Xiaomi’s next premium tablet lineup is starting to take shape through some fresh leaks, and it looks like a solid step up in size and battery life for one of its mid-to-high-end models.
Xiaomi has already confirmed that its top-tier Pad 9 Pro Max is coming in September 2026, powered by the company’s own Xring O3 chipset. The wider Pad 9 series is also expected to include a standard Pad 9 and a Pad 9 Pro. Recent details from tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo focus on what most people believe is the Pad 9 Pro, giving a clearer idea of its core hardware.
According to the leak, the tablet should pack a 12.5″ LCD panel with 3.2K resolution and a peak 144 Hz refresh rate. Power is expected to come from Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, a 3 nm chip with eight Oryon CPU cores and an Adreno 829 GPU. Battery capacity is tipped at 11,000 mAh with support for 67 W wired fast charging.
Overall, that’s an upgrade over the current Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro, which has an 11.2″ LCD (also 144 Hz), a Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, and a smaller 9,200 mAh battery while keeping the same 67 W charging. The bigger screen and larger battery should make a noticeable difference for media and all-day productivity.
At the moment, Xiaomi hasn’t officially confirmed the standard Pad 9 or Pad 9 Pro models, and full specs or pricing haven’t been released. The Pad 9 Pro Max is still the only one with a firm September timeline and the in-house Xring O3 chip. More details on the rest of the lineup should start appearing as the launch window gets closer. The leak just reinforces that Xiaomi is continuing to expand its tablet range with more competitive hardware across different sizes and price points.
