It is official. After months of watching from the sidelines, the global tech community finally has proof. The Xiaomi Pad 8 and Pad 8 Pro have cleared their final hurdles. New certification filings from the TDRA in the UAE have popped up, and they confirm the names we’ve all been waiting for. We are no longer looking at random strings of numbers like 25097RP43G. We are looking at the real deal.
Key Points:
- TDRA certification confirms global names: Xiaomi Pad 8 and Pad 8 Pro.
- Pro model features the flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset.
- Both tablets sport a 3.2K resolution screen at 144Hz.
- Massive 9,200mAh battery with up to 67W fast charging.
- Expected to debut globally alongside the Xiaomi 17 series in Q1.
What is Under the Hood?
Xiaomi isn't just playing it safe. They are going for power. The standard Pad 8 is likely to use the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4. It’s a fast chip, perfect for most people. But if you really want to push things, the Pad 8 Pro is the star. It steps up to the Snapdragon 8 Elite. This is a flagship-tier processor. Whether you are editing 4K video or playing the latest games, this tablet should handle it without breaking a sweat.
A Screen Made for Creators
Both tablets feature a massive 11.2-inch display. It is an LCD, but the specs are wild. You get a 3.2K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. Everything from scrolling through a PDF to watching a movie will look incredibly smooth. Plus, with 800 nits of brightness, you won't be squinting if you take it outside.
Battery Life That Lasts
No one wants to be stuck to a wall. Xiaomi knows this. They’ve packed a 9,200mAh battery into both models. That is a lot of juice. The charging is where they differ. The base model hits 45W, while the Pro model reaches 67W. With the new HyperOS 3, the power management should be very smart.
When Can You Buy One?
Since these tablets launched in China late last year, a global debut has been the big question. With these new certifications, we expect an announcement very soon. It will likely happen alongside the Xiaomi 17 series launch in the first quarter of the year.
