Xiaomi Pad 8 Series Leak Reveals Big Battery and Fast Charging

Details of Xiaomi’s upcoming Pad 8 series have appeared in new certification listings, pointing to a launch in the near future. Two models are on the way — the regular Pad 8 and the Pad 8 Pro — and both look set to bring notable hardware upgrades over the previous generation. Each tablet is said to have an 11.16-inch LCD with a high refresh rate. Xiaomi isn’t moving to OLED just yet, likely to keep prices down and battery life up. The choice also avoids the risk of burn-in, which still matters for people who use a tablet heavily for work.

The standout spec from the leak is battery size. Both versions reportedly carry more than 10,000mAh. This is a bump compared to the Pad 7 series. That should give long runtimes for streaming, gaming, or creative work. Charging speed differs: the standard Pad 8 is listed with 45W wired charging, while the Pro goes up to 67W.

Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro Model Steps Up Performance

The Xiaomi Pad 8 will run Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, putting it in the top tier for Android tablets. It’s clearly for power users — people running multiple apps, editing photos, or connecting to external monitors. The regular Pad 8 will be an all-round option.

Both models are set to launch alongside the Xiaomi 16 smartphones. That timing suggests Xiaomi wants to sell them as part of a connected ecosystem rather than standalone products.

No pricing has leaked yet, but the mix of large battery, high-refresh screen, and fast charging puts these tablets directly against Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S series and Lenovo’s higher-end offerings. With the Pro’s Snapdragon 8 Elite and over 10,000mAh of battery, Xiaomi seems ready to push harder into the premium tablet space without going all-in on flagship pricing.
