Recently, Xiaomi is about to release a new 8.7-inch small tablet - Redmi Pad SE, which fills the gap of small-size tablets in China.
This product is rumored to be equipped with a Snapdragon 7s Gen3 processor, equipped with an 8GB+128GB storage combination, an 8.7-inch 1200*1920 resolution screen, and the estimated starting price is only 899 yuan. Xiaomi's launch in the field of small-size tablets is bound to set off a boom in this market segment.
As the growth of the smartphone market slows down, major manufacturers have turned their attention to the tablet field, hoping to open up new profit growth points.
For many years, tablet computers have been in an embarrassing state of unclear product positioning, large manufacturers have not invested enough in tablets, innovation is weak, and market demand has never been able to replace laptops.
It wasn't until the epidemic during the epidemic that the demand for home office, learning and entertainment surged, and tablets ushered in a second spring, and major manufacturers regained their interest in tablets.
In response to different needs, manufacturers have launched tablet products of different sizes. For heavy office users, 14-15 inch large-size tablets become the first choice; For light entertainment scenarios such as watching movies and playing games, a 10-11-inch tablet is more suitable; However, for users who pursue portability, these two types of products have certain inconveniences.
Therefore, the 8-9 inch small size tablet Lenovo Yoga series came into being, which combines a certain screen size and portability, and has gained a large user base. However, due to cost control problems, few other domestic brands have entered this segment.
The advent of the Redmi Pad SE is likely to change that. Xiaomi has always been meticulous in product line planning, and this time it entered the small-size tablet market, and it also grasped this segmented demand point.
Compared with bulky tablets over 10 inches, 8-inch products are more suitable for long-term handholding, and female users also prefer this size. If the price can be controlled at the thousand-yuan level, Xiaomi is likely to open up the domestic market for small-size tablets and promote the rapid growth of this segment.
Judging from the information that has been exposed, Redmi Pad SE uses an 8.7-inch 1200*1920 resolution screen, supports90HzHigh refresh rate, and the color gamut covers 100% NTSC, continuing the cost-effective positioning of the Redmi series.
Compared to the Lenovo Yoga, the Redmi Pad SE may not have much of an advantage in terms of performance, but the price is more affordable. Considering Xiaomi's advantages in system optimization, the Redmi Pad SE is still able to provide a smoother experience.
If the Redmi Pad SE can achieve a price of about 1000 yuan, with the Snapdragon 7s Gen3 processor, it can become the most cost-effective 8-inch small tablet.
The 90Hz refresh rate screen can bring a better light entertainment experience, and the 128GB storage also meets the needs of mainstream users. It is foreseeable that once this product is launched, it will be favored by many users who pursue a balance between price and portability.
However, Xiaomi also has a lot of challenges in the small size tablet market. The accuracy of product positioning and how to balance the needs of office and entertainment will be a test of Xiaomi's product planning ability;
In the competition of early manufacturers such as Lenovo, Xiaomi needs to make breakthroughs in user stickiness and brand recognition; Finally, and most crucially, there is the competitive pressure from brands such as Apple. If Apple launches an iPad mini with a similar price, it will inevitably have an impact on the Redmi Pad.
The emergence of Xiaomi Redmi Pad SE has brought more choices to users and also promoted the prosperity and development of the domestic small-size tablet market.
As a pioneer and leader in the market segment, whether Xiaomi can successfully open up the situation remains to be seen in the actual performance of the product and the recognition of users.
Regardless of the outcome, Xiaomi's foray into the field has injected vitality into the field, and domestic brands will continue to grow in technological innovation and healthy competition.
It is worth looking forward to the outstanding performance of Xiaomi Redmi Pad SE, so that the small-sized tablet can truly enter thousands of households and become a part of public life.
