I want to get a decent budget tablet for gaming. This seems like a good pic. Im concerned about the RAM. Is the 4gb one alright with habdling pretty much any mobile game, such as PUBG etc? Is it worth paying extra for the 2gn ectra RAM, or, is it worth saving the money/does the 4gb RAM work fine?
Get the 6gb..
4gb makes zero sense in 2023
See, this is a budget tablet i can get behind... 90hz i can deal with... But after dealing with 120hz display phones and computers since 2018, i dont think i can ever go back to 60
I want a budget 7" or 8" tablet because phones are 20:9 and it irritates me to have those bars when playing
thanks and I got one for 200 bucks on amazon with 6gb model. I just hope its as good as this video tablet.
ETA what wallpaper app are you using?
Great video as always …will non-Xbox controller work with it ? some Xiaomi and Redmi phones are that way.
Where would I buy this in Canada? All the sites seem to be American and don’t have it on their Canadian site, like Amazon.
solid review, straight to the buy button
Thank you so much for this review!
Games like codm become heavy while in lobby with real players with real assets. The test you did, with bots, any phone from 2015 onwards can handle that lol
Hey, thoughts on this against the Xaiomi Pad 5?
What was the render distance in minecraft? Because on iPhone 12 you have only 13 chunks max which wasn't the case before.
I would prefer good and light 8" one. There is no point for >10" tablets for people owning small >12" notebooks. It is heavy and bulky. On 8" screen you can still watch movies comfortably, much more comfortable than on 5-6" smartphone. And do some simple office work, that is on small smartphone very uncomfortable.
And good small 8" you can put in back jeans pocket, if necessary.
Is there a stylus for this? I saw one for the redmi 5 but not for this unless it also works on this tablet too
The G99 is basically just MTK's 720g. I'd be interested to see this vs a Logitech Cloud
My only nitpick is the missing headphone jack. Otherwise, this is an all-around tablet for moderate use 🙌
Where do you get moving wallpapers?
How does this compare to the Lenovo P21 or whatever the chinese variant is?
You should test the nintendo switch emulator for these android devices.
In terms of heavy gaming does the 6gb ram make more sense or does the 4gb ram have no difference?
Always go for higher ram
alternative is huawei matepad 10.4 with kirin 820 better performance better display but without google access
Fantastic reviews, best of the bunch really. But please don't say 1x like (one 'ex'). The 'X' is of course a multiplication symbol for 'times' and not the letter 'X'
Does it support pen for drawing? Also, will it support custom ROMs?
Yes it does support pen and custom roms without root
Yes, you can also use a 3rd party stylus but it doesn't have palm rejection
@@emadkaleem7102 mediatek chipsets with custom roms? lmao no.
No actual pen, just generic stylus that works exactly like your finger (1 level sensitivity pressure). Custom ROM is always in the hand of the ROM porter/creator, this device allows bootloader unlocking, so the main key is there.
@@xeienar Redmi note 8 pro has some custom ROMs... There are other mediatek devices but what matters the most is how many people buy this thing
Redmi note 8 pro selled a lot and was the best option for mobile gaming back then
Very happy with Fire HD 10, 1/3 the price, great for me gaming on the treadmill. Anything heavier and I'll use the Steam Deck :)
and you have to hack it to get the play store
@@estusflask982 pretty easy, ETA has a tutorial.
Hello, can you try steam link or moonlight and Xbox game pass on that tablet and some telescopic joystick?
What app do you use for the Live Wallpapers?
Try "Walloop"
Thnx man now i know it can support 1440p in youtube which is a must, But you forget to mention the material of the body is it plastic or aluminium? Does it have a tempered glass came with inside the box or ill just buy a tempered glass, pls. rply. Ill buy this tablet the only decent that i can afford.
Alumunium build, no tempered glass included
I've had this tablet for a few days but the video quality for RUclips doesn't look good at all is there anything I'm doing wrong? Videos show up as 1080 60 fps but look choppy
My redmi pad can run 2k youtube without lag
How did u get live wallpaper??
Wallpaper engine dude
@@Ramuh101 thanks buddy
Any recommendations on best settings to use yuzu on this tablet???
It’d be awesome if you could make a video comparing REDMI and DOOGEE T20 ❤!
I wonder what etaprime thinks is the best 8 in tablet right now. I'm on the lookout to replace my headunit in my car with a tablet and amplifier.
Did u use the inbuilt miui overclocker?
Can you check if it is compatible with a stylus and a Bluetooth keyboard?
Waiting for that for a long time
Nice review, but man the wallpapers are very nice, anyone could tell me if they're on a specific app ? Thanks very much
i hope you can also review the new alldocube iplay 50 pro same spexcs with this one and much cheaper
This is the most comprehensive review I've seen for this tab. Thanks :)
I own the 4gb+2gb Vram model and it annoys me how the third onwards app in the background force closes. That's not good enough for 4+2
