Redmi K Pad disassembled and reviewed ahead of launch
Xiaomi is preparing to launch two 'Redmi K' flagships in China – the Redmi K80 Ultra and the Redmi K Pad. The company is trickling out official details for both, but we already saw WekiHome disassemble and review the smartphone. Now they have done the same with the mini tablet. The Redmi K Pad will have an 8.8' IPS LCD, which supports Dolby Vision, judging by the label on the side (and Dolby Atmos for the speakers). The screen has 3,008 x 1,880px resolution (16:10), 165Hz refresh rate and DC dimming. When tested, the display achieved a brightness of 566 nits and was able to go up to 610 nits in high brightness mode. Redmi K Pad: 8.8' 165Hz IPS LCD with Dolby Vision The tablet has a unibody metal design with a sandblasted finish. It tips the scales at 336g and measures 6.46mm thick – this tablet is all about performance in a highly portable form factor. The Redmi K Pad weighs 336g and is 6.46mm thick Speaking of, the tablet is powered by the Dimensity 9400+, plus LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage. In testing, the chipset showed impressive performance and cooling proved better than on many tablets, even ones larger than the K Pad. Xiaomi used a large 12,050mm² vapor chamber to wick heat away from the chipset and dump it into the metal frame. Interestingly, the vapor chamber is made of an aluminum alloy instead of the traditional copper to save weight. There's some foam padding that will cushion the internals in case of a fall.

The battery is split into two cells on either side and there are also speakers (with Atmos) next to each cell. The two battery cells have a combined capacity of 7,500mAh – one is 3,505mAh (13.78Wh) and the other is a bit bigger at 3,995mAh (15.71Wh). A 67W charger is included in the box, though the tablet only pulled 55W at maximum and needed 61 minutes for a 1% to 100% charge. Bypass charging is supported. Redmi K Pad's internals The USB-C port is located on the motherboard and is wired for USB 3.2 Gen 1 speeds (5Gbps). It supports DisplayPort. There are two cameras on board the tablet – a 13MP module on the back (OV13B 1/3.06') and an 8MP one on the front (OV08F, 1/4'). There is no fingerprint reader on board.

Redmi's first-ever flagship tablet looks a lot like an iPad Mini, but the price is questionable
Redmi K Pad directly competes with the iPad Mini | Image credit: Redmi Redmi is gearing up for the launch of its first flagship tablet, the K Pad. The tablet will be officially introduced in China on June 18, but Redmi decided to show what the tablet looks like to hype up its upcoming announcement. Unsurprisingly, the K Pad strongly resembles the iPad Mini, but that's on purpose, as the tablet is meant to compete with the mini version of Apple's tablet. Besides showing the tablet's overall design, Redmi also confirmed the K Pad will be equipped with MediaTek's powerful Dimensity 9400+ chipset, a consistent upgrade over the company's previous tablet, Redmi Pad Pro, which uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2. But differences between the upcoming K Pad and Redmi Pad Pro don't stop here. The flagship tablet has been confirmed to feature a much smaller 8.8-inch LCD display, whereas the Pad Pro has a big 12.1-inch screen. However, thanks to the smaller display, the K Pad is more compact, so it's also more portable, at least according to Xiaomi's Lu Weibing. Beyond that, Redmi's Thomas Wang said on Weibo that the K Pad will use an LCD panel with ultra-high resolution, dual-driver ICs for synchronization of data, brightness, and color. Redmi K Pad | Images credits: Redmi via Weibo Sadly, neither of the two execs went into specifics, so the only other information we have about K Pad's specs comes from previous reports. We expect Redmi's flagship tablet to boast an 8.8-inch LCD display with 3K resolution, 16:10 aspect ratio, and 165Hz refresh the tablet's battery will support 67W wired charging speeds, which is very good for such a small tablet. Although Redmi hasn't yet revealed any information about prices, the K Pad is rumored to cost around 4,000 yuan ($555 / €480), not a bad price considering its key specs. In comparison, the cheapest iPad Mini is available for $500 and comes with 8GB RAM, 128GB internal storage, but no cellular support. It remains to be seen how much the K Pad will cost outside of China, but chances are that it won't be much cheaper than the iPad Mini.
