Xiaomi has released a new budget-friendly tablet: the Redmi Pad SE 8.7 4G. It’s a smaller version of last year’s vanilla Redmi Pad SE 17 but comes with different specs and camera island design.

Powering this tablet is the 4G-enabled MediaTek Helio G85 and packs at least 4GB of RAM and 64GB of expandable storage.
