Design and construction
The Pad 8 Pro is a slim tablet with an all-metal unibody design. Its continuous metal frame and low weight make it practical to carry frequently or use while travelling.
Display and stylus
The 144 Hz refresh rate helps make motion and scrolling appear smoother, both in games and during everyday use. Peak brightness of 800 nits helps when using the tablet in bright environments, although outdoor readability also depends on ambient light and reflections.
The tablet supports a stylus sold as an accessory. It can be used for note-taking, drawing and more precise control in supported apps, whether for study or creative work.
Android 16, HyperOS 3 and multitasking
The Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro runs Android 16 with HyperOS 3, an interface adapted for tablets. It supports split-screen use and offers improved notifications, making it easier to combine tasks on the larger display. For example, users can work in an office app while keeping an eye on messages.
The tablet can open up to 20 apps. This can help with switching between tasks, although the number of open apps alone does not indicate how many can be displayed at once or how smoothly they will run under demanding workloads.
Audio and multimedia
Four speakers with Dolby Atmos support provide sound for the tablet. They can create a more spacious audio impression in films and games, while the speakers and 144 Hz display also support video and music playback.
The Pad 8 Pro combines entertainment features with tools for note-taking and working across apps. Its suitability as a work device depends on the apps and tasks the user needs.
