The Redmi Pad 2 is Xiaomi’s cheapest 11-inch tablet. It came out in summer 2025 and sits below the Redmi Pad 2 Pro and the Xiaomi Pad 8. For Singles’ Day, AliExpress lists the Wi-Fi 4GB/128GB model at €182.25 instead of €207.08 once you enter the code CLU24. The code takes €24 off orders of €139 or more.

Screen, battery and sound
At this price the screen is the main reason to buy. 2.5K resolution keeps ebook text sharp, and 90Hz makes web pages scroll more smoothly than on the 60Hz tablets you find around €150. The panel has TÜV Rheinland low blue light and flicker-free certifications, which helps if you read at night.
The battery is 9,000 mAh, 1,000 mAh more than the first Redmi Pad. Xiaomi doesn’t publish a runtime figure, so I wouldn’t promise buyers “several days.” The four speakers are enough for watching an episode without headphones, and the microSD slot takes cards up to 2TB for offline movies.
What to know before you buy
The Helio G100-Ultra is a rebranded Helio G99, the chip in the previous Redmi Pad. Expect similar speed: fine for streaming, social media, reading and light documents. The 4GB of RAM is the weak point. Keep several apps open and the tablet will slow down. Xiaomi also sells 6GB and 8GB versions, but they cost more.
Charging is rated at 18W, but Xiaomi’s spec page lists 15W for the in-box adapter, and some regions get no adapter at all. If you’re buying on AliExpress, check what’s included in the listing.
It’s Wi-Fi only. An LTE version exists, but this deal isn’t it.
Who it fits
A shared tablet for the living room works well, and so does a high school student who needs a big screen for homework and videos. It’s a poor match for work. The RAM and the slow charging will annoy you quickly.
How it compares
| Tablet | Approx. price | Main difference |
|---|---|---|
| Redmi Pad 2 (11″) | €182.25 (this deal) | Biggest screen and battery for the money |
| Redmi Pad 2 9.7″ | from about €160 | Smaller, 120Hz display |
| Galaxy Tab S10 Lite | about €338 at launch | S Pen included, 6GB RAM |
| Xiaomi Pad 8 | about €365 | Best value in our tablet comparison, about double this price |
The 9.7-inch Redmi Pad 2 is cheaper and has a faster display, but a smaller screen. Samsung’s tablet adds a stylus. If you want either, this deal isn’t aimed at you.
Is €182.25 a good price?
It’s a small discount. Amazon sold the same tablet for €191 at the end of August, so you’re saving about €9. That’s fine for a home tablet, but there’s no urgency. Black Friday is November 27, and other Android tablets may drop to similar prices by then.
