Xiaomi Pad 7S Pro is official, it has a bigger 12.5" display and Xring O1 chipset

The Xiaomi Pad 7S Pro 12.5 is the first tablet to use the company’s own Xring O1 chipset and it arrives a month after that chip made its debut with the Xiaomi 15S Pro. That is not the only change from the Pad 7 Pro, however.

For starters, the 7S tablet has a larger 12.5” display – Xiaomi says it offers a balance between portability and screen size compared to 11” and 14” slates. The display still has a 3:2 aspect ratio and a 144Hz refresh rate.

The larger tablet is slimmer at 5.8mm (vs. 6.2mm for the Pad 7 Pro). It does weigh more at 576g (up from 500g), but that can be accounted for by the larger display and larger battery.

The Pad 7S Pro is powered by a 10,610mAh battery, which supports faster 120W charging. The previous Pro has an 8,850mAh battery with 67W charging.

Xiaomi advertises this as a computer companion and even a full laptop replacement with the optional keyboard add-on. It attaches to the tablet magnetically and has a fully adjustable hinge. It runs a new version of WPS Office and supports ZWCAD (compatible with DWG) and CAJViewer (a multi-format file converter).

The tablet can do wireless screen mirroring to a PC with a latency of just 41ms. It can also share a keyboard and mouse with a PC and offers easy file transfers. Both Windows and Mac systems are supported, by the way.

One change worth mentioning is that the S-model has more speakers – up to 6 now and with Dolby Atmos support. This paired with the larger display promises a more immersive experience for video and gaming.

The Xiaomi Pad 7S Pro goes on sale today, starting at CNY 3,300 for the base 8GB/256GB model. There are different configurations going up to 16GB/1TB, check the table below – note that while we’ve included a conversion to USD, Xiaomi hasn’t announced a global rollout yet. Also, the keyboard add-on we mentioned goes for CNY 1,000 and there is a screen protector for CNY 200 (it’s the Soft Light kind, which reduces reflections).
