When we talk about value-for-money tech in India, Xiaomi has always been at the forefront — and its tablets are no different. After making waves in the smartphone and smart TV markets, Xiaomi re-entered the tablet segment with a clear vision: to deliver premium experiences at mid-range prices.
In 2025, Xiaomi’s Redmi and Pad series tablets have become top choices for Indian consumers looking for powerful specs, smooth software, and immersive displays without spending a fortune.
Let’s dive into Xiaomi’s journey in the Indian tablet market, its best-selling models, and why it’s quickly becoming a favorite in the budget and mid-range Android tablet space.
Xiaomi had dabbled in tablets globally before, but it wasn’t until 2022 that it made a strong comeback in India with the Xiaomi Pad 5. With its 11-inch 2.5K display, Snapdragon 860 chip, 120Hz refresh rate, and stylus support — all priced under ₹30,000 — the device was an instant hit.
Following its success, Xiaomi launched several models under Xiaomi Pad and Redmi Pad branding, with tablets now starting at just ₹11,999 in India.
Xiaomi tablets are best known for their incredible displays:
Up to 2.8K resolution
120Hz refresh rate on Xiaomi Pad 6
Dolby Vision and Widevine L1 support
Ultra-slim bezels with a productivity-focused 16:10 aspect ratio
This makes them ideal for watching Netflix, YouTube, gaming, or creative work.
Xiaomi delivers flagship performance with powerful chipsets in its tablets:
Snapdragon 860, 870 in Pad 5 & Pad 6
MediaTek Helio G99 in Redmi Pad series
LPDDR4X/LPDDR5 RAM with UFS 3.1 storage
Combined with MIUI for Pad, Xiaomi tablets handle everything from gaming to multitasking, online classes, and productivity apps with ease.
Xiaomi tablets run MIUI for Pad, an Android-based interface customized for large screens. Features include:
Split-screen multitasking
Floating windows
Drag-and-drop file support
Custom dock and widgets
In 2025, most Xiaomi tablets ship with Android 13/14, and updates are promised for new models like the Pad 6 and upcoming Pad 7.
Xiaomi ensures all-day usability with large batteries and fast charging:
8000mAh+ battery on most models
18W to 33W fast charging
USB-C support for fast data transfer and charging
Perfect for students, professionals, or travelers needing reliable backup.
The Xiaomi Pad 5 and Pad 6 support Xiaomi Smart Pen and Keyboard accessory, transforming the tablet into a budget-friendly productivity machine — especially for note-taking, sketching, or online meetings.
Xiaomi Pad 6 – Flagship-grade experience with Snapdragon 870, 144Hz 2.8K display, Dolby Vision + Atmos, stylus and keyboard support. Ideal for professionals and students.
Redmi Pad SE – Affordable entertainment tablet under ₹13K, 11” FHD+ display, Helio G99, quad speakers.

Xiaomi tablets are designed for:
Students and online learners who need a fast, reliable device under ₹15K–₹25K
Entertainment lovers who want Dolby-supported video and immersive audio
Casual gamers and artists who need responsive displays and stylus input
Professionals and writers looking for a secondary device for meetings, notes, and typing
At a time when iPads are priced steep and Samsung’s S-series remains premium, Xiaomi provides an Android tablet experience that feels flagship — without flagship pricing.
In 2025 and beyond, Xiaomi is expected to:
Launch the Xiaomi Pad 7 with AI features and Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip
Introduce AMOLED panels with in-screen fingerprint sensors
Enhance Xiaomi Smart Pen with gesture controls and magnetic charging
Expand its Redmi Pad lineup under ₹10,000 for students and schools

With prices starting from just ₹11,999, Xiaomi tablets are redefining the budget tablet market in India. Whether you’re a student attending Zoom lectures, a digital creator sketching with a stylus, or a binge-watcher hooked to K-Dramas, there’s a Xiaomi tablet that fits your need and your budget.
