The Camera FV-5 certification confirms that the POCO Pad has the same camera system as the Redmi Pad Pro, indicating that this is a rebranded version of the device launched in China earlier. The POCO Pad will have an 8 MP rear camera and an 8 MP front camera.
Additionally, the POCO Stylus, with the model number 2407CMPBCG, and the POCO Tablet Keyboard, with the model number 24071KB3FG, have been certified on IMDA.

POCO Pad Expected Specifications
The POCO Pad is anticipated to feature a 12.1-inch IPS LCD screen with a 120 Hz refresh rate, protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3. The display will boast a brightness of 600 nits.

Under the hood, the POCO Pad will likely be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 processor paired with the Arduino 710 GPU and 6 GB or 8 GB of RAM.
The POCO Pad is also expected to feature a quad-speaker system, a 3.5mm headphone jack, Wi-Fi 6, and USB 2.0. Additionally, the tablet is expected to pack a 10,000 mAh battery with support for 33W fast charging.
Here’s a summary of the POCO Pad’s specifications:

POCO Pad Launch Date
The POCO Pad might launch next month in Europe, but it’s uncertain whether it will debut in India. The Redmi Pad Pro has already received certification from BIS, and a 5G model is set to launch soon in the country.
The POCO Pad could be exclusive to the global market or launched in India. This possibility arises from POCO’s past practice of rebranding existing Redmi products in the country, such as the Redmi 12 5G and the POCO M6 Pro 5G.
I speculate that the Redmi Pad Pro might only be available in a Wi-Fi + 5G variant. At the same time, the POCO Pad could be a Wi-Fi-only model.
POCO Pad Expected Pricing
While the exact pricing remains unknown, rumors suggest that the POCO Pad could be priced at around INR 25,000 in India. For perspective, the surrogate Redmi Pad Pro launched in China earlier this month was priced at CNY 1,499, which translates to about INR 17,300.
That’s just our speculation, so take it with a pinch of salt. Anyway, what are your thoughts on the POCO Pad? Let us know in the comments section below.
