Xiaomi had a launch event for the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, and there, we saw the launch of the Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro 12.4 which is the newest tablet from the company. The Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro is the improved version of the Pad 6 Pro, and here, I’ll talk about it in detail.

- 12.4-inch IPS LCD display
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC
- 8GB, 12GB, or 16GB of RAM
- 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of internal storage
- 50MP + 2MP dual rear camera
- 32MP selfie camera
- 10,000 mAh battery

Display
The Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro comes with a 12.4-inch IPS LCD display that has a 3048 x 2032 pixels resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. The display can reach up to 900 nits of brightness.
The display has a 3:2 aspect ratio which is considered to be better for productivity as it has more usable space. It uses a 12-bit panel that can show up to 68 billion colors, and it is professionally calibrated to the CIE2015 color curve.
The screen is protected by the Corning Gorilla Glass 5, and it supports pen input as expected.
Design and Build
The tablet comes in an aluminum unibody. It has a thickness of 6.3mm which when paired with its 590g of weight, makes the tablet still good enough to hold.
The device will be available in three colors: green, black, and blue.
Processor and Memory
Under the hood, the Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset which is still a very capable processor.
The tablet has three options when it comes to RAM: 8GB, 12GB, and 16GB. It utilizes fast UFS 4.0 storage, and the options available are 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB.
Camera
On the rear, there is a dual camera system that features a main camera with a 50MP sensor, and a secondary 2MP depth camera.
There is a 32MP selfie camera on the front for all video conferencing needs.
The rear camera can record 4K videos at up to 60 fps while the selfie camera is capped at 1080p which is a bummer as I expect it to be on par with the rear.
Battery and Charging
On paper, the Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro 12.4 is kitted up with a 10,000 mAh battery which is a considerable jump from the 8,600 mAh on the Pad 6 Pro.
Having this beefy battery, Xiaomi includes support for 120W fast charging. This is estimated to take the tablet from 0% to 100% in just 35 minutes with 10 minutes of charging guaranteeing 45%.
Having such fast charging can have a bad effect, but Xiaomi negates that by including two custom chips: P2 and G1. The P2 chip monitors fast charging while the G1 chip monitors battery health.
Software
The Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro 12.4 comes running on HyperOS based on Android 14.
Xiaomi debuts a Workmen interface which allows you to have a triple screen split for better multitasking on the tablet.
To improve usability, this tablet can be used as a second display or paired with an external monitor for your PC.
Others
This tablet comes with Wi-Fi 7, and Bluetooth 5.3, and it has an NFC for file transfer only. It is equipped with a USB 3.2 type-C port.
It has six speakers and four mics around the phone, and with support for Dolby Atmos, you get a truly immersive stereo experience.
Xiaomi also launched two accessories specifically for this tablet, and they are the Focus Stylus and Smart Touch Keyboard.
The stylus pen has a 3ms latency with 8,192 levels of pressure. The keyboard is quite good as it has full-sized backlit keys with a mechanical trackpad
As for additional use, the tablet can be made as part of the infotainment screen of the Xiaomi SU7 EV via the pogo pins on the back.
