The Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra just made its debut alongside the highly anticipated Xiaomi 15S Pro. Arriving as the brand’s first ever “Ultra” tablet model, it carries the expectation of a true flagship experience on a large-screened device. So here’s how the Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra delivers as a premium tablet.
Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra: Premium Design & Display
With the Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra, the Chinese tech giant offers a tablet with a premium build quality and high end display. Despite some beefy specs (like its battery), the tablet measures just 5.1mm in thickness and weighs 609 grams. It arrives with an all-metal unibody design that uses aluminum alloy.
Meanwhile, the front sports a tall 14-inch 3.2K OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, 1600 nits of peak brightness, Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and TÜV Rheinland certifications for low blue light and flicker-free experience. It also has nano-soft light screen coating for anti-flare.
Cutting Edge Hardware
Just like the Xiaomi 15S Pro, the Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra also packs the new XRing O1 processor. This is the brand’s proprietary chipset that offers flagship level performance. The chip is based on TSMC’s 3nm N3E processes and uses a 10-core architecture (2+4+2+2 clusters). This chip is paired with up to 16GB of LPDDR5T RAM and 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage.
Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra
In other words, Xiaomi did not cut any corners in performance with this model. For audio, you get an eight speaker setup that supports Dolby Atmos. Other notable features include WiFi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, IR Blaster, and Android 15 OS based HyperOS 2 custom skin out of the box. The latest software means that you also get the newest AI features and tools for generating text, summarizing content, editing images, transcribing voice, and much more.
Camera
Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra
Tablets aren’t known for their great photography potential, but Xiaomi has packed some decent image sensors that should perform well (at least on paper). The rear has the 50MP Samsung JN1 sensor that can record at up to 4K@60fps, while the front has a 32MP OmniVision OV32D shooter for selfies and video calls (1080p@60fps). The front camera is also housed in a bar notch.
Massive Battery & Fast Charging
One of the advantages of the additional size is the battery pack, and the Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra doesn’t disappoint with a huge 12,000mAh cell. It even supports 120W wired fast charging over the USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port. So there isn’t a lot of down time when charging.
Verdict
Based on all of these specs and features, it is clear that Xiaomi did not compromise on any aspect of the Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra. While high end tablets can offer high resolution displays, they might use an LCD panel over an OLED. Tablet makers also choose to use last gen flagship chips over the latest versions to save costs. But for 5,699 Yuan (roughly 760 US Dollars), the Pad 7 Ultra is a proper flagship tablet that is worth its price tag.

Samsung’s first foldable Fan Edition, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, may launch simultaneously with the Galaxy Z Flip 7 in late July 2025, contrary to earlier reports of a staggered release, per a tipster on X.
Samsung is set to expand its foldable lineup with the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, a budget-friendly version of the Z Flip 7. It follows the cost-effective formula of its Galaxy S FE series. Initially, reports suggested the Z Flip 7 FE might launch “sometime in late 2025,” following the June-July launch of the Z Fold 7 and Flip 7. It would mirror the Galaxy S series strategy, where flagship models debut early and FE variants arrive in the second half to avoid cannibalizing sales.
However, live demo units for both devices are now in production together, suggesting a simultaneous market release. This aligns with Samsung’s typical Unpacked event timeline, likely in June-July 2025.
The Z Flip 7 FE is rumored to feature a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, the Exynos 2400 chip, and a 12MP+12MP camera setup, compared to the Z Flip 7’s potential Exynos 2500 (Snapdragon 8 Elite in North America and China), and 50MP main sensor.
While Samsung hasn’t confirmed the launch, a joint release could broaden foldable adoption, though it risks sales overlap. Expect more information as we inch closer to the launch. With the Z Flip 7 FE expected to be significantly cheaper—potentially priced at ~$799 versus the Z Flip 7’s ~$999— it could appear as an alternative to the Z Flip 7 for many.
A die shot of Xiaomi’s Xring O1 SoC showcases its compact 114.7mm² design on TSMC’s cutting-edge 3nm N3E node. Matching the Snapdragon 8 Elite in Geekbench, this chip powers the Xiaomi 15S Pro and Pad 7 Ultra. In fact, the Xring O1 in the Xiaomi 15S Pro even outscored the Snapdragon 8 Elite in an AnTuTu test.
Xiaomi’s Xring O1 SoC has garnered attention for its competitive performance and efficient design, revealed through a detailed die shot by Kurnalsalts and Geekerwan. Built on TSMC’s N3E 3nm node—also used by Apple’s A18 Pro and MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400—the Xring O1 spans 114.7mm², with 109.5mm² utilized, making it one of the smallest flagship smartphone chips, rivaling the A18 Pro’s size.
Xring O1’s core cluster:
The die is dominated by a 10-core CPU (2x Cortex-X925 at 3.9GHz, 4x Cortex-A725 at 3.4GHz, 2x Cortex-A725 at 1.89GHz, 2x Cortex-A520 at 1.8GHz) with 16MB L3 cache, delivering Geekbench 6 scores of ~3,119 single-core and ~9,673 multi-core, edging out the Snapdragon 8 Elite in some tests. A 6-core NPU with 16MB cache handles 44 TOPS for AI tasks, while the Arm Immortalis-G925 MP16 GPU ensures robust graphics performance, scoring 330 FPS in GFXBench Manhattan 3.1, per ComputerBase. The in-house ISP and LPDDR5T-9600 modules enhance imaging and memory performance.
