The Xiaomi Pad 7, the successor to the popular Xiaomi Pad 6, was launched in China in October. Now, Xiaomi is gearing up for its India launch, confirmed for January 10, 2025, via an Amazon listing. The Indian version of the Xiaomi Pad 7 is expected to retain the same specs as the Chinese variant, similar to its predecessor.
The tablet boasts features like the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 processor and a 144Hz display. It is set to compete with the OnePlus Pad 2 (review) launched earlier this year.
Xiaomi Pad 7 Teased on Amazon India
Amazon India has revealed the Xiaomi Pad 7 launch via a promo page. The page mentions the launch date as January 10, 2025, and shows a graphic of the tablet alongside a hint at a few accessories like the Xiaomi Folio Keyboard case and a pencil.
However, it does not reveal any of the specifications or features. Since it has already launched in China, we expect the specs to stay more or less the same and already have a clear idea of what it will look like and bring to the table.
Xiaomi Pad 7 Key Features, Specs
The Xiaomi Pad 7 comes with a large 11.2-inch screen with a 3.2K resolution of 2,136×3,200 pixels and a 144Hz refresh rate. While this is an LCD and not an OLED like the OnePlus Pad 2, Xiaomi has bumped up the peak brightness to 800 nits from 550 on last year’s Pad 6.
The tablet is powered by the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 processor, compared to the Snapdragon 870 in its predecessor. It will be coupled with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.
It will be running Xiaomi’s new HyperOS 2.0 based on Android 15, which brings features like an AI lock screen, new animations, real-time integration across the Xiaomi ecosystem, and more.
For photography and video calls, Xiaomi has added a 13-megapixel camera on the rear and an 8-megapixel shooter at the front. It features an 8,850mAh battery with 45W fast charging, compared to the slower 33W on the Xiaomi Pad 6. Lastly, there’s Wi-Fi 7 for better connectivity and internet speeds.
Xiaomi Pad 7 Expected Price
In China, the Xiaomi Pad 7 starts at CNY 1,999 (approximately ₹23,500) for the base model featuring 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. The mid-tier variant with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage is priced at CNY 2,299 (around ₹26,800), while the top-end version, offering 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, comes in at CNY 2,599 (roughly ₹30,000).
The tablet is available in black, blue, and green color options. Xiaomi will reveal India’s pricing on the official launch date; however, we expect it to be priced similarly to last year.
