The upcoming tablet from POCO has just taken a massive step toward its global release. The POCO C Pad has officially passed FCC certification under the model number 2AFZZPC14G, signaling that its international debut is just around the corner.
As predicted by XimiTime two months ago, internal documentation confirms that the POCO C Pad is a strategic global rebrand of the REDMI Pad 2 9.7 (model number 2603ARP14G). This aligns perfectly with Xiaomi’s established distribution strategy: utilizing a proven hardware base from the REDMI Pad SE 2 and optimizing it for global markets under the POCO banner.
Technical Specifications & Gaming Performance
The POCO C Pad is designed to be a highly capable, budget-friendly entertainment hub. It will be available in two distinct, official finishes: Pantone Cool Gray and Pantone Red, maintaining the bold visual identity POCO and REDMI fans have come to expect.
Under the hood, the tablet is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6s 4G Gen 2 processor. Built on an efficient 6nm manufacturing process, this chip delivers significantly better thermal management and sustained performance compared to older 12nm architectures. A Wi-Fi-only variant will also be released alongside the 4G model.
For gamers on a budget, this 6nm chipset is optimized to handle popular mobile titles with respectable frame rates:
-
Mobile Legends: Bang Bang: ~55 FPS
-
PUBG Mobile: ~48 FPS
-
Call of Duty Mobile: ~42 FPS
-
Free Fire Max: ~27 FPS
While it steps down slightly from the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 found in the standard POCO Pad, the 6s 4G Gen 2 remains incredibly power-efficient for media consumption and daily multitasking.

What This Means for Users
The introduction of the POCO C Pad fills a crucial gap in the entry-level tablet market. By offering a fluid 120Hz display and the cutting-edge Xiaomi HyperOS 3 (based on the upcoming Android 16) out of the box, POCO is ensuring long-term software relevance. The 7,600 mAh battery combined with a 6nm processor guarantees multi-day battery life for casual users and students.
While official pricing has not been disclosed yet, the 18W charging cap and the “C” series moniker strongly suggest this will be one of the most aggressively priced tablets in POCO’s global lineup.
