This realme Pad is 4GB & 64GB (upper varient), comes with WiFi + LTE & realme Pad Priced at Rs 18k. So we are going to Review it today.
So lets Start realme Pad Review.

It fits in one hand. I'll tell you all about it. In this realme Pad box documentation, sim card tool, 18w charger and USB Type-C cable is available. So that's all there is in the box, there's no case and anything else in box.

Design -

realme Pad is having metal body back. It's grey in colour with an understated design. there's a single rear Camera. It's not bad. It should be closed to 400 gram in weight.

realme Pad In Hand Feel -

you can hold it one hand which I can't say about other tablets. I can say that about the realme pad though and that's a good thing. If you have small hands then it will be a problem, but with normal average hands it'll be ok. It does seem lightweight. It isn't heavy as the weight distribution is good which is very important having a big form factor and that's nice, you won't feel it to be heavy.

realme Pad Ports and Buttons -

In down side there're two speaker grills on either side, there's a Type-C port in the middle. There's nothing on the left side and Up side there's a power On/Off button and two speaker grills. On the right above there's volume rocker up/down, two microphones below it and a sim card tray.  It's interesting there're two microphones and none at the back nor above.

And Friends, you can make the phone call with this tablet.

So lets see sim card tray. It's a hybrid sim card slot, meaning you can use two sim cards or one SD card (upto 1 TB) & a sim card, that's not bad at all.
And if I talk about its thickness it's just 6.9mm thin. It's decent and very good.

realme Pad Build Quality -

It's metal at the back so that's good and even the frame is metal as I can see the Anteena lines.
There is a 3.5mm jack it's in the corner below, it seems different there.

Display -

The bezels are of decent size & they're necessary in a tablet. This is a 10.4" IPS LCD display. It's an FHD+ display as it has a resolution above FHD+ but lower than 2k.

  • Resolution - 2000 × 1200
  • Display - 10.4" IPS LCD
  • Screen to Body Ratio - 82.5%

It's an IPS LCD with 60Hz refresh rate. There's no fast refresh rate here. The screen to body ratio is 82.5%.

realme Pad Specifications -

It comes with Helio G80 SoC which is a 12Nm processor, and there're 3 different varients. 3GB + 32GB (WiFi version), 3GB + 32GB (WiFi + LTE version), and this here is the 4GB + 64GB (WiFi + LTE version).

  • SoC - Helio G80
  • Storage - 4GB RAM/64GB ROM

The capacity type is eMMC 5.1, which is somewhat on the more slow side and there's LPDDR4X RAM.

Battery -

It has a 7100mAh battery with an 18w charging. So it'll take about 4/4.5 hours to charge. So keep it on charge overnight as it takes 4 hours to charge.
The 10.4" display will easily last you through the day with the 7100mAh battery under moderate usage. Under heavy usage. It'll easily last till evening and shouldn't be a problem.
Also, it's an IPS LCD show as referenced before.

realme Pad Performance -

On paper the AnTuTu scores show between 1.85 - 1.90L. Under gaming performance you can play COD/BGMI with medium settings without any problem. You'll feel the little shuttering under High settings. So that's what it is. 

realme Pad OS UI -

There's one interesting thing about the OS that I'd like to tell you about. There's no bloatware, nor any applications by realme. In fact many apps are from Google, which is interesting. There're apps like YouTube Kids, YouTube Spaces which are basically for educational purposes.
And they've launched the tablets with the same focus so there are some apps where you can track your kids online activities. And many apps like Google one, Google Play, Gpay etc. are all pre-installed which are from Google.

realme says that this is realme UI for Pad but I'd say it's like having stock Android with a realme launcher on it.
It's based on Android 11 & has August security patch. There're some good features like reading mode which is nice.  There's also a multi window support for you to used multiple apps on the big screen. 

Sensors -

No, there aren't all sensor here. There is no fingerprint sensor, yet there is face unlock.
There is no proximity sensor as well. Yes there's gyroscope and other sensors available. 

Connectivity -

The Helio G80 is 4G if you buy the LTE version. There's hybrid sim card support, double 4G VoLTE support, WiFi calling support too.
If you want to talk on the call while picking it up, then you can do it without any problems. 
There's dual band WiFi support, WiFi calling as I mentioned and there's Bluetooth 5.0 support. 

Features -

There's widevine L1 support and camera2api support which I don't think will be useful enough for photos.

Camera -

It's alright for video conferencing, in light of the fact that there are 8MP cameras both on the front and back (Single). There's one good thing the selfie camera is in the side bezel. So if you keep it in landscape mode, it'll help you while video conferencing. The speaker position gets cover when you hold it In your hand, so the sound will be a little low.

Multimedia -

The audio is quite loud & it's good. But if you hold it horizontally then only the upper speaker grills will be audible. The colors are good with the high quality IPS display. You won't see the blacks. As the blacks on AMOLED and the viewing angle are ok. Overall multimedia experience is good.

 

Color -

There are two different colours grey and gold. If you want that gold look then you can go for it too.

Definitely, I'd say its value for money but the marketing tactics 3GB + 32 GB (coming soon) for rs.13,999/- (below Rs. 15k). That shouldn't have been done. Honestly if you're launching then please keep stocks.
Having said that the performance, display and other features for the price is good. I liked this tablet.
       If you're in the market in search of a big screen tablet around Rs. 15-16k, or if you're looking for bigger screen than your phone for media consumption, video conferencing, online education then definitely you should consider the realme Pad.
