The Xiaomi Pad Mini is now officially available locally, and this isn’t just a shrunk-down tablet; it’s Xiaomi’s flagship entry into the compact category, making it a serious contender for the “mini-tablet-of-choice” title.
Quick Look: Xiaomi Pad Mini
It’s all about premium performance in an on-the-go package. This thing is built for maximum productivity without the hand strain.
- Display: An immersive 8.8-inch 3K (3008 x 1880, 403 PPI) crystal-clear screen that is simply stellar. The smoothness is next-level with a 165Hz adaptive refresh rate and it’s color-rich with Dolby Vision support. Plus, it’s easy on the eyes with multiple TÜV Rheinland certifications for low blue light and flicker-free viewing.

- Design & Comfort: Sporting a sleek, lightweight metal unibody (132.03mm wide) and a unique SoC-centered design, the weight is perfectly balanced for comfortable single-handed use. It’s available in Purple and Gray.
- AI Integration: This is where it gets smart. It runs on Xiaomi HyperAI with features like AI Writing, AI Interpreter, and AI Art. Crucially, it integrates Google Gemini and supports Circle to Search with Google for next-gen device interaction.
- Connectivity: Versatile I/O is a huge win, thanks to Dual Type-C ports, with the long side supporting USB 3.2 Gen 1 data transfer.
