According to the new leak, one of the mid-range tablets from this series is also likely to be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8100 SoC.
The Xiaomi Pad 6 Pro and Pad 6 Pro 5G will have a battery capacity of up to 9,000mAh. Across the range of the new Pad 6, we will see support for 120W fast charging, making it one of the fastest charging tablets in the market. It should be noted that these rumoured specs for the Xiaomi iPad 6 series are yet speculative.
Xiaomi is yet to provide definitive details of its upcoming tablet lineup for this year. The release date, pricing, and global availability details of the Pad 6 series are yet to surface.
Having said that, the internal testing of the Xiaomi Pad 6 has started in Europe and will soon be certified for that region. Xiaomi may be able to launch the device by the end of August. As previously mentioned, it is worth noting that Xiaomi is yet to officially announce plans to launch a successor to the Xiaomi Pad 5 series.
