The best tablet under 5 thousand! Redmi Pad 2 Pro pleasantly discounted, has a decent chip, huge battery, and great display

A tablet under 5 thousand is a segment where big compromises are usually made. The Xiaomi Redmi Pad 2 Pro quite nicely turns these rules around. You can currently get it on Heureka from 4,799 CZK — from the original 6,290 CZK, this is a drop of over 1,400 CZK, and in this price range, it’s very difficult to find competition with a comparable combination of a 12.1″ 2.5K display, 120 Hz, four speakers, and a 12,000 mAh battery.

Quick summary:
✅ Makes sense if you’re looking for a large tablet for multimedia content, reading, watching movies, and occasional gaming for a reasonable price. An ideal choice for children, by the couch, or in the kitchen.
⚠️ Consider that 33W charging is relatively slow (takes about 2.5 hours)
💡 For 4,799 CZK you get a 12.1″ 2.5K LCD display with 120 Hz, Snapdragon 7s Gen 4, 6 GB RAM, 128GB storage expandable via microSD up to 2 TB, four speakers with Dolby Atmos, Wi-Fi 6, USB-C, 3.5mm jack, metal body (7.5 mm thin), and 7 years of security updates.

Who it makes sense for

The main draw is the large 12.1″ display with 2.5K resolution and 120 Hz. In the price range under 5 thousand, such a large format with higher resolution is rare — typical competition sticks to 11″ Full HD panels and often without 120 Hz. In addition, the premium metal body and 7.5mm thickness make the Redmi Pad 2 Pro a tablet that doesn’t feel like a budget class device. The Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 handles common applications, social media, streaming, and games at lower details smoothly.

Another strong point important for multimedia is the four speakers with Dolby Atmos and the huge 12,000 mAh battery. According to tests, the tablet lasts several days of normal use, and you essentially don’t have to worry about charging it every day. A bonus is 7 years of security updates (until October 2032), which is not common at all for a tablet in this price class — Xiaomi offers better software support here than most competitors.

What’s more important to you in a tablet — display quality, or price and size?
