Xiaomi Pad 7 and Pad 7 Pro debut with 11.2-inch 144 Hz 3.2K display

Aside from the much-anticipated Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro, at its event in China today Xiaomi also unveiled the Pad 7 and Pad 7 Pro. These are almost flagship tablets, but not quite, since they"re using upper-midrange chipsets: the Pad 7 goes with the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3, and the Pad 7 Pro is powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3.

They both have an 11.2" 3200x2136 LCD touchscreen with 3:2 aspect ratio, 144 Hz refresh rate, and 800-nit peak brightness, and an 8,850 mAh battery, but whereas the "vanilla" model charges at up to 45W, the Pro goes up to 67W.

The Pad 7 has a 13 MP rear camera and an 8 MP front-facing camera, while the Pro has a 50 MP rear one and a 32 MP front-facing shooter. Both models run Xiaomi"s HyperOS 2, presumably on top of Android 15, although that hasn"t been confirmed yet. You do get a side-mounted fingerprint sensor on both.

Both tablets come in 8/128GB, 8/256GB, and 12/256GB RAM/storage combos, the Pro also has an exclusive 12/512GB version. The measurements are identical between the Pad 7 and Pad 7 Pro: 251.22 x 173.42 x 6.18 mm, and each one weighs exactly 500g. They are both going to be available in black, blue, and green.

The Pad 7 will start at CNY 1,999 (approximately $280 at the current exchange rates).
