Xiaomi has two new tablets, the Xiaomi Pad 9 and Pad 9 Pro.
The Xiaomi Pad 9 has an 11.2-inch screen, while the Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro has a bigger 12.5-inch display. Both have the same 3.2K LCD, with a 3200 x 2136 pixel resolution, a high 144Hz refresh rate, a 3:2 aspect ratio, 12-bit color, HDR10, and Dolby Vision. They even have wet-touch support, which we used to only see on smartphones.
Having a larger screen meant the Pad 9 Pro got to have a bigger battery. It has an 11,000mAh capacity, with faster 67W wired charging support, while the vanilla Pad 9 has a 9,720mAh with 45W charging.
Apart from their sizes, the two also differ in performance. The Pro model has a more powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, while the Pad 9 rocks a sub-flagship Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip.
For the cameras, you’re getting a 50-megapixel rear and 32-megapixel front cameras on the Pro model, while the Pad 9 settles for 13-megapixel and 8-megapixel sensors, respectively.
They run on HyperOS 4.0, sitting on top of Android 17. You can get them with a keyboard case and stylus.
The Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro has a starting price of CNY3,799 (~Php35,500) while the Pad 9 starts at CNY2,999 (~Php28,100). Both come in a Soft Light version with an anti-glare display coating. Sales are currently limited in China.
