• AI Productivity Boost: Built-in Xiaomi HyperAI features like AI Writing, Speech Recognition, Interpreter, Art, and Calculator elevate the Pad Mini into a workflow companion.

Xiaomi PH's launch event on September 25, 2025 at the Maybank Theatre in BGC was not just about the Xiaomi 15T Series. The company also introduced the Xiaomi Pad Mini, a compact tablet that aims to bring serious productivity power into a more portable form factor than traditional tablets. Presented alongside the flagship phones, the Pad Mini positions itself as an AI-powered assistant for creators, students, and professionals who are always on the move.

Compact Yet Capable Design

Xiaomi designed the Pad Mini for comfortable handling. It has an 8.8-inch display and a slim 6.46 mm thickness, with a weight of 326 g, which makes it easier to grip in one hand. The unibody metal construction is finished with a matte texture that resists fingerprints and enhances grip.

Symmetrical internal layout—balancing speakers, battery, and the central SoC—contributes to pleasing weight distribution. Available in Gray and Purple, the Pad Mini offers a refined yet understated color palette.

Display & Visual Quality

At its heart is a 3K (3008 × 1880) display with DCI-P3 coverage and HDR10 / Dolby Vision support. The screen can reach up to 165Hz refresh rate (adaptive to content), ensuring smooth motion for games, animation, and scrolling. Peak brightness is rated around 700 nits (HBM), helping visibility in bright environments.

Xiaomi also includes full eye comfort features: DC dimming, TÜV Rheinland certifications for Low Blue Light, Flicker Free, and Circadian Friendly display. These help reduce strain for extended reading, sketching, or viewing sessions. The Pad Mini supports dual USB-C ports, one of which can serve as a display output (DP 1.4) and the other optimized for host or data roles. This gives it flexibility for power and peripherals.

Performance & Power

Under the hood is a MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ chipset, built on a 3nm process. This chip enables high performance in multitasking, AI processing, and graphics work. The Pad Mini is available in 8GB + 256GB and 12GB + 512GB configurations, using LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage.

Its cooling system has been optimized: Xiaomi states the design centralizes the SoC and distributes heat efficiently to maintain lower grip temperatures. Powering it all is a 7,500 mAh battery with support for 67W HyperCharge, allowing fast top-ups. The Pad Mini also supports 18W wired reverse charging (when battery is above ~70%), meaning it can act as a power bank for other devices. In battery tests, Xiaomi claims up to 15.5 hours video playback, 19.28 hours reading, or about 9.67 hours of MOBA gaming.

AI Features & HyperOS Integration

One of the Pad Mini’s standout strengths is its embedded AI toolkit, powered through Xiaomi HyperAI under HyperOS. These AI tools include:

• AI Writing — summarization, drafting, ideation
• AI Speech Recognition — converting speech to text, with translation
• AI Interpreter — real-time multilingual communication
• AI Art — generate visuals or assist with creative sketching
• AI Calculator — instantly solve math or symbolic inputs

It also integrates Google Gemini and supports Circle to Search with Google, which lets you highlight or scribble on screen to initiate contextual searches. HyperOS is optimized for smooth multitasking, flexible split view setups, gestures, and smart windowing—ideal for productivity workflows on a tablet form factor.

Cameras, Audio, & Connectivity

On the imaging side, the Pad Mini has a 13MP rear camera (f/2.2) capable of 4K 30fps video, plus an 8MP front camera for video calls and content capture. While not built for professional photography, these satisfy general use cases like document scanning, AR, or videocalls.

The audio setup includes dual stereo speakers, Hi-Res Audio, Hi-Res Wireless, and Dolby Atmos support for immersive sound. Connectivity brings WiFi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, USB 3.2 Gen1 (on one port), and multi-mode USB operation.

Pricing & Philippine Availability

In the Philippines, the Xiaomi Pad Mini is officially available starting September 26, 2025. Its Early Bird Promo price is PHP 22,999 for the 8GB + 256GB variant (vs standard PHP 25,999). During the first-day sale (until October 13), buyers also receive a free Pad Mini Cover (SRP PHP 999).

Accessories like the Xiaomi Focus Pen (PHP 3,499) and Redmi Smart Pen (PHP 2,999) are offered to complete the setup. The bundle makes the Pad Mini a polished tool for creators and professionals alike. Other sources list the SRP more generally as PHP 25,999 in the Philippines.

Where the Xiaomi Pad Mini Fits

The Pad Mini is not just a content viewer—it aims to be your portable workstation, creative sketchpad, and AI companion in one. Its compact size, strong performance, and AI features make it compelling for:

• Students or professionals who move between classrooms, cafés, or transit
• Creators or illustrators seeking a responsive device for sketching or concept work
• Anyone wanting a device for reading, browsing, or working without the weight of a full tablet

It doesn’t replace larger tablets for tasks like full video editing or complex 3D work. But it does bring a surprising amount of capability into a slim, elegant form.

When Xiaomi unveiled the 15T Series on September 25, 2025 in BGC, the simultaneous reveal of the Xiaomi Pad Mini added another dimension to the launch: compact AI productivity that doesn’t compromise on performance. With specs like a 165Hz 3K display, HyperAI tools, Dimensity 9400+, and strong battery life, the Pad Mini is a well-rounded tablet offering in today’s market.

The PH launch strategy—aggressive Early Bird pricing, bundled cover, flexible pen accessories—shows Xiaomi’s intent to make this device a real contender in local tablet lineups. For users wanting a smart, capable tablet for work, creation, or daily use, the Pad Mini stands out as one to watch.
