Xiaomi looks set to expand its tablet lineup with a new compact model for international markets. According to recent reports, the company plans to rebrand the Redmi K Pad, which launched in China earlier this year, as the Xiaomi Pad Mini for global release.
While Xiaomi hasn’t confirmed a date, leaks suggest the tablet could arrive later this month, possibly sharing the stage with the upcoming Xiaomi 15T series on September 24.
The Pad Mini is expected to keep the same hardware as the Redmi K Pad. That means an 8.8-inch LCD display with 2.5K resolution and a smooth 165Hz refresh rate, MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400+ chipset, and a 7,500mAh battery with support for 67W fast charging. Its all-metal body, 13MP rear camera, and 8MP front camera point to a well-rounded device that balances portability and performance. On the software side, it should run HyperOS 2 based on Android 15.
Competition in the compact tablet market is heating up. The Xiaomi Pad Mini will likely go up against the likes of Apple’s iPad Mini and RedMagic’s Astra tablet, though Xiaomi could have an edge on pricing. It may lack extras like a SIM slot or OLED display, but its combination of high-end internals and a lower price point could make it appealing to students, gamers, and anyone looking for a powerful yet portable tablet.
If the launch timeline holds, we won’t have to wait long to see how Xiaomi positions the Pad Mini in the global market.
