Tablet entry kok BAGUS?
The Redmi Pad 2 is priced at Rp 1,999,000, positioning it in the entry-level category, yet it boasts impressive specifications. It features an 11-inch screen with a sharp 2.5K resolution, a large 9000 mAh battery, and a Helio G100 Ultra processor, commonly found in 2 million range phones. The inclusion of UFS storage and four speakers with Dolby Atmos support indicates an elevated standard for affordable tablets.
Dulu cuma segini aja
The entry-level tablet market has seen significant advancements in the past one to two years. Previously, tablets like the Redmi Pad SE, priced at Rp 2 million, were considered satisfactory with Snapdragon 680 processors, eMMC storage, Full HD screens, and 8000 mAh batteries. The Redmi Pad 2, however, offers enhanced specifications at the same price point, marking a notable leap in quality. Its display, in particular, feels more premium, providing a better visual experience for users seeking an affordable yet high-quality tablet.
Display: bagian terkuat Redmi Pad 2
The Redmi Pad 2 features a large 11-inch screen with a high resolution of 2560x1600 pixels, or 2.5K, making it a standout feature. Unlike many budget tablets that offer large screens without adequate resolution, the Redmi Pad 2 delivers detailed and crisp 2K video playback. This is beneficial for reading e-books, documents, and social media content, where text and images appear sharper.
Multitasking is also enhanced with the ability to use split screen or floating windows, which remain clear due to the high resolution. Additionally, the Redmi Pad 2 can serve as an extra monitor for computers, adding versatility to its daily use. These features make it an attractive option for those seeking a tablet with superior screen performance and quality in an affordable price range.

The Redmi Pad 2 offers mirroring and extend modes, allowing users to connect the tablet to a computer. On Windows, the touchscreen can be used for direct input, which is useful for drawing or note-taking with a stylus. However, macOS users are limited to extend or mirroring modes, which are still good but not as impressive as the Windows functionality.
The large, high-resolution screen enhances the tablet's functionality. While the screen's brightness reaches 325 nits, which is adequate for indoor use, it is less effective outdoors in direct sunlight. The color gamut is 85% sRGB, making it less ideal for video or photo editing due to potential color inaccuracies. Despite these limitations, the tablet provides a satisfying experience for everyday use and media consumption.
Jangan disuruh kerja keras
The Redmi Pad 2 is not well-suited for demanding tasks like complex editing. While the Mediatek Helio G100 Ultra chipset and 128GB UFS 2.2 storage provide decent performance for basic tasks, the tablet struggles with more intensive applications. The faster loading times from the UFS 2.2 technology are a plus, and storage can be expanded up to 2TB via microSD, though the tablet only supports WiFi and lacks SIM card functionality.
The combination of chipset and storage is comparable to mid-range smartphones in the same price range. It handles light gaming, such as Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and Stumble Guys, at over 50 FPS. However, more demanding games like Honkai Star Rail, while suitable for tablet gameplay, suffer from lag and potential app closures due to the limited 4GB of RAM, which restricts multitasking capabilities.
"Kelemahan" Redmi Pad 2
The Indonesian version of the Redmi Pad 2 is only available with 4GB of RAM, which is considered insufficient for handling multiple processes simultaneously. This limited RAM capacity causes delays when switching between or opening new applications, requiring users to wait one to two seconds for the tablet to allocate the necessary space. While already open applications run smoothly, this limitation is a concern, especially when compared to other tablets in the same price range that also offer 4GB of RAM.
Despite this, users should manage their expectations given the price point. Many tablets in the 2 million price range have similar specifications. However, if the Redmi Pad 2 were to offer variants with 6GB or 8GB of RAM, its performance would likely be significantly improved, making it more responsive for running heavy applications or multitasking.
Audio visual NTABS
By spending an additional 200-300 thousand, users could potentially get a better variant with 6GB or 8GB of RAM, which is expected to significantly improve the tablet's performance. While the 4GB variant is adequate for casual tasks, the visual quality of the screen and the quad-speaker audio are very satisfying. The speakers produce loud, full sound with wide staging, making it ideal for listening to music and watching videos. It is important to enable the Dolby Atmos feature to maximize the audio experience, as it enhances the depth and richness of the sound.
Moving on to battery life, the Redmi Pad 2 is equipped with a 9000 mAh battery, which is quite large for a tablet. This capacity allows for extended use without frequent charging, making it a good choice for users who need a device for daily activities without worrying about running out of power.
Baterai 9.000mAh
The good battery life makes the tablet very convenient to use, especially for watching YouTube videos. In testing, one hour of use with Wi-Fi consumed only about 5% of the battery. Charging speed is also satisfactory; the included charger has a power of 15 Watts, but the tablet can actually support charging up to 18 Watts. When using an 18 Watt charger, a full charge takes about 2.5 hours, while a 15 Watt charger may take an additional half hour.
Additionally, the 5MP front camera is adequate for video calls and selfies, although it is not the best in its class. The image quality produced is clear enough for remote communication purposes. With all these features, the Redmi Pad 2 offers an attractive combination of performance, durability, and quality, making it a solid choice in the affordable tablet segment.
Kamera pun bagus lho!
The front camera's position in the center when the tablet is used in landscape mode is ideal for video calls, similar to using a laptop. The front camera is capable of recording video with a maximum resolution of 1080p at 30 fps, providing good enough quality for communication purposes. The microphone quality is also adequate, capturing sound clearly. The presence of the front camera in the right position means users no longer need to look to the side when conducting meetings or video calls, increasing comfort when interacting.
Meanwhile, the rear camera also shows good performance for a tablet standard. The photos taken are quite satisfactory, with clear objects, visible details, and accurate colors, making it suitable for everyday documentation. With all these features, the Redmi Pad 2 further demonstrates that it is a competitive choice in the affordable tablet market.
Bug
However, there are some shortcomings to note, especially regarding the auto-brightness system installed on the Redmi Pad 2. This feature does not work well, where the screen does not automatically adjust brightness when ambient light conditions change. Users must turn the feature off and on again for it to function properly. This is clearly a bug that is expected to be fixed through software updates, which are promised to receive support for two years and security patches for the next three years. With this update support, it is hoped that issues like this can be resolved quickly, improving the overall user experience.
Soal aksesoris...
Users also hope that Xiaomi Indonesia will soon present a cover for the Redmi Pad 2, as is available in the global market. Currently, only the Redmi Smart Pen stylus is offered, with a bundling promo for tablet purchases. Although the promo is attractive to students, the author feels that a case is more important to protect the tablet from scratches and keep the metal body smooth. The case will also make it easier for users to erect the tablet when watching, compared to having to use an impractical design or buying a special stand. The author notes that until the video was made, there were no sellers offering covers for the Redmi Pad 2, which made him feel that something was missing. If Xiaomi does not respond to this request, opportunities for accessory sellers to offer products of varying quality will open up, although this could be more complicated for users.
Kesimpulan Redmi Pad 2
Despite some things to consider before buying the Redmi Pad 2, such as 4GB of RAM, difficulty in finding a case, small bugs, and connection limitations that only support Wi-Fi, this tablet still offers excellent value for the price of 2 million. With a large and sharp screen and a combination of quality speakers, this tablet can function as an additional screen for a computer and also as an input. The large battery life and adequate camera quality make it exceed the entry-level tablet market standards. This tablet is highly recommended for those looking for a device for watching, reading, playing, working, learning, taking notes, or doing homework, where the experience will be more satisfying with a wider screen. Emphasis on price is again the focus, where if users want higher specifications, they may need to consider tablets in the 3 million to 4 million price range.
