Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro: 256 GB for 350 euros in AliExpress Back to School sale

AliExpress’s Back to School campaign is now under way. The deals are particularly tempting, including a major saving on Xiaomi’s latest premium tablet, the Pad 8 Pro.

Until the evening of Wednesday 26 August, while stocks last, the 256 GB Pad 8 Pro is available for an exceptional 383 euros rather than 651 euros when you use the code DSFR50 or PCFR50.

Paying via PayPal gives you an additional 33-euro discount, bringing the price down to 350 euros. However, this extra reduction is limited in quantity and could disappear at any time, so it is best not to wait too long.

Your Pad 8 Pro is shipped quickly and free of charge from Spain, with VAT included. If you decide it is not for you, you have 15 days to return it for an immediate refund. The tablet is certified as genuine through the Marque+ label and comes with its official two-year warranty.

The Back to School campaign runs from 17 to 26 August, although there is no assurance that stock will last until the final day. AliExpress may sell through its available allocation before the promotion ends, so it is worth taking advantage while units remain.

Why choose the Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro?

The Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro is Xiaomi’s newest high-end tablet. It is comfortable to hold, helped by its slim 5.75 mm profile and 485 g weight. Its metal unibody chassis also delivers exemplary build quality worthy of the most premium models. For performance, Xiaomi has selected Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite, paired with 8 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256 GB of storage in the AliExpress promotional version.

As a result, it can run every app and game on the Play Store, while handling multitasking smoothly without any hint of slowdown. On the display side, it features an 11.2-inch IPS LCD screen with a 3,200 x 2,136-pixel resolution, a 144 Hz refresh rate and peak brightness of 800 nits.

The experience remains smooth and clearly legible in all situations. HDR10 and Dolby Vision support also provide excellent image quality, particularly for compatible films, series and games. In addition, TÜV Rheinland certification reduces blue-light exposure, helping to ensure optimum visual comfort during extended sessions.

For audio, Xiaomi has fitted four speakers compatible with Dolby Atmos and Hi-Res Audio. Its 9,200 mAh battery can provide up to 18 hours of video playback. With 67W fast charging, it recovers around 50% charge in roughly 30 minutes. For photography, the tablet includes a 50 MP rear sensor and a 32 MP front camera, with video recording available at up to 4K and 60 frames per second.

That is sufficient for everyday use, although a smartphone remains better suited to photography. The Pad 8 Pro runs HyperOS 3, based on Android 16, and includes several AI features. Connectivity is also well covered, with Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0. Xiaomi additionally offers the Focus Keyboard and Focus Pen Pro, allowing the tablet to become a genuine work or creative tool (sold separately).
