Xiaomi has launched the Pad 7S Pro 12.5 in China, and it’s being marketed as more than just a tablet. The company says this one’s meant to be a proper PC companion—and maybe even a laptop alternative if you throw in the optional keyboard. This launch comes just a month after the debut of Xiaomi’s first in-house chip, the Xring O1, which now powers this new tablet. This article breaks down all the key details about the latest Xiaomi Pad 7S Pro 12.5, including its specifications and expected price in Nepal.
Xiaomi Pad 7S Pro 12.5 Overview
Display
The Pad 7S Pro features a 12.5-inch screen with a 3:2 aspect ratio and a 144Hz refresh rate. Xiaomi says this size sits nicely between the typical 11-inch and 14-inch tablets, giving you more room without feeling too bulky.
Slim design, more battery
This tablet is 5.8mm thick, which is slimmer than last year’s Pad 7 Pro. However, it weighs a bit more at 576g. On the plus side, it packs a larger 10,610mAh battery and supports 120W fast charging. That’s a big jump from the Pad 7 Pro’s 67W charging and 8,850mAh battery.
Audio and accessories
The Pad 7S Pro includes 6 speakers with Dolby Atmos support, which is up from the 4 speakers in the previous model. Xiaomi is also offering a magnetic keyboard with a fully adjustable hinge, plus a “Soft Light” screen protector that helps cut down reflections.
The tablet is designed to sync easily with your computer. It supports wireless mirroring to PC with just 41ms latency, file transfers, and shared mouse-keyboard input. It works with both Mac and Windows systems. It also runs the latest WPS Office, and supports apps like ZWCAD (for DWG files) and CAJViewer.
PC Features: Wireless mirroring, shared keyboard/mouse, file transfer
Accessories: Magnetic keyboard (optional), Soft Light screen protector (optional)
OS: Not specified, assumed Xiaomi’s HyperOS

So this is the new ROG Strix G16 (2025) from Asus that I have in for review today, and it’s one of the best gaming laptops I’ve ever used. I’m not even kidding! I was waiting so long to test next-gen machines with NVIDIA’s RTX 50 series GPUs — and man — the Strix G16 didn’t disappoint at all.
Well… I did come across a few issues with this guy that you’ll definitely want to know before spending all your money ‘cause the Strix G16 certainly isn’t cheap. Trust me.
The one I’ve been testing has an RTX 5070 Ti GPU, Intel’s Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU, 32GB of DDR5 memory, and 1TB of Gen4 SSD. And a…ll this is gonna cost you exactly NPR 416,900 in Nepal. So before you spend all your money on this beast, I highly suggest you check out my review till the very end. But first, let’s take a brief look at what it’s packing.
Asus ROG Strix G16 (2025) review: Specifications
Dimensions, Weight: 13.94 x 10.55 x 0.90 – 1.21 inches (W x D x H), 2.65 kg
Okay, so I’ll talk about all the things I don’t like about this laptop in just a minute — but as always — I wanna start with the positives. And some of you might find it a little hard to believe, but one of the most impressive things about this year’s Strix G16 is actually the design.
So it’s got the usual stuff like a premium build in this not-so-inspiring colorway, right?
This lid here is made of aluminum while the rest of the chassis is all-plastic to keep the weight down. Which definitely makes sense since the G16 is already pretty heavy at 2.65 kg! And despite the metal/plastic hybrid build, I found everything to be perfectly sturdy here. From the hinge to the keyboard deck… everything.
So like I said… it’s the usual stuff. But flip this thing over and that’s where the real magic is.
‘Cause Asus has completely redesigned the Strix G16 this year to make it the most upgrade-friendly laptop I’ve laid my hands on yet. Easily.
I don’t need to worry about different types of tiny screw heads or misplacing them since all I gotta do is slide the tab to the left and lift it open. That is literally all I need to do to access the RAM, the SSD, and even the three fans of this laptop.
The M.2 slots for storage and the SO-DIMM slots for the memory also use that “Q-latch” system we first saw on Asus motherboards… which means I don’t even need any external tool in case I wanna make any upgrade.
It’s so easy, it’s so cool, I absolutely love it!
Thunderbolt 5, baby!
