The realme Pad features rounded corners and flat sides, as well as a matte-finished metal back panel. It features a fine silver strip running horizontally across the back, going across the rear camera.
When holding the tablet in landscape mode, the USB Type-C port is on the right side, while the headphone jack is curiously located on the right corner, which may get in the way when holding the tablet.
Unfortunately there is no fingerprint reader on this tablet which is kind of sad but it does supports face recognition for quick unlocking. There are two speakers on each on side of the tablet and the microSD card tray in the middle.

Overall, the realme Tab is a premium-looking tablet with a clean back panel and a camera that is strategically placed at the corner of the device with a silver strip.
Display
the realme Tab features a 10.4-inch Full WUXGA+ display with 2000 x 1200 pixel resolution, with 82.5% screen-to-body ratio. The bezels are visible from all angles but are not obtrusive.

This tablet's large screen is suitable for watching movies, browsing the web, reading eBooks, and playing games, and its corner selfie camera makes it an ideal gadget for video conference or online learning.
To deliver a great audiovisual performance, the tablet features a 4 speakers for Dolby Atmos with supports for DTS HD. While the speakers are fairly good for watching movies and playing games, we prefer to use the 3.5mm jack with our favorite headphones for a more immersive experience

The realme Tab is powered by MediaTek Helio G80 gaming chipset, clocked up to 2.0GHz, with eight CPU cores paired with Mali-G52 MC2 GPU, with up to 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage that is expandable via microSD card.

For those who love benchmark, below is the realme Tab performance:
AnTuTu – 212,133
Geekbench – 351 (Single-core); 1,335 (Multi-core); 1,169 (OpenCL)
3D Mark – 182 (Wild Life); 1397 (Wild Life Extreme)
PC Mark – 8,365 (Work 3.0)
When it comes to performance the realme Pad can handle multitasking smoothly, our daily task includes meetings via Zoom, web browsing, playing our fave shooting games, and binge watching Korean TV show on Netflix.
Gaming performance on a tablet is good; Call of Duty Mobile: Mobile is playable on medium settings, although we did notice a few hitches while playing Pokémon Unite and Genshin Impact, so we adjusted the graphics settings to low, and the gameplay is now smooth.
Connectivity-wise, the realme Pad comes with the standard Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, Wi-Fi and USB Type-C.
"The realme Pad is an excellent multimedia tablet with a Full WUXGA+ display and Dolby Atmos speaker, as well as a very capable Helio G80 gaming Chipset that is capable of handling daily tasks while still providing excellent gaming performance."
realme UI
Out of the box, it runs on realme IU for Pad on top of Android 11, which is designed specifically for entertainment and gaming. The interface is simple, and there is no bloatware installed, which is a plus since the device only has limited amount of internal storage.
The realme IU for Pad features a straightforward layout and provides a seamless user experience. It's fast and responsive, and with the realme IU, it's simple to move around the menus, and the app's icon is visually appealing.
Cameras
This tablet is equipped with a single 8-megapixel camera sensor on both the back and the front. The camera is not actually intended for photography, but rather for video conferencing.

The camera functions well during our Zoom meetings; we have crystal-clear video broadcast across the conference, and because this tablet is lightweight, moving about is not an issue while on video call. We just wish we could find a good case for this tablet that includes a built-in stand.
Battery Life
The realme Pad is equipped with a large 7,100mAh battery with 18W fast charger. On a single full charge, the battery provides two days' worth of use. On our video loop test It lasted 13 hours and 56 minutes which involves continuously playing of a 1080p video at 50% brightness, 50% volume level.
Using the provided 18W charger, charging the battery takes about 3 hours to full charge it from 1% to 100% capacity.
Pros
Nice Built quality
Slim Profile
Wide display
Great for entertainment
Good performance
Long battery life
Cons
