Xiaomi India just confirmed it — an official teaser video dropped on February 20, 2026, and it’s almost certainly the Xiaomi Pad 8. The ultra-thin device in the footage left fans guessing tablet or laptop, but multiple industry sources point firmly to the Pad 8, which originally debuted in China in September 2025.

Xiaomi Pad 8 India: Expected Specs & Price

No official India pricing yet, but Xiaomi’s Pad 7 pricing pattern gives a reasonable baseline. All specs below are based on the China model and should be treated as expected until Xiaomi India confirms.

Display	11.2-inch IPS LCD, 144Hz, 2136×3200, 800 nits	11.2-inch IPS LCD, 144Hz, 2136×3200, 800 nits

Why This Matters for the Indian Tablet Market

The Xiaomi Pad 8 lands in a sub-₹30,000 segment that’s quietly becoming one of the most competitive in Indian tech — the OnePlus Pad Go 2, Redmi Pad 2 Pro 5G, and Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ are all fighting for the same student and productivity-focused buyer.

What sets the Pad 8 apart on paper: a 9,200mAh battery in a body weighing just 485g, a 144Hz high-res display with Dolby Vision and HDR10 support, and magnetic stylus compatibility — specs that punch above the expected ₹27,000–₹33,000 price range if Xiaomi follows its Pad 7 playbook.

The Pad 8 Pro, powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite and a 32MP front camera, is the better choice for creators and professionals — but its pricing will determine whether it can challenge the Samsung Tab S9 FE.

Xiaomi India’s global launch event is set for February 28, 2026, alongside the Xiaomi 17 series. The Pad 8 India launch is expected around the same window.
