The Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra and Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro offer a similar set of connectivity and feature options. Both tablets support the same Wi-Fi versions: Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n), Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), and Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be). They also both lack Mail Privacy Protection and offer on-device machine learning, clipboard warnings, location privacy options, and camera/microphone privacy options. Additionally, both devices can block app tracking, support split screen, have Live Text, and allow full-page screenshots. Neither tablet includes Quick Start functionality.
When it comes to customization, both devices support theme customization, dynamic theming, dark mode, and customizable notifications. However, the Pad 7 Ultra allows the sharing of Wi-Fi passwords, which the Pad 8 Pro does not. Both tablets support PiP (Picture-in-Picture), can play games while they download, and feature an extra dim mode. They also share the ability to offload apps, have media pickers, and offer a child lock feature.
The two devices differ slightly in NFC and fingerprint scanning capabilities. The Pad 7 Ultra includes NFC and a fingerprint scanner, while the Pad 8 Pro lacks both of these features. In terms of hardware sensors, both tablets have a gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, and support voice commands, but only the Pad 7 Ultra features a fingerprint scanner. Both devices have USB Type-C, Bluetooth 5.4, and the same USB version (3.2). Neither device supports Ethernet, has a barometer, infrared sensor, or iris scanner, nor do they include a built-in projector. Both tablets also track the current position of a mobile device and support widgets, offline voice recognition, and free and open-source software.
