Redmi is reportedly working on its first tablet. While the official name of the device is yet to be confirmed, it is tentatively called the Redmi Pad by the rumor mill. According to a report by Miuipolska, the Redmi Pad will be equipped with a new MediaTek chipset with the MT8781 model number. Unfortunately, there is no information on the marketing name of the SoC.

According to the report, the new chipset that will power the Redmi Pad will be based on TSMC’s 6nm manufacturing process.It will be similar to the Helio G99, which powers the likes of the Infinix Note 12 Pro and Vivo V25e. The G99 will also be seen on the upcoming POCO M5.

The new MediaTek SoC will comprise 2 x Cortex-A76 CPU cores working at 2.2GHz, 6 x Cortex-A55 CPU cores ticking at 2GHz, and Mali-G57 MC2. These specs are also available on the Helio G99. The new chip will include support for LPDDR4x RAM and eMMC 5.1 and UFS 2.2 storage, claims the report.

The MT8781 chip will support a 108-megapixel maximum resolution camera and a 32-megapixel (or a pair of 16-megapixel) front camera. It will offer 2K video encoding / decoding at 30fps and support the H.264, H.265, and VP9 codecs. The display of the device featuring the MT8781 chip will support a maximum resolution of 1200 x 2000 pixels and a 90Hz refresh rate. It will also offer other features like Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 5.2, and LTE. However, it will lack 5G connectivity.

Coming to the Redmi Pad, it is unlikely to connect to any mobile network as there is no IMEI number mentioned in its FCC documents. Unfortunately, the key specification of the tablet is yet to be confirmed. It appears that it will not take too long for the Redmi Pad to go official as its serial production has started in Asia and European countries.
