When it comes to other features, it has WiFi 5, Bluetooth 5.1, USB-C, quad-speakers with Dolby Atmos, and realme UI 3.0 for Pad based on Android 12. What will set it apart more from other models is that it supports realme Pencil and Smart Keyboard, which turns the realme Pad X into a productivity device.

If you’re someone who is into gaming, watching tons of videos, but also an artist who likes to create digital arts, or simply someone who is looking for a device that can function as an alternative to a laptop, the realme Pad X is for you.

Why the realme Pad is for you?

The realme Pad sits in the middle of the series. It has the second-largest screen in the series. It may be slightly smaller than the one on the realme Pad X but it has the same resolution.

In terms of battery capacity, it’s at 7,100mAh with 18W fast charging.

Camera-wise, you’ll get an 8MP rear and 8MP front, which are good enough for online meetings. For other features, it has WiFi 5, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, USB-C, and quad-speakers. But one of the reasons to get the realme Pad is the support for 4G LTE. This allows you to keep connected while on the go.

If you’re a casual user who is looking for a tablet for binge-watching your favorite TV series, online meetings, and moderate gaming. Get this if you have a lower budget than the realme Pad X and you need 4G connectivity.

Why the realme Pad mini is for you?

As the name suggests, the realme Pad mini is the smallest device in the lineup. it has an 8.7-inch screen with a much lower resolution but can still provide a good viewing experience.

It’s an entry-level device, so it’s powered by a Unisoc T616 chipset with a Mali-G57 GPU. It has three memory configurations: 3GB, + 32GB (WiFi), 3GB + 32GB (WiFi + LTE) and 4GB + 64GB (WiFi + LTE). Battery-wise, it has the smallest capacity in the series but is still large at 6,400mAh with 18W fast charging.

For the rear camera, it has the same resolution as the realme Pad at 8MP but has a 5MP front camera which is still good for attending online meetings or classes. It also has 4G LTE connectivity, WiFi 5, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, USB-C, and stereo speakers.

The realme Pad mini is also the most affordable in the lineup. This is good for kids as their entertainment device or for students who are looking for a device that they can use for online classes. Still, it’s a good device for other users who just want a smaller tablet that they can carry everywhere and watch videos with during their downtime.

To sum it up, if you have a big budget and want the best entertainment and productivity tablet, get the realme Pad X. If you’re a casual user on a budget who’s just looking for a small tablet that can handle your basic entertainment needs and with 4G LTE, get the realme Pad mini. If you want something in between the two, the realme Pad is the one to get.
