Xiaomi just announced the new Xiaomi Pad 6 and 6 Pro, a pair of high-end tablets for those who demand more for their work, school, or entertainment needs.
Announced alongside the lavish Xiaomi 13 Ultra, the new Xiaomi Pad 6 and 6 Pro come with updated hardware and a new design language similar to the Xiaomi 13 and 13 Pro.
Both models are the same in size as they have 11-inch IPS FHD+ displays. The panel has a 144Hz refresh rate and Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection.
The more expensive model also boasts a more powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 flagship processor while the vanilla Xiaomi Pad 6 settles for a still-powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 processor.
Going for the Pro model also entitles you to a sharper 50-megapixel main camera and 20-megapixel selfie snapper, versus the non-Pro’s 13-megapixel and 8-megapixel front and rear cameras, respectively. The former also gets to have a secondary 2-megapixel depth sensor.
It also boasts 67W charging, which is twice as fast as the 33W on the Pad 6. Albeit, the vanilla model has a bigger 8,840mAh battery compared to the Pro’s 8,600mAh.
