Poco is gearing up for another big reveal this month. The Xiaomi sub-brand has confirmed that its new tablet, the Poco Pad X1, will make its debut on November 26 at 16:00 GMT+8, launching alongside the Poco F8 smartphone lineup. It’s a clear signal that Poco is expanding its ecosystem with hardware aimed at power users who don’t want to pay flagship prices.
Early teasers highlight a display-first approach for the Poco Pad X1. The tablet will feature a sharp 3.2K screen with a fluid 144Hz refresh rate, Adaptive HDR, and support for up to 68 billion colors. That combination should deliver crisp text, buttery-smooth scrolling, and vibrant visuals for gaming, streaming, and creative work.
Under the hood, leaks point to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 powering the X1, a strong mid-range chipset sitting between the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in performance. Expect capable gaming and multitasking thanks to an Adreno 732 GPU and at least 8GB of RAM. It’s shaping up to be a well-balanced tablet for users who want speed without the premium price tag.
Poco is also said to be working on a more affordable model, the Poco Pad M1. Recent benchmarks and leaks suggest the M1 will focus on long-lasting entertainment with a large 12,000mAh battery and a 12.1-inch display running at 120Hz. It’s rumored to use the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4, and several reports claim it could be a rebranded version of the Redmi Pad 2 Pro. According to tipster Sudhanshu Ambhore, the Poco Pad M1 may start at €349 in Europe for the 8GB RAM and 256GB storage variant. Pricing for the Pad X1 has not yet been revealed.
With a high-refresh 3.2K display, a gaming-ready chipset, and strong color and HDR credentials, the Poco Pad X1 looks set to challenge established mid-range tablets. Meanwhile, the Pad M1 could appeal to students, casual gamers, and binge-watchers who want a big screen and huge battery at a more accessible price.
All remaining details, including full specifications, accessories, and regional availability, are expected to be confirmed at the November 26 event. If you’re shopping for a new Android tablet, this launch is one to watch.