What makes the Strix G16’s design even cooler for me is that this is also the very first laptop I’ve used with a couple of next-gen Thunderbolt 5 ports alongside everything else! Yeah, not Thunderbolt 4 but Thunderbolt 5.

Up to 100W
With twice the data transfer speed, much better support for external monitors, and up to 240W of power delivery… just to name a few. Of course, the entire “Thunderbolt 5 ecosystem” is very much in its infancy right now, but at least the Strix G16 is future-proof on that front.
Asus ROG Strix G16 (2025) - Ports
1 of 2
1x power input, 1x 2.5G LAN, 1x HDMI 2.1, 1x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, 2x Thunderbolt 5 (USB-C)
2x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A
The only thing I wish Asus had done differently is put some of these ports — like the one for power and the two-and-a-half gigs ethernet connection — at the back for a cleaner cable management. But I guess since this Strix G16 no longer has exhaust vents on the sides like last year’s model, the back of the laptop had to be all about letting the warm air out.
Display
16-inch “ROG Nebula” WQXGA (2560 x 1600) IPS panel
100% DCI-P3 colors, 500 nits brightness
240Hz refresh rate, G-SYNC, Advanced Optimus
Alright.
So just like the design, I love this display as well. It sucks that Asus is still reserving “OLED” gaming for its more expensive “Zephyrus” and “SCAR” lineup but man… this is — excuse me — a damn fine IPS display. It’s sharp, it’s smooth, it’s bright, and it’s perfectly color-accurate.
I mean, what else do I need to say about it?
You’re looking at a giant 16” IPS panel with a 2.5K resolution, a buttery 240Hz refresh rate, 100% DCI-P3 colors, and 500 nits of maximum brightness. Although my unit of the Strix G16 actually peaked at 555 nits at 100% brightness, so that’s all the more impressive!
Asus ROG Strix G16 (2025) - Display
1 of 2
Color gamut
Brightness
I also love this nice matte coating to get rid of light reflections around me, which could’ve been rather distracting. So doesn’t matter if I’m gaming, doing some color-sensitive work like photo and video editing, or just handling some casual business, the Strix G16’s display is totally a “one-size-fits-all” thing.
But I must tell you that I had to do quite a bit of “diagnosing” to get it working just right.
It’s never Lupus.
So the thing is, auto-brightness is something I always disable on any laptop I use. But instead of the “Intel Graphics Command Center” app where this setting usually hides, it turns out Asus has overridden that with its own setting inside the “Armoury Crate” app.
What’s worse is that my unit of the Strix G16 simply wasn’t as vibrant by default.
The colors looked visibly washed out, and when I measured it, I was right! This guy was only carrying 75% of the DCI-P3 gamut versus 100% as Asus promised.
Color gamut (before “diagnosis”)
And after a lot of Google searches looking up potential solutions on different forums, it turns out I needed to replace that Intel app I talked about earlier with a newer “Intel Graphics Software”. Then I had to update the display driver and also disable the “auto color management” feature from system settings.
Keyboard
Full-size chiclet keyboard, no Numpad
Per-key RGB backlight
I didn’t have that many problems with its keyboard though.
Maybe Asus could’ve added a little more contrast to the key engravings — at least for the Function keys — since they’re quite hard to read. The right Shift key is also smaller than I’m used to, and I’m sure some of you are already clenching your fist for the lack of a numpad on a 16-inch laptop as well.
But in spite of all those things, I have totally loved typing here. ‘Cause coming from my MacBook’s short 1mm travel keys, the Strix G16’s keys have double the travel distance. Which means you really feel the keys register for that satisfying feel. This is also among the quietest keyboards I’ve used, and of course, it’s got per-key RGB lighting that I can customize so easily from the “Aura Creator” app.
It’s not just the individual keys either. The Strix G16 even brings an RGB lightbar that covers the entire bottom chassis for a glorious, glorious lightshow.
Okay, with all that out of the way, let me now talk about its performance.
So, to recap what I said earlier in this review, the Asus ROG Strix G16 (2025) ships with Intel’s latest “Arrow Lake-HX” processor: the Core Ultra 9 275HX. There is technically a slightly more powerful mobile CPU in Intel’s lineup, but the only difference between these two is 100 MHz of clock speed so… I don’t really mind calling it a flagship processor.
