Poco's upcoming tablet quietly popped up in the Google Play Console days before the company's big November launch, offering an early look at hardware that could shake up the midrange tablet market. Here's what the listing — and Poco's own teasers — are already telling us.
Play Console leak: model, codename and likely rebrand
The Google Play Console entry lists the device under model number 2509ARPBDG with the internal codename flute. That model name has been linked to Xiaomi's Redmi Pad 2 Pro, which suggests the Poco Pad M1 may essentially be a rebadged Pad 2 Pro aimed at a different audience.
Key hardware revealed
So what does the Play Console actually confirm? Not everything, but enough to sketch a solid spec sheet:
- Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 — a prime core clocked at 2.80 GHz
- Graphics: Adreno 732 GPU running around 900 MHz
- Memory & OS: 8GB RAM and Android 15
- Display listing: 1600 x 2560 resolution with a 320 xhdpi density
Those numbers point to a crisp tablet experience driven by a modern midrange SoC — capable for streaming, productivity and light gaming.
Poco's own teasers: a big screen and heavy battery life
Poco has already started teasing the Pad M1 on its website. The marketing copy highlights a large entertainment-focused tablet: a 12.1-inch display with 2.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Battery capacity is listed at a substantial 12,000mAh, and earlier leaks add support for 33W wired charging.
Colors, price and what to expect at launch
Leaks also claim the Poco Pad M1 will come in Graphite Gray and Blue, with a rumored European price near EUR 349. Poco plans to unveil this tablet alongside the new F8 series on November 26 — just enough time for more confirmations to surface.
Where the Pad M1 fits in Poco’s lineup
On paper the Pad M1 looks positioned as an affordable entertainment tablet. By contrast, the Poco X1 appears to be a slightly more premium model, equipped with a Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 and a sharper 3.2K, 144Hz display — a reminder that Poco intends to cover multiple segments in the market.
Will the Pad M1 be a simple rebadge of the Redmi Pad 2 Pro or will Poco tune software and services to differentiate it? We'll find out when the devices hit the stage next week, but the Play Console leak already reduces the mystery around performance and display chops.
