Budget Tablets in the Rp2 Million Range Now Punch Above Their Price

The Rp2 million Android tablet tier in Indonesia now ships with displays, storage, and chips that lived on mid-range slates a year ago. The Infinix XPAD WiFi 4GB/256GB anchors that shift, with an authorized retail listing in Indonesia putting the WiFi-only model at Rp 2.050.000. Three specs now define the entry tier: an 11-inch full-HD+ IPS LCD at 90Hz, 256GB of internal storage, and a MediaTek Helio G99 chip.

Gizmologi reported Tokopedia sellers pricing the XPAD at around Rp2.1 million when it debuted in Indonesia on 27 August 2024, Infinix’s first tablet in the country. Head of Marketing Sergio Ticoalu pitched it on push-rank gaming and what the brand calls ‘kombinasi spek untuk kebutuhan push rank tanpa batas dengan harga yang kompetitif.’ The XPAD shares that price tier with the Xiaomi Redmi Pad SE and the Itel Vista Tab, the two models Gizmologi lists alongside it as the closest peers. The whole bracket has tilted up; almost every spec the Infinix XPAD WiFi now carries was a mid-range marker in 2023.

What the Rp2 Million Bracket Now Buys

The bracket has always been crowded. What has changed is the floor of what it offers. Three specs now travel together across entry-tier listings: an 11-inch 90Hz full-HD+ panel, storage that tops 128GB without an upcharge, and a Helio G99-class chip that does not buckle under everyday multitasking. The Infinix XPAD WiFi 4GB/256GB carries all three.

Indonesian retailer listings have placed the XPAD at Rp 2.050.000 since launch, with Gizmologi observing Tokopedia sellers posting around Rp2.1 million at debut. Each of those figures individually used to belong one tier up; together they sit inside a Rp 2 million body. The XPAD WiFi ships Android 14, 256GB of internal storage expandable to 1TB through microSD, and a 7000mAh battery with 18W charging.

The XPAD also runs Folax, a voice assistant Gizmologi reports draws on ChatGPT for answering questions and handling tasks. An 8MP rear shooter with single flash, an 8MP front camera with dual flash, and four speakers with Dolby Atmos round out the package. The metal chassis comes in Titan Gold, Frost Blue, or Stellar Grey, and the whole device weighs 496g.

The Helio G99 Effect on Budget Tablets

The MediaTek Helio G99 anchors more budget tablets in 2026 than almost any other chip. The Nanoreview database lists it as an 8-core SoC announced on 23 May 2022, manufactured on a 6-nanometer process, with two Cortex-A76 cores running at 2200 MHz and six Cortex-A55 cores at 2000 MHz. That combination gives the chip enough headroom for 90Hz UI rendering and 1080p video at modest power draw, exactly the workload budget tablet buyers ask of it. The chip’s full architecture and benchmark scores put the Helio G99 ahead of every other entry-tier part still in circulation.

• CPU cores: 2x Cortex-A76 at 2200 MHz plus 6x Cortex-A55 at 2000 MHz
• Manufacturing process: 6nm TSMC FinFET
• Modem: 4G LTE Cat. 13, up to 650 Mbps download, 150 Mbps upload
• Connectivity: Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.2
• GPU: Mali-G57 MP2 at 1000 MHz with Vulkan 1.3

The Helio G99 was never designed as a budget chip, but its age is now its advantage. By 2024, MediaTek had cycled newer parts through more expensive tiers, leaving the G99 to anchor entry-level and lower mid-range devices. That gave tablet makers a chip with enough capability to drive 90Hz panels, multiple storage tiers, and LTE modems without inflating bill-of-materials cost.

The Versus.com XPAD review describes the G99 as “Perfect for everyday gaming” and flags its optimisation as a reason to consider it. Infinix explicitly tuned the XPAD for gaming, working with Garena to optimise Free Fire for the chip. That choice has carried through; by mid-2026, the G99 still shows up in tablets priced well below Rp3 million.

Helio G99’s ISP supports up to a 108MP single camera and 2K video at 30fps, which lines up exactly with the XPAD’s 8MP sensor and 2K/30fps video capture. The chip’s storage controller supports UFS 2.2, another reason budget tablets can advertise fast internal speeds without paying for newer standards.

Inside the Infinix XPAD WiFi Spec Sheet

Three specs tell the XPAD WiFi’s story. The 11-inch full-HD+ IPS LCD runs at 90Hz, which makes scrolling, reading long PDFs, and stylus work feel closer to a mid-range tablet than to a basic media slate. The MediaTek Helio G99 pairs with 4GB of RAM and 256GB of expandable storage, sized for offline study files, downloaded lectures, and sizeable app libraries. The 7000mAh battery ships with 18W fast charging that Gizmologi reports fills 50 percent in around 40 minutes.

