POCO Pad C1 Official: New Budget Tablet with Snapdragon and 2K Display at 120 Hz

The Xiaomi satellite company has announced the new POCO Pad C1, an affordable tablet that we may know well. It is, in fact, a rebrand of Redmi Pad 2 9.7, a device announced in some markets last month. A device with solid specs (we’re talking about an economical solution), at a convenient price: but under which brand will it arrive in our region?

The POCO Pad C1 specifications closely mirror those of its Redmi twin; what’s changing is part of the aesthetics, with a different logo and colorways, along with a slim line that divides the back cover into two portions.

The tablet features a 9.7″ LCD display, with 2K resolution and a 120 Hz refresh rate. Under the hood beats a Qualcomm heart, with the Snapdragon 6s Gen 2. The battery is a 7,600 mAh unit with 18W charging, while the camera setup offers 8 MP and 5 MP sensors (rear and front, respectively).

As of now Xiaomi hasn’t confirmed the price of POCO Pad C1, but it’s likely to be around €200 or less. Lei Jun’s company has announced the two twin tablets POCO and Redmi globally; as of writing there is no Italy-specific announcement yet, so it’s still to be seen which of the two brands will arrive here (if it arrives).
