Android Redmi Pad SE - Query

Hello Folks,

Is the Redmi Pad SE a decent enough Tab to watch movies/ shows on? How good is the battery backup?

The tab will be used exclusively for watching shows and movies at night over headphones. Nothing more really. I can't really see anything better within the 14k price range so planning to get one of these during the Sale.

I'm also looking for tab; has Redmi Pad SE or Honor Pad X9 in the Amazon Wishlist.

These tabs have Larger Screen + decent speaker setup (in-built) and multi-window option.

I think the Redmi Pad SE is the best option under 14-15k. I plan on getting the 6GB, 128GB variant. This will enable me to store more media on it. I do realize that I will not be getting any software updates on it anymore but since I will only use this tab for watching movies/ shows (stored on it's storage drive) I think I'll be fine. For everything else I can rely on my trusty iPad.

If Xiaomi is not letting us disable ads - we are left with custom rom or another tab.

But there are Android Debloaters that can be used I believe to get rid of ads? Do Honor Tabs come with less bloatware?

So, I watched a few reviews on Youtube on the Redmi Pad SE and the Honor Pad X9 along with reading a user reviews online.

The Redmi Pad SE has a couple of distinct advantages for me:

- Comes with an internal memory card slot which is expandable to 1TB unlike the Honor X9 which does not come with any memory slot. This will enable me to carry more media on it, saved on the memory card.

- Has a 3.5mm headphone jack which I absolutely must have since I use wired headphones. The X9 doesn't come with a 3.5mm jack so this a major disadvantage for me. I don't use BT headphones.

However, I'm a little worried about the bloatware that Xiaomi devices come with but I still use a Redmi K20 Pro as a secondary mobile and I do remember using ADB and taking care of the bloatware stuff I didn't need when I bought the phone. Never looked back and the device has been serving me well since (I did get the batter replaced last year from a Xiaomi Service Center). I'm hoping there are tools out there that can be used to address the bloatware on the Redmi Pad SE as well?

@tech.monk : Did you decide which one to go for?
