Last month, Xiaomi confirmed that it will unveil the Pad 9 Pro Max flagship tablet alongside the Xiaomi 18 Fold in September. The brand has now revealed the design and some key details ahead of its launch in China. The tablet is also set to introduce several hardware and software upgrades aimed at making it a more capable PC alternative.

Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro Max brings a bigger display and flagship chip

The Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro Max features a 13.3-inch LCD display and is designed to support PC-level applications, giving users a larger canvas for work, content creation and other productivity tasks. It will be the first Xiaomi tablet to feature the company’s in-house Xring O3 flagship processor, which is positioned to deliver desktop-class performance.

The Xring O3 uses a 10-core all-big-core CPU configuration with a maximum clock speed of 4.35GHz. It also introduces a 16-core G2-Ultra NX GPU, which Xiaomi claims delivers an 85% improvement in graphics performance while reducing power consumption by 64% compared with the previous generation. Some reported GPU benchmark results have even surpassed Apple’s A19 Pro, although real-world performance remains to be seen.

The tablet will also debut HyperOS 4, with Xiaomi optimizing the software for large-screen productivity scenarios. Combined with support for PC-level applications, the setup could make the Pad 9 Pro Max more suitable for office work and creative tasks. A soft-light display variant of the tablet is also expected to get unveiled.

The Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro Max is tipped to feature a battery exceeding 10,000mAh with support for 120W wired charging. The device may arrive in 512GB and 1TB storage choices and is expected to weigh around 650 grams. Xiaomi is scheduled to launch the Pad 9 Pro Max in China on September 7.

The wait for Xiaomi’s next major flagship products is almost over. The company has confirmed the launch date for the Xiaomi 18 Fold and Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro Max. Both devices will arrive with Xiaomi’s latest Xring O3 AI flagship processor.

Xiaomi 18 Fold and Pad 9 Pro Max launch date confirmed

Xiaomi has scheduled its autumn flagship product launch event for Sept 7 at 7pm local time in China. Alongside the two devices, the company will also launch its N70 Pro, N70 Max and N90 Max electric vehicles under the Xiaomi Pengcheng brand.

The Xiaomi 18 Fold will be the company’s first inward-folding foldable with a wide aspect ratio. It will also be the first smartphone to feature the Xring O3 processor. The foldable will pair Xiaomi’s in-house SoC with ChangXin Memory Technologies’ LPDDR6 memory, creating a combination of two Chinese-developed core components.

Xring O3 is built on a 3nm process and features a 10-core all-large-core CPU configuration with six super-large cores and four large cores. The processor reaches a maximum clock speed of 4.35GHz and features a 16-core G2-Ultra NX GPU. Xiaomi says the GPU delivers an 85% improvement in graphics performance while reducing power consumption by 64% compared with its predecessor.

The Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro Max will also use the Xring O3 and has already appeared on Geekbench under model number M367FC. The tablet recorded 3,710 points in the single-core test and 14,319 points in the multi-core test.

The tablet is expected to feature a battery exceeding 10,000mAh alongside 120W wired charging. Its large display and flagship processor are aimed at demanding workloads such as video editing, drawing and multitasking.

The post Xiaomi 18 Fold launches September 7 with Xring O3, Pad 9 Pro Max and N70 EVs also incoming appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi’s next-generation Xring O3 chip is set to power two upcoming devices, the Xiaomi 18 Fold and Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro Max. Among them, the flagship tablet, reportedly carrying the model number M367FC, has already appeared on Geekbench, revealing its core specs and performance. Newer benchmark entries now show the chip crossing the 14,000 mark in multi-core performance.

Xring O3 pushes past 14K on Geekbench

The latest Geekbench listings show the Xiaomi M367FC reaching a peak multi-core score of 14,319, while another entry records 14,153. The single-core scores range from 3,474 to 3,710 across the listed results. These numbers provide an early look at the performance potential of the Xring O3 ahead of its arrival in Xiaomi’s upcoming hardware.

The Xring O3 is listed with a 10-core CPU configuration comprising four cores clocked at 3.15GHz, four at 3.69GHz, and two high-performance cores reaching 4.36GHz. Graphics are handled by a 16-core Mali-G2-Ultra-NX GPU.

