Xiaomi recently held an event in China where it launched a new tablet called Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro and a flagship smartphone, Xiaomi 14 Ultra. The former is another addition to the existing Xiaomi Pad 6 series that comprises standard, pro, and max variants.
The Pad 6S Pro packs a few upgrades and there are quite some differences between the newest model and the existing ones.
The Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro has the same design as the other Pad 6 series models. It has a flat frame and a square camera module on the rear. The tablet is compatible with accessories like a magnetic keyboard and a stylus.
On the display front, the Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro sports a 12.4-inch screen bearing a 3K resolution, a 144Hz refresh rate, and 900 nits peak brightness. This is an upgrade compared to the existing models in the lineup. In terms of audio, the device is equipped with eight speakers tuned by Dolby Audio.
Coming to the optics, the Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro retains the dual rear camera setup of a 50MP main sensor and a 2MP depth lens. It has a 20MP front-facing selfie sensor but lacks a 3D ToF unit found on the Max sibling.
Under the hood, the Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro houses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor. It packs up to 16GB RAM and 1TB storage. The tablet draws its power from a 10,000mAh battery unit with support for 120W fast charging. Software-wise, the Pad 6S Pro is the first from Xiaomi to ship with pre-installed HyperOS out of the box.
Connectivity options on the Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro include a USB-C port, WiFi-7, Bluetooth 5.3, and more.
