Xiaomi Pad 8 Price Hiked in India: Here’s How Much It Costs Now

Xiaomi has silently raised the price of the Xiaomi Pad 8 in India. The tablet, which was launched in March this year, appears to have received a Rs. 2,000 price hike across all RAM and storage variants. The Xiaomi Pad 8 runs on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 SoC and has a 11.2-inch 3.2K resolution display with a 144Hz refresh rate. It is available in two RAM and storage options in the country and carries a 9,200mAh battery with 45W fast charging support. The Xiaomi Pad 8 has a 13-megapixel rear camera.

Xiaomi Pad 8 Revised Price in India

As a result of the latest revision, the Xiaomi Pad 8 is now available at Rs. 35,999 for the sole 8GB RAM + 128GB storage model, marking a Rs. 2,000 increase from its launch price of Rs. 33,999. The top-end 12GB + 256GB model is now priced at Rs. 38,999, compared to the launch price of Rs. 36,999. This variant bundled with Xiaomi Focus Pen Pro now costs Rs. 43,999, instead of Rs. 41,999

Similarly, the Nano Texture display variant of the Xiaomi Pad 8 with 12GB RAM + 256GB storage costs Rs. 40,999, up from the launch price of Rs. 38,999. The same model bundled with the Xiaomi Focus Pen Pro now costs Rs. 45,999, up from Rs. 43,999.

The revised pricing is now reflected on the Xiaomi India website. Rising component costs and global shortages of chips are likely to be the reasons for the price change. Last month, companies like OnePlus, Poco, and Lava increased the prices of their mid-range smartphones in India.
