Xiaomi Pad 7S Pro launches as high-end tablet with powerful chipset starting at ~$460
After releasing the Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra in China last month, Xiaomi has now promptly followed it up with a new premium tablet—the Xiaomi Pad 7S Pro. The Pad 7S Pro sits below the Pad 7 Ultra in Xiaomi's lineup, but above models like the Xiaomi Pad 7 and Pad 7 Pro. Much like the Pad 7 Ultra, it's powered by the company's XRing O1 chipset—making it the third device to feature the SoC—albeit in a slightly less powerful guise than previous implementations.
Xiaomi's new tablet sports a 12.5-inch 3.2K 144 Hz LCD, with the company opting to keep its OLED exclusive to the more premium Pad 7 Ultra. In addition to the already powerful XRing O1, the Pad 7S Pro can be equipped with up to 16 GB of LPDDR5T RAM and 1 TB of UFS 4.1 storage. Xiaomi is marketing the tablet as a productivity-focused device, with features including "Remote Control PC", cross-platform file transfer, and a "PC-level floating keyboard" with long key travel and a "full-range, pressure-sensitive touchpad".
Other features of the 5.8mm thick Xiaomi Pad 7S Pro include a 50 MP rear camera, 32 MP selfie snapper, 10,610 mAh battery, 120 W charging, a side-mounted fingerprint reader, six speakers, Dolby Atmos support, four microphones, Wi-Fi 7, USB 3.2 Gen 1, an IR blaster, and HyperOS 2. The tablet will be available in four colorways—Black, Titanium, Purple, and Cambrian Gray.
The Pad 7S Pro is available in five SKUs, with pricing as follows:
- 8/256 GB - CNY 3,299 ($460)
- 12/256 GB - CNY 3,599 ($500)
