In addition to the Xiaomi 18 Fold wide folding phone, the Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro Max professional tablet was also launched yesterday as a competitor to the iPad Pro with the Android operating system. Like the iPad Pro, the Pad 9 Pro Max comes with a large 13.3″ LCD screen with 3K 3:2 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.
This is paired with a 10-core Xring 03 chip, up to 16GB of LPDDR5T RAM, up to 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage and a 12,000 mAh battery that supports 120W wired charging. Like the Xiaomi 18 Fold, the 16GB/1TB version comes with faster LPDDR6 RAM.
The main camera on the back is 50MP and the front is a 32MP selfie camera. The audio system consists of 8 speakers and there are also 6 microphones. The fingerprint scanner is placed on the power button. All these components are packed into a body that is only 5.67mm thick and weighs 645 grams.
Like the iPad Pro, the Pad 9 Pro Max is offered with a keyboard accessory that doubles as a laptop cover. In fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that this Xiaomi keyboard takes inspiration from the Magic Keyboard keyboard because it looks the same. There is a backlit keyboard, a large touchpad and a USB-C charging port on the side.
The HyperOS 4 operating system based on Android 17 is used. This allows various AI and artificial intelligence features to be used. In addition to being a tablet, the Pad 9 Pro Max can also be used as a secondary monitor when connected to a console, and a laptop.
