Xiaomi has officially launched its latest mid-range tablet, the Xiaomi Pad 7, in India. Packed with cutting-edge specifications, AI-driven features, and a premium design, the tablet aims to cater to diverse user needs, from productivity to entertainment.

- 12GB + 256GB: Rs. 30,999
- Nano Texture Display Edition (12GB + 256GB): Rs. 32,999
It comes in three elegant colors: Graphite Grey, Mirage Purple, and Sage Green. The tablet will be available starting January 13 through Amazon, Xiaomi’s official online store, and offline retail outlets.
Customers using ICICI Bank cards can avail of a Rs. 1,000 discount, along with no-cost EMI options for up to six months. The Nano Texture Edition and Focus Keyboard accessories will launch in February 2025.
Display and Build Quality
The centerpiece of the Xiaomi Pad 7 is its 11.2-inch 3.2K LCD display with a resolution of 3200 x 2136 pixels. Designed to provide a superior viewing experience, the display includes:

Why Xiaomi Pad 7 Stands Out
Combining a 3.2K display, AI-powered software, and a Nano Texture Display option, the Xiaomi Pad 7 offers a comprehensive solution for gamers, professionals, and tech enthusiasts.
Its competitive pricing and robust accessory ecosystem make it a formidable choice in the mid-range tablet market.
The Xiaomi Pad 7 will be available across platforms starting January 13, promising a redefined tablet experience for Indian consumers.
