What these size differences mean

Calculated from the dimensions shown, rounded to 0.1 mm and 1 g. Percentages use the smaller measurement as the reference. Fold and rotation settings affect the dimensions compared.

  • Pad M1 is 1.6 mm (0.9% relative to Pad 9) wider. Check this difference against the width of your current device and pocket opening.
  • Pad M1 is 1.5 mm (0.5% relative to Pad 9) taller. This describes the body outline; screen diagonal alone does not tell you the overall size.
  • Pad M1 is 0.6 mm (8.7% relative to Pad 9) thicker. Cases and camera protrusions can change the clearance you need.
  • Pad 9 is 55 g lighter. This is the listed device-weight difference, not a measured comfort rating.

Use these figures to compare physical size. They do not establish one-handed reach, pocket fit, durability or an overall winner.

Sources and measurement notes

Sizometry compares published specifications and calculates differences. These are not hands-on measurements or tests of comfort, performance or pocket fit.

Check the exact model, year, region and configuration on the linked page. References may cover several variants. Folded and unfolded dimensions differ; cases and camera protrusions may change the space a device needs. Drawings share a relative scale and are not calibrated to life size on your screen.

Pad 9 vs Pad M1 Size Comparison

User Experience Summary

Pad 9

Strengths

  • Sleek aluminum chassis feels premium despite the budget price
  • Sharp, bright 12.1-inch 2.5K display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate
  • Genuinely loud eight-speaker system with room-filling, distortion-free sound

Compromises

  • Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 isn't powerful enough for demanding games
  • 35W charging is frustratingly slow for the battery capacity
  • Battery life reports vary from solid to disappointing across reviews

Pad M1

Strengths

  • Class-leading battery and screen size value in POCO's tablet lineup
  • Aluminum build, microSD, and 3.5mm jack feel thoughtfully practical
  • Community pattern confidence from multiple consistent professional reviews

Compromises

  • Slow 33W charging on a massive cell frustrates quick top-up habits
  • Modest chipset and UFS 2.2 limit gaming and install-heavy workflows
  • No official stylus support steers creatives toward Pad X1 instead
