While Himanshu didn’t reveal specific details about the Indian variant of Poco Pad, it’s expected to closely resemble the global version. This means the Poco Pad should sport a 12.1-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a peak brightness of 600 nits. It will likely be powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset, paired with up to 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage. The tablet should house an 8MP rear camera and an 8MP front-facing camera.

The Poco Pad could pack a 10,000mAh battery supporting 33W fast charging. Furthermore, it might run on HyperOS based on Android 14. Specific details, including pricing, will be revealed during the official launch.

Meanwhile, Poco today launched the Poco M6 Plus and Poco Buds X1 in India. Both products were exclusively unboxed by Himanshu Tandon for Times Network and Digit.
