Depending on the variant, the upcoming Xiaomi Pad 6 and Xiaomi Pad 6 Pro are expected to feature MediaTek Dimensity chips or Qualcomm Snapdragon, processors. Furthermore, it has also been mentioned that the high-end Xiaomi Pad 6 Pro tablet can support up to 120W fast charging.
The recent listing leak involved four different tablets, one of which is likely to be from the Redmi brand. According to a source on Weibo, Xiaomi will launch three versions (Pad 6/Pad 6 Pro/Xiaomi Pad 6 Pro 5G) of the upcoming tablet in the second half of the year, with the series featuring Dimensity and Snapdragon chips. Interestingly, the tipster also says that the “high-end version has been upgraded a lot,” which could point to a higher-end Xiaomi Pad 6 Pro model to compete with Apple’s iPad Pro. The frequent rumor that a Dimensity 9000 SoC or Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC will be used in the Xiaomi Pad 6 range becomes more credible if this is the case.
Regardless of Xiaomi’s desire to compete with Apple’s iPad Pro with its own high-powered tablet, it would be wise for the company to produce a cheaper model for its fans. There have been further rumors that a Xiaomi Pad 6 or Pad 6 Pro could use a Dimensity 8100 processor. This would still be an improvement over the processors used in the Pad 5 series. However, it would not be as powerful as the Dimensity 9000 or Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and would bring the price down. It appears that many commentators also agree that at least the flagship tablet in the Xiaomi Pad 6 range will support 120W fast charging.
There has been quite a bit of speculation surrounding potential upcoming Xiaomi (and Redmi) tablets that have appeared in recent EEC listings, with the latest news coming from various sources in China. Xiaomi is expected to use chips from both MediaTek and Qualcomm, unlike the Xiaomi Pad 5 and Pad 5 Pro, both of which were sourced only from Qualcomm (Pad 5: Snapdragon 860; Pad 5 Pro: mouth of dragon 870). However, it appears that there is some disagreement over which processors are likely to be used. Fans hope for something like an LTPO display with a 144Hz refresh rate.
