Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro Rumored to Launch With Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, 144Hz Display

It’s not been a long time since we were following up on the Xiaomi Pad 6 and two more variants that were launched under the series. And now we have another Xiaomi tablet on the horizon that’s expected to launch soon as we have some details about this mystery tablet already, dubbed Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro. 

Now, here’s the scoop: a well-known leaker, Digital Chat Station, spilled the beans on Weibo about a mystery tablet. The speculation is that it could be the Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro. But since the leaker didn’t actually name-drop the tablet, there’s a chance Digital Chat Station might be teasing a completely different tablet altogether. Which is why we are going to take everything that’s been circulating on the internet about the alleged Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro with a pinch of salt.

Just to jog your memory, the Xiaomi Pad 6 series including the standard and Pro variant has been around for over six months and now leakers are dropping info on the next models. Xiaomi took until July 2023 to release the Pad 6 worldwide, and it’s currently available at $364 on Amazon.The tablet had a follow-up in the form of Xiaomi Pad 6 Max a month later in China, but neither it nor the Pad 6 Pro have been officially launched outside China yet.
