Overview
- Xiaomi's Pad 9 Pro Max, which launched on Monday in China, is a 13.3‑inch 3.4K (3408 x 2272) tablet with a 144Hz LCD panel rated to 1,000 nits and a 3:2 aspect ratio for productivity and media use.
- The device is powered by Xiaomi's self‑developed Xring O3 SoC, which the company says is built on a 3nm process with a 10‑core CPU and four‑core NPU and claims near‑M5 desktop performance, but those performance claims have not yet been independently verified.
- Battery and charging focus on long use and fast top‑ups: the tablet includes a 12,000 mAh battery with support for 120W wired charging plus 27W reverse wired and 45W pogo‑pin reverse charging for accessories.
- Xiaomi priced the Pad 9 Pro Max in China from CNY 4,799 for 8GB/256GB up to CNY 7,899 for 16GB/1TB, offers options such as a Nano Soft Light Screen and a floating keyboard accessory, and has not confirmed international availability.
- Hardware aims at multimedia and productivity with a 50MP rear camera with OIS, a 32MP front camera, an eight‑speaker/ six‑microphone array, Wi‑Fi 7 and USB‑C with DisplayPort‑in, and the launch underlines Xiaomi's move to use proprietary chips to compete in higher‑end tablet markets.
