A highlight is the 8.8-inch 3K display with a 165Hz refresh rate and HDR10+. Other notable features include HyperOS 2 with various AI features and a 326 gram weight.

Redmi Pad 2 Pro

Alongside the Xiaomi Pad Mini, the company is also expected to unveil a new Redmi Pad 2 Pro model globally as well. This is a typical tablet with a taller 12.1-inch display with a 2.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The tablet was initially expected to drop alongside the Redmi K90 series, however, the Redmi Pad 2 Pro might get an overseas release later this month. Finer details are still at large, but a recent 3C certification sighting confirms 45W wired fast charging.

Xiaomi Watch S4 41mm

The Xiaomi Watch S4 is one of the confirmed upcoming launches. This is the 41mm variant of the smartwatch, which will debut with a 1.32-inch AMOLED display and a body that weighs just 32 grams. It features heart rate, SpO2, sleep monitoring, and several workout modes. On a single full charge, it can last for up to 8 days with light use. Xiaomi was rumored to launch the Watch S4 along with the Xiaomi 15T series in the global market.

Xiaomi OpenWear Stereo Pro

One of the more unique products is the Xiaomi OpenWear Stereo Pro. These are a pair of TWS earbuds with an open ear design, which features a custom 1813 super-large dynamic woofer for bass, a dual dynamic iron tweeter module, and a piezoelectric ceramic driver for higher frequencies. You get 8.5 hours of audio playback, a three point ergonomic fit system, and an IP54 rating.

The post Every Xiaomi Device Launching on September 24: Xiaomi Pad Mini, Redmi Pad 2 Pro, Xiaomi Watch S4, & More appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi looks set to expand its tablet lineup with a new compact model for international markets. According to recent reports, the company plans to rebrand the Redmi K Pad, which launched in China earlier this year, as the Xiaomi Pad Mini for global release.

While Xiaomi hasn’t confirmed a date, leaks suggest the tablet could arrive later this month, possibly sharing the stage with the upcoming Xiaomi 15T series on September 24.

The Pad Mini is expected to keep the same hardware as the Redmi K Pad. That means an 8.8-inch LCD display with 2.5K resolution and a smooth 165Hz refresh rate, MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400+ chipset, and a 7,500mAh battery with support for 67W fast charging. Its all-metal body, 13MP rear camera, and 8MP front camera point to a well-rounded device that balances portability and performance. On the software side, it should run HyperOS 2 based on Android 15.

Competition in the compact tablet market is heating up. The Xiaomi Pad Mini will likely go up against the likes of Apple’s iPad Mini and RedMagic’s Astra tablet, though Xiaomi could have an edge on pricing. It may lack extras like a SIM slot or OLED display, but its combination of high-end internals and a lower price point could make it appealing to students, gamers, and anyone looking for a powerful yet portable tablet.

If the launch timeline holds, we won’t have to wait long to see how Xiaomi positions the Pad Mini in the global market.
