Redmi unveiled the Pad Pro in May 2024 in China. Equipped with the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2, it is the most powerful tablet from Redmi. However, a new Weibo post by a reliable leaker reveals that the brand is working on a gaming-focused tablet.
Redmi gaming tablet in works
DCS released a Weibo post in August to reveal that Redmi is working on a flagship tablet with a compact design and an LCD screen. At that time, he claimed that the device was in the prototyping phase. He also claimed that the device will break cover in 2025.
DCS appears to be discussing the same device in a recent Weibo post. This time, he asserts that the device will prioritize gaming and feature a Snapdragon 8-series chipset.
In terms of performance, the upcoming Redmi gaming tablet may outperform the upcoming Xiaomi Pad 7 series of flagship tablets. The Pad 7 lineup is expected to include two models, such as the Pad 7 and Pad 7 Pro. According to reports, these devices will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipsets, respectively. Both produces are expected to feature 11.16-inch LCD panels.
Nubia has recently launched a gaming tablet dubbed the Red Magic Nova in China. It features a 10.9-inch LCD panel, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Leading Version chipset, and a 10,100mAh battery with 120W fast charging support. It went official with a price tag of 3,999 Yuan (~$565) in China.
The upcoming Redmi gaming tablet could be a similar offering. Hopefully, more details of the device will surface in forthcoming reports. In related news, Redmi is also working on the Redmi K80 series of smartphones, which is likely to include the Redmi K80e, Redmi K80, and Redmi K80 Pro smartphones. These devices may feature the Dimensity 8400 (upcoming), Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, and Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipsets, respectively. The K80 lineup is expected to break cover in November in China.
