Xiaomi has launched its first-ever mini tablet in Malaysia with the official debut of the Xiaomi Pad Mini. Designed to be a new benchmark for portability and light productivity, this device is a compelling blend of powerful performance, vibrant visuals, and advanced AI features, all housed in a compact and ergonomic form. The Xiaomi Pad Mini is a strategic move by the brand to cater to a new segment of users who demand flagship-level technology in a device that is easy to carry and use with one hand.
At the core of the Xiaomi Pad Mini’s appeal is its stunning 8.8-inch 3K crystal-clear display. With a high resolution of 3008×1880 and a pixel density of 403 ppi, the screen delivers razor-sharp text and vibrant images that are a joy to look at. The display also features an impressive adaptive refresh rate of up to 165Hz, ensuring that every interaction—from scrolling through social media to sketching with a stylus—feels incredibly smooth and responsive. The visual experience is further enhanced by Dolby Vision and a peak brightness of 700 nits, which ensures visibility even under intense sunlight. To protect users’ eyes during prolonged use, the display is equipped with full DC Dimming and holds triple eye care certifications from TÜV Rheinland for Low Blue Light (Hardware Solution), Flicker-Free, and Circadian Friendly.
The design of the Xiaomi Pad Mini is as impressive as its display. Crafted for comfortable single-handed usage, it measures just 132.03mm in width and features a metal unibody design with a micro-arc middle frame that rests naturally in your palm. Weighing just 326g and measuring a mere 6.46mm thin, it’s a device that balances elegance with practicality. This structural harmony is a result of a new SoC-centered build, the first of its kind on an Android tablet, where key components like speakers, the battery, and motors are symmetrically arranged around the processor to improve overall balance and grip. The immersive experience is completed with dual stereo speakers that support Dolby Atmos, delivering rich, high-fidelity audio.
Powering the Xiaomi Pad Mini is the cutting-edge MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ processor, built on a 3nm process. This gives the tablet an unmatched performance for multitasking, browsing, and on-device AI capabilities. The device comes with up to 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 512GB of UFS 4.1 storage, ensuring that apps launch quickly and the system remains fluid. The tablet also supports Wi-Fi 7 connectivity, providing a fast and stable network experience.
The Xiaomi Pad Mini is also built for endurance. A massive 7500mAh battery provides up to 19.28 hours of reading or 15.5 hours of continuous video playback. When it’s time to charge, 67W HyperCharge ensures rapid top-ups. A unique and useful feature is the up to 18W wired reverse charging, which allows the tablet to be used as a power bank to charge other devices. The tablet also comes with a dual Type-C ports configuration, with the long side supporting USB 3.2 Gen 1 data transfer for versatile functionality.
To unlock a new level of productivity and creativity, the Xiaomi Pad Mini features Xiaomi HyperAI, a suite of advanced tools including AI Writing, AI Speech Recognition, AI Interpreter, and AI Art. These tools, along with Google Gemini and Circle to Search with Google, make the tablet a powerful companion for everything from brainstorming and note-taking to complex calculations and instant language translation. The user experience is further enhanced with the optional Xiaomi Focus Pen, which offers a natural writing experience with millisecond-level low latency and high-pressure sensitivity.
