The Xiaomi Pad Mini drops into the compact-tablet fight with a focus on on-the-go productivity. This is Xiaomi’s first global “mini” flagship tablet, packing an 8.8-inch 3K panel, a balanced metal build, and a toolkit of HyperAI features that make note-taking, translating, and quick edits feel surprisingly breezy.
Vivid 3K display, tuned for eyes and ears
The 8.8-inch screen pushes a 3008 x 1880 resolution at up to 165Hz, so text looks razor-sharp and UI scrolls like butter. It supports Dolby Vision with 700-nit HBM brightness, plus DC dimming and triple TUV Rheinland certifications (Low Blue Light hardware solution, Flicker-Free, Circadian Friendly) to keep eye strain down. Dual stereo speakers with Hi-Res/Hi-Res Wireless and Dolby Atmos round out a compact slate that still sounds big.
Pocketable hardware, smarter balance
At just 132.03 mm wide and 6.46 mm thin, the metal unibody lands in that sweet spot for single-handed use without feeling cramped. A SoC-centered design places the battery, speakers, and other components symmetrically around the chipset, improving in-hand balance when you’re reading, sketching, or gaming in portrait. The 16:10 aspect ratio favors vertical feeds and docs while staying roomy for video.
3nm punch, long life, flexible I/O
Under the hood, MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ (3nm) teams up with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage for snappy app launches and strong multi-core bursts. A 7500mAh battery targets a full day of mixed work and streaming, and 67W HyperCharge gets you back fast. Handy extras include 18W wired reverse charging and dual USB-C ports—one on the long side supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 for quicker data moves and peripherals.
HyperAI tools, pen support, and the little pro touches
Running Xiaomi HyperOS with Xiaomi HyperAI, the tablet brings AI Writing, Speech Recognition, Interpreter, AI Art, and Calculator into a light-productivity workflow. Google Gemini is integrated, and Circle to Search with Google is supported for instant lookups. For creators, the Xiaomi Focus Pen (millisecond-level latency and high pressure sensitivity) turns the Mini into a pocket notepad; an optional cover adds protection and a secure wrist loop.
Wrapping it up, Xiaomi positions Pad Mini as a do-more-anywhere slate for students, commuters, and coffee-shop creators. It ships in Gray or Purple with 8GB+256GB or 12GB+512GB options, Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 on board, and a 13MP rear plus 8MP front camera setup. Pricing starts at USD 429, with regional availability to follow.
