Emir BardakçıThe wait is finally over! At the monumental 2025 Lei Jun Annual Speech and Xiaomi 17 Series Launch, the highly anticipated Xiaomi Pad 8 and Pad 8 Pro were officially unveiled. This new series emphasizes a seamless, PC-level productivity experience, all while delivering top-tier performance and features. Both tablets feature an impressive 11.2-inch 3.2K high-definition eye-protection panel, making them perfect for both work and play. The new series is confirmed for a global release, bringing these incredible devices to our loyal fans worldwide.
A Display That Redefines Clarity and Comfort
Both the Xiaomi Pad 8 and Pad 8 Pro feature a stunning 11.2-inch 144Hz IPS LCD display with a 3200×2136 resolution and a 3:2 aspect ratio. This offers a silky-smooth experience whether you’re scrolling through websites or sketching with a stylus. The display boasts a maximum brightness of 800 nits, along with support for P3 wide color gamut and HDR10.
A standout feature is the optional Soft Light Version. These models utilize AG anti-glare nano-etching technology on the surface to create a matte, soft visual experience. This technology can eliminate up to 99% of interfering light and reduce screen reflectivity by 70%, which is a huge win for anyone who spends long hours in front of a screen. This, combined with the dual front and rear light sensors and rhythmic eye protection, provides a truly paper-like reading and writing experience that is exceptionally eye-friendly.
Power and Design: A Perfect Harmony
The Xiaomi Pad 8 series continues Xiaomi’s tradition of sleek, modern design. The body is a unibody integrated metal material, with no antenna bands cluttering the middle frame. At just 5.75mm thin and weighing as little as 485g, these tablets are incredibly portable and comfortable to hold. A magnetic design near the front camera allows for convenient attachment and fast charging of the stylus. The USB-C interface is located at the bottom of the body.
The tablets feature a redesigned camera module, a rounded rectangle with a smoked black finish that matches the design language of the Xiaomi 13 series. The Xiaomi Pad 8 is powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, while the Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro comes equipped with the more powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite mobile platform. Both processors are compatible with PC gaming engines and can run PC-grade applications like WPS Office PC, proving their versatility for both work and entertainment.