A few features travel further than the price suggests. The chassis uses a metal body in three finishes (Titan Gold, Frost Blue, Stellar Grey) and weighs 496g at 257.07 x 168.62 x 7.58 mm, light enough to hold one-handed for a long study session. The Android 14 build is Infinix’s XOS skin with Folax, a voice assistant that Gizmologi reports draws on ChatGPT for answering questions and handling tasks.

The cameras do what they need to. An 8MP rear shooter with single flash and an 8MP front camera with dual flash can handle scans, video calls, and reference photos. Four speakers with Dolby Atmos back media playback. Video capture tops out at 2K at 30fps and 1080p at the same frame rate, which matches the G99’s ISP ceiling.

The WiFi-only Infinix XPAD sold in Indonesia differs from the LTE variant Price Shop Malaysia lists on two points. Indonesia gets the 4GB/256GB WiFi-only configuration. Malaysia’s launch paired it with an 8GB/256GB 4G LTE configuration, with both at 11-inch FHD+ IPS and 7000mAh battery.

The 4G LTE Decision

The Infinix XPAD WiFi is the WiFi-only model, and that is the variant Indonesian retailer listings centre on. A 4G LTE version exists. Price Shop Malaysia’s spec sheet for the Malaysian launch lists both variants at 11-inch FHD+ IPS, 90Hz refresh, 7000mAh battery, and quad speakers with Dolby Atmos. The LTE version adds 8GB of RAM and a cellular modem.

In Indonesia, the WiFi-only Infinix XPAD at around Rp 2.050.000 sits in a tier where several competitors offer 4G at similar prices. Xiaomi’s Redmi Pad SE has reached the Indonesian market in 4G-capable versions, and the Itel Vista Tab 30 ships with cellular across most configurations. Gizmologi named both as the closest peers to the XPAD at launch.

The trade-off between the two XPAD variants is RAM, not radio. The LTE version ships 8GB; the WiFi version ships 4GB. More RAM is useful when the tablet doubles as a work device, especially with multi-window apps and a paired keyboard. The 4G modem costs more than a price step up; it brings a meaningful RAM bump too.

Who Else Sits in the Band

The Infinix XPAD WiFi’s Rp2 million competitors in Indonesia are mostly familiar names. Gizmologi listed the Xiaomi Redmi Pad SE and the Itel Vista Tab as the closest peers at launch, and the Itel brand is owned by Transsion Holdings, the same parent as Infinix. That shared ownership means parts decisions track each other, and Itel typically lands in the same Rp1.5 to Rp2.5 million range as the XPAD.

The wider competition in 2026 runs deeper. Tablet-market reporting from Maximize Market Research valued the global category at USD 57.53 billion in 2025 with a 6.1 percent CAGR projected through 2032. Brands like Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei, and HONOR continue to push mid-range features down, which keeps pressure on entry-level pricing. Indodana listings show Infinix also stretching up into the gaming-tablet tier with the 13-inch XPAD GT at 2880 x 1840 resolution, so the brand now covers more of the bottom half of the tablet market than its 2024 launch suggested.

What the Infinix XPAD WiFi pairs that most Rp2 million rivals do not is the combination of a 90Hz panel and 256GB of storage at the same price. The Redmi Pad SE has shipped in 4G-capable versions and the Itel Vista Tab 30 Pro costs less, but neither consistently pairs 90Hz, 256GB, and the G99 chip without a price bump up.

HONOR’s 2025 global growth also matters in this bracket. Reports citing Omdia show HONOR posted the highest year-over-year growth of any major smartphone brand in 2025 (11 percent according to a Yahoo Finance summary), and that expansion has pushed HONOR tablets into more entry-tier slots. Buyers comparing Rp2 million options now have at least one more brand to weigh than they did two years ago.

Matching Tablet to Task

For buyers tied to a desk or home WiFi, the Infinix XPAD WiFi’s combination of 90Hz display, 256GB storage, and 7000mAh battery is hard to beat at the price. It handles study, video, light document work, and offline downloads with room to spare. Buyers who carry the tablet between cafes, classrooms, and field sites have a different priority; cellular beats refresh rate there, and the Redmi Pad SE 4G or Itel Vista Tab 30 LTE variants cover that role at a similar price.

Kombinasi spek untuk kebutuhan push rank tanpa batas dengan harga yang kompetitif, kami harap akan membuat XPAD jadi salah satu pilihan tablet paling kompetitif di kelasnya, bagi para XFans di Indonesia.

Sergio Ticoalu, Infinix Indonesia’s Head of Marketing, said the brand tuned the XPAD for sustained gaming and pushed for it to land at a competitive price. The Folax voice assistant, listed in the Infinix XPAD launch and Sergio Ticoalu’s push-rank pitch, is positioned as a study aid as much as a media feature. Infinix specifically pitched Free Fire optimisation as part of the same rollout.

For productivity, the XPAD accepts a Bluetooth keyboard and a separately sold stylus. Gizmologi notes the tablet supports keyboard pairing for typing and document work, the kind of accessory that turns a budget slate into a primary study device. Buyers who plan to type often should consider the keyboard as part of the total spend, not as optional.
