Redmi Pad 2 India Launch Teased with Stylus and 4G Support

The Redmi Pad 2 is officially confirmed to launch in India soon, marking the brand’s latest budget-friendly tablet and a successor to the original Redmi Pad that debuted in 2022. One of the major upgrades this time is support for a stylus pen, which was absent in the previous version.

There is no word on the India launch date, but the Redmi Pad 2 is expected to release here sometime this month. A dedicated event page has already gone live on Xiaomi’s official website, indicating that the tablet will be sold through Amazon and Flipkart as well.

Redmi Pad 2 Launch in India Teased: Stylus Support, 11-inch Display, 4G LTE, and Price Under ₹20,000

The teaser silhouette on the site indicates a large screen with slim black borders and rounded corners. The solid battery life, colorful display, and portability are the talking points for Xiaomi. “No Wi-Fi, no worries,” the tag line says, hinting that the tablet will feature 4G, or even 5G, connectivity.

A teaser from Xiaomi’s global handle on X also reveals the design of the tablet, which indeed supports 4G LTE and stylus input with a clickable button. In terms of design, the Redmi Pad 2 comes with a rear camera that is housed in an oval module with ‘AI Camera | 8MP f/2.0’ embossed on it.

At the bottom, you’ll find speaker vents, a USB Type-C port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack, while the top edge is home to another set of speakers and a power button. It has been seen in grey and blue shades. Some European retail listings shed light on the specifications. The tablet will likely feature an 11-inch 2.5K display with a 90Hz refresh rate, which is slightly larger and smoother than the 10.6-inch 2K screen on its predecessor.

It’s expected to run on the MediaTek Helio G100-Ultra 4G chipset—a step up from the Helio G99—with a 2.2GHz peak clock speed and built on a 6nm process for better efficiency and gaming performance. The Redmi Pad 2 could launch in 4GB + 128GB and 8GB + 256GB variants. It is expected to house a large 9,000mAh battery with support for 18W fast charging. Camera duties are handled by an 8MP rear sensor and a 5MP front shooter.

Pricing in Europe shows the 4GB/128GB variant listed at EUR 199 (about ₹19,400), and the 8GB/256GB with 4G at EUR 299 (around ₹29,200). However, it’s unclear if these exact versions will launch in India. Considering the original Redmi Pad launched at ₹14,999 and the Redmi Pad SE starts at ₹11,999, there’s a good chance the Redmi Pad 2 will be priced competitively, likely under ₹20,000.
