With this generation of tablets, the company is doing the same thing as it did the last one, which letting both keep similar screens. This means that both the Xiaomi Pad 6 and Pad 6 Pro share an 11-inch 1800 x 2880 16:10 IPS LCD display with a 144Hz refresh rate. Incidentally, both also appear to share a stereo quad-speaker setup.
