The Pad 2 has a larger 12.1-inch 3K display, up from 11.6 inches, while retaining the 7:5 aspect ratio, making it taller and wider. The screen now supports a 144Hz adaptive refresh rate and features 900 nits brightness, significantly brighter than before.
The tablet also includes six stereo speakers, potentially improving the audio quality of the previous model.

Cameras
