Xiaomi is set to unveil the Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro Max in China on September 7, alongside the Xiaomi 18 Fold. This new tablet is expected to feature Xiaomi’s in-house Xring O3 processor, which the company claims is "desktop-class" and capable of running applications typically found on personal computers. According to preliminary reports, the Xring O3 includes up to 10 cores operating at a high clock speed of 4.35 GHz, a graphics unit with 16 cores, and performance that surpasses Apple’s A19 Pro chip in some tests. The tablet is also rumored to have a 13.3-inch LCD display, run on the HyperOS 4 operating system, and include a battery larger than 10,000 mAh with 120-watt fast charging. Some sources suggest it may have 16 GB of RAM, a 3.4K resolution screen, a 3:2 aspect ratio, and a peak brightness of 1,000 nits. The Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro Max appears to be designed with creative professionals in mind, functioning as a secondary screen, graphics tablet, and console monitor. When connected to a PC, it can act as an extended display or a graphics tablet using the Focus Stylus Pro pen. It can also serve as a secondary monitor for portable gaming consoles like the Steam Deck or ROG Ally through a DisplayPort connection on its USB-C port. The tablet includes built-in stereo speakers and is said to support the TourBox controller, which allows for two-handed drawing. The 3:2 screen format is often preferred for drawing and document work over the more common 16:9 format used in most tablets and laptops. Xiaomi has not officially revealed the price or any plans for a launch outside of China. Previous Xiaomi devices equipped with the Xring processor, such as the Xiaomi Pad 6 Pro, have remained exclusive to the Chinese market. The Pad 9 Pro Max marks a departure from the Xiaomi Pad 8, which used a Qualcomm processor instead of Xiaomi’s in-house chip. However, details about the device’s connectivity features and whether it will be released internationally remain unclear. At this time, no official information has been confirmed regarding the price, connections, or international launch plans for the Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro Max.
