The Xiaomi Pad 8 seems to be getting ready for a wider release, and a new Geekbench listing suggests the global launch may not be far off. The tablet’s international variant has now shown up on the benchmark database.

This isn’t the first sign of movement either. The Pad 8 Pro appeared on Geekbench earlier, and together the two listings make it look like Xiaomi is preparing to bring the full Pad 8 lineup to more markets. So far, the series has only been available in China, where it launched back in September 2025 alongside the Xiaomi 17 series.

The new listing belongs to a device with the model number 25097RP43G, which is believed to be the global version of the standard Pad 8. According to the Geekbench entry, the CPU core configuration is as follows:

• 2 × 2.02GHz
• 2 × 2.8GHz
• 3 × 3.01GHz
• 1 × 3.21GHz

This layout matches the Chinese variant exactly, effectively confirming the presence of the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset. The test unit is listed with 8GB of RAM.

Performance numbers are solid. The tablet scores just over 2,000 points in single-core tests and around 6,100 points in multi-core. That places it comfortably ahead of the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3-powered Xiaomi Pad 7, which recorded 1,877 and 5,106 points in single- and multi-core tests respectively.

In day-to-day use, this should translate to smoother multitasking and better performance in heavier apps, which is where tablets tend to show their limits.

The software version is listed as Android 16, which likely means it will ship with Xiaomi’s newer HyperOS build out of the box.

If the Chinese model is anything to go by, the Pad 8 should feature an 11.2-inch LCD panel with a 144Hz refresh rate, a large 9,200mAh battery, and 45W wired charging.

Tipster Abhishek Yadav has suggested that Xiaomi could launch the Pad 8 series globally in early March 2026, possibly around the time of MWC. That would line up with the recent increase in leaks and certifications.

For now, the Geekbench appearance doesn’t tell us everything, but it does confirm one thing: the Xiaomi Pad 8 is no longer China-only, and its global release is likely getting close.