Upgrades, upgrades, everywhere.
And compared to last year’s Core i9-14900HX, it has a healthy 20% upgrade in terms of multi-core performance.
Whereas your GPU options here range from the budget RTX 5060 all the way to RTX 5080. The one I’ve been testing has RTX 5070 Ti, and you know what?
It might just be the GPU you should be considering if you really wanna see that generational upgrade in the RTX 50 series GPUs. Or the more expensive ones if money’s no object. I say so because just like on the older RTX 40 lineup, the performance of RTX 5060 and RTX 5070 mobile GPUs don’t really scale that much beyond 100W.
Which is totally not a problem for the 5070 Ti, by the way.
The Strix G16’s RTX 5070 Ti has a total 140W TGP (including 25W from Dynamic Boost) — and in all the benchmarks I ran or the games I tested — it had no problem sipping 140W of power when needed.
Asus ROG Strix G16 (2025) - Power consumption
1 of 2
3DMark Fire Strike Ultra
Cyberpunk 2077
And unlike the lower-tier RTX 50 series GPUs with just 8 gigs of VRAM, the 5070 Ti also has 12GB of VRAM… so you can really game at higher resolution with smooth fps and good visual fidelity.
And when I played a bunch of games at native 1600p resolution at the highest settings I could find, almost all of them ran without any sort of “out of video memory” error. I was originally planning on testing them at 1440p as well, but since most modern laptops have a taller 16:10 display, I thought this should be standard from now on.
One more thing.
I also disabled the MUX switch on this thing since I was getting frequent stutters in some of the games. While I even had some creative apps like Premiere Pro crash on me when disabling the integrated graphics using the MUX switch.
Alright.
So the first game I played was Cyberpunk 2077. And with both graphics and ray tracing set to “Ultra”, I was getting 32 fps on average with a 1% low of 22 fps. Not bad for a “70” series GPU, but you probably already know that the RTX 50 series has a special trick called “DLSS 4” to make the gameplay feel a whole lot smoother and responsive.
Especially with something called “Multi Frame Generation” that uses AI to generate up to three additional frames for each real frame the GPU renders.
It doesn’t work with all games — but on the games that do support DLSS 4 — it can be a literal game-changer. Since I went from just 32 fps average to 114 fps with multi frame generation set to 2x on Cyberpunk 2077. Or a ridiculous 175 fps at the 4x option. Now, cranking up the multi frame gen settings can result in some graphical artifacts, but… this is pretty cool.
But what about input delay?
Next up, I played Marvel Rivals.
This one also supports multi frame generation, which means I went from just 60 fps average to an impressive 220 fps with a simple click of a button.
I was kinda worried about input latency here since adding artificial frames in between the real ones can add a lot of input delay. Plus, unlike Cyberpunk, it’s also a pretty fast-paced game… so you would totally feel the increased latency if it existed. But I must say I honestly never noticed any sort of input delay. I had a couple of my colleagues try it out as well, and they said they had a similar experience too.
And other than these two, I played Forza Horizon 5, Counter-Strike 2, and GTA V… all of which managed an easy 100+ fps with just pure. rasterized. rendering.
Control was the only game that felt a little too much to handle for the RTX 5070 Ti at “Ultra” settings. With a near 30 fps on average. Although after I lowered the render resolution to just 800p and then used DLSS to upscale the image, I was getting a much more playable 70 fps average.
So cool!
Besides excellent gaming results, I’m equally impressed by the Strix G16’s thermals. Because no matter what game it was, the keyboard deck itself felt perfectly cool to touch. Never hitting beyond 36 – 37ºC near the “WASD” and the arrow key area.
And even at its max fan speed, the Strix G16 only ever got as loud as 47 dB. I have seen gaming laptops with far louder fan noise (at 50+ decibels) with far worse thermals, so… this is just spectacular!
Asus ROG Strix G16 (2025) - CPU, GPU temperature
1 of 2
Cyberpunk 2077
100% CPU, GPU load
I was also taking a close look at the CPU and GPU temperatures when I was gaming — and although that Intel chip would easily climb to 90ºC and beyond — the GPU remained significantly cooler at around 70ºC only.
