POCO is set to unveil its next big tablet: the POCO Pad M1, which promises serious power and endurance at an affordable price. According to recent leaks, the device will hit the mid-range tablet market with a massive battery, a 120Hz display, and a modern Snapdragon chip.
Key Highlights
- It is expected to feature a 12.1-inch LCD with 2.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.
- Powered by Snapdragon 7s Gen4.
- A massive 12,000mAh battery with 33W fast charging and possibly 33W reverse wired charging.
- Dual 8MP cameras.
- Runs Android 15-based HyperOS2 with quad speakers and microSD card support.
POCO Pad M1 Features
The POCO Pad M1 is shaping up to be an attractive option for students, content consumers, and everyday users. As the leaks suggest, it could be a rebranded version of the Redmi Pad 2 Pro, sharing many of its internal features.
Performance is expected to be solid thanks to the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chip (some reports point to a Gen3 variant for some markets). Android 15 should offer a smooth, modern OS experience.
The display is one of the big attractions: a large 12.1-inch LCD panel with a 2.5K (2560×1600) resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate, making scrolling, streaming, and gaming feel fluid.
On the audio front, the tablet is reported to feature a quad-speaker setup complemented by Dolby Atmos, which is great for media consumption. Battery life could be a standout: The 12,000mAh battery is unusually large for tablets in this segment, and fast charging balances stamina and convenience.
In terms of build and design, leaks show IP54-level resistance (dust and splash protection), a slim profile, and support for accessories like a magnetic keyboard and stylus for added productivity.
