Xiaomi is reportedly gearing up to launch a new Redmi-branded gaming tablet by the end of June, and early leaks suggest it could be a powerful yet affordable alternative to devices from Lenovo and RedMagic. The unannounced tablet is expected to debut alongside the Redmi K80 Ultra, with both devices rumored to pack MediaTek’s flagship Dimensity 9400+ processor.
According to leaks shared by trusted tipster Digital Chat Station, the gaming-focused Redmi tablet will feature an 8.8-inch LCD panel with a high refresh rate aimed at delivering smoother visuals during fast-paced gameplay. While exact figures remain unconfirmed, the display will likely target 120Hz or above to keep pace with current gaming standards.
One of the standout features expected is bypass charging—a feature more commonly seen in gaming smartphones. This allows users to power the device directly through the charger without stressing the battery, reducing heat and lag during extended gaming sessions. The tablet is also rumored to ship with a large battery, dual USB-C ports for added flexibility, and stereo speakers for immersive sound. Dual X-axis linear motors will further enhance the gaming experience with more responsive haptic feedback.
The build is tipped to feature a metal unibody, which should offer a premium feel and increased durability, while still being lightweight enough for on-the-go use. Xiaomi seems to be positioning the new slate as a direct rival to gaming tablets in the \$300–\$400 range, and some insiders suggest it may launch at an aggressive price point to undercut competitors.
