Reviews for the Realme Pad Mini

74% Realme Pad Mini Review: Compact and inexpensive tablet
Source: Root Nation English EN→zh-CN
realme Pad Mini is a very competitive tablet in the budget class. It’s compact, with a high-quality body, adequate performance, very good battery life, and full stereo sound. Moreover, the manufacturer has fixed many of the software flaws that we encountered in the regular realme Pad. Its main disadvantage would be the low display resolution, if not for the positioning and price tag, because for this kind of money there are simply no tablets with a diagonal of 8-8.7″ and higher resolution. So for simple multimedia tasks, the device is quite decent in general, if you don’t load it with heavy tasks. I would like to see some more significant changes in the software from the manufacturer, because now the realme Pad and Pad Mini are more like stock Android smartphones. It would be nice to see a full-fledged proprietary functional shell with some improvements, such as floating windows and the ability to get a dock with selected applications from anywhere in the system. realme Pad Mini is a very competitive tablet in the budget class. It's compact, with a high-quality body, adequate performance, very good battery life, and full stereo sound.

70% Realme Pad Mini review: Nice price and great battery life, but too many trade-offs
Source: Zdnet.com English EN→zh-CN
While the price might be alluring, it's worth considering the trade-offs before deciding whether the Realme Pad Mini is a good buy. You'll need to be able to live with 179ppi screen resolution, sluggish performance and basic cameras. Internal storage is limited too, but at least there's a MicroSD card slot. On the plus side, the general build quality is good, as is battery life (although it's slow to charge).

70% Realme Pad Mini review
Source: Tech Advisor English EN→zh-CN
While worthwhile affordable Android tablets are few and far between, just because the Pad Mini is both cheap and from a reputable brand, doesn't make it an automatic buy. The design language and build quality set out by the original Realme Pad carry across beautifully to the Pad Mini; making it one of the better-looking tablets in the affordable space and aesthetically above its standing in the wider tablet market. Aspects like display and camera quality are par for the course for a slate at this price point, while gaming performance surpassed expectations, especially when other aspects of the user experience, including UI navigation and app load times, were consistently underwhelming. If only Realme had spent more time tailoring the user experience to better serve the form factor offered up by the Pad Mini, would it make for a stronger recommendation, however, the unclear update roadmap means that, even though it doesn't require a huge investment, the long-term value of the Pad Mini remains questionable.

81% Realme Pad Mini Review: Killer Value!
Source: Gadgetbyte Nepal English EN→zh-CN
Okay, so let’s wrap things up now. The Realme Pad Mini—like the first-gen Realme Pad—is aimed at those who value affordability above all else. And for a low-cost tablet, it ticks almost every box. You get a clean software experience, great performance, and its all-metal construction is just the icing on the cake. Granted that the overall display quality could’ve been better, but its price makes it easy to overlook a few flaws. All in all, if you want a small yet powerful Android tablet, the Realme Pad Mini is one of the easiest recommendations for 2022 so far.

Realme Pad Mini Review – Best Budget Tablet for Indian Students
Source: Cashify English EN→zh-CN
The Realme Pad Mini is a fantastic tablet built for basic activities like binge-watching, browsing, light gaming, and taking online classes, among other things. With its hefty battery, the Realme Pad Mini is able to handle the demands of day-to-day life with ease. The performance is satisfactory, however, the gaming performance of the Helio G80 on the Realme Pad is somewhat better. There are a few issues with the device, however, most of them are fine for the price. There are some software problems, but these can be addressed with future updates. Although the display isn’t quite as sharp as you’d want, you’ll still be able to read emails, play games, and watch movies on it. Overall, thanks to its huge display and stereo speakers, the Realme Pad Mini is a wonderful budget tablet for multimedia consumption.

