Xiaomi's upcoming Pad 9 Pro has surfaced on Geekbench, revealing key hardware details ahead of an expected launch.
The listing shows the tablet will be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset and run Android 17.
A device with model number 2612CRPFFC appeared on Geekbench, matching a model number from an earlier specs leak tied to the Pad 9 Pro.
The chip appears under Qualcomm's QTI SM8845P identifier with an octa-core setup: two cores at 3.80GHz and six cores at 3.32GHz.
It is paired with an Adreno 829 GPU, and the tested unit carries 12GB of RAM.
On Geekbench 7, the device scored 2,075 points in the single-core test and 8,750 points in the multi-core test.
These results come from an early unit, so scores could change with final software and retail firmware.
Rumored specs and lineup position
The Geekbench listing does not reveal much about the rest of the hardware, but recent leaks have filled in some details.
The tablet is expected to feature a 12.1-inch LCD with a 3.2K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate.
It could also pack an 11,000mAh battery with support for 67W wired charging, which would be larger than the current Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro's 9,200mAh battery.
The Pad 8 Pro comes with an 11.2-inch display and a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, and Xiaomi brought it to global markets in February.
The new listing also gives a better idea of where the Pad 9 Pro will sit in Xiaomi's tablet lineup.
The Pad 9 Pro Max is the top-tier model with Xiaomi's own Xring O3 chip, already available in China with a larger 13.3-inch display and a bigger battery.
The Pad 9 Pro, meanwhile, will offer Qualcomm's flagship chip in a smaller and potentially more affordable tablet.
With its model number now appearing on Geekbench, Xiaomi's official announcement may not be far away.
