Xiaomi Redmi Pad SE 8.7 Grey deals

The Redmi Pad SE 8.7 is a small tablet built for one job: cheap, comfortable one-handed reading, streaming and browsing. At 8.7 inches and 370g it is closer to a large phone than a laptop replacement, which makes it easy to hold on a commute or hand to a child in the back of the car. The 1340 x 800 IPS panel is not sharp by tablet standards, but it runs at 90Hz so scrolling feels smoother than the price suggests, and Gorilla Glass 3 plus TUV Rheinland low blue light certification cover durability and long reading sessions. The 6,650mAh battery is the real draw, easily lasting several days of light use, and 18W charging tops it up without an overnight wait. MediaTek's Helio G85 handles video, web and casual games but will feel slow if you push multitasking or heavy 3D titles, and 4GB of RAM in the base model limits how many apps stay open. Stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos and microSD expansion round out a sensibly specified budget slate.
