Xiaomi appears to be preparing a new high-end tablet, and the latest leak suggests the Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro Max could bring a substantial hardware upgrade. According to Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station, several key specifications of the upcoming tablet have now surfaced.
The Pad 9 Pro Max is reportedly equipped with a 13-inch large display, giving it a noticeably bigger screen than many mainstream tablets. Xiaomi is also expected to offer a soft-light display version, which could provide a more comfortable viewing experience during extended reading and productivity sessions while maintaining a sharp image.
XRING O3 Could Make Its Tablet Debut
The biggest highlight may be inside the tablet.
The Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro Max is rumored to be the first device to use Xiaomi’s next-generation XRING O3 chipset. The processor is reportedly paired with up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, putting the tablet firmly in flagship territory.
The leaked configuration also points to a battery exceeding 10,000mAh, combined with support for 120W wired fast charging. Despite the large screen and high-capacity battery, the tablet is said to weigh around 650 grams, which would make it relatively light for a device of this size.
Reported CPU Performance
According to the leaked information, XRING O3 will feature a 10-core all-big-core CPU architecture with a maximum clock speed of up to 4.35GHz.
The tipster claims the platform achieved a Geekbench 6 multi-core score of 15,221, representing an approximately 60% improvement over the previous generation.
Power efficiency is also reportedly receiving attention. Xiaomi’s internal testing is said to show around a 25% reduction in power consumption during everyday usage scenarios compared with the previous generation.
These numbers have not yet been independently verified, so they should be treated as preliminary results until Xiaomi officially introduces the chip and tablet.
New GPU Could Bring a Major Graphics Boost
Graphics performance is another area where the XRING O3 is expected to make a significant jump.
The chipset is reportedly the first to use Xiaomi’s new-generation G2-Ultra NX GPU, while retaining a large 16-core configuration.
According to the leaked figures, traditional graphics performance could improve by around 85% compared with the previous generation, while ray-tracing performance may increase by as much as 182%.
Xiaomi is also said to have worked on GPU efficiency alongside raw performance. The goal appears to be delivering higher graphics output without creating a proportional increase in power consumption.
AnTuTu Score Reportedly Tops Five Million
The leaked information claims that XRING O3 reached an AnTuTu overall score of 5,228,014 in Xiaomi’s laboratory testing.
If accurate, that would put the platform above the five-million-point mark and make it one of the most powerful mobile chipsets currently discussed.
However, benchmark results can vary significantly depending on firmware, temperature, test conditions and performance modes. The final retail performance of the Pad 9 Pro Max will therefore be more important than a single pre-launch score.
Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro Max Could Launch Alongside Xiaomi 18 Fold
Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro Max is reportedly scheduled to debut alongside the Xiaomi 18 Fold.
If this information is accurate, the event could become an important showcase for Xiaomi’s latest high-end hardware strategy. The tablet would provide the first major platform for the XRING O3 in a large-screen device, while the Xiaomi 18 Fold would demonstrate the company’s approach to next-generation foldable hardware.
With a 13-inch display, more than 10,000mAh of battery capacity, 120W charging and up to 16GB of memory and 1TB of storage, the Pad 9 Pro Max is shaping up to be an unusually ambitious Android tablet.
The biggest question is whether Xiaomi can turn the impressive leaked benchmark figures into sustained real-world performance while keeping heat and power consumption under control. More definitive information should emerge when Xiaomi officially announces the device and XRING O3.
