Xiaomi sub-brand Poco is gearing up for a major launch event on May 23rd. While they’ve already confirmed the release of the Poco F6 and Poco F6 Pro smartphones, they’ve also dropped a teaser for their first tablet, the Poco Pad, on their official website.

Surprisingly though, the company hasn’t said much about it on its social media handles. But we now have official confirmation that Poco is indeed entering the tablet market with the Poco Pad. It’s set to launch alongside the F6 phones on May 23rd.

Details about the Poco Pad remain scarce at the moment. But previous rumors suggest that it will be a rebranded version of the recently announced Redmi Pad Pro.

That means users can expect a 12.1-inch IPS display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Powering the device is likely to be the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset.

Camera specifications are also expected to mirror the Redmi Pad Pro, with an 8MP sensor on the back and another 8MP sensor on the front for selfies and video calls.

The Poco Pad might also support a stylus and a keyboard case, as hinted in a report last month.

Redmi Pad Pro

Audio is likely to be handled by a quad-speaker setup with Dolby Atmos for an immersive experience. Keeping the lights on will be a large 10,000mAh battery with support for 33W fast charging.

In related news, the Redmi Pad Pro has appeared in the Google Play Console, which indicates its global release is close at hand. Another report claims that the Redmi Pad Pro’s 5G version, bearing the 24074RPD2G (global) / 24074RPD2I (Indian) / 24074RPD2C (China) and “ruan” codename, is also in the works.

Xiaomi’s sub-brand POCO is reportedly making its debut in the tablet market with its first device. The device recently appeared on the European EEC certification platform under the product name “Tablet brand POCO model,” clearly indicating that it’s a tablet.

Additionally, it seems that POCO is also working on accessories for the tablet. A stylus under the POCO brand surfaced on the FCC database earlier this month with the model number 2407CMPBCG.

Now, the same stylus model number has appeared alongside a keyboard bearing the model number 24071KB3FG on the IMDA listing. So the tablet may come with these accessories available as optional purchases.

However, the listing doesn’t provide any further details about the POCO tablet or its accompanying accessories. Previous reports suggest that the POCO tablet, allegedly called POCO Pad, could be a rebranded version of the Redmi Pad Pro.

According to these reports, the tablet is expected to feature a 12.1-inch IPS LCD screen with a 2.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It will be powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 processor paired with up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of storage. Additionally, it will house a 10,000mAh battery with 33W fast charging support.

For the camera setup, it may include an 8-megapixel front camera and an 8-megapixel rear camera. Other expected features include the Android 14 OS, a 3.5mm audio jack, and quad speakers.

While the exact launch date and pricing details are still unknown, the fact that the device and its accessories have been through multiple certifications indicates that we can expect its launch in the next couple of months.
