Last month, Xiaomi officially took the wraps off its second generation Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 tablet. There were two storage options available, 16GB and 64GB. Until today, the 64GB version of the Mi Pad 2 wasn’t available for sale. But at 10 am today, Xiaomi officially made the tablet available for sale. So, after nearly a month of waiting, fans could finally get their hands on the new tablet.

However, to everyone’s dismay, the Mi Pad 2 tablet was soon out of stock. By soon, we mean within a minute! Yes, all those users who were hoping to get hold of this larger storage variant were disappointed to see that both, the 16GB and the 64GB variants were instantly out of stock. It was either due to the immense demand for these products or due to the lack of enough stock available. Whatever the reason, not many fans were able to purchase the Mi Pad 2. Some even took to the company’s official Mi tablet account on Weibo to express their disappointment.

As for the specs, the Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 comes with the Intel Atom X5-Z8500 processor with Sharp’s 7.9-inch 2048 x 1536 resolution display, 2GB RAM, 8MP rear/ 5MP front cameras, USB Type-C and 6190mAh battery with support for 5V/ 2A fast charging.

The 16GB version of the tablet retails for 999 Yuan ($153) while the 64GB version retails for 1299 Yuan ($200).

Yesterday, Xiaomi’s President Lin Bin revealed a new teaser which kind of confirmed that the rumored Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 will meet us at next week’s event. The teaser image, just revealed a portion of the device. Now, a new render has cropped up on the Chinese social networking website Weibo, revealing the new Mi Pad 2 in all its glory.

From yesterday’s image we knew that the upcoming Xiaomi tablet was going to feature a new design, slimmer and rounder than before. Today’s image confirms this, showing off the tablet in silver shade. There’s very little change up front. But at the back we can see an aluminum unibody shell with slimmer design and rounder corners, kind of like the iPad lineup.

The tablet is said to come in two different variants, the low version priced at 1499 Yuan ($235) and the high version at 1799 Yuan ($282). Unfortunately, as of now, we don’t know the exact difference between these two variants.

The Mi Pad 2 was recently spotted on Geekbench, revealing an Intel chipset clocked at 2.2GHz with 2GB of RAM. Considering these mid-range specs, this could be the low-end version costing $235. Anyways, we are sure the company will release more features and information about the upcoming tablet in the coming days, so stay tuned to gizmochina for more updates.

In 2015, Xiaomi has been pretty busy throughout the year, releasing new models and updating existing ones. Just a couple of weeks after the company announced the Xiaomi Mi4C model, it’s all set to announce another product, on October 19. While the teaser does not reveal what to expect from the launch, given its timing, it’s quite likely that we will see the Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 pretty soon.

Notable Analyst from China, Pan Juitang has repeatedly said that Xiaomi will announce its new Mi Pad 2 tablet sometime by the third quarter of 2015. While this time frame has already passed, it looks like the company could announce the tablet on October 19. The tablet was recently spotted on the Chinese 3C Quality Certification Center, which also meant that the launch was near.

Specs wise, we have very little information about the new Mi Pad 2. However, Jiutang adds that the tablet should come with support for Windows 10. We have heard of Windows running on Xiaomi devices like the Mi 4, so this is a possibility. But we better wait for an official confirmation from the company.

Xiaomi usually reveals a number of features of its upcoming device before its launch, so if we are to see the Mi Pad 2 launch on Oct 19, expect more details in the coming days.

So, what do you think will be announced at this event? Any other ideas?

We haven’t heard much about the new Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 tablet for a while. The latest we heard was from the analyst Pan Jiutang who said that the Xiaomi tablet should debut sometime in the third quarter of 2015 with Windows 10 on board. However, even when the third quarter is nearly coming to an end, we haven’t received any details its launch. But, earlier today, we spotted the Xiaomi Mi tablet 2 on the Chinese 3C Quality Certification Center, which could mean that the tablet is ready for launch.

Yes, Xiaomi’s latest tablet has just hit the Chinese 3C certification center. The Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 tablet comes with the model number 2015716 classified under the category Tablet PC. While the listing doesn’t reveal much of the specifications of the device, it confirms that the new Mi 2 tablet is on the way. Its been more than a year since Xiaomi announced its first generation Mi tablet and the company had earlier assured that it will continue its tablet lineup, so a new launch is imminent. This further proves that the device is under development and we may see the launch soon.

IHS Analyst Pan Jiutang had also added that the new Xiaomi tablet will come with Windows 10. if this really is the case with the Mi Pad 2, it won’t be surprising given that it is said the company is experimenting with Windows 10 even on its flagship smartphones like Mi4. 

The nearest Xiaomi product launch is on September 22, where it will unveil the flagship Xiaomi Mi4C (FYI, its going to be the first Xiaomi smartphone with USB Type-C). This might be a good opportunity for the company to release new tablet too. And it will fall in line with Jiutang’s prediction of a Q3 launch. However, if you have been following Xiaomi for the past couple of years, the company has almost everytime teased its upcoming product in plenty before launch. Since we haven’t heard anything officially about the Mi Pad 2 till now, it looks like there’s still some time for the unveiling of the device.
