We’re taking a closer look at Xiaomi’s latest tablet, the Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro.
It packs a powerful chipset and a 144Hz display, but the real question is, Is the Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro worth its price? Let’s find out!
There’s not much to say about the Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro’s design since it closely resembles most other tablets on the market.
It features an aluminum frame and back panel with a matte finish, which helps prevent fingerprint smudges.
It’s a solid and durable device, weighing 500g and measuring just 6.2mm thick. Despite its 11-inch size, it’s easy to hold for long periods. While using it with one hand is possible, it’s more convenient with a keyboard case, making it function like a laptop.
Around the frame, you’ll find the power button, which doubles as a fingerprint scanner, along with two speaker grilles on the left.
The right side houses another two speakers and a USB-C port. On top, there’s a volume rocker and a magnetic area for attaching the Xiaomi Focus Pen.
While the Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro doesn’t offer anything groundbreaking in terms of design, it still provides a premium feel with great durability.
The Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro boasts an 11.2-inch IPS LCD panel with a 3.2K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate.
It supports HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, enhancing the overall visual experience. However, outdoor visibility might be a challenge since it only offers a peak brightness of 800 nits.
Despite lacking an OLED panel, the display delivers vibrant colors, decent contrast, and smooth visuals. You can also adjust the refresh rate in the settings for a more optimized experience.
For entertainment, the screen provides good color accuracy and sharp details, making it ideal for watching videos and gaming.
The bezels are fairly slim, and there are no noticeable color shifts even from different viewing angles.
For productivity, the 11-inch panel makes multitasking seamless, whether you’re browsing, editing documents, or sketching with the Focus Pen.
The Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro features a dual rear camera setup, consisting of a 50MP main sensor and a 2MP depth sensor. On the front, it has a 32MP ultrawide selfie camera.
For daylight photography, the rear cameras produce detailed and sharp images, although colors can sometimes appear slightly oversaturated. The wide dynamic range ensures balanced exposure.
