Poco Pad X1 Malaysia: Specs & features
As you can tell from its price tag, the Poco Pad X1 is the higher-end product of the two. Let’s start with its display. You get an 11.2″ 144Hz IPS LCD panel that pushes a resolution of 3200×2136 pixels and a peak brightness of 800 nits.
Flanking the tablet is a quad stereo speaker setup with Dolby Atmos that’s said to provide a 200% volume boost. Powering the Pad X1 is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chipset. Keeping lights on for the tablet is an 8,850mAh battery that supports 45W charging via USB-C.
In the imaging department, you get a 13MP f/2.2 rear camera and an 8MP f/2.28 front shooter. The tablet runs on Xiaomi’s Android 16-based HyperOS 3 skin and features WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.4 for connectivity. The Poco Pad X1 can be had in either Grey or Blue colourways.
Poco Pad M1 Malaysia: Specs and features
Despite being the more affordable device, the Poco Pad M1 sports a larger 12.1″ IPS LCD display. However, you do get a slightly lower refresh rate at 120Hz, a resolution of 2560×1600 pixels, and a peak brightness of 600 nits. Like the Pad X1, the Poco Pad M1 also sports four stereo speakers, but you also get a trusty 3.5mm headphone jack.
At the heart of the tablet is the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset with an expandable storage of up to 2TB. In terms of battery, the Poco Pad M1 is equipped with a 12,000mAh unit, which Poco says can provide over 83 days of standby time. Charging is rated at 33W via USB-C, while reverse wired charging at 27W is also thrown in.
