The tablet features a 9.7-inch IPS display with 2K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.
Xiaomi advertises up to 500 nits typical brightness and 600 nits outdoor brightness, along with TÜV Rheinland certifications for low blue light and flicker reduction.
The design is simple with a slim metal body measuring 7.4mm thick and weighing around 406 grams.
It remains portable enough for casual media use or studying.
Under the hood, the Poco Pad C1 is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 6s 4G Gen 2 chipset.

It comes with up to 6GB RAM and 128GB storage, expandable via microSD up to 2TB.
For everyday tasks like reading PDFs, browsing, or streaming videos, the tablet should perform well. Demanding apps and games will still require a more capable chipset.
The hardware is essentially a rebranded Redmi Pad 2 9.7. Xiaomi has been offering the same core hardware under different branding depending on the market and audience.
The software runs HyperOS 3 out of the box, with ecosystem features like call sync and Circle to Search support.
Connectivity includes 4G support, dual speakers, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
Battery life is a strong point, with a 7,600mAh battery supporting 18W charging.

Xiaomi claims up to 15 hours of video playback and roughly 1.7 days of regular use, though real-world results depend on refresh rate and usage patterns.
The camera setup includes an 8MP rear sensor and a 5MP front camera, suitable for a budget tablet intended for streaming, browsing, online classes, and light gaming.
Regional pricing has not been fully detailed yet.
The Redmi-branded version launched at affordable pricing in several markets, so the Poco version is expected to stay on the lower side as well.
The tablet also includes an 8MP rear camera and a 5MP front-facing camera, which are adequate for video calls and casual photography.
