Xiaomi is believed to be working on as many as three Android tablets. We don’t know the exact date or details of these tablets, but they are expected to be part of the Mi Pad 5 series. Several reports suggest that the Mi Pad 5 tablets will launch in the second half of 2021 and now more details have emerged. Xiaomi leaker Digital Chat Statio has confirmed through his Weibo account that Mi Pad 5 will feature a 120Hz refresh rate display. The post on Weibo also hints at the design of the tablet. The leaker confirms that the Mi Pad 5 will not come with an OLED panel, instead will use an LCD screen. This is significant given that Xiaomi has used an AMOLED panel on most of its recently launched smartphones. Even the more affordable Redmi Note 10 came with an AMOLED panel. The leak also suggests that the Mi Pad 5 will come with a side mounted fingerprint scanner which sounds believable as it has been the go-to option for Xiaomi and Poco phones. In terms of design, the tablet is tipped to come with a right-angled design for the screen, similar to iPad Pro, and Air models. Digital Chat Station also claims that the upcoming Mi Pad 5 will be lightweight and thin.
