The POCO Pad (model number 2405CPCFBG) arrived on my desk promising a premium tablet experience at a competitive price point. With its 12.1-inch 2.5K display, Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 processor, and a massive 10000mAh battery, the expectations were high. After weeks of rigorous testing, including extensive gaming sessions, video streaming, and everyday tasks, here’s my comprehensive review.

The POCO Pad boasts a stunning 12.1-inch 120Hz 2.5K display that’s incredibly vibrant and smooth. The colors are rich and accurate, and the high refresh rate makes scrolling and gaming a delight. The large battery easily lasted a full day, even with heavy usage. The tablet’s design is sleek and minimalist, feeling substantial without being overly bulky. The inclusion of Android 14 out of the box is a welcome addition. However, the absence of cellular connectivity might be a drawback for some users. The 8MP rear camera is adequate for casual snaps but lacks the quality of a dedicated camera.

Powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 processor and 8GB of RAM, the POCO Pad handled everything I threw at it with ease. Multitasking was smooth, even with several apps open simultaneously. Demanding games ran smoothly at medium to high settings. The 256GB of internal storage is more than enough for most users. The 33W fast charging is also a bonus, quickly topping up the large battery.

However, there were some instances of minor lag when switching between apps. This was only noticeable during periods of intense multitasking, and it didn’t significantly impact overall usability.

Pros:

• Stunning 12.1-inch 120Hz 2.5K display
• Powerful Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 processor
• Long-lasting 10000mAh battery
• Ample 256GB storage
• Sleek and lightweight design
• Android 14 out of the box
• Supports 33W fast charging

Cons:

• No cellular connectivity
• Occasional minor lag during heavy multitasking
• Average camera quality

Overall, the POCO Pad 2405CPCFBG offers excellent value for its price. The stunning display, powerful performance, and long battery life make it a great option for media consumption, gaming, and everyday tasks. While there are minor drawbacks, they don’t significantly detract from the overall positive experience. If you’re looking for a large-screen Android tablet without breaking the bank, I highly recommend the POCO Pad.
