The list of new products also includes the company’s next-gen tablets; the Xiaomi Pad 6 and the Pad 6 Pro. These come with a number of upgrades over their predecessors to compete with the likes of the latestOnePlus Pad. Have a look at the details below.

Xiaomi Pad 6 Series: Specs and Features

The Xiaomi Pad 6 series features an all-metal chassis and looks similar to theXiaomi Pad 5. The first upgrade is in the form of the 11-inch 2.8K LCD display with support fora 144Hz variable refresh rate, much like the OnePlus Pad. The display supports 550 nits of brightness, HDR10, Dolby Vision, TÜV Rheinland low blue light certification, and DC dimming.

Faster performance is also ensured with the presence of an upgraded chipset. While the Xiaomi Pad 6 has theSnapdragon 870 SoC, the Xiaomi Pad 6 Pro is powered by the high-endSnapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset. While this is a year-old chipset, we can expect some decent performance out of it. The tablets come equipped with up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.

The Pad 6 Pro is backed by an 8,600mAh battery with67W fast charging. The Pad 6 settles for 33W but has a bigger 8,860mAh battery. Another change is the camera system. The Xiaomi Pad 6 Pro sports a dual-camera setup (50MP main camera and a 2MP depth sensor) and a 2MP selfie shooter. The Pad 6, on the other hand, has a 13MP single rear camera and an 8MP front snapper.
