POCO Pad M1 May Launch as Rebranded Redmi Pad 2 Pro

Poco is preparing to launch the budget tablet POCO Pad M1, reportedly a rebranded Redmi Pad 2 Pro. Additionally, it has received multiple certifications from databases such as Google Play Console and FCC. Most recently, it was certified by the TDRA in the UAE in October, with the model number (2509ARPBDG), indicating that the device supports only Wi-Fi connectivity and compatible accessories like the Pad M1 Keyboard and the Focus Pen.

Multiple rendered images from YTECHB are very similar to the Redmi Pad 2 Pro, featuring a dual-camera setup with what is reportedly an 8MP main camera alongside an LED flash below.

A full list of key specifications and the possible price of the Poco Pad M1 have also been shared by a user on X.com, @Sudhanshu1414. According to the tipster, the device will come with a Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 processor, LPDDR4X RAM, UFS 2.2 storage, and a microSD card slot.

The display may feature a 12.1-inch LCD with a 2560 x 1600 resolution and boast up to a 120Hz refresh rate. The tablet will run on HyperOS 2 based on Android 15 and be powered by a massive 12,000mAh battery with 33W fast charging and support for 27W reverse charging.

It will also include an IP54 rating for water and dust resistance, support Wi-Fi 6, and feature quad speakers. The device reportedly measures 279.8 x 181.65 x 7.5 mm and weighs 610g. The tipster mentioned a possible suggested retail price of EUR 349 for the 8GB/256GB storage variant.

The brand has yet to announce an official launch date or tease the device on its social media channels or official website; as such, it is not currently listed. However, the multiple certifications, rendered images, and reliable sources suggest that a launch may be coming sooner rather than later. Stay tuned for more updates.
