Xiaomi may be readying a new entry for the small-form tablet crowd. According to fresh leaks, the company plans to rebrand the Redmi K Pad — which launched in China earlier this year — as the Xiaomi Pad Mini for global markets. The compact slate is tipped to arrive later this month, potentially alongside the Xiaomi 15T series on September 24.
If the reports hold, the Pad Mini will carry over the K Pad’s specs: an 8.8-inch LCD panel with 2.5K resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate, MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400+ chip, and a 7,500mAh battery that supports 67W fast charging. Expect an all-metal chassis, a 13MP rear camera, and an 8MP front shooter, plus Xiaomi’s HyperOS 2 (based on Android 15) out of the box.
The compact tablet market has been heating up, with Apple’s iPad Mini and RedMagic’s Astra tablet already staking claims. Xiaomi’s pitch seems clear: deliver high-end performance in a portable form factor, but at a more aggressive price. The Pad Mini may skip extras like a SIM slot or OLED display, but if the leaks are accurate, it could still appeal to students, mobile gamers, and anyone after a powerful tablet that won’t weigh down their bag.
We’ll know soon enough if September 24 is the date Xiaomi chooses to bring its compact tablet vision to the global stage.