This was a trend I noticed when using creative apps as well. There was definitely no performance throttling — and everything from working with 4K video projects with multiple layers on Premiere Pro to working with 3D animation on Blender went as smoothly as I expected them to — but that’s something you need to know about anyway.
What’s not so great about the Strix G16?
Okay.
So far… I’ve talked about the Strix G16’s design that I love, its display that I love, its keyboards that I love, and its performance that I love even more. And as you might have already guessed, I’m not that fond of the rest of the stuff.
Trackpad
Glass trackpad with Windows Precision drivers
Like it trackpad, for example. I mean, it has all the right ingredients for a great trackpad, but it just doesn’t act like one for me. It’s spacious, it’s glass-topped, but I don’t know man… there’s like a 30% chance it accidentally decides to select text or drag something off the screen when I’m simply trying to scroll through a page.
Webcam and speakers
FHD (1080p) IR camera (no physical privacy shutter)
4-speaker system (2 tweeters + 2 woofers)
I also found that the Strix G16 pretty much has a potato for a webcam. It does support Windows Hello face login but… the video itself looks so grainy and so lacking in detail that I’d rather use my phone as a webcam in case of any important online meetings.
And for a big 16-inch laptop, its speakers and battery life aren’t that great either. Yes… its downfiring speakers get quite loud, but it sounds a little too thin with not a lot of bass for me to actually enjoy the music.
Battery
90Wh battery, 280W AC adapter
Whereas I can’t call 3.5 – 4 hours of battery life that great either. I know that’s pretty in line with what you get with most gaming laptops with an Intel CPU… but yeah.
Asus ROG Strix G16 (2025) review: Conclusion
Alright… I guess I’d better wrap it up now.
So, despite all its minor flaws, I think Asus has absolutely nailed it with ROG Strix G16 (2025). The flashy redesign paired with fiercely powerful new chips means there are just so many things to love about this guy. And if you’re looking for a powerful gaming/content creation laptop that will age gracefully over the years, the Strix G16 definitely looks like one of your top choices at around NPR 4 lakhs.
Yes, I completely agree that Asus could’ve done a better job in terms of the price. Considering there are other RTX 5070 Ti laptops in Nepal at a lower price, like the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 AI (2025). But the Strix G16 does have its own charm with a superior design, Thunderbolt 5 connectivity, nicer RGB, and slightly better thermals, to name a few.
Our video review of Asus ROG Strix G16 (2025) is coming up pretty soon
Asus ROG Strix G16 (2025) review: Pros and cons
Pros
Cons
• Powerful performance with Intel Core Ultra 9 + RTX 5070 Ti
So if there’s one brand I trust with making killer tablets, it’s Xiaomi. From the budget Redmi Pads to the unbeatable Xiaomi Pad series of midrange tablets, and recently even the flagship Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra, Xiaomi simply does not miss. And when I got to check out the new Redmi Pad 2, I was pretty sure I was gonna end up loving it as well.
It’s got a solid all-metal build, a high-res 90Hz display, a gigantic 9000 mAh battery, and Xiaomi’s HyperOS 2 software, which is easily among my favorites in the tablet world.
Do you know what’s really wild though?
A…ll those impressive specs and the Redmi Pad 2 still starts at just NPR 24,999 in Nepal. So it already looks like this thing is an easy recommendation, right? Seeing how there aren’t many budget tablets in the market to begin with?
Well, not quite. Because as much as I would love to say that this is the best budget tablet and you should just… go for it, I found that Xiaomi has made some weird (and some honestly questionable) compromises with the Redmi Pad 2.
Redmi Pad 2 review: Specifications
Design and Build: 254.58 x 166.04 x 7.36 mm, 510 gm
Color options: Graphite Gray, Mint Green, Lavender Purple
So like I mentioned before, the Redmi Pad 2 has a premium all-metal design. From the frames to the backplate… it’s all metal. That means this budget tablet feels just as premium as other, more expensive ones that cost 2 – 3 times as much!
And even though the Pad 2 weighs a little over 500 grams, I didn’t have much problem holding it for a while, thanks to a nice weight distribution on both ends. Whether I was looking something up while I was at my desk or streaming my favorite series in bed. I know it’s super subtle but I love this dual-tone finish as well.
