Xiaomi has just announced its latest tablet offering in China called the Pad 7S Pro. The Xiaomi Pad 7S Pro is a successor to the previous Pad 6S Pro model but has a slightly different design and some new hardware. The Pad 7S Pro is placed between the Pad 7 Ultra and the previously launched Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro and so will appeal to the latter and Pad 6S Pro users alike. The highlight of this year’s model is the use of Xiaomi’s own silicon, which is in the form of its recently announced Xring O1 processor. Still, there are some minor upgrades sprinkled all over.
Xiaomi Pad 7S Pro Price, Availability
The Xiaomi Pad 7S Pro is priced from CNY 3,300 (roughly Rs. 39,000) for the base 8GB RAM + 256GB storage variant. Since this is a ‘Pro’ model, there are a number of variants available with 8GB, 12GB and 16GB RAM with the most expensive option with 16GB RAM + 1TB storage available at CNY 4,500 (roughly Rs. 53,000). The tablet goes on sale today in China but there is no information from the brand about a global launch. The tablet will be available in four finishes—Black, Purple, Titanium Silver and Basalt Gray. There will also be a Matte Glass version that will be available only in the Black finish and 12GB + 512GB, 16GB + 512GB and 16GB + 1TB options.

Xiaomi’s Pad 7S Pro sports a slightly larger 12.5-inch IPS LCD panel which now has a higher resolution of 2,136 x 3,200 pixels set in a 3:2 aspect ratio that remains unchanged.
