89.2% Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro Review: An excellent Snapdragon 8 Elite tablet for a low price | Notebookcheck
The new Pad 8 Pro premium tablet from Xiaomi is once again a contender for the price-performance throne. Compared to an Apple iPad Air or Galaxy Tab S11, the Pad 8 Pro seems quite affordable despite offering the best hardware. We find out how well the Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro with HyperOS 3 performs in our review.
Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro Specifications, Pros and Cons
Source: OI Spice Tech News English
The Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro was announced and released in September 2025. On the front display, you will get an 11.2-inch IPS LCD with a sharp 2136 x 3200 pixel resolution and a fast 144Hz refresh rate. Here, you will also get HDR10, Dolby Vision, and 800 nits peak brightness, which is great for a mid-range tablet. Following this, the company also added a premium all-aluminum build and a dedicated magnetic stylus support. Besides this, the slim 5.8 mm profile with a weight of 485 grams makes it easy to carry and handle. Performance is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset built on a 3 nm process, paired with Adreno 830 graphics. Usually, the octa-core CPU can provide up to 4.32GHz clocking speed. This much power delivers flagship-level performance, though it may show minor thermal throttling under heavy load.
