Xiaomi Redmi Pad SE
The Xiaomi has officially released the Redmi Pad SE in the Philippines. It features an 11-inch display with adaptive 90Hz refresh, 8000mAh battery, and equips the Snapdragon 680 SoC. The chipset is a Snapdragon 680, built on the 6 nm process technology. It is a fairly old platform, as it arrived in early 2021, but we don't expect a powerhouse in this price category. In fact, this could be a great SoC for the Redmi Pad SE – we'll know for sure once we go through our regular tests and benchmarks. Our first impressions from the performance are the UI is smooth, and the 90 Hz could prove itself worthy when browsing or using the native player.
Xiaomi introduced MIUI Pad 14, which is an adapted version of MIUI 14 for big screens. Тhe apps feel native and not stretched; video also looks good. The 11” LCD is certified for low blue light, meaning it would be a great device for reading and learning. In theory, it can reach 400 nits and 1500:1 contrast, but once again, we have to use our own tools to determine how authentic these results are in real-life scenarios.
There are four speakers with Dolby Atmos and Hi-Res Audio support, placed 2x2 on the right and left side (when held horizontally), and we are quite happy to see a 3.5 mm audio jack. The battery has an 8,000 mAh capacity, which sounds promising for an endurance test. However, it is rated for 10W, meaning it would take some time for the cell to get from 0 to 100% with the charger provided in the box.

The device is also expected to support rapid charging, potentially reaching at least 33W.

On the front, a 50-megapixel selfie camera is present. Vivo asserts that the selfie camera incorporates "Eye Auto Focus" technology to enhance focus reliability and quality.

Oppo Reno 10 Pro Plus 5G
The Oppo’s Reno 10 Pro+ 5G is its first Reno branded smartphone to make it into the premium segment. The device has a premium design with a polycarbonate frame sandwiched between two sheets of 3D curved glass screens. Despite its premium price, the phone lacks some premium features like an IP rating and wireless charging.
Performance with its slightly outdated processor is still quite good and will be sufficient for most premium smartphone users. Gaming performance with the curved edge OLED display’s 240Hz touch sampling rate is also very impressive.
Camera performance is quite good. While the primary camera performs as expected, the ultra-wide isn’t best in class. The high-resolution telephoto camera does an impressive job while shooting at its native 3X optical zoom, which is useful for portraits and close-ups.
Battery life easily lasts over a day with heavy usage and the included 100W charger is rather quick when it comes to charging the phone.
