Staff Reporter : Once popular mainly among young users for gaming on larger screens, tablet pcs had seen a dip in demand as smartphones began offering bigger displays and more advanced gaming features. Recently, however, tabs are making a strong comeback—this time driven largely by professionals and students.
Industry insiders say young corporate professionals are increasingly turning to tablets for their portability, note-taking convenience, and long battery life. From reviewing presentations and editing documents to attending virtual meetings, pads are emerging as reliable productivity devices. In response to this renewed demand, technology brands are introducing new models focused on portability and multitasking capabilities.
Xiaomi has unveiled two new variants under its Redmi Pad 2 Pro series. The 5G version supports both physical SIM and eSIM, enabling users to make calls similar to a smartphone. The device features a 12.1-inch display equipped with eye-care technology designed to reduce strain during extended use.
Powered by a 12,000mAh battery, the tablet is built for long hours of uninterrupted use. It also supports 27W reverse charging, allowing users to charge other devices, including smartphones, via cable—making it a practical companion for travel.
The quad-speaker setup delivers immersive, room-filling sound, making the device suitable for virtual meetings or calls without the need for earphones.
Beyond professionals, students can also benefit from the device for attending virtual classes, accessing course materials, and reading PDFs comfortably on a larger screen.
The Redmi Pad 2 Pro Wi-Fi (8GB RAM + 256GB storage) is priced at Tk 37,999, while the Redmi Pad 2 Pro 5G variant is available at Tk 44,999. The tablet comes in Graphite Gray, Silver, and Lavender Purple.
