Xiaomi has likely wrapped up its major smartphone releases for the year. So we can now expect the company to focus on its next-gen tablet. Namely, the Xiaomi Pad 7 series. 

The lineup is expected to include two models, Pad 7 and Pad 7 Pro, both of which we’ve been sharing leaks about time and again. Now a new leak by Smart Pikachu has revealed the tentative launch timeframe of these tablets.

According to the tipster, Xiaomi will launch the Pad 7 series in the third quarter of this year. It’s a considerable delay compared to the launch timing of its predecessors, the Pad 6 and Pad 6 Pro, which debuted in April last year.

Nonetheless, the tipster further suggests that the tablets will be suitable for “car use” in a Plug and Play manner. That is to be expected from Xiaomi who is also an EV maker now. Ensuring compatibility across its product ecosystem is what a company will want in the first place.

Xiaomi Pad 7 Series Specifications

Although details about the Pad 7 series are still scarce, tipster Digital Chat Station has revealed some of the key specifications of the Pad 7 Pro. 

It’s expected to be equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, a 12.45-inch display with a 144Hz refresh rate and a tall 16:10 aspect ratio, and keeping everything powered will be a 10,000mAh battery pack. The Pad 7 Pro’s 3C certification also revealed support for 120W fast charging. 

The tablet is also said to have a dual 50MP camera setup on the back and quad speakers for audio.

In contrast, there’s very little we know about the vanilla Pad 7, except for a leak that suggests it might feature a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor.
