Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro Specifications
The tablet is expected to feature an 11.2-inch LCD and a large battery with support for 67W fast charging. Powering the device will be the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, while on the software side, it will run Xiaomi’s HyperOS 3.
A new Xiaomi device with model number 25091RP04C appeared on Geekbench last week, scoring 2831 in single-core tests and 9260 in multi-core. The listing also shows 16GB of RAM and Android 16. The device is believed to be the upcoming Pad 8 Pro.
Xiaomi is also adding tools to make the tablet function more like a laptop. These include a new split-screen layout, a PC-level browser, and support for productivity apps such as WPS, CAJ, and CAD. The company is preparing accessories as well, including a keyboard and a new stylus, to expand its productivity use cases.
Xiaomi may reveal more details about the Pad very soon. Lu Weibing, the company’s partner and brand president, is set to host a livestream tonight at CST 7 PM to address popular questions about the upcoming Xiaomi 17 series phones. The session could also bring fresh news on the Pad 8 lineup.
