Sub-brand Xiaomi Poco is preparing for a big presentation on May 23. While they have already confirmed the Poco F6 and Poco F6 Pro smartphones, they have also released a teaser of their first tablet, the Poco Pad, on their official website.
Surprisingly, however, the company hasn't said much about it on its social media. But now we have official confirmation that Poco is indeed entering the tablet market with the Poco Pad. It will launch alongside the F6 phones on May 23.
Details about the Poco Pad remain scarce at this time. But previous rumors suggest that it will be a rebranded version of the recently announced Redmi Pad Pro.
This means users can expect a 12.1-inch IPS display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The device is likely to be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset.
The camera specs are also expected to mirror the Redmi Pad Pro, with an 8MP sensor on the back and another 8MP sensor on the front for selfies and video calls.
The Poco Pad may also support a stylus and keyboard case, as hinted in a report last month.
Audio will likely be handled by four speakers with Dolby Atmos technology for an immersive experience. Keeping the lights on will be a large 10,000mAh battery with support for 33W fast charging.
In related news, the Redmi Pad Pro has appeared on the Google Play Console, indicating that its global release is already close. Another report claims that the 5G version of the Redmi Pad Pro, codenamed 24074RPD2G (Global)/24074RPD2I (India)/24074RPD2C (China) and "ruan" is also in the works. It will have the same specs as the Wi-Fi only version, but will also offer 5G connectivity.