Whereas Xiaomi hasn’t skipped on the basic stuff like a headphone jack and a matte finish at the back to get rid of fingerprint smudges either. So yeah, as far as the design is concerned, the Redmi Pad 2 earns a solid A!
Display
11-inch 2.5K IPS panel
90Hz refresh rate, 600 nits peak brightness
Widevine L1 certified
But I’m gonna have to give its display an “A-” or a “B+” to be honest.
Don’t get me wrong, Xiaomi has shipped a pretty nice 11” IPS panel here. It’s quite sharp with a 2.5K resolution, the colors look nice, it can get as bright as 600 nits, it’s also Widevine L1 certified for high-res playback on Netflix, and that 90Hz refresh rate also works across most apps to make things feel just a little smoother.
That means from watching movies to browsing the web, everything feels genuinely enjoyable on this tablet. And if you’re a night owl like me, I bet you’re gonna love the Redmi Pad 2’s display as well because it’s got everything from DC dimming to TÜV’s low blue light certification to help reduce eye strain when you’re using it at night.
Plus, its quad speakers also sound pretty great if you’re mostly thinking of using it as a multimedia device. The loudness is there, the vocals are a standout — and unlike what I originally thought — it doesn’t sound completely flat either.
Yup… there’s actually some bass out of these speakers.
Trouble in paradise?
That being said, I found two major issues with the Redmi Pad 2’s display:
So number 1, its auto brightness simply doesn’t work as nicely as I’d expected.
You might think this is something Xiaomi can easily fix with a software update but nope. I actually think this is a hardware issue since the Redmi Pad 2 has a virtual light sensor instead of a real one. Aka… it’s actually using the front camera to adjust brightness levels according to the ambient light around me. And that is both slow and inaccurate to adjust brightness levels.
And number 2, the Redmi Pad 2’s display is super reflective as well.
I know it feels like I’m being quite nitpicky on a budget tablet but these two things honestly bothered me quite a bit. So since it’s got a pretty underpowered chip, whenever I try to launch an app, I often see my own reflection on the screen for a good couple of seconds before the content itself loads.
That just felt super weird to me.
Performance
MediaTek Helio G100 Ultra (6nm)
6/8GB RAM, 128/256GB storage (expandable up to 2TB)
Okay. Let’s jump into performance now.
And the one thing I immediately need to tell you about the Redmi Pad 2’s performance is that its “Helio G100 Ultra” chip doesn’t have any upgrade over the Helio G99 on the original Redmi Pad (review) that launched nearly three years ago.
Helio G100 Ultra
Helio G99
CPU
2x Cortex-A76 (up to 2.2 GHz)
6x Cortex-A55 (up to 2.0 GHz)
GPU
Arm Mali-G57 MC2
Memory
LPDDR4X RAM (up to 4,266 Mbps)
Storage
UFS 2.2 storage type
IPS
Up to 200MP camera
Up to 108MP camera
It’s got the same CPU cluster, the same GPU… pretty much the same everything. MediaTek did upgrade the image processor for the new one, but come on… that’s never gonna matter on a tablet.
So while the Helio G100 is still a decent budget chip that’s powerful enough for casual, everyday work like scrolling the web, editing documents, and watching videos, I could almost always feel a little bit of delay, a little bit of lag in everything I did.
I tried downscaling the system animations to see if that would change anything, although I can’t say the improvement was that massive. That means you should keep your gaming expectations from the Redmi Pad 2 quite low as well. Wayyyy low in fact. Yes, you can play light games like “Subway Surfers”, “Clash of Clans” (or even something like PUBG at 40 fps) and that’s about it.
Software
Android 15 with Xiaomi’s HyperOS 2.0 on top
No word on future updates
At least the software side of things is pretty awesome here.
It’s still every bit as clean and free of bloatware apps, and also with some neat ecosystem features like sharing the clipboard or transferring phone calls if you own a Xiaomi phone. Whereas the Redmi Pad 2 also supports all the multitasking features you could want, like split screen, floating window, and even app pairs.
I was a little surprised to see that the “search button” on HyperOS 2, which I loved so much, hasn’t made it to the global region for some reason. While that low-powered processor means you don’t get any of those AI-based writing or drawing features we first saw on the Xiaomi Pad 7, on the Redmi Pad 2 either.
