Along with the Xiaomi 15 and 15 Pro, Xiaomi has launched the Xiaomi Pad 7 series in China. This series includes the regular Pad 7 and the Pad 7 Pro, both designed to deliver a high-end tablet experience with remarkable specifications and flexible productivity features. Let’s look deeper into the specifics of this eagerly awaited tablet lineup.
Specifications of the Xiaomi Pad 7 Series
The Xiaomi Pad 7 series features an 11.2-inch LCD display with a resolution of 3200 x 2136 pixels, translating to a density of 345ppi. With a refresh rate of 144Hz, it ensures fluid visuals whether you’re watching videos or gaming.
The display can achieve a peak brightness of 800 nits. There’s also an optional Nano Matte screen available for those who want to minimize glare, thanks to AG nano-texture and AR optical coating. This coating decreases glare by 99% and reduces reflectivity by 65%, which makes reading and writing much more comfortable.
Performance and Software
The regular Pad 7 comes with a third-generation Snapdragon 7+ processor, allowing for smooth multitasking and solid performance. The Pro variant upgrades this to the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor, making it more powerful for professional applications and gaming. Xiaomi’s HyperCore software-hardware system enhances performance, improving cold start speed by 13% and multitasking efficiency by 69%.
Both models run on Xiaomi’s new HyperOS 2, which enhances multitasking. This system introduces a desktop mode that mimics a desktop interface, along with a cross-device clipboard that syncs information between Xiaomi phones, tablets, and computers.
Camera and Battery Life
In terms of cameras, the standard Pad 7 has an 8MP front camera and a 13MP rear camera. Meanwhile, the Pad 7 Pro features a 32MP front camera and a 50MP rear camera for high-quality images. This camera system ensures clear video calls while AI enhancements help improve image quality in different lighting situations.
The Xiaomi Pad 7 series is supported by an 8850mAh battery, giving users long-lasting battery life. The standard Pad 7 supports 45W fast charging, while the Pad 7 Pro takes it up a notch with 67W fast charging.
