Hey everyone, welcome to Tech After Dark! I'm Rocco, Nova's here too, and Notebookcheck just dropped its review verdict on Xiaomi's brand-new Pad 9 tablet. And it gets a lot right, Rocco. Bright 144 hertz screen, so it redraws 144 times a second, no P W M flicker to bug your eyes, and a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 inside. Ooh. Okay, but is it actually better than last year's Pad 8? Barely. Notebookcheck calls it more of a Pad 8S, and even with a bigger 9,720 milliamp hour battery, battery life didn't get any better.

Oh, and prices start at 525 dollars. Okay, okay, that's fair. Notebookcheck's full review is linked below. See you next time!