60% Realme Pad Mini Review: Surprisingly good for its price
Source: The Times of India English EN→zh-CN
With a starting price of Rs. 10,999 for Wi-Fi only variant and Rs. 12,999 for the Wi-Fi+4G variant, the Realme Pad Mini is a handy tablet meant for basic needs like binge-watching, reading, playing games, attending online classes, and some more. The tablet can be considered worth buying if you are looking for a compact tablet with good battery life and decent performance. However, if you want a tablet for heavy apps involving high-end graphics, office work, among others you will have to spend more for the bigger tablets.

Realme Pad Mini Review: Decent tablet for the price, but keep your expectations low
Source: XDA Developers English EN→zh-CN
Based on your use case, the answer to this question can either be a resounding YES!, an undecisive maybe, or a strong no. Are you purchasing the tablet for your kid to watch videos or play some casual games? I think you should get it right away. It’s a cheap tablet that gets this job done, and since the hardware is inherently basic, it works as advertised for these basic needs. Do you currently binge Netflix on your phone and want to get the tablet for a better viewing experience? You can consider buying it, provided you’re OK with the low-resolution display. Again, the price of this tablet makes it easy to overlook several of its flaws. Do you plan on playing demanding games like PUBG or getting some serious work done on the tablet? Your money would be better spent on a mid-range phone or a slightly more premium tablet like the original Realme Pad, the Nokia T20 Tab, or the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8. The Galaxy Tab A8 is a particularly good alternative in this price range, as One UI offers some great features for productivity. It even secured a spot on our list of the best Android tablets.

realme Pad mini – Hands-On and First Look | First Impressions
Source: Mobygyaan English EN→zh-CN
The realme Pad mini offers a large 8.7-inch display which is sufficiently large, a seamless design with a 7.6 mm slim form factor, a solid build quality, and dual loudspeakers for a stereo experience. It also comes with a decent hardware package and a reasonable battery size of 6,400 mAh capacity. For those who are looking for an 8-inch Android tablet, the realme Pad mini seems the best tablet in this price range, the price starts at ₹10,999 for its 3 GB + 32 GB W-Fi variant and goes 14,999 for its LTE 4 GB + 64 GB variant.

realme Pad Mini Review Philippines: Mixed Bag
Source: Unbox English EN→zh-CN
Our realme Pad Mini review for the Philippine market tells us that the brand’s newest tablet is somewhat of a mixed bag. It looks great and is affordably priced, but software problems, mediocre performance from the processor as well as low storage and RAM options rob the tablet of its potential value.

realme Pad mini Review
Source: Yugatech English EN→zh-CN
The realme Pad mini is a good follow-up to the realme Pad. It feels premium, portable, has 4G LTE connectivity, and a big battery. The price, however, is a bit tricky. The 3GB + 32GB LTE variant is at PHP 9,990, while the 4GB + 64GB 4G LTE is at PHP 11,990. A WiFi-only model will be available soon. If you’re going for the entry-level, just add PHP 1K more and you’re better off with the realme Pad, minus the LTE connectivity and extra portability, which is not a big deal. You’ll get a better screen, more powerful chipset, quad-speakers, and a much bigger battery with fast charging. But if you’re looking at the 4GB + 64GB model, that could work, if you really need the smaller size and if budget is an issue. But for an extra PHP 3K more, you can also opt for the 4GB + 64GB LTE realme Pad. I think that would be a much better value for your money.

Realme Pad Mini Review - A new Affordable Tablet!
Source: Manila Shaker English
Realme's first attempt on the android tablet last year was a success. They did an impressive job on releasing a bang for the buck device, and now they are back for another variant of the realme pad which is the smaller one, the realme pad mini. This pretty much sports the same spec sheet but take a look at this video as we uncover its specs and see some of its performance at work.

这个屏幕尺寸对于平板电脑来说十分小。

大尺寸可以让屏幕有更高的分辨率。因而例如字体等的细节将会更丰富。不过另一方面,小屏幕的功耗会较低,而设备也会更轻盈小巧,售价更低。
