Xiaomi’s Budget Tablet Bombshell: Redmi Pad SE 8.7 Specs Leaked Ahead of Launch
In a world where tech leaks are as common as cat videos, Xiaomi's upcoming budget tablet, the Redmi Pad SE 8.7, has joined the party. Thanks to renowned tipster Sudhanshu Ambhore, we've got a sneak peek at what this pocket-friendly slate has in store for us. Let's dive into the juicy details!
A Peek Under the Hood
The Redmi Pad SE 8.7 isn't just a pretty face. It's packing some serious muscle under its sleek exterior:
- Brain Power: The tablet's heart is the MediaTek Helio G99 chipset. This 6nm powerhouse promises to keep things running smoothly, whether you're browsing, gaming, or binge-watching your favorite shows.
- Memory Lane: With 4GB of RAM and storage options of 64GB or 128GB, you'll have plenty of room for all your digital goodies. And if that's not enough, the rumored microSD support (up to 2TB) means you can hoard data to your heart's content.
- Eye Candy: The 8.7-inch LCD display boasts a resolution of 1340 x 800 pixels. While it might not win any pixel density awards, it should be more than adequate for most users.

Snap Happy?
Let's face it, tablets aren't exactly known for their photography prowess. The Redmi Pad SE 8.7 keeps things simple with an 8MP rear camera and a 5MP selfie shooter. It won't replace your DSLR, but it'll do just fine for the occasional video call or quick snap.
Power Up!
Keeping the lights on is a hefty 6650mAh battery. While we don't have official figures on battery life, this should be enough to keep you entertained through a long flight or a lazy weekend.
Bells and Whistles
Some other noteworthy features include:
- Dolby Atmos support for an immersive audio experience
- Bluetooth 5.3 for seamless connectivity
- USB-C port (because it's 2024, and we're done with outdated ports)
- HyperOS is based on Android 14, bringing the latest software goodies to the table.
The Look
The leaked renders show a sleek device with a circular camera module on the back. Color options are rumored to include grey, green, and sky blue. However, the bezels around the display are on the thicker side, reminding us that this is indeed a budget offering.
When Can We Get Our Hands on It?
Mark your calendars for July 29th, folks! That's when Xiaomi is expected to officially unveil the Redmi Pad SE 8.7 in India. Pricing details are still under wraps, but given Xiaomi's track record, we're expecting it to be wallet-friendly.
While these leaks have certainly whetted our appetite, it's worth remembering that they're still unofficial. As with all leaks, take them with a grain of salt until Xiaomi drops the official word.
