Redmi Pad 5G with Snapdragon 765G and 90Hz display tipped to launch in China on April 27th

Xiaomi is known best for its smartphones in India, but some might remember that the company also launched a tablet in the country back in 2015 – the Mi Pad. Unfortunately, the brand didn’t launch the succeeding generations of the Mi Pad in India, and the last tablet in the series, the Mi Pad 4, was announced in China in 2018. Xiaomi has been quiet on the tablet front since then, but if a new report is to be believed, the company is gearing up to enter the segment once again, this time in under its Redmi sub-brand. As per Twitter tipster Tech In Deep, Xiaomi will launch the Redmi Pad 5G alongside the Mi 10 Youth Edition and MIUI 12 in China on April 27th.
