Redmi Pad 2 launched, coming soon to India

India Today05-06-2025
The Redmi Pad 2 is set to arrive in India on June 18, but ahead of its official launch here, Xiaomi has unveiled the tablet in the Philippines. This entry-level tablet packs quite a few notable upgrades over its predecessor, especially in terms of performance, display quality, and battery life. Some of the key highlights include a new MediaTek Helio G100 Ultra processor, a larger and sharper 2.5K LCD display, quad speakers with Dolby Atmos, and a beefier 9,000mAh battery with 18W fast charging. advertisementRedmi Pad 2: Price and availabilityIn the Philippines, the base variant of the Redmi Pad 2, with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage, is priced at PHP 10,499 (around Rs 16,200), while the 8GB + 256GB version costs PHP 12,999 (roughly Rs 19,300). It comes in three colour options – grey, light blue, and silver. As mentioned above, the tablet is set to launch in India on June 18. Redmi Pad 2: Specs and featuresThe Redmi Pad 2 brings a solid set of hardware upgrades over the original Redmi Pad. It now sports an 11-inch LCD screen with a 2560 x 1600 resolution, a higher 90Hz refresh rate, and up to 600 nits of brightness. The older Redmi Pad featured a slightly smaller 10.61-inch screen with the same refresh rate but lower resolution.
Under the hood, the Redmi Pad 2 is powered by the newer MediaTek Helio G100 Ultra chipset, compared to the Helio G99 found in the original. This should result in slightly better performance for day-to-day tasks, multitasking, and casual gaming. It also supports up to 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage, with room for microSD expansion.advertisementFor audio, it comes equipped with quad speakers and Dolby Atmos support, retaining one of the strong points of the first-generation model. However, this time Xiaomi has added a 3.5mm headphone jack — something that was missing on the original Redmi Pad.The front camera has been slightly downgraded to 5-megapixel (compared to 8-megapixel on the original), while the rear camera stays the same at 8-megapixel. In terms of software, it runs Android 15 with HyperOS 2.0 out of the box — a big jump from the Android 12-based MIUI 13 that the original shipped with.Battery life also gets a boost, thanks to the larger 9,000mAh cell. It supports 18W charging, although a 22.5W charger might be bundled in the box, similar to the first-gen tablet. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, 4G LTE, Bluetooth, USB-C, and face unlock.

Dolby Cinema's first screen in Pune offers new level of immersion, but how does it stack up against IMAX?

Dolby recently opened its first theatre in India at City Pride, Pune, with a lot of buzz around its Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos technology. But for most moviegoers, what does this actually mean for the experience, and is it really that different from what you get at other premium cinemas or even IMAX? India's first Dolby Cinema combines Dolby Vision and Atmos for a premium movie experience with stunning visuals and 3D sound.(Unsplash) What Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos mean for your movie night Let's start with Dolby Vision. Think of it as an upgrade to how you see movies. Dolby Vision is a type of high dynamic range (HDR) technology that brings out brighter highlights, deeper blacks, and a much wider range of colours than what you get with standard cinema screens. The secret lies in its dynamic metadata, which means the picture adjusts scene by scene, so every frame looks its best. You should be able to notice details in shadows, vibrant colours, and a level of clarity that makes even familiar films feel new. Now, pair that with Dolby Atmos. Think of this as an extension of surround sound: a three-dimensional audio experience. Instead of sound coming from just the front or sides, Dolby Atmos uses speakers all around and even above you. Sounds move through the room, so when a plane flies overhead or rain falls, you actually feel it happening around you. Each sound can be placed and moved anywhere in the theatre, making you feel like you are right in the middle of the action. When both technologies come together, your movie should look and sound the way the director intended. How does this compare to other cinemas and IMAX? Many high-end cinemas in India already offer 4K projection and some form of surround sound. But Dolby Vision goes a step further than standard HDR or regular 4K, with its dynamic scene-by-scene adjustments and a higher colour range. Dolby Atmos, meanwhile, offers more precise sound placement than traditional 5.1 or 7.1 surround systems, thanks to its object-based audio and overhead speakers. IMAX is the other big name in premium cinema. IMAX screens are known for their sheer size and their own digital remastering process which makes images sharp and bright. IMAX sound is powerful and all-pervading but it is channel-based, not object-based. This means Dolby Atmos can offer more flexibility in placing sounds exactly where they need to be, while IMAX often wins on sheer scale and impact. Dolby Cinema focuses on creating a perfectly balanced experience, with both visuals and sound tuned for immersion and comfort. This doesn't mean IMAX is not as good, but perhaps it's safe to say it's about spectacle and scale. Essentially, it's about your preference. So, if you want the most lifelike colours and pinpoint sound placement, Dolby Cinema stands out. If you crave a larger-than-life screen and booming audio, IMAX still has its loyal fans. Both are a big leap from standard theatres, so you get a good experience either way.
