Redmi Pad Pro: AliExpress Black Friday drops the Xiaomi tablet to €179

Xiaomi’s Redmi Pad Pro is a mid-range tablet built to deliver strong value for money without cutting back on the spec sheet. That promise is even more striking right now, as this model has plunged to well under half its usual price.

AliExpress Black Friday: Redmi Pad Pro 256 GB for €179

This year, AliExpress is shaking up its usual schedule by taking part fully in Black Friday for the first time. The online retailer isn’t holding back, highlighting deals that many competitors simply can’t match-particularly on major Asian brands with which it has close ties. The result is a standout offer on the Redmi Pad Pro with 256 GB of storage at €179 instead of €381 using the code FRBF40 or BFFR20. That represents a -53% saving on this configuration-an offer other e-commerce sites are unlikely to be able to replicate.

AliExpress is running this Black Friday event from 20 to 28 November (inclusive). However, waiting could be risky if you want this price, whether on the Redmi Pad Pro or any other discounted item you have your eye on. The retailer typically releases all its offers right at the start of an event, and it has done exactly that again-alongside some of its most aggressive pricing. Stock shortages have already begun and could speed up over the weekend, so acting quickly is the safest way to secure the tablet at roughly half price.

Shipping, returns and the “Best price guarantee”

With the Redmi Pad Pro, AliExpress includes a “Best price guarantee”, signalling that you shouldn’t find a better deal elsewhere during the event. If a lower price did appear, AliExpress says it would refund the difference via a coupon-though the implication is that this is highly unlikely.

The usual AliExpress benefits also apply: delivery is included at no extra cost, and the device is shipped from France, meaning dispatch and arrival should take only a few days.

If you need to, you can return the Redmi Pad Pro free of charge up to 15 days after receipt. Whatever the reason, the process is free and you receive a full refund for the product. Finally, AliExpress includes the two-year manufacturer’s warranty, just as you would get on Xiaomi’s official site. With this version dropping by well over half, it’s a deal best grabbed sooner rather than later.

Xiaomi Redmi Pad Pro: a versatile and bold mid-range tablet

Unveiled by Xiaomi, the Redmi Pad Pro arrived in spring 2024 as a compelling entry in the mid-range segment with a solid set of selling points. To appeal to anyone looking for an excellent price-to-performance ratio, Xiaomi has fitted a large 12.1-inch IPS LCD display with a 2.5K resolution of 2560 × 1600 pixels and a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz. This roomy screen is complemented by Dolby Vision support and a reading mode. Combined with four speakers compatible with Dolby Atmos for an immersive soundstage, the audio-visual package is particularly well suited to films and TV series.

Powering the Redmi Pad Pro 256 GB is a Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 processor, paired with 8 GB of RAM on the 256 GB version. This set-up delivers capable performance for multitasking, streaming and mobile gaming, keeping things smooth even over longer sessions. Beyond the built-in storage, you can expand capacity with a microSD card up to 1.5 TB, making it easy to carry a large library of documents, games or media wherever you go. The tablet also keeps things portable with a light 571 g weight and a slim 7.5 mm chassis.

On battery life, the Redmi Pad Pro houses a 10,000 mAh battery with 33W fast charging, enabling it to last several days with moderate use. That makes it well suited to on-the-go use, whether you’re travelling for work or personal reasons, or working remotely. It also includes two 8-megapixel cameras (front and rear), which are more than adequate for illustrated note-taking, video calls, or occasional snapshots.

For connectivity, the Redmi Pad Pro relies on Wi‑Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, and a 3.5 mm headphone jack to further boost its versatility. Alongside that, HyperOS (based on Android) provides a smooth, customisable interface designed for tablet use, including support for multiple user profiles. If needed, the tablet is also compatible with an optional keyboard and stylus. At under €180, this is a bargain that’s likely to move quickly.
