Xiaomi today launched the Xiaomi Pad Mini in Malaysia, marking the brand’s first mini tablet for local consumers. Designed for creatives and professionals on the go, the Pad Mini combines fluid multitasking, vibrant visuals, and versatile connectivity in a compact form. With an 8.8-inch 3K crystal-clear display and an ergonomic design, it sets a new benchmark for lightweight productivity.

Display and Audio

The Xiaomi Pad Mini delivers sharp text and vivid images with a 3,008 × 1,880 resolution at 403 pixels per inch. Furthermore, the adaptive refresh rate of up to 165Hz ensures smooth scrolling, sketching, and multitasking. Dolby Vision® enhances contrast and color accuracy. Meanwhile, the 700-nit peak brightness allows clear viewing even under bright lighting. The display also features full DC Dimming and TÜV Rheinland certifications for Low Blue Light, Flicker-Free, and Circadian-Friendly performance. These features reduce eye strain during long usage.

In addition, dual stereo speakers with Hi-Res & Hi-Res Wireless Audio and Dolby Atmos® deliver immersive sound. They bring videos, music, and games to life with rich, room-filling audio.

Design and Ergonomics

The Xiaomi Pad Mini measures 132.03mm in width and has a metal unibody design with micron-level ceramic sandblasting and a micro-arc middle frame. Its SoC-centered design arranges key components symmetrically around the processor. This improves balance and grip comfort. Also, the 16:10 aspect ratio enhances vertical viewing, making it easier to read, sketch, or multitask with one hand.

AI-Powered Productivity

Xiaomi HyperAI enhances productivity with tools like AI Writing, AI Speech Recognition, AI Interpreter, AI Art, and AI Calculator. Moreover, the Pad Mini integrates Google Gemini and supports Circle to Search with Google, which makes device interaction smoother. Together, these features offer a versatile, intelligent tablet experience for work, creativity, and daily use.

Performance and Battery

Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9400+, built on a 3nm process, the Xiaomi Pad Mini handles multitasking efficiently. Its 7,500mAh battery supports long reading, streaming, and creative sessions. Additionally, 67W HyperCharge quickly refuels the device. Users can also utilize 18W wired reverse charging to power other devices. Dual Type-C ports provide versatile connectivity, with one port supporting USB 3.2 Gen 1 data transfer for fast file access and accessory support.

Accessories

The Xiaomi Focus Pen offers precise, low-latency input with high-pressure sensitivity. It is ideal for sketching, note-taking, and light productivity. The Xiaomi Pad Mini Cover, included for free (worth RM299), protects the tablet and features a leather-like exterior and reinforced metal rivet wristband for portability.
