Xiaomi’s next-generation Android tablet, the Redmi Pad 2, has made a significant appearance on Geekbench, just ahead of its official India launch scheduled for June 18. From the listing, which is almost a proof of authenticity, one very important thing is very clear about the global version of the phone with model number “2505DRP06G” – that it will be powered by MediaTek‘s new Helio G100 Ultra SoC, which is a budget gaming-focused chip that promises enhanced efficiency and AI capabilities.

Redmi Pad 2 4G (2505DRP06G) Spotted on Geekbench with Helio G100 Ultra SoC Ahead of June 18 India Launch
The Geekbench benchmark entry of the Redmi Pad 2 4G reveals the use of MediaTek Helio G100 Ultra, a mid-range octa-core processor that is rumored to bring better thermal management and enhanced performance over previous generations. The tablet scored 711 in single-core and 1,970 in multi-core tests, indicating solid performance in its segment. The tested model had 6GB RAM and the Android 15-powered HyperOS 2.0 and will likely be the software foundation for its global Indian variants.
Redmi has officially confirmed that the Redmi Pad 2 will launch in India on June 18, with teasers already live on Amazon, Flipkart, and Xiaomi’s own website. While the promotional poster confirms Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity, the network bands (4G or 5G) that the Indian variant will support aren’t known yet. The Indian variant is tipped to come with stylus support and AI features such as Google’s Circle to Search.
The global 4G edition of the Redmi Pad 2 features a bigger display of 11 inches, 2.5K with a 90Hz refresh rate, a clear improvement over the first-gen Redmi Pad. The display enhancements, paired with a quad-speaker setup featuring Dolby Atmos, make it an attractive choice for multimedia consumption. The Indian variant appears to retain the same design, featuring a dual-tone metal unibody finish, seen in Graphite Grey and Mint Green colours.
One of the standout upgrades is the massive 9,000mAh battery, which is claimed to deliver up to 19 hours of video playback. Coupled with the Helio G100 Ultra and enhanced thermal management, users can expect better endurance and performance for extended use, including gaming and multitasking. With listings now live on Amazon and Flipkart, the Redmi Pad 2 will be available via all major online retailers and Xiaomi’s own store. While official pricing is yet to be revealed, expectations suggest it will be competitively priced in the mid-range segment, likely under ₹20,000.
