Xiaomi is reportedly gearing up to release a new Xiaomi Pad tablet with outstanding battery and charging features. The info comes from reliable tipster Digital Chat Station, the device will sport a dual-cell battery design with a combined rated capacity of 5,900mAh.

Premium Xiaomi Pad Coming Soon with 12,000mAh and OLED Display

This configuration is comparable to a 12,000mAh single-cell battery, ensuring extended battery life. Furthermore, the device supports 120W fast charging, enabling rapid recharging and significantly reducing downtime compared to earlier models.

While the exact model remains unconfirmed rumors point to the potential launch of an OLED tablet in 2025. It will come with an 11-inch display with a 144Hz refresh rate, a top-tier Snapdragon processor, up to 24GB of RAM, and 120W fast charging. These specifications are indeed very impressive, and hard to believe considering Xiaomi’s current strategy in the tablet scene. However, the company could be planning to scale up its current offering in the tablet market.

The design is expected to resemble the Xiaomi Pad 6 series, though no concrete details have been confirmed. Whether this is the rumored OLED tablet remains uncertain, so these details should be taken with a grain of salt.

The rumored Xiaomi tablet is expected to target the premium segment, with an estimated price of 4,000 yuan ($548). This positions it above the current Pad 7 Pro, whose top variant (12GB + 512GB) is priced at 3,499 yuan ($479), hinting at direct competition with Apple’s iPads. The tipster also confirmed that this tablet will not be part of Xiaomi’s Redmi lineup.
