Should you buy?

Redmi Pad is over a year old now so it might be questionable to purchase the product. But the tablet still offers most of what you get around the same price at present. It has a large LCD display with thin bezels, a decent chipset, and a battery that should run for the entire day on a single charge. You also get 8MP cameras on the front and back. You can also opt for the bigger storage variants if space is your concern.
