After several months of speculations, Xiaomi finally launched the Mi Pad 4, its fourth-gen tablet model. The Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 adopts a design style different from those of its predecessors and on top of that it comes with an LTE version! Here are some pictures of the Mi Pad 4 getting unboxed by the guys at Chinese blog – Sina Technologies.

The Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 sports an 8-inch display just like its predecessors but in this case it adopts a 16:10 screen which ensures the device isn’t as wide as the previous models. Thus, the tablet can easily be held with one hand. The slab also has a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels. The top and bottom bezels seem to have been trimmed and are looking thinner than the predecessors. The device still comes with a centrally-placed selfie shooter while the home button is now designed to be inside the display.

The rear design also adopts a design which is slightly different from the previous models. It is an all-metal design but since there is an LTE version it became imperative that space be created for the antenna band and that was done at the top edge. The speaker grills at the back of the earlier Mi Pad models are also missing at the back. Instead, the device packs a design with the speaker grills located on either side of the USB Type-C port at the bottom. There is a single rear camera located at the top left corner. The design also includes the Mi logo at the back.

The major upgrade on the Mi Pad 4 is on the internals. The device is powered by the efficient Snapdragon 660 premium mid-range chipset paired with 3GB/4GB of RAM while there are 32GB/64GB storage versions. Xiaomi may release a 2GB RAM + 16GB model later on. The device will get its juice from a 6000mAh battery which is reputed to provide continuous music playback for up to 16 hours and streaming of up to 15 episodes of TV series.

Ever since Xiaomi made the announcement that the Mi Pad 4 will be launched on June 25, the airwaves have been buzzing with several details of the fourth-generation Mi tablet. The Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 real design may have been spotted in a couple of leaked images which GSMArena describes as advertising images.

The images unmask the Mi Pad 4 front and rear design and there seems to be a change in the design. Noticeably, the front bezels look like what has been trimmed when compared to those of the Mi Pad, Pad 2 and Pad 3. The bezels obviously look thinner on the top and bottom side and the company seems to have removed the front Mi branding. While at the back, the Mi logo is still at the bottom part. Xiaomi still retains the camera position but the sensor looks bigger than those of the Pad 2 and 3. We can also see the 3.5mm audio jack at the upper edge.

The post Leaked Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Advertising Images Reveal Its Design with Thin Bezels appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 has been in the works for quite some time now but there has been no concrete detail on its launch date from Xiaomi. The company announced the Mi Pad 3 in April last year but now we are in June and all what we know is a couple of likely details and certifications but no launch modalities have been revealed. Well. that may soon change if Xiaomi’s latest Weibo post on the Mi Pad Weibo handle is anything to go by.

The Xiaomi Pad Weibo handle has been relatively inactive for a while. The last post before this one was posted in January last year and since then there has been nothing until now. The short Weibo post just hints at a good news coming at 10 am tomorrow. We don’t know what exactly the news is but it could possibly be the Mi Pad 4 unveiling or the announcement of a launch date for the 4th-gen Mi Pad.

The tablet market has not enjoyed a successful run, mainly due to the proliferation of phablet-sized phones. But the Mi Pad is one product that was well received, especially last year’s Mi Pad 3. The Mi Pad 4 is expected to retain the 7.9-inch LCD display found on its predecessors. A leaked firmware file, however, suggest the tablet may come with an 18:9 aspect ratio but that isn’t certain. The device is expected to feature a 13-megapixel rear-mounted camera and a frontal shooter of 5-megapixel. There is also the rumour of a Snapdragon 660 chipset onboard. We won’t have to wait for too long to get the full details of this product but we expect something with some upgrade over the Mi Pad 3.
