Two days ago, we reported that Xiaomi would be holding a new product launch event on August 10th. The company had previously announced that it would unveil the Xiaomi Mi MIX 4 at this event, but today, more details have been officially revealed.
This morning, Xiaomi officially announced that the Mi Pad 5 will be launched at the same event. After three years, the company has finally decided to upgrade its tablet series. It is worth mentioning that the Mi Pad 4 was launched in June 2018.
In the official post, we can see that the sides of the Mi Pad 5 are at the right angle and are also made of aluminum alloy, which seems like the Apple iPad. In addition, the Mi Pad 5 will also support the Mi Pencil. In the poster, the officials also mentioned the slogan “Dream of life, this time, write by myself.”
According to previous reports, the Mi Pad 5 is expected to be available in two variants. The Mi Pad 5 uses a Snapdragon 860 chipset, while the Mi Pad 5 Pro uses a Snapdragon 870 chipset. The Mi Pad 5 will most probably lack 5G connectivity.
It was also revealed that the Pad 5 supports only 33W fast charging, while the Pad 5 Pro with Snapdragon 870 uses 67W super-fast charging. Furthermore, the Mi Pad 5 Pro uses a 2K (2560x1600p) IPS display with a 120Hz refresh rate, while it is unknown for the Pad 5.
The Mi Pad 5 Pro display will also support a 240Hz touch sampling rate, with 4096-level touch support and In-Cell active pen technology.
We have to wait for complete specifications until the officials reveal more information.