Notably, the Xring O1 lacks an integrated 5G modem, relying on an external MediaTek radio, which shrinks the die size but may impact power efficiency. This design mirrors Qualcomm and MediaTek rivals but highlights Xiaomi’s strategic trade-offs. With TSMC’s N3E enabling high clock speeds and efficiency, the Xring O1 is expected to redefine Xiaomi’s flagship competitiveness. The teardown offers a glimpse into its potential.
Xiaomi is almost ready to release the much-anticipated HyperOS 2.2 update to its devices.

Tucked in among all the headlines was a more niche, design-focused product of the Xiaomi Civi line. The Civi 5 Pro is only the second Pro model in this series after last year’s Civi 4 Pro. And on the surface, it doesn’t bring any radical changes in terms of specifications or features.
The upgrades are all incremental here. However, if you scale them in comparison to the non-Pro Civi 3, the Civi 5 Pro brings enough forward movement to justify its “Pro” tag. So we thought to look back to see how much of an improvement Xiaomi has made over the last two generations of Civi phones.
Perhaps the most defining generational leap is under the hood. The Civi 5 Pro features the new Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, which brings a notable 31% CPU, 49% GPU, and 44% AI performance improvement over the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 in the Civi 4 Pro.
The Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 is a 4nm chip anchored by a single Cortex-X4 prime core clocked at 3.21 GHz and supported by a blend of high and mid-performance Cortex-A720 cores. In contrast, the Gen 3 used a less aggressive clock configuration.
Compare that to the Dimensity 8200 Ultra in the Civi 3, and it’s an entirely different class of silicon. The Civi 3 was respectable in day-to-day use but clearly designed for casual users, not power-hungry ones. Even the 8s Gen 3 in the Civi 4 Pro, while solid, is now overshadowed by the better thermals and improved efficiency of Gen 4.
2. Camera Refinement with Leica Optics
Xiaomi introduced Leica branding to the Civi series with the 4 Pro, but the Civi 5 Pro refines this further with subtle yet important upgrades to both the rear and front camera setups.
Xiaomi Civi 5 Pro camera
The rear system remains a triple camera configuration with the same 50MP wide and 12MP ultrawide sensors, but the telephoto lens has been tweaked: it’s now a 50MP sensor at a 60mm focal length with 2.5x optical zoom, compared to the 50mm lens with 2x zoom in the 4 Pro. This change offers more flexibility for portrait and macro-style shots, with an updated autofocus system that operates from as close as 10cm.
On the front, Xiaomi departs from the dual 32MP camera design of the previous two models. Instead, the Civi 5 Pro goes with a single but more powerful 50MP selfie shooter. This sensor supports 4K video at both 30 and 60 fps, a first for the Civi lineup.
One of the quiet but most practical upgrades comes in the battery department. The Civi 5 Pro now sports a 6000mAh silicon-carbon lithium (Si/C Li-Ion) battery, a sizeable leap from the 4700mAh cell in the Civi 4 Pro and even more so from the 4500mAh pack in the Civi 3.
Despite the larger capacity, Xiaomi keeps the 67W fast charging standard across all three models. But with greater energy density and smarter power management, the Civi 5 Pro should offer better endurance.
4. Software and Connectivity Improvements
Another way the Civi 5 Pro distances itself is with software and connectivity improvements. It runs Android 15 with HyperOS 2, whereas the Civi 4 Pro shipped with Android 14 and the Civi 3 was limited to Android 13 under MIUI 14. That’s more than just version inflation; HyperOS 2 introduces system-level optimizations and better integration with Xiaomi’s broader ecosystem, from tablets to smart home devices.
In terms of connectivity, the Civi 5 Pro adopts Wi-Fi 7 support, while the Civi 4 Pro tops out at Wi-Fi 6. That change futureproofs the device for faster and more stable wireless connections. Bluetooth also gets a bump to version 5.4 with support for LHDC 5, aptX HD, and aptX Adaptive.
5. Design Tweaks and Build Consistency
At first glance, the Civi 5 Pro looks almost indistinguishable from the Civi 4 Pro. It keeps the same slim 6.55-inch AMOLED display with 68 billion colors, 120Hz refresh rate, and HDR support. The display resolution also remains unchanged at 1236 x 2750 pixels. But look closer, and you’ll see minor yet meaningful changes.
Peak brightness jumps from 3000 to 3200 nits, and Xiaomi has added HDR Vivid support to the Dolby Vision and HDR10+ stack. These tweaks improve visibility in direct sunlight and offer more compatibility with streaming content.
Physically, the phone is now slightly wider (73.2mm vs 72.8mm) and heavier (up to 184g vs 180.9g), likely due to the larger battery. Despite this, the thickness stays virtually the same, and Xiaomi continues offering high-quality material options like glass and eco-leather backs.
The Civi 5 Pro also offers a broader color palette—Gray, Rose Gold, Violet, White, and Brown—compared to the more limited Black, Pink, Blue, and Green options of the 4 Pro.
6. Final Thoughts
Xiaomi made a major refresh for the Civi line with Civi 4 Pro. The upgrades are more incremental this generation, and it’s perfectly fine. The Civi 4 Pro established the Pro branding and brought in Leica lenses, the 5 Pro stabilizes and expands on that momentum.
Compared to Civi 3, the 5 Pro feels way more refined; a more premium product across the board. And compared to the 4 Pro, it’s a sensible upgrade for anyone who values battery life, slightly better optics, and updated software.
For users who skipped the Civi 4 Pro or are still holding onto older models, the Civi 5 Pro might just be the upgrade worth making.
