For imaging, the Pad 8 features a 13MP rear and 8MP front camera, whereas the Pad 8 Pro boasts a 50MP rear and 32MP front camera. Both support AI-powered functions such as real-time transcription, voiceprint extraction, and 29-language live interpretation. Audio is handled by quad speakers with Dolby Atmos, and the Pad 8 Pro further enhances sound with Harman AudioEFX tuning.

HyperOS 3 brings a dynamic and adaptive UI with split-screen multitasking, a 9-grid workstation layout, AI wallpapers, and PC-level productivity apps such as WPS and CAD viewers. The tablets also support secondary screen projection, Apple cross-platform file transfer, and Super Xiao Ai assistant for AI-driven tasks.
