Xiaomi Pad 8 series set to launch in September

August 8, 2025

Xiaomi is gearing up to drop the Pad 8 series this September, alongside the Xiaomi 16 smartphone, and we have some specs coming to us, which we will be discussing in this article. Let’s dive in to talk about the latest Xiaomi Pad 8 series, including its rumors, specifications, and availability.

Xiaomi Pad 8 Series Overview

Display and Design

There are two models here: the standard Pad 8, codenamed “yupei,” and the Pad 8 Pro, known as “piano.” Both pack large LCD screens ranging from 11 to 12 inches. According the rumors, they are both designed to hit a sweet spot between size and portability.

Performance and Battery

The Pro model runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, which is known to be the best chipset of this year so far. Both versions come with high-capacity batteries and ultra-fast charging, so we can be definitely sure that the phone will be reliable for a long, long time. Plus, they’ve improved thermal management as well.

Gaming and Software

Xiaomi is making sure these tablets handle gaming well, not just in hardware but software too, with dedicated gaming features. However, neither model uses Xiaomi’s XRING O1 chip — that’s still reserved for the Xiaomi Pad 7S Pro and Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra.

Ecosystem and Extras

Launching the Pad 8 series alongside the Xiaomi 16 seems to be a clear play to strengthen Xiaomi’s ecosystem. They want you using multiple devices seamlessly. Also, Xiaomi recommends the MemeOS Enhancer app (available on Google Play) to boost performance and add features across their devices.
