Xiaomi has officially revealed the design and key specifications of its upcoming Pad 9 Pro Max tablet, set to launch in China on September 7.
The tablet will debut alongside the Xiaomi 18 Fold and introduces several hardware and software upgrades aimed at making it a more capable PC alternative.
Display and performance
The Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro Max features a 13.3-inch LCD display, offering a larger canvas for work and content creation.
It is the first Xiaomi tablet to be powered by the in-house Xring O3 flagship processor, which promises desktop-class performance.
The Xring O3 chip uses a 10-core all-big-core CPU configuration with a maximum clock speed of 4.35GHz.
It also includes a 16-core G2-Ultra NX GPU, which Xiaomi claims delivers an 85% improvement in graphics performance while reducing power consumption by 64% compared to the previous generation.
Some reported GPU benchmark results have even surpassed Apple's A19 Pro, though real-world performance remains to be seen.
Software and other features
The tablet will debut HyperOS 4, optimized for large-screen productivity scenarios.
Combined with support for PC-level applications, the setup could make the Pad 9 Pro Max more suitable for office work and creative tasks.
A soft-light display variant is also expected to be unveiled.
The device is tipped to feature a battery exceeding 10,000mAh with support for 120W wired charging.
Storage options may include 512GB and 1TB, with the tablet weighing around 650 grams.
