Rumors circulating on Chinese social channels point to Xiaomi unveiling a tablet next year that features an unusually high-resolution display. An insider known for sharing tech leaks on Digital Chat Station via Weibo indicates that this model will stand out with a 2.8K screen.
According to these reports, one member of the Xiaomi Pad 6 lineup is expected to sport a substantial 2880×1880 resolution, narrow bezels, and a 120 Hz refresh rate. The display size is rumored to be around 12.4 inches, and the panel is said to be built on OLED technology, promising deep blacks and vibrant colors for media and gaming alike.
Under the hood, the device is anticipated to be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, a chip that brings strong performance and efficiency to premium tablets released in recent years. This choice would place the tablet in the upper tier for multitasking, gaming, and smooth app experiences on the go.
Hints from the chatter suggest a spring 2023 (or nearby) launch window for the new tablet. While release timing can shift, the emphasis remains on delivering a high-end experience in a form factor that fits between compact slates and larger pro tablets.
Currently in Xiaomi’s lineup there is a 12.4-inch model that uses an IPS LCD with a standard resolution of 1600×2560. The Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro 12.4 currently ships with a Snapdragon 870 processor and is predominantly available in the Chinese market, highlighting Xiaomi’s strategy of tailoring devices to regional demands while expanding across global markets.
Earlier discussions around Xiaomi’s hardware demonstrations highlighted innovations in cooling and thermal management for high-performance devices, including other lines like Black Shark. Such developments suggest Xiaomi continues to explore ways to sustain peak performance in tablet and gaming-specific products, even as it expands its ecosystem and service integrations.
