What Makes the POCO Pad M1 Stand Out
Display
A large 12.1-inch IPS LCD with a sharp 2.5K resolution (2560 × 1600) and a high 120 Hz refresh rate make this tablet ideal for both content consumption and productivity.

The Pad M1 keeps things simple with 8 MP rear and 8 MP front cameras, enough for video calls, online classes, and casual snapshots.
Performance
Powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4, the tablet strikes a sweet balance between efficient power use and capable performance — great for multitasking, light gaming, and daily productivity.
Battery
A huge 12,000 mAh battery means long hours of use. With 33 W fast charging and reverse wired charging at 27 W, the tablet can even act as a makeshift power bank.
Software
Runs on Android 15 layered with HyperOS 2, which is responsive, modern, and well-optimized.
Connectivity
Features Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, USB-C, and quad speakers (for immersive audio), making it a well-connected and multimedia-ready device.

Pros and Cons
Pros
- Large, smooth 120 Hz display — great for media and multitasking
- Massive 12,000 mAh battery with reverse charging — very practical
- Efficient yet competitive Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chip
Cons
- No cellular (data) connectivity — Wi-Fi only

Final Verdict
The POCO Pad M1 is shaping up to be an excellent pick for Pakistani users who want a large, capable tablet without breaking into ultra-premium territory. Its massive screen and battery make it ideal for students attending online classes, professionals doing design or note-taking, and entertainment lovers streaming shows or playing casual games.
However, if you need mobile data connectivity, the Wi-Fi–only model could be a limitation. In that case, an alternative to consider would be the Xiaomi Pad 6 (if available locally), which may offer 5G/4G support depending on the variant.
Overall, if POCO brings the Pad M1 officially to Pakistan at a competitive price, it could become a go-to large-screen tablet for many.
