Xiaomi Pad Mini
Xiaomi's Pad Mini is the global version of the China-market Redmi K Pad: an 8.8-inch 3K LCD running up to 165Hz, the MediaTek Dimensity 9400+, a 7,500mAh battery with 67W charging, and dual USB-C ports in a 326g metal body. It is sold in select markets in Asia and the Middle East rather than the US.
Pros

- 7,500mAh battery with 67W wired and 18W reverse charging, and long battery life in review testing
- Two USB-C ports (one USB 3.2 Gen 1) and support for the magnetic Xiaomi Focus Pen
- Light, 6.46mm-thick aluminum unibody weighing 326g, designed for one-handed use
Cons
- Sold officially only in select markets in Asia and the Middle East, with no Xiaomi US store listing

- Wi-Fi only, with no cellular model and no GPS module
- Xiaomi Focus Pen and cover are sold separately, and there is no dedicated keyboard accessory
