Xiaomi Pad 6 Max debuts with 14" display and SD 8+ Gen 1, Smart Band 8 Pro also unveiled

14 August 2023
The Max display is 62% larger than the Xiaomi Pad 6 Pro. It's a high-quality 120Hz panel that can be used for both work and play. The tablet runs on a 10,000mAh battery.

Apple's locked down OS being the limit for the ipad. Thankfully EU is helping EU users, but the rest are still stuck with apple's prison OS. Hopefully other countries/regions will require the same as the EU with regards to opening up for 3rd party marketplaces. The M-chip based tablets should be great as emulator devices for old games. Lucky users in the EU.

If it happes here too, then I could game my favorite games (that I own) on the go on an ipad, that are yet to be ported to android or ios, though emulators.

For now it is an easy win for the Xiaomi Pad 6 Max, for anyone not residing in the EU and wanting a large tablet with this feature. There are so many amazing games available through emulation. The current state of mobile gaming really does sadden me. No wonder the retro gaming sphere is blooming.

Best option for those that don't have games they they could play though emulators would be Xbox Game pass, or alike. But then one really doesn't need to pay for SD 8+ Gen. 1 (or higher), nor M1 (or higher). Though 5G would be of benefit.

For "modern" titles the 16:10 aspect ratio of the Xiaomi Pad 6 Max also handily beats the 4:3 aspect ratio of the ipad pro. For retro titles (in 4:3, 3:4, 1:1 aspects), one really doesn't need more than budget tablets.

In this regard, the Pad 6 Max is way over powered compared to previous Max devices, that ran 6- or 7-series snapdragon.

    Although this is not running the very latest of series 8 gen. 3, it is still the 8+ gen.1 which is plenty powerful for most use cases.

Get real. That's just giving Samsung free reign in the market for still being the only ones with sd8gen2, and if you can't see that then I don't know what else to say.

                    Anonymous, 15 Aug 2023There will be new wave of AAA android games that will have ... moreThere is 1TB storage version for 500 USD so is 10 50GB AAA games not enough for you to have still half the storage space empty ? People who buy 128/256GB versions dont have 10 plus 50GB games on there need list when they buy a tablet. Never mind that it be like 10 years before you have more then 10 games that be around 50GB in size.

                    So far i have not seen games like i have had on PC that were 50-100GB in size as the quality and how wide area you can play in a game. Like think of Battlefield game and it's map size. I cant say GTA4 as that is like 22GB on PC or at least in requirements needs you to have 22GB free space. It's really rare case when large games come out for android when most are like only 2-3GB in size as it should go trough the process PC went like 10GB games where 20GB was something special and with time the size rise. But then again you tablet wont survive you the 10 years anyways as battery die out or what ever.
                    I had Nexus 7 that lasted 8 years for me while i didnt use it a lot while last year was only charging trough wifi cause the microusb slot was bent and the cable needed to be in special position with pressure to get it charging.

                    For next 5 years i dont see a reason why cant you have like 100 games installed on the tablet with the 16GB ram and 1TB storage. It's just sad argument that 128/256 isn't enough so you gatekeep tha large market who dont need more then that to have there price even lower. Well 477 euro for 8/256 while 16GB RAM 1TB Storage is 600 euro that still is cheaper then 1200 euro for Samsung Tab S9 Ultra with 12/256GB for just your 8gen2. You can get 2 of these Xiaomi Pad 6 Max with 8+gen1 for the money of 1 brand product with little to no performance difference you can feel in gaming for next 5 to 10 years. It be like 1-2fps difference in heavy loading areas.

Samsung needs direct competition, and if you want a cheaper tablet with a cheaper SOC, there's already a Xiaomi Pad 6 (not MAX) version out there for you, use your head.
