Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro Max color and memory options leak before launch
Xiaomi is preparing for an early September event to unveil its new Xiaomi 18 Fold and the Xiaomi Pad 9 series. A recent leak details the top-tier model, the Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro Max, which will feature a 13-inch screen and a distinctive red color option. This tablet is also expected to be the first device, alongside the 18 Fold, to incorporate Xiaomi’s new XRING O3 chip. The Pad 9 Pro Max will offer up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, powered by a battery exceeding 10000mAh with 120W charging support.
The upcoming Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro Max is notable for its role in introducing Xiaomi’s new XRING O3 chip, a deca-core CPU with a 4.35GHz maximum frequency and a 60% performance increase over its predecessor. While the Xiaomi 18 Fold will also feature this chip, the tablet is positioned as a more accessible entry point to the new technology, likely costing significantly less than the foldable’s projected $1500+ price. This strategy allows Xiaomi to broaden the initial market exposure for its next-generation silicon across the Asian market. The inclusion of a 16-core G2-Ultra NX GPU with third-generation ray tracing support in the XRING O3 chip suggests Xiaomi is pushing for high-performance mobile computing. The 13-inch screen and substantial battery capacity also indicate a focus on premium user experience. The key thing to watch is how Xiaomi prices the Pad 9 Pro Max to truly make the XRING O3 chip accessible, balancing advanced features with market competitiveness in Asia.
