Xiaomi Pad 5 reportedly launching in India later this month

After 3 years of hiatus, Xiaomi made a comeback to the Android tablet segment with the Xiaomi Pad 5 series launch last year. Originally exclusive to China, the tablet arrived in Europe in September. And now, nearly nine months later, Xiaomi is finally ready to launch its flagship tablet in India.

According to tipster Yogesh Brar (via 91Mobiles,) Xiaomi is gearing up to launch the Xiaomi Pad 5 in India. The tablet will reportedly launch alongside the Xiaomi 12 Pro on April 27. Xiaomi hasn’t made any official revelation about a tablet launch. However, Brar does have a good track record when it comes to leaks about Indian product launches and events, so we won’t be surprised if this leak turns out to be accurate.
