Last week, Xiaomi Pad 5 was launched in India with a 10.95-inch WQHD+ and the Snapdragon 860 SoC. Now, its sub-brand Redmi which is rumored to be working on a tablet as well might debut the device in India soon.
According to noted tipster Mukul Sharma, the upcoming tablet dubbed the Redmi Pad 5G will be made available in India. The tipster does not mention an expected launch timeline, so we will likely have to wait a while for more info on the tablet. Interestingly, the tablet was previously tipped back in April 2020 with the same name.
According to the previous report, Redmi Pad 5G features a Snapdragon 765 chipset and a 90Hz refresh rate panel. The device has 30W fast charging support and a 48-megapixel Sony camera on its rear. The previous report also mentions that the device was expected to debut in China for 1,999 Yuan ($302), however, reports on the tablet went cold afterward.
Currently, it is unclear if the Redmi Pad 5G is the same device rumored back in 2020 or a new tablet altogether. We expect to learn more about it in the coming days.
For now, Xiaomi Pad 5 remains a good deal at a price point below ₹30,000 in India.
