Xiaomi Pad 9 Series: Latest Leaks, Confirmed Specs and What Still Isn’t Known

Xiaomi’s next tablet family is shaping up as a three-tier lineup, but the evidence is uneven. Xiaomi has confirmed the Pad 9 Pro Max for a September 2026 launch in China alongside the Xiaomi 18 Fold, as well as its use of the company’s Xring O3 platform. The standard Pad 9 and Pad 9 Pro have not been officially announced, so their specifications remain dependent on leaks and certification records. 3334

The most important change in the reporting is the Pad 9 Pro’s screen size. Early leaks described both the standard and Pro models as roughly 11.2-inch tablets, while newer reports identify the Pro as a much larger 12.5-inch device. That contradiction is not resolved yet.

At a glance: the rumored Xiaomi Pad 9 lineup

Model	Current display leak	Chipset	Battery and charging	Status
Pad 9	About 11.16 inches, likely marketed as 11.2-inch; IPS/LCD, 3.2K, high refresh rate	Not reliably established	9,720mAh; 45W reported	Unannounced
Pad 9 Pro	12.5-inch LCD; 3.2K; up to 144Hz in the latest leak	Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 / SM8845 reported	11,000mAh; 67W reported	Unannounced; model association not confirmed
Pad 9 Pro Max	13.3-inch high-refresh-rate LCD reported; resolution not yet established	Xring O3 confirmed	About 10,000mAh; 120W reported	Confirmed for China in September 2026, but most specifications remain unconfirmed

Xiaomi Pad 9: the least certain model

The standard Pad 9 is currently associated with an approximately 11.16-inch IPS/LCD panel, likely to be marketed as an 11.2-inch display. Early reports also point to a 3.2K resolution and a high refresh rate, although a precise refresh-rate figure has not been established. 378

The same reporting links the tablet to a 9,720mAh battery and 45W wired charging. Its processor, RAM and storage configurations, and exact model number remain unclear. Claims that it will use a particular Snapdragon platform should therefore be treated as preliminary rather than as a settled specification. 378

Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro: newer leak suggests a larger tablet

The latest Pad 9 Pro reports describe a significant departure from the earlier 11.2-inch claims. The tablet is now tipped to feature a 12.5-inch LCD panel with a 3.2K resolution and a refresh rate of up to 144Hz. The same leak points to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, also identified as SM8845, along with an 11,000mAh battery and 67W charging. 451216

That would make the Pro substantially larger than the current Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro while retaining a similar display class. However, Xiaomi has not confirmed the panel, chipset, battery or charging specifications.

Certification evidence and model-number uncertainty

The model number 2612CRPFFC has been linked to a Chinese MIIT registration and reported with 67W charging. Several reports associate it with the Pad 9 Pro, but that product-name assignment comes from tipsters rather than Xiaomi. 41041

The latest reporting also says this model is not expected to use Xring O3. If that identification is correct, Xiaomi’s lineup would separate the Qualcomm-powered Pad 9 Pro from the Xring O3-powered Pro Max. 4

Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro Max: the only officially confirmed tablet

Xiaomi has confirmed that the Pad 9 Pro Max will launch in China in September 2026 alongside the Xiaomi 18 Fold. It has also confirmed that the tablet will use the company’s Xring O3 chipset. The exact launch date and full product specification have not been published in the supplied announcements. 333444

Remaining details come from leaks. The Pro Max is associated with a 13.3-inch high-refresh-rate LCD, a battery of approximately 10,000mAh, and 120W wired charging. Its reported model number is M367FC, which certification-related reporting links to 120W charging. 9104142

The model-number evidence is not completely consistent. One report identifies M367FC with a possible Pad 8S Pro, while later reporting connects it to the Pad 9 Pro Max. That means the 13.3-inch screen and 120W charging are useful indicators of the rumored top tier, but not yet an official specification sheet. 1041

Xring O3: what is known about the Pro Max platform

Xiaomi’s confirmation establishes that the Pad 9 Pro Max will use Xring O3, but it does not provide a complete tablet-specific configuration. Reports describe the chip as a 3nm platform with a 10-core CPU and Arm’s G2-Ultra NX GPU. Those details describe the reported platform and should not be treated as confirmation of every final Pad 9 Pro Max implementation. 38

An alleged Geekbench listing for model M367FC shows 16GB of RAM and scores of 3,474 in single-core performance and 13,229 in multi-core performance. Because the tablet is unreleased, the listing should be considered provisional: retail hardware, software and thermal tuning could differ. 1

Leaked memory and storage configurations reportedly include higher-end versions with 16GB of RAM and either 512GB or 1TB of storage, but Xiaomi has not validated a final storage lineup. 42

How the rumored Pad 9 Pro could improve on the Pad 8 Pro

The current Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro provides a useful baseline. Xiaomi lists it with an 11.2-inch display, 3,200 × 2,136 resolution, up to 144Hz, a 9,200mAh battery and 67W HyperCharge. 171921

If the latest Pad 9 Pro leak is accurate, the main upgrades would be:

• A larger display: 12.5 inches instead of 11.2 inches.
• A larger battery: 11,000mAh instead of 9,200mAh.
• A similar display class: 3.2K LCD with up to 144Hz, rather than a clear jump in resolution or refresh rate.
• A platform change: the leaked Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 would replace the Pad 8 Pro’s Snapdragon 8 Elite platform, although real-world performance cannot be judged before the new tablet is released. 51730

The Pro Max would sit above that model with an even larger reported 13.3-inch panel, Xring O3 silicon and 120W charging. Its display resolution and complete performance profile remain unknown. 93841

What remains unconfirmed

Several questions still require an official Xiaomi announcement:

• Whether the standard Pad 9 and Pad 9 Pro names will be used.
• The final screen sizes, panel technologies, resolutions and refresh rates.
• The standard Pad 9’s processor, RAM, storage and model number.
• The Pro Max’s complete display, memory, storage and battery specifications.
• The relationship between model numbers 2612CRPFFC and M367FC and the final retail names.
• Pricing and availability outside China.

The safest reading of the current evidence is that Xiaomi is preparing tablets around three screen sizes—roughly 11.2, 12.5 and 13.3 inches—with the Pro Max as the confirmed Xring O3 flagship. But the Pad 9 Pro’s reported move from 11.2 inches to 12.5 inches shows why the leaked specifications should remain provisional until Xiaomi publishes the final lineup.
