Protecting your valuable Xiaomi Redmi Pad Pro 12.1 inch 5G or Xiaomi Poco Pad 12.1 inch 5G (Model Number: 8694yjmfq) is crucial, and this review dives deep into the performance of the 9H Ultra HD Tempered Glass Screen Protector.

Beyond the basic specifications, the screen protector boasts a claimed 9H hardness rating, promising exceptional protection against scratches, scuffs, and even minor impacts. The advertised crystal clarity is a key selling point, essential for maintaining the vibrant visuals of the Redmi/Poco Pad’s display.
Performance and Real-World Use
The installation process was surprisingly straightforward. The included instructions were clear, and the application was bubble-free, thanks in part to the smooth, self-adhering properties of the glass. After applying it to my Xiaomi Poco Pad, I put it through rigorous testing.
I subjected the screen protector to a series of simulated scratches using keys and coins. The 9H hardness rating held true. There were no visible scratches after repeated attempts. I also tested its impact resistance by accidentally dropping my tablet (from a low height, thankfully!). The screen protector absorbed the impact effectively, preserving the underlying display completely. The clarity remained impressive throughout my testing period. Videos and photos appeared sharp and vibrant, with minimal visual distortion.
Over the course of several weeks, the screen protector showed no signs of degradation. It maintained its clarity and protective properties, providing peace of mind against daily wear and tear. The touch sensitivity was not affected, either; the responsiveness remained as quick and accurate as before the screen protector application.
One minor observation: While the clarity is excellent, there’s a very slight reduction in screen brightness compared to an unprotected screen. This is almost imperceptible in well-lit environments, but noticeable in low-light conditions. This is, however, a common tradeoff with tempered glass screen protectors.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Excellent scratch and impact resistance, crystal-clear clarity, easy installation, durable, maintains touch sensitivity
- Cons: Minor reduction in screen brightness in low-light conditions, slightly higher price compared to some alternatives.
Final Verdict
Overall, the Xiaomi Redmi Pad Pro/Poco Pad 12.1″ 5G (Model Number: 8694yjmfq) 9H Ultra HD Tempered Glass Screen Protector is a highly effective and reliable solution for safeguarding your tablet’s display. The superior protection it offers, coupled with its ease of installation and excellent clarity, makes it a worthwhile investment. The minor reduction in brightness is a negligible compromise given the level of protection provided. I would wholeheartedly recommend this screen protector to anyone looking to protect their Xiaomi Redmi Pad Pro or Poco Pad 12.1″ 5G.
