Xiaomi last updated its tablet lineup in 2018 and so was thought to have abandoned the segment entirely. But in recent times, the company had hinted that it will update its tablet lineup this year. Perhaps spurred by the surge in the use of tablets for e-learning and other purposes as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the company is going all out to use a flagship configuration for the tablet lineup. 
The Mi Pad 5 has now been certified by China’s 3C, with the listing giving us a glimpse of what to expect on the slate. The listing shows the device will be equipped with a dual-cell battery with a cumulative power of 8520mah. In effect, each of the cells has a capacity of 4260mAh.
Unfortunately, Xiaomi is yet to officially reveal any detail concerning the flagship tablet but the device has kept the rumor mill buzzing. It is rumored to come in two models- the Mi Pad 5 and Pad 5 Pro. The models will be powered by MediaTek Dimensity 1200 and Snapdragon 870 chips, respectively. The Pro version will focus on the high-end tablet market currently occupied by the likes of iPad Pro and Huawei Mate Pad Pro.
The Mi Pad 5 Pro is also expected to be equipped with a 2K resolution LCD screen, which supports a 120Hz refresh rate, a 240Hz touch sampling rate, and also supports 4096-level touch. The Pro version will bring support for the stylus pen.
Further, Xiaomi had earlier disclosed that it will develop an MIUI for Tablet version specifically for tablets. The interface will feature a handheld PC mode and will have a PC-centric interface including the classic start menu and control center.
