14-inch Xiaomi Pad 6 Max Display for Expansive Usage, Elegant Design

The Xiaomi Pad 6 Max features a 14-inch LCD display with a resolution of 2,880 × 1,800 pixels, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a maximum brightness of 600 nits. This display is color-tuned, supporting HDR10, Dolby Vision, and professional-grade color representation. It maintains color consistency with products like Mi MIX Fold 3, Mi 13 Ultra, and Mi TV Master 86 inches, ensuring worry-free display quality.

The back of the device features a simple design, with only the Xiaomi logo in the upper left corner and the camera module in the upper right corner. Both the frame and the back are made of metal, providing a sturdy and luxurious feel. With a thickness of only 6.53mm and weighing around 750g, Xiaomi Pad 6 Max is not only lightweight but also easy to carry everywhere. Additionally, the device is equipped with eight speakers, including 4 mid-bass and 4 tweeter speakers, supporting Dolby Atmos and MiSound audio technology, delivering a deep and vibrant music listening experience.

Equipped with four microphones, Xiaomi Pad 6 Max helps eliminate ambient noise during video recording and conversations. This enhances communication effectiveness, providing clarity in conversations. Paired with a magnetic keyboard and mouse, Xiaomi Pad 6 Max can transform into a lightweight and convenient laptop. The keyboard also includes a kickstand function and a protective cover for the device.

With a front-facing TOF laser sensor, Xiaomi Pad 6 Max automatically unlocks when someone approaches and locks the screen when no one is around, ensuring convenience and privacy. The smart keyboard supports touch and connects via Bluetooth, making usage more flexible. The rear stand can be adjusted for the most comfortable viewing angle for watching movies, working, or drawing.

Xiaomi Pad 6 Max also supports the Focus Stylus touch pen with 8,192 levels of pressure sensitivity and a super-thin 5nm size. This stylus includes functions such as shortcuts, screenshot capture, and focus adjustment. By tapping on the screen, the shortcut button can create new notes or scroll pages up and down within the application.

The Focus Stylus can also be used as a laser pointer, which is useful when highlighting important points during a meeting. The animated discussion of the experience is detailed below. To enhance the input experience, Xiaomi Pad 6 Max's smart touch keyboard features large keys with spacing and key travel similar to a laptop.

Additionally, there are 15 new independent buttons (13 on top and 2 at the bottom along with the voice button) to conveniently adjust the microphone, screen brightness, volume, and screen lock. The touchpad below is almost the size of a laptop touchpad, and you can use multi-finger gestures to perform various functions, such as swiping left and right to go back to the previous page, swiping down to take a screenshot, and swiping up to view recent tasks.

The MIUIPad interface on Xiaomi Pad 6 Max is well-optimized

Xiaomi Pad 6 Max has two user interfaces: the standard desktop and the workbench mode. In workbench mode, unnecessary information is removed, leaving only the Dock at the bottom. All apps can open the menu through the 'All Apps' icon in the bottom-left corner of the Dock. In workbench mode, the interface becomes brighter and resembles a personal computer. Here, every app opens in a window, and you can open up to 3 apps and 1 floating window (each window operates independently). In regular tablet mode, only a maximum of two windows, including floating windows, can be displayed, and apps open in full screen.

This allows you to chat, watch movies, code, and check information without switching between applications. The multitasking experience, similar to a personal computer in workbench mode, is more convenient, efficient, and enjoyable during use.

Xiaomi Pad 6 Max has integrated the WPS app from computers into this super-sized tablet, making it more versatile as a productivity tool. Users no longer have to go through many options like on mobile phones; instead, the interface and interaction are similar to those on a computer. This helps you edit documents and search for information more easily. The office experience reaches its peak on Xiaomi Pad 6 Max, enhancing efficiency in production work.

The Focus Stylus, accompanying Xiaomi Pad 6 Max, enhances work performance simply and effectively. You can use the shortcut button on the desktop to open note-taking apps and capture ideas instantly. With 8192 levels of pressure sensitivity, the stylus provides a writing-on-paper-like experience and supports handwriting in all applications. The stylus also helps you turn pages and perform other operations conveniently. During presentations, you can control the presentation screen and synchronize content on the tablet and TV without delay. Erasing marked content is also straightforward, just press the Focus button again.

Xiaomi Pad 6 Max delivers a smooth office experience and upgrades photo editing functionality. The colors on Xiaomi Pad 6 Max maintain high consistency with Mi MIX Fold 3, Mi 13 Ultra, and Mi TV Master 86'. With such a large screen, you can make the most of the space.

