The Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro has finally arrived globally, six months after its China debut. Packing the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, this tablet delivers premium performance with an 11.2-inch IPS LCD display featuring 3200 x 2136 resolution, 144Hz refresh rate, and support for HDR10+ and Dolby Vision. The device combines flagship hardware with UFS 4.1 storage, a 50MP rear camera, and a 9,200mAh battery supporting 67W fast charging.

Beyond impressive specs, the Pad 8 Pro runs HyperOS 3 with enhanced multi-tasking capabilities and AI features. Weighing just 485g with a slim 5.8mm profile, the tablet offers a premium feel with glass front, aluminum frame, and back. Xiaomi provides multiple configuration options ranging from 128GB/8GB RAM to 512GB/16GB RAM, though the 128GB model uses UFS 3.1 storage while others feature faster UFS 4.1.

Compared to its predecessor, the Pad 8 Pro represents a modest upgrade focusing primarily on the new chipset and slightly larger battery. The absence of a cellular version remains a notable limitation for some users. While the tablet ships with accessories like a USB-A-to-C cable, EU customers won't receive a charger in the box, though other regions include a 67W power adapter. This positions the Pad 8 Pro as a strong value proposition in the competitive tablet market.
