Xiaomi concluded its 14 series announcement event with the unveiling of the Pad 6S Pro 12.4, a new version of Xiaomi’s pro tablets. This title suggests that there may be another Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro with a smaller display, possibly an 11-inch.
The all-metal tablet comes in three colors: black, blue, and green, weighs 590g, and features six speakers and Dolby Atmos support. There are four microphones on the tablet.
It is larger than the current Pad 6 Pro and has a 12.4-inch IPS LCD. The panel has a boxier 3:2 aspect ratio, a higher 3048x2032px resolution, but the same 144Hz refresh rate. Xiaomi claims 900 nits of brightness.
Xiaomi claims that the Pad 6S Pro 12.4’s display is professionally color-calibrated to the CIE2015 color curve, designed to match Xiaomi’s flagship line of TV, laptop, and phone displays.
The display is protected by Gorilla Glass 5 and supports pen input. Xiaomi’s specifications differentiate between the touch sampling rate of a finger and a pen – 360Hz and 240Hz, respectively.
The Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro 12.4 operates on Xiaomi’s version of Android 14 – HyperOS. Some apps are optimized for better multitasking on the tablet’s larger screen – WPS Office and CajViewer support a triple-screen split, something Xiaomi has dubbed the ‘Workbench’ interface. Users can run two apps side-by-side, or several apps as floating windows over the UI.
Users can also pair the tablet with an external monitor or use it as a second display for their Windows laptop.
The Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro 12.4 also includes pogo pins on the back that can magnetically attach to the Xiaomi SU7 EV and make the tablet part of the infotainment system with control over the car’s interface.
The Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro 12.4 is equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset and comes with 8GB, 12GB, or 16GB of RAM. There is also 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage available. The battery is a 10,000mAh unit with 120W charging. The claimed time to reach 100% charge is an impressive 35 minutes, while 10 minutes on the charger promises to restore 45%. Xiaomi has implemented two custom chips to safeguard the battery – a P2 chip monitors fast charging, while the G1 chip manages the battery health.
The Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro 12.4 is currently available in black, green, and blue. The 8/256GB model is priced at CNY 3,299 (€420, £360, INR 38,600), the 12/256GB model at CNY 3,599 (€470, £400, INR 41,400), the 12/512GB at CNY 3,999 (€520, £440, INR 46,800), and the range-topping 16GB/1TB model at CNY 4,499 (€590, £500, INR 52,700).
There are two accessories available for the Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro 12.4 – the Smart Touch Keyboard (CNY 649 – €85, £71, INR 7,500) and the Focus Stylus (CNY 499 – €65, £55, INR 5,750). The keyboard features full-sized and backlit keys and a mechanical trackpad, while the stylus supports 8,192 levels of pressure and has a 3ms latency.
