The Xiaomi Pad 7 will be Xiaomi’s latest entry into the tablet market, continuing the company’s success with the Xiaomi Pad 6 series.
While previous rumors pointed to premium features, recent leaks suggest that the Xiaomi Pad 7 and its Pro variant may be more mid-range than flagship.
Here’s an overview of what we know so far about the Xiaomi Pad 7 series.
When will the Xiaomi Pad 7 be released?
Xiaomi is expected to unveil the Xiaomi Pad 7 and Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro in China in the coming weeks.
According to both GSMArena and Notebookcheck, these tablets could debut alongside the Xiaomi 15 phone series, as well as new Xiaomi watches and earbuds.
The launch event is likely to take place later this month or inside early November 2024.
However, global release dates may vary, with the possibility of an international rollout early 2025.
How much does the Xiaomi Pad 7 cost?
The exact price for the Xiaomi Pad 7 has of course not yet been confirmed, but based on the prices of the previous models we can make some guesses.
The Xiaomi Pad 6 started at £369 in the UK and around $349.99 in the US (wasn’t officially available there) for the base model, while the Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro cost £599 in the UK and closer to $400 in the USA (also not official).

Considering that the Xiaomi Pad 7 is expected to feature mid-range hardware, as Digital Chat Station claims, we could see similar or slightly higher prices for both models.
What specifications and features does the Xiaomi Pad 7 have?
Design
The Xiaomi Pad 7 is expected to retain the sleek and minimalist design language seen in the Xiaomi Pad 6 series.
While specific design details have yet to be confirmed, leaks suggest the Pad 7 won’t stray too far from its predecessor, with thin bezels, a metal chassis and a lightweight build.

Xiaomi typically emphasizes portability and style with its tablets, so expect a polished look that will appeal to a wide range of users.
Display
Rumor has it (via GSMArena) that both the Xiaomi Pad 7 and Pad 7 Pro will have an 11.16-inch LCD display with a 144Hz refresh rate, offering smooth scrolling and a responsive touch experience.

While the panel may not match the vibrancy of OLED displays, the high refresh rate should deliver a smooth and immersive user experience, especially for gaming and media consumption.
Future flagship models, expected in 2025, could see an upgrade to OLED, but for now the Pad 7 series will likely stick with LCD.
Performance
As for performance, GSMArena reports that the Xiaomi Pad 7 will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset, making it a solid performer for most tasks, from multitasking to casual gaming.
The Pad 7 Pro is expected to be slightly more powerful, with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset, offering faster performance for demanding users.
These mid-tier processors will likely handle most apps and games with no problem, though they may not compete with high-end flagship tablets in terms of raw power.
Cameras
The camera setup on the Xiaomi Pad 7 is expected to be functional, but not groundbreaking. Tablets in this price range typically focus less on camera performance than smartphones.
It’s likely that the Pad 7 will have a modest rear camera for basic photography and a front camera for video calls and online meetings.

Don’t expect top-level camera performance, but the tablet will likely provide clear images for casual use.
Battery and charging
Both GSMArena and Notebookcheck report that the Xiaomi Pad 7 reportedly supports 45W wired charging, which should deliver decent speeds for charging the likely large battery.
The Pad 7 Pro may support faster wired charging at 67W.
However, these charging speeds are a downgrade from the 120W charging available on the Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro, once again indicating that these tablets are aimed at a more budget-friendly segment.

Battery life is expected to be solid, especially with the energy-efficient processors on board, making these tablets suitable for extended use throughout the day.
Software
Xiaomi’s Pad 7 series is expected to run on MIUI, the company’s custom Android skin optimized for larger screens. MIUI on tablets typically offers features such as multi-window support, floating apps, and various productivity tools aimed at improving user experience.
The tablets are likely to launch with Android 14 or Android 15, offering a modern software experience with Android’s latest security and feature updates.
