Ranked by what users actually praise

Overall Impression

Pricing and regional deals make the 7S Pro appealing to new buyers. A buyer in China found the 12GB/512GB model priced attractively, and a local government incentive dropped the cost further to around $472, making it feel like a very good deal compared to the larger, similarly performing 7 Ultra. Another commenter who upgraded from the older Pad Pro 5 called the 7S Pro a 'top top tablet,' suggesting satisfaction after purchase, at least for those coming from significantly older hardware.

Not everyone sees a compelling reason to upgrade from the previous Pad. One commenter argued that the processor is the only meaningfully improved component versus the Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro 12.4, and explicitly advised against switching if you already own that model. This suggests the 7S Pro's core experience—display, design, and general usage—may feel very similar to its predecessor, limiting its appeal mainly to first-time buyers or those coming from much older devices.

Some hardware omissions and size concerns bother certain users. Multiple commenters flagged missing features: no 5G SIM card support and no 3.5mm headphone jack. Others felt the 12.5-inch screen size is too large, suggesting an 8.8-9 inch tablet would suit them better. Gaming performance also drew complaints, with PUBG reportedly capped at 60fps for at least two commenters, and one person struggled to find a matte screen protector for the device.
