Xiaomi will announce the Mi Pad 5 series this week alongside the Mi MIX 4 on Tuesday. Ahead of the launch, the manufacturer has shared an image of the tablet’s retail box. A live photo of the keyboard case has also appeared online.
The Mi Pad 5 will come in a large white box that is pretty wide but just a few inches thick. There is a Xiaomi logo at the top right corner of the box while the name of the tablet is written in the center and on the side of the box.
Based on the thickness of the box, we want to believe the Mi Pad 5 may not come with a charger included. That wouldn’t be surprising as Xiaomi’s flagship phones released this year don’t have a power adapter included in the box. However, Xiaomi does provide an option for buyers to get a charger for free. So there is a possibility the same thing will happen with the Mi Pad 5.
The poster shows a second box, but in black, and partly covered by the white one. While we can’t see what is written on the box, a leaked image on Weibo has revealed that is the retail box for the Mi Pad 5 Pro.
The color of the box is not the only difference. As you can see in the photo, the Mi Pad 5 will also have Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. These are high-end features and proof that the Mi Pad 5 Pro will be a flagship tablet.
A leak from last month revealed that the Mi Pad 5 and Mi Pad 5 Pro will also differ with respect to processors and charging technology. The Pro model will have a Snapdragon 870 processor and 67W fast wired charging while the standard version will have a Snapdragon 860 processor and a slower charging speed.
Finally, a live photo of the keyboard (above) case has also been posted on Weibo. Shared on the social media platform by Digital Chat Station, it shows the green colorway of the optional accessory. There is a squircle-shaped cut-out on the back for the tablet’s camera housing and there is a seam that runs across which we believe is for the kickstand built into the case.
The Mi Pad 5 series launches in China on Tuesday, August 11.