Xiaomi has also claimed substantial generational gains, including up to 60% higher CPU performance and an 85% improvement in GPU performance, alongside a 64% increase in GPU power efficiency.

Unlike upcoming 2nm flagship chips from Qualcomm and MediaTek, the Xring O3 is built on a 3nm process. However, it is \ the first mobile chip to support LPDDR6 memory. The Xiaomi 18 Fold and Pad 9 Pro Max are expected to pair it with CXMT’s 16GB LPDDR6 memory, which can reach speeds of up to 12,800Mbps and deliver memory bandwidth of up to 113.8GB/s.

The chip also reportedly delivers 200 TOPS of tensor AI performance, 3.13 TFLOPS of vector AI performance, and up to 45% higher NPU performance. Xiaomi has claimed an AnTuTu score of 5.22 million, potentially making the Xring O3 the first mobile chip to cross five million points.

The post Xiaomi’s Xring O3 posts over 14K multi-core score on Geekbench with 10-core CPU appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi confirmed a few weeks ago that the Pad 9 Pro Max would be the first tablet to use its in-house XRING O3 chip. The tablet has now appeared on Geekbench, giving us an early look at its performance.

The Geekbench listing confirms the XRING O3 is powering the tablet, with the CPU setup matching Xiaomi’s earlier details. The chip has 10 cores split across three tiers: two C1-Ultra cores clocked at 4.36GHz, four C1-Premium cores at 3.69GHz, and four C1-Pro cores at 3.15GHz. Graphics are handled by a Mali G2 Ultra NX MC16 GPU with 16 cores.

Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro Max shows its performance

The Pad 9 Pro Max scored more than 3,400 points in the single-core test and over 13,200 points in the multi-core test. The multi-core result is lower than an earlier claim for XRING O3 from Xiaomi itself, where the chip scored 15,000 points.

That difference isn’t unusual for a pre-release device. Performance can change as Xiaomi continues to optimize the software and tune the tablet’s thermal management before launch.

The Pad 9 Pro Max has already appeared in several leaks, including details about its color and memory options. Its Geekbench listing suggests development is moving closer to the final stage. The tablet is expected to feature a 13.3-inch display and support 120W charging.

The Pad 9 Pro Max will also sit at the top of the upcoming Pad 9 lineup. Xiaomi is reportedly preparing a standard Pad 9 and a Pad 9 Pro, with both expected to use Qualcomm chips instead of the company’s in-house XRING O3.

Xiaomi is expected to launch the Pad 9 Pro Max in early September.

The post Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro Max with XRING O3 turns up on Geekbench appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi has an event planned in early September for its new Xiaomi 18 Fold and tablets. The latter is the Xiaomi Pad 9 series, and a fresh leak today spills the beans on the top-of-the-line model, reportedly called Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro Max. 

The leak says the tablet will have a 13-inch screen with a soft-light option, and comes in a striking red shade. Xiaomi started the trend-red with the Redmi K100 Pro Max, and now picked up by the Xiaomi 18 Fold, as shown in leaked images. Looks like the upcoming tablet is also a part of this. 

The engineering sample reportedly has 8GB of RAM, while retail versions will go up to 16GB paired with either 512GB or 1TB of storage. The battery is over 10000mAh, supports a 120W adapter, and the tablet weighs around 650g.

Digital Chat Station also says the Pad 9 Pro Max will be the cheapest way to get Xiaomi’s next-generation chip. The chip in question is the XRING O3, and the Pad 9 Pro Max will be the first device to use it alongside the 18 Fold. 

The foldable is likely to cost north of $1500 when it launches; no surprise the Pad 9 Pro Max will be a more accessible option to test the new chip.

The Xring O3 has a deca-core CPU with 6 ultra-large cores and 4 large cores, with a maximum frequency of 4.35GHz. Its multi-core benchmark score has passed 15,000 points, a 60% increase over the previous chip. The GPU is a 16-core G2-Ultra NX unit with third-generation ray tracing support.

Xiaomi Pad 9 series has three models 

In another leak earlier this month, the tipster claimed the Xiaomi Pad 9 series will include three models: the standard Pad 9, the Pad 9 Pro, and the Pad 9 Pro Max. The Pad 9 Pro is expected to have a 12.5-inch LCD screen with 67W charging, while the vanilla model settles with an 11.2-inch screen and 45W charging.
