Xiaomi might soon expand its tablet lineup with two new models. The upcoming devices were recently spotted on China’s 3C certification database, and based on a Chinese tipster, they are a part of the Xiaomi Pad 8 series.
The new devices carry the model numbers 25091RP04C and 25097RP43C, and both have cleared China’s 3C regulatory process, which means they’re now approved for sale in the country.
While Xiaomi hasn’t made anything official yet, the certifications offer a few early clues, especially around charging speeds.
According to the database, model 25091RP04C supports 67W fast charging, the same power rating seen on the Pad 7 Pro. Meanwhile, model 25097RP43C is listed with 45W charging, which matches the standard Xiaomi Pad 7. That could mean Xiaomi is preparing to launch both standard and Pro versions again, just like last year.
There’s also speculation that these devices might debut around late September, possibly alongside the upcoming flagship smartphone, the Xiaomi 16. The timing lines up with the typical fall refresh window the company uses for its higher-end mobile devices.
What the predecessor offers
Last year’s Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro, for reference, features an 11.2-inch 3.2K LCD display with a 144Hz refresh rate, Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset, and quad speakers.
The standard Pad 7 came with the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 and similar design touches but slightly trimmed-down features. Both tablets were launched with Xiaomi’s HyperOS and included extras like optional matte anti-glare displays, keyboard accessories, and fast charging.
There’s a good chance that Xiaomi will maintain the same industrial design, which features a slim metal chassis and quad-speaker audio tuned for streaming and casual gaming.
Now that the 3C listing is public for the Pad 8 series, it likely won’t be long before more official information surfaces. We will keep you updated on that.
