Poco is readying itself for one of the most interesting product launches of the year: the upcoming Poco F8 series, Poco Pad X1, and, of course, the heavily leaked Poco Pad M1 will all drop together on November 26, 2025. Of these, the Poco Pad M1 has been making headlines for packing the biggest battery at 12,000mAh, a 120Hz display, and a more performance-oriented Snapdragon chipset.
The Poco Pad M1 is designed for entertainment lovers, students, and productivity users, promising top-notch features at budget-friendly pricing. Here’s a close look at everything you need to know before it goes on sale.
A Big Tablet With a Big Display
The Poco Pad M1 sports a large 12.1-inch LCD display with a 2.5K resolution of 2560 × 1600 and a smooth refresh rate of 120Hz. Its large screen size makes it suitable for binge-watching or gaming, browsing, or reading. The high refresh rate feature means quick touch response and fluid animations to enhance the multimedia experience.
Poco is positioning this tablet for users who want to have a large-screen device for entertainment, online classes, productivity apps, and even light gaming. With slimmer bezels and an ergonomic design, the Pad M1 manages to strike a good balance between portability and usability.
Power That Lasts: 12,000mAh Battery
One of the biggest highlights of the Poco Pad M1 has to be its 12,000mAh battery, which is amongst the biggest in its segment. This ensures outstanding endurance, very easily lasting for a full day or even two for that matter with mixed usage. Be it attending continuous classes or binge-watching movies, or working on documents continuously, battery anxiety just becomes a thing of the past.
The tablet further supports 33W fast charging to quickly top up the large battery when needed.
Smooth Performance from Snapdragon 7s Gen 4
Under the hood, the Poco Pad M1 is tipped to pack the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset. This processor will feature a good balance between performance and efficiency for gaming, multitasking, as well as normal app use.
The device comes with LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 2.2 storage for fast app loading and smooth system performance. The tablet is also expected to offer expandable storage via microSD, great for users who want to store offline videos, documents, or games.
In terms of the software, the Pad M1 will be shipped with HyperOS 2 based on Android 15; this promises even smoother animations, better optimization, and longer software support.
