Xiaomi has been rumored to be working on a new tablet for a while now. This is the Mi Pad 5, which was expected to also be announced during its online conferences earlier this week, but that was not the case.

Since the device was not revealed, finer details regarding its specifications and features are still unknown. But, a recent online post from known Weibo tipster, a Chinese microblogging website), @数码闲聊站 has leaked some of its supposed features. As per the social media post, the new tablet will feature display functions that are similar to the folding screen that is found in the Mi Mix Fold. In other words, we can expect support for handheld PC mode, parallel windows, dual screen drag and drop and more.

The Weibo blogger also added that the PPI of the display would not be very high, which will also support high refresh rate. Under the hood, the Mi Pad 5 will feature Snapdragon 800 series processor as well. Unfortunately, it is unknown which processor the device would ship with, but it could be a Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 processor.

Although, going by previous reports, the tablet will feature an 11 inch display, with 2K resolution and 144Hz refresh rate and up to 480Hz touch sampling rate on the LCD display. Keep in mind, this is still an unconfirmed report so take it with a pinch of salt and stay tuned for more, as we will be providing updates when additional information is available regarding the device.

Xiaomi’s last tablets (Mi Pad 4, Mi Pad 4 Plus) were released in 2018. It was thought that the company has exited this device category. However, that does not appear to be the case. The so-called Mi Pad 5 has been rumored for the past few weeks. Today, a reliable Chinese leakster has also confirmed the existence of this tablet.

According to the popular Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station, the upcoming Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 will flaunt an 11-inch display with a high refresh rate. For comparison, the 2018 Mi Pad 4 and Mi Pad 4 Plus had an 8-inch screen and a 10.1-inch display respectively with the standard 60Hz refresh rate.

In other words, the Mi Pad 5 will have a similar-sized display as the iPad Air 4th Gen (10.9-inch) and iPad Pro 11-inch. Further, according to him, the upcoming Xiaomi tablet will also have support for Xiaomi Device Control, a feature identical to HUAWEI Multi-screen Collaboration.

Anyway, the leaker is not sure if the Mi Pad 5 will be announced at the company’s March 29 event at which it is expected to unveil Mi 11 Lite 5G, Mi 11 Pro, and Mi 11 Ultra.

That said, in late February, alleged specs and renders of the Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 leaked. But they could be mostly fake.
