A recent leak claimed that the Redmi Pad would be equipped with a new MediaTek MT87871 chipset. The SoC is similar to the existing Helio G99 chip. Hence, the first Redmi tablet could be a budget-friendly offering from the brand.

Speculations are rife that the Redmi Pad will be equipped with an 11-inch display that will carry support for 2K resolution. Unfortunately, there is no information available on the other specs of the device. Now that the device has passed 3C certification and has been found being tested in Asian and European countries, it seems that it will not take too long for it to go official.
