- Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro Max launched in China with a 13.3-inch 144Hz display and 1,000-nit peak brightness.
- The tablet uses Xiaomi’s 3nm XRING O3 processor and offers up to 16GB RAM with 1TB storage.
- A 12,000mAh battery, 120W charging, and an eight-speaker setup make it a productivity-focused flagship.
The Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro Max is a new addition from the Chinese company for their tablet portfolio. Xiaomi’s Pad 9 Pro Max was recently launched in the country along with the foldable phone Xiaomi 18 Fold, which comes with the latest XRING 03 chip by Xiaomi.
What makes this launch unique for the brand is the way they have marketed this device. This is evident from the use of productivity elements in the form of the device with a 3:2 ratio screen. Let us breakdown the story.
Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro Max launched with 3:2 aspect ratio display
The screen features a 13.3-inch LCD with 3408×2272 resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. The device utilizes a 3:2 aspect ratio, giving users more vertical real estate for their documents, websites, and applications similar to those running on PCs.
The screen is claimed to feature up to 1,000 nits of brightness by Xiaomi, and the color accuracy is stated to be 0.47 Delta E. In addition, there is a choice of Soft Light screen that minimizes reflection. Even with such a large screen, the device itself has a thickness of 5.67 mm and weighs 645 grams, 653 grams in the case of the Soft Light screen version.
XRING 03 is in the spotlight
The Pad 9 Pro Max is the first Xiaomi tablet with its own 3nm XRING 03 processor. The memory capacity is up to 16GB, while the storage space is as much as 1TB. The Chinese company has also decided to assign a more PC-like purpose for the tablet.
The USB-C port works in DP-in mode, and thus, the Pad 9 Pro Max can serve as an external monitor for a compatible PC or game console. The six apps are able to operate at once with the new HyperOS 4 system. Battery life is provided by a large 12,000mAh battery combined with a 120W charging speed.
Cameras are much more powerful
Currently, your article gives the camera specifications only one line. This should not be the case. The main camera uses a 50MP sensor with an f/1.8 aperture and autofocus. The precise listing of specifications mentions a 1/2.76-inch sensor with 0.64μm pixels.
This is capable of capturing up to 4K 60fps video along with 1080p video modes. The front camera is 32MP with an f/2.2 aperture. It is meant for video calls and productivity use rather than photography and can capture up to 1080p 60fps video.
Eight speakers and six microphones
It merits having its very own category. Pad 9 Pro Max has eight speakers and six microphones. While the speaker system is capable of Dolby Atmos and Hi-Res Audio, the microphone system is built to capture voice and minimize noise.
Six microphones specifically appeal to those who plan on using the tablet for:
- Video conferencing
- Online meeting
- Voice recording
- Presentation
- Remote working
- Voice-enabled AI functions
Makes way more sense than just listing “eight speakers” for a productivity tablet.
USB-C port is one of the most intriguing features
This is the most glaring hole in your article.
The Pad 9 Pro Max comes with a USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port featuring DP-in capabilities. This implies that the tablet won’t be limited in sending video signals to another screen but will also have the capability to receive video input and serve as an additional monitor.
According to Xiaomi, the DP-in feature will allow the tablet to accept input up to 3.4K resolution at 120Hz.
It creates several scenarios where the user can connect:
- A laptop and turn the tablet into a second screen
- A gaming console or handheld game console
- A compatible computer
- Other video input sources
It’s also worth noting that Xiaomi promotes the tablet as a digital drawing display, thanks to the stylus. This feature is a lot better than saying “the USB-C port supports DP-in.”
