Xiaomi’s Pad 7 series, which debuted in China last month, may soon make its way to global markets. The tablets, believed to include the Xiaomi Pad 7 and Pad 7 Pro, have recently passed Indonesia’s SDPPI certification, signaling that an international launch could be approaching.
Although the certification doesn’t reveal specific marketing names, it does provide crucial details about the devices. The model numbers listed are 2410CRP4CG for the Xiaomi Pad 7 and 24091RPADG for the Pad 7 Pro, with the ‘G’ suffix possibly indicating a global version. These model numbers are similar to the ones assigned to their Chinese counterparts, 2410CRP4CC and 24091RPADC. The devices are registered under the applicant name “Xiaomi Technology Indonesia” in the “Tablet” category.
Xiaomi Pad 7 Series: Key Features and Specifications
The Xiaomi Pad 7 series aims to deliver a premium tablet experience with top-tier performance and immersive display features. Here’s what to expect from the two models:
- Display: Both the Xiaomi Pad 7 and Pad 7 Pro feature an 11.2-inch 3.2K display with a 144Hz refresh rate, 240Hz touch sampling rate, blue light reduction, and Dolby Vision for an enhanced viewing experience.
- Processor: The standard Xiaomi Pad 7 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chipset, while the Pad 7 Pro offers the more powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. For comparison, the previous Pad 6 used the Snapdragon 870 SoC, and the Pad 6 Pro was equipped with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1.
- Cameras: The Pad 7 features a 13MP rear camera and an 8MP front-facing camera. The Pad 7 Pro, however, boasts a 50MP main camera and a 32MP front camera, significantly upgrading its predecessor’s 50MP + 2MP dual rear cameras and 20MP front camera.
- Software: Both models run on HyperOS 2 out of the box, Xiaomi’s custom operating system.
- Battery and Charging: The series includes an 8,850mAh battery, with the Pad 7 supporting 45W fast charging, and the Pad 7 Pro offering 67W fast charging. By comparison, the Xiaomi Pad 6 had an 8,840mAh battery with 33W fast charging, while the Pad 6 Pro featured an 8,600mAh battery and 67W fast charging.
Price and Availability
The Xiaomi Pad 7 starts at CNY 1,999 (approximately Rs 23,300), while the Pad 7 Pro is priced at CNY 2,499 (roughly Rs 29,200). Following the launch pattern of the Xiaomi Pad 6 in India, Xiaomi may opt to release only the standard Pad 7 in the country, as the Pad 6 Pro was not introduced there. In line with this, the standard Xiaomi Pad 7 has reportedly secured BIS certification, indicating its potential launch in India soon.
With the SDPPI certification now completed, it’s clear that Xiaomi is preparing to bring the Pad 7 series to a broader audience, and we can expect the official launch to be just around the corner.
