Last week, Xiaomi Pad 5 was launched in India with a 10.95-inch WQHD+ and the Snapdragon 860 SoC. Now, its sub-brand Redmi which is rumored to be working on a tablet as well might debut the device in India soon.

According to noted tipster Mukul Sharma, the upcoming tablet dubbed the Redmi Pad 5G will be made available in India. The tipster does not mention an expected launch timeline,  so we will likely have to wait a while for more info on the tablet. Interestingly, the tablet was previously tipped back in April 2020 with the same name.

According to the previous report, Redmi Pad 5G features a Snapdragon 765 chipset and a 90Hz refresh rate panel. The device has 30W fast charging support and a 48-megapixel Sony camera on its rear. The previous report also mentions that the device was expected to debut in China for 1,999 Yuan ($302), however, reports on the tablet went cold afterward.

Currently, it is unclear if the Redmi Pad 5G is the same device rumored back in 2020 or a new tablet altogether. We expect to learn more about it in the coming days.

For now, Xiaomi Pad 5 remains a good deal at a price point below ₹30,000 in India. The tablet has a 10.95-inch 2560 x 1600 pixels LCD display with 120Hz refresh rate, 275 PPI pixel density, and 650 nits peak brightness. The screen offers Smart Pen stylus support and incorporates DCI-P3 color gamut and Dolby Vision HDR standard.

Powering the tablet is a Snapdragon 860 chipset with 6GB of LPDDR4x RAM and up to 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. The device has a large 8,720mAh battery capable of 33W fast charging and operates in Android 11-based MIUI 13.

For optics, it has a 13MP rear camera and an 8MP front-facing camera. Audio is taken care of by a set of quad speakers with support for Dolby Atmos, Hi-Res Audio, and Hi-Res Audio Wireless. The device, however, omits the 3.5mm headphone jack, MicroSD card slot, and fingerprint sensor.

The Xiaomi Pad 5 has a starting price of ₹26,999 ($352) in India, but it can be bought for ₹24,999 till May 7th.
