The Redmi Pad Pro was launched in China in April this year with a Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 SoC, a 10,000mAh battery with fast charging support, and a 12.1-inch 2.5K LCD display. It was listed in three configurations of RAM and storage and Wi-Fi connectivity. The tablet is yet to arrive in India, but the launch seems imminent as the tablet has been spotted on the Google Play console. Now it has been confirmed that the tablet will also be presented in a 5G variant.
Introducing the Redmi Pad Pro 5G
Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun (@leijun) announced in a post on X (formerly Twitter) that the Redmi Pad Pro 5G will come with 5G SIM card support. An exact launch date or timeline has not yet been revealed. Jun added that the 5G variant will also support a ‘network sync’ feature, which will allow users to easily connect their phone’s hotspot to the tablet with a single touch.

The design of the upcoming model seen in the teaser poster is similar to that of the current Redmi Pad Pro. Even the colors and accessories i.e. stylus, keyboard and mask also seem similar. It is seen in shades similar to the Dark Gray and Shallow Blue Bay options. This suggests that apart from the added 5G connectivity, the Redmi Pad Pro 5G is likely to be similar to the Wi-Fi only version.
