Xiaomi Pad Mini

Released Sep 24, 2025$429 launch priceTablet

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

  • Sharp 8.8-inch 3K (3008x1880) IPS LCD at 403ppi with up to 165Hz refresh and 700-nit peak brightness
  • Flagship-class MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ chip with up to 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 512GB of UFS 4.1 storage
  • 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
  • LCD rather than OLED, so blacks and contrast trail OLED rivals in review testing
  • 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
