Xiaomi Pad Mini: The Pocket-Sized Tablet for Work and Play

Xiaomi is stepping boldly into the mini tablet category with the Xiaomi Pad Mini, now available in the Philippines. Compact yet powerful, the Pad Mini is designed for professionals, creators, and everyday users who demand productivity, portability, and performance in one sleek device.

At the heart of this innovation is an 8.8-inch 3K crystal-clear display (3008 x 1880 resolution, 403 ppi), offering razor-sharp text, vibrant visuals, and a fluid 165Hz adaptive refresh rate. Dolby Vision® support enriches contrast and detail, while 700-nit peak brightness ensures clarity in any light. TÜV Rheinland Low Blue Light, Flicker-Free, and Circadian Friendly certifications round out a comfortable viewing experience. For sound, dual stereo speakers enhanced by Dolby Atmos® and Hi-Res Audio deliver cinematic, immersive audio.

Ergonomically built for single-handed use, the tablet measures just 132.03mm in width, with a metal unibody design finished in ceramic sandblasting for a premium grip. Inside, Xiaomi introduces the first SoC-centered tablet architecture, symmetrically balancing key components for comfort and stability. Combined with its 16:10 aspect ratio, the Pad Mini is perfect for both vertical viewing and multitasking.

Boosting productivity further, Xiaomi HyperAI integrates intelligent tools such as AI Writing, AI Art, AI Interpreter, AI Speech Recognition, and AI Calculator, plus seamless support for Google Gemini and Circle to Search with Google.

Under the hood, the MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ (3nm) powers the Pad Mini with flagship efficiency, handling workflows, multitasking, and creative projects with ease. A 7500mAh battery supports extended use, while 67W HyperCharge ensures fast refueling. For added convenience, 18W reverse wired charging allows the tablet to power other devices, while dual Type-C ports (including USB 3.2 Gen 1 support) add versatile connectivity.

Creatives will love the Xiaomi Focus Pen, offering low latency and high-pressure sensitivity for sketching, annotating, or note-taking. The Xiaomi Pad Mini Cover complements the device with a refined, leather-like design and portable wristband, ensuring protection on the go.
