Rumors are rife that Xiaomi is working on its first-ever Redmi tablet. The official name of the device is not known yet. The device is being called the Redmi Pad 5G because the name appeared in an MIUI 13 survey in China in May this year. The Redmi tablet was reportedly certified by the 3C authority in China earlier this month. A live shot (via) of the alleged device has surfaced on Weibo.

The Redmi Pad 5G does not reveal much about the device. It seems equipped with a metallic chassis with a single camera on its back. It seems that it could be the mysterious Redmi tablet with the 22081281AC model number, which was certified by the 3C and CMIIT authorities in June this year.

The CMIIT certification confirmed support for 5G and Wi-Fi 802.11ac connectivity, whereas the 3C listing revealed that it may ship with a 67W charger. It’s still unclear if the 22081281AC device will be called the Redmi Pad 5G when it comes out.

According to Xiaomiui, the Redmi Pad 5G could be powered by a less powerful MediaTek chip. There is a possibility that there could be a Pro variant in the future, which may feature a powerful chipset. The publication also said that the Redmi Pad 5G would come with the MIUI Lite software, which is made for low-end devices.

Reports have revealed that the company is working on as many as four tablets for the Chinese market. The 22081281AC (shortened model number: L81A) is expected to debut as the Redmi Pad 5G. The shortened model numbers of the other three devices are L81, L82, and L83. These model numbers belong to the upcoming Xiaomi Pad series, which may include three devices: the Xiaomi Pad 6, the Xiaomi Pad 6 Pro, and the Xiaomi Pad 6 Pro 5G. A recent report revealed that the Redmi Pad 5G may debut soon in India.
