The Realme Pad Mini was confirmed to arrive “soon”, and today we get an exact launch date - April 4. The tablet is scheduled to hit the Philippines first, and just five days before the alleged arrival, it was listed on Lazada’s website with the full specs sheet and some promo images. The specifications and features are in line with what we've heard previously - a 6,400 mAh battery with 18W charging, Unisoc chipset and a basic LCD.
The user interface will be Realme UI for
Pad, which was introduced with the first Realme Pad arrived. We'll see how it
scales down for the 8.7” screen (compared with the 10.4” diagonal on the bigger
sibling). According to Lazada, the OS is Android 11 and we’re wondering if the
Pad Mini will also get Android 12 as its larger sibling.
The price of the Realme Pad Mini is listed
at PHP 99,990, but this is just a placeholder because there’s absolutely no
chance it would cost the equivalent of almost US$ 2,000. The regular Pad is just
south of PHP 11,000, so we expect the Pad Mini to be even cheaper.
