Xiaomi is arguably one of the biggest tech exports from China and even inside its home country, the brand is super popular. That is why the number of fans looking forward to the brand’s upcoming tablet looks unprecedented. It has been a long while since the tech giant refreshed its tablet line. Xiaomi has already confirmed that it has not given up on the tablet market. Also, there are speculations that the brand is working on the Mi Pad 4’s successor and it will be called the Mi Pad 5.

A tipster has now shared the sketch of a stylus pen said to be a Xiaomi-patented product designed for a tablet. This could be for the Mi Pad 5 but that is not yet confirmed. The patent sketch shows the Mi Stylus features a similar design to the Apple Pencil. There actually nothing spectacular as it looks like an ordinary pen but with a pen cap-like structure at the bottom. There are speculations that the device will have a USB Type-C interface that will be used to charge it. Of course, connectivity may likely be via Bluetooth.

The design sketch also shows that it will have a magnetic-like area at the center which can be used to attach the frame to a tablet at any time. This aligns with rumors earlier on that the Pad 5 will come with an aluminum alloy back panel.

It will definitely be an important feature if the Mi Pad 5 will indeed have a Stylus pen but we are not so sure about that. So, don’t get your hopes too high. We don’t expect the features to go beyond the basics like the touch function.

As a reminder, the Mi Pad 5 is rumored to pack a Snapdragon 870 chipset. The table is expected to come with a great dissipation system which should improve the performance to a large extent, especially for gaming. The tablet is also expected to run on a new MIUI for Pad operating system specially designed for tablet products. The user experience is expected to be different from that of the mobile interface.
