Xiaomi Launches Pad 7 Ultra Tablet With Self-Made Chipset And 12,000mAh Battery: Price, Features
Last Updated: Xiaomi is offering its own XRING O1 chipset on the new Ultra tablet and Xiaomi 15 series phone but these products are limited to its home market. Xiaomi makes phones, laptops and even EVs. Now, the company has entered the big boy arena with its new 3nm chipset that is powering the Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra tablet. The new hardware made in-house is Xiaomi's big attempt to rival Google Tensor and Apple A-series chipsets, not in terms of the performance but its ability. The Pad 7 Ultra and Xiaomi 15s Pro models are getting a taste of the XRING O1 chipset, confined to China for now. The Pad 7 Ultra is the latest addition to its Pad 7 series in the region. Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra With XRING O1 Chipset: What It Offers The tablet features a 14-inch 3.2K OLED display with 120Hz refresh rate. It is powered by the XRING O1 chipset with 16GB RAM and up to 1TB storage. We will have to wait for the benchmark scores to tell its power but going with an Ultra moniker means it should ideally compare with the Snapdragon 8 Gen or the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 series chipsets. The device comes with a 50MP rear and a 32MP front camera for videos, selfies and meetings. It has eight speakers with Dolby Atmos support and will work with the keyboard and stylus that you buy separately. You get the HyperOS 2.0 version out of the box and multiple upgrades promised. The tablet packs a 12,000mAh battery with support for 120W fast charging and it weighs around 609 grams and a slim frame. Xiaomi did sign a multi-year deal with Qualcomm to use the Snapdragon 8 Gen chipsets globally for phones like the Xiaomi 15 Ultra and more. The Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra tablet price starts around Rs 67,000 in China, where you have the Galaxy Tab S10 series and the iPad Air 13-inch model. First Published: May 26, 2025, 13:06 IST

Xiaomi launches new advanced in-house mobile chip
BEIJING: Tech giant Xiaomi unveiled a new advanced in-house mobile chip on Thursday, a significant milestone for the company as Chinese firms shift resources towards home-grown technology against a bleak international trade backdrop. Xiaomi, which sells goods from smartphones to vacuum cleaners and electric vehicles (EVs), is one of China's most prominent consumer electronics firms. With the XRING O1, it becomes only the second smartphone brand globally after Apple to mass produce its own 3-nanometre chips, among the most advanced on the market. This despite being a latecomer to the chip industry, Xiaomi founder Lei Jun said at a launch event on Thursday, joking that the feat had been 'harder than ascending to heaven'. Xiaomi took early steps into semiconductors for smartphones with the launch of the firm's first in-house chip, the Surge S1, in 2017. But the group was forced to halt production of the chip due to technical and financial obstacles. Lei said the journey to developing the XRING O1 had taken over a decade. 'How much hardship, how much sweat, how much untold pain have been involved in these 11 years? How much courage and determination did it take to make this decision?' he said. The XRING O1 will first be deployed in Xiaomi's new 15S Pro flagship smartphone and the Pad 7 Ultra tablet, which were also launched Thursday along with a preview of the firm's first electric SUV. A number of Chinese firms are racing to develop their own chips with the aim of freeing themselves from reliance on foreign suppliers. Xiaomi is only the fourth smartphone brand globally to have developed its own system-on-chip, with Huawei the only domestic competitor. 'This represents yet one more step toward China reaching self-sufficiency in this crucial industry—as well as in broader ICT and electronics supply chains,' Stephen Ezell from US-based think tank Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) told AFP. Over the past few years, Washington has sharply tightened export controls on advanced chip technology to China, citing national security concerns. Chinese chip foundries are restricted from accessing foreign equipment needed for cutting-edge chip production—meaning that firms have to rely on overseas foundries for 5nm-process and below. Xiaomi has not confirmed which company is manufacturing the XRING O1, though Lei said it uses the same second generation 3nm-process technology as Apple's latest chips. Apple contracts Taiwanese chipmaking titan TSMC for its fabrication. The chip is a 'significant' achievement for Xiaomi, and allows it to reduce 'its reliance on external designers' such MediaTek and Qualcomm, Washington-based semiconductor and technology analyst Ray Wang told AFP. 'Longer term, owning its SoC (system-on-chip) roadmap will insulate Xiaomi's devices from the US–China geopolitical tensions and help mitigate global supply-chain disruptions,' he said. – AFP

Xiaomi follows Apple, Google with in-house Xring O1 chip for phones, tabs
China's Xiaomi is launching the Xiaomi 15S Pro smartphone and Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra tablet with the company's maiden in-house chipset, the Xring O1. According to 9To5Google, the company is making a shift as it moves toward self-reliance by reducing dependence on third-party chip makers like Qualcomm. Xring O1 system-on-chip: Details According to the report, Xiaomi's first custom-built system-on-chip (SoC), Xring O1, is built on a 3nm architecture. It will include a 10-core central processing unit (CPU), and a 16-core graphic processing unit (GPU). The chip will also feature a 6-core neural processing unit (NPU) which has been made dedicatedly for handling on-device processing for Xiaomi's native artificial intelligence-powered features. This SoC will debut on the Xiaomi 15S Pro and Pad 7 Ultra, but may also appear in future Xiaomi products. Xiaomi 15S Pro: What to expect As per a report by GSMArena, the Xiaomi 15S Pro smartphone is expected to retain the premium design and specifications of the Xiaomi 15 Pro. It will sport a 6.73-inch LTPO AMOLED QHD+ resolution display with a refresh rate of 120Hz. For imaging, the smartphone is expected to feature a triple camera set-up with a 50MP main camera coupled with an ultra-wide camera and a 5x periscope telephoto lens. It is likely that it will pack a 6,100mAh battery which will support 90W wired charging. The device will run on Xiaomi HyperOS 2, based on Android 15, and is expected to come in two colourways: Black and Blue. Xiaomi pad 7 Ultra: What to expect The Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra tablet will be powered by the XRING O1 chip, and will likely sport a 14-inch 3.2K OLED panel with a peak brightness of 1,600 nits. The Xiaomi pad 7 Ultra tablet will pack a 12,000mAh battery, which is expected to deliver up to 18.95 hours of video playback and 528 days in ultra-power-saving mode. Xiaomi has revealed that HyperOS 2 will be optimised for the tablet and offer enhanced multitasking experience. The Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra will be compatible with the company's new magnesium alloy tablet keyboard, built specifically for this unit.