The photo editing function on Xiaomi Pad 6 Max has a new multi-column interface, providing various image adjustment features such as HSL, color grading, white balance, and many other parameters on the main screen for flexible adjustments.

Many people often edit photos on their mobile phones due to the convenience of built-in editing. However, due to the small size, editing takes up much time. Xiaomi Pad 6 Max addresses this issue by making the editing experience more similar to a computer. After capturing a photo, you can quickly transfer the image via NFC and cloud services, significantly improving the photo editing experience later.

• Performance score of Xiaomi Pad 6 Max

Next, let's dive into the performance tests and gaming on Xiaomi Pad 6 Max to see how it performs. In the AnTuTu V9 benchmark, Xiaomi Pad 6 Max scores a total of 1,087,616, with CPU at 246,631, GPU at 465,226, memory at 197,366, and User Experience (UX) at 178,393. This score is equivalent to the Mi Pad 6 Pro. In the AnTuTu V10 benchmark, Xiaomi Pad 6 Max achieves a score of 1,282,432, with CPU at 333,706, GPU at 475,006, memory at 217,859, and UX at 25,861.

AnTuTu V10 has updated scoring rules, resulting in higher scores compared to the V9 version. However, in a direct comparison, the score of Xiaomi Pad 6 Max still falls within the range expected of a high-end tablet.

On the left are GeekBench 5 scores, with a single-core score of 1343 and a multi-core score of 4313. On the right are GeekBench 6 scores, with a single-core score of 1760 and a multi-core score of 4686. In terms of CPU performance, Xiaomi Pad 6 Max doesn't differ much from the Xiaomi Pad 6 Pro.

In the AndroBench test, Xiaomi Pad 6 Max achieves a sequential read speed of 1.9GB/s, sequential write speed of 1.8GB/s, random read speed of 361MB/s, and random write speed of 415MB/s. These figures meet the standards of UFS 3.1 flash memory.

• Xiaomi Pad 6 Max Gaming Experience

In the high-configuration demanding game 'Yuan Shen,' the author set the image quality to ultra-high and the frame rate to 60 frames per second on Xiaomi Pad 6 Max. The author ran a 15-minute match in the city of Sumeru to test the game's stability.

In the game 'Yuanshin God,' the screen resolution is 1,728×1,080 pixels, with a frame rate of 59.3. Xiaomi Pad 6 Max remains stable during gameplay. Power consumption increases to 10W, including the consumption of the entire device, not just the System-on-Chip (SOC). Compared to the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 2 processor on a phone at 720P resolution in the game 'Yuan Shen,' power consumption ranges from 5W to 6W, so the 10W power consumption is not excessively high.

Using an infrared thermometer, the igeekphone author identified the hottest area at the top, reaching 41°C, while the gripping area was only 32.3°C. The heat concentrates in the non-grip area, preventing prolonged gaming from causing hot hands. However, with the large size of Xiaomi Pad 6 Max, covering the control area with fingers while holding the device for gaming is not convenient. Therefore, using a stand makes gaming on the tablet more comfortable and manageable.

Xiaomi Pad 6 Max with a 10,000 mAh battery for impressive usage duration

Xiaomi Pad 6 Max comes with a high-capacity 10,000 mAh battery and supports fast charging at 67W. The device is equipped with Xiaomi's Surging G1 chip, which monitors the battery's health status, optimizes the charging and discharging processes, extends battery life, and improves long-term usage performance. This helps minimize battery degradation, ensuring the device's longevity.

Additionally, Xiaomi Pad 6 Max supports reverse charging with a power of 33W and is compatible with fast charging protocols like PD 3.0/PPS. This enables quick charging of other devices such as mobile phones and earphones in emergency situations.

In the test, the device took only 10 minutes to charge up to 27%, 30 minutes to reach 60%, and 58 minutes to fully charge. Thanks to the 67W fast charging, Xiaomi Pad 6 Max charges in about half an hour faster than other tablets with similar battery capacity.

Summary

Nowadays, tablets are not just enlarged versions of mobile phones. Manufacturers and app developers are optimizing tablets to enhance user experiences. Xiaomi Pad 6 Max, with its 14-inch screen, is tailored for work, learning, and entertainment. The product is equipped with features like WPS and a 'workbench' mode for efficient work experiences. Currently, the starting price for Xiaomi Pad 6 Max is 3,799 Chinese Yuan (around 12.4 million VND) for the 8GB RAM, 256GB internal storage variant.
