Official Launch Timeline for American Market
Xiaomi has officially confirmed that the Pad Mini will be released in the United States on October 15, 2025. The company announced that pre-orders will open on October 1, 2025, giving U.S. buyers the chance to secure the compact tablet before it becomes widely available. This confirmation ends speculation about when the device would reach American shelves after earlier international launches.
The Pad Mini is designed as a high-performance compact tablet, featuring an 8.8-inch 3K display with a 165Hz refresh rate. Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ chipset, it offers up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. These specifications ensure smooth performance for gaming, productivity, and streaming, putting it in direct competition with established players in the small-tablet segment.
In the United States, the base model will be priced at $429, with higher configurations available at additional cost. Xiaomi has confirmed that U.S. models will run HyperOS with built-in AI features and optimized software for American users. The devices will also receive regular software and security updates tailored to local requirements.
Battery performance is another highlight. With a 7,500mAh dual-cell battery, 67W fast charging, and 18W reverse charging, the Pad Mini is built to last through long sessions of use. These features, combined with its lightweight and portable design, make it a strong option for buyers who want power without sacrificing convenience.
Xiaomi has also noted that customer support in the United States will expand alongside the launch. Service centers and authorized repair options will be available in major regions, offering peace of mind to early adopters. This move reflects the company’s commitment to building trust with U.S. customers as it grows its presence in the market.
The confirmed release date of October 15 positions the Xiaomi Pad Mini perfectly for the holiday shopping season. With pre-orders starting October 1, buyers now have a clear timeline to plan their purchase. For those seeking a compact yet powerful Android tablet, the Pad Mini’s arrival in the U.S. offers a new and competitive choice.
