Earlier today (9th June 2021), a known Weibo tipster, a Chinese microblogging website, uploaded screenshots that revealed the radio certification of two upcoming products from Xiaomi. This includes an upcoming flagship smartphone and the Mi Pad 5.
Talking about the flagship handset first, @数码闲聊站 shared a screenshot of the radio certification of the device, which will apparently feature UWB as well. For those unaware, UWB stands for ultra wideband transmission technology. This technology was first seen in the iPhone 11 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 for Android. UWB uses short pulses for wireless communication. This enables it to transmit data without interference, with a high transmission rate at a lower power cost and higher accuracy. Notably, the technology also has applications in IoT interaction and for high precision tracking devices like smart tags.
Arriving at the tablet, the Chinese tech giant is apparently gearing up for the launch of the Mi Pad 5. As per the tipster, a device with the model number “M2105K81C” has already received radio certification and will be a part of the latest generation of tablets from Xiaomi. Notably, this tablet will also support 5G networking, so we can expect a 5G enabled chipset from MediaTek and Qualcomm.
Previous reports had revealed that the base model will feature a MediaTek Dimensity 1200 SoC while the Pro variant of the tablet will sport the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 processor. Although, these are just speculation, so take this report with a pinch of salt for now and stay tuned for more, as we will provide updates if any notable developments or reports surface.
