Just received my Xiaomi Redmi Pad 2 tablet. 12.1" screen with 6GB RAM 128GB SD memory for US$232. CPU is the snapdragon 7 gen 4. Here is a screen recording of operating 2 copies of jwlibrary. The speed is respectable for a low cost tablet. JWLibrary-2-copies.mp4

You are right. Most of the time it works as you described. However, in some cases it doesn't work. I can't identify when though. Its most frustrating during the book study or WT study when you lose your place in the publication.😅

In a normal android phone, you can only open jwlibrary once. However, if the speaker quotes a scripture not in the studied subject your would have to lose your place in the study (either in the CLMM or WT study) to look up the scripture. Being able to open a 2nd copy of the jwlirary app allows you to use the 2nd copy of jwlibrary to look up scriptures without affecting your place in the studied subject. On my Xiaomi 13T phone, the feature to open 2 copies of an app is called dual app. I was hoping that with a larger 12.1" screen, I can then open the 2 copies of jwlibrary side by side for convenience. Check out this post about the subject.

I finally bought the 12.1" Xiaomi Redmi Pad 2 Pro 6GB RAM 128GB SD memory for US$232 instead of US$250 due to a 10.10 offer. I didn't think it was worth it to pay US$100 more (or 43%) to upgrade to a 8GB RAM 256GB memory model for future proofing. This tablet was just released on 2025, September 24 and Xiaomi have committed to 4 years of Android updates. I hope to have 2 copies or instances of jwlibrary side by side on the tablet. If the 6GB RAM is too little to allow that then I'll have to stick to one copy of jwlibrary on the tablet.😅

Thanks. My primary machine is a Windows 11 PC and the tablet is just for use at the meetings and maybe field service. I was attracted by the 12.1" screen. Saw some brothers using a large screen tablet at the meetings so was enticed by it.😁 Upgrading to the same model with 8GB RAM 256GB SD memory would cost another US$100. My old Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 4GB RAM 64GB SD memory is very slow now and started to get difficult to open scriptures. Have to tap on the scripture link many times to open scriptures.😅

Thanks. I checked that the Xiaomi Redmi Pad 2 Pro runs Android 15.

I'm planning to buy the Xiaomi Redmi Pad 2 Pro tablet. It has a 12.1" QHD screen 6GB RAM, 128GB SD storage, 12,000mah battery. The CPU is snapdragon 7 Gen 4 and the tablet costs US$250 with 1 year warranty. Wonder if anyone is using 6GB of RAM and running JWLibrary?
