Design

The tablet comes in graphite gray/green/blue colors that feel pleasant to the touch. The camera module is harmoniously integrated into the design. The device has a lock button with a built-in fingerprint scanner. It is compact and lightweight, making it easy to carry. However, its size may make it difficult to hold in one hand for a long time.

Performance

To support all its features, the tablet is powered by an 8-core Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor. This makes it capable of handling work tasks as well as providing an enjoyable gaming experience. To maintain its performance for a long time, the device comes with a 10000mAh battery. It can work up to 22 days in standby mode. The tablet also supports fast charging (120W), which can fully charge the device in approximately 35 minutes.

Can it replace a laptop?

It's hard to say. It depends on the tasks you need to do. Some tasks are objectively easier to do on a laptop/PC, but the choice depends on personal convenience and needs. However, the Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro can be a very good assistant for work and studying. It is powerful enough, has a large screen and offers useful features. If you additionally buy keyboard and smart pen, managing tasks becomes even easier.

While many still see tablets as mainly gaming and video-watching devices, the Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro shows that a tablet can also serve as a fully functional device for work.