But still… I’d say this guy delivers an A+ software experience overall. The only thing that’s bothering me a little is the fact that Xiaomi hasn’t talked about future software for the Redmi Pad 2. I guess it should receive a couple of years of updates at least, but… I’m not sure.
Cameras
8MP rear, 5MP selfie camera
Moving on, its cameras are quite basic though. Just like the software, its cameras are quite basic too. I guess that goes for pretty much every other tablet so… yeah. Both its 8MP rear camera and the 5MP front-facing camera are good enough for scanning documents or attending casual video calls. That’s it.
Battery
9,000 mAh battery (18W charging)
15W adapter in the box
I must admit that the Redmi Pad 2’s battery life is its strong point though.
Xiaomi has managed to fit in a massive 9,000 mAh battery inside of this thing, and with all my tablety usage, I was comfortably getting a day and a half’s worth of juice before I needed to fetch its charger. And with the 15W adapter you get inside the box (even though the Redmi Pad 2 supports slightly faster 18W charging), a complete refill takes like 2 hours and 50 minutes.
Redmi Pad 2 review: Conclusion
Alright, here’s the deal.
So do I think the Redmi Pad 2 is a good budget tablet? Yes. Yes, it is.
Mostly because it nails some of the basics like design, display, software, and battery life. And for casual users looking for a good multimedia tablet or even students, I think this could be a decent pick. Especially since you can also pair it with the “Redmi Smart Pen” which costs NPR 6,500. Its input delay is a bit noticeable, but I’d say it’s still perfectly fine for taking notes and stuff.
I really wish Xiaomi had gone with a slightly more powerful chip, although for some NPR 25,000, the Redmi Pad 2 pretty much is the cream of the crop in Nepal.
Our video review of Redmi Pad 2 is coming up pretty soon
Redmi has officially unveiled the K80 Ultra, joining the flagship category with top-tier specs across the board.

Display and Build
The phone sports a 6.83-inch OLED display with a 1.5K resolution (2772 × 1280 pixels) and a 144Hz refresh rate. It offers 480Hz touch sampling and reaches up to 3200 nits brightness. For eye protection and color accuracy, the panel supports Dolby Vision, HDR10+, 2560Hz PWM dimming, and DC dimming. Protection comes from Xiaomi Shield Glass.
The body uses a four-curved wrapped metal frame, a fiberglass back panel, and a metal finish around the camera setup. It’s also IP68 rated, so dust and water resistance are included.
Performance and Software
It runs on the Dimensity 9400+ chipset (3nm) paired with Immortalis-G925 MC12 GPU. You get options of 12GB or 16GB LPDDR5X RAM with up to 1TB UFS 4.1 storage. The phone boots HyperOS 2 based on Android 15. Redmi claims an AnTuTu score of 3.24 million, which shows its power on paper at least.
Gaming and Cooling
There’s a Discrete D2 graphics chip onboard, and the phone can push up to 144FPS gameplay. The thermal setup includes a 3D Ice Cycle Cold Pump and a 6500mm² concave-convex vapor chamber to keep things under control.
Camera System
The rear includes a 50MP main sensor (1/1.55″, f/1.88, OIS), an 8MP ultrawide (119°), and LED flash. You can shoot up to 8K video with the back setup. For selfies and calls, the 20MP front camera handles 1080p at up to 60fps.
The phone features dual symmetrical speakers with Dolby Atmos and USB-C Hi-Res audio. For haptics, it comes with the 0916C vibration motor with a closed-loop driver IC.
Battery and Charging
Powering all of this is a 7,410mAh battery built on high-density silicon-carbon tech. Charging is handled by a 100W wired fast charger, which should deliver quick top-ups without a problem.

This article will discuss everything about the latest Fairphone 6, including its specifications, expected price in Nepal and availability.

Powering the device is the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 paired with 8GB RAM and 256GB UFS 3.1 storage, expandable via microSDXC.

Not the biggest, but manageable for daily use.
You can attach accessories like a card holder, lanyard, or finger loop using two screws. There’s also a “Moments Key”, a yellow switch that activates a monochrome UI mode and limits access to five essential apps — a kind of built-in digital detox feature.
