A new wave of rumors suggests that the successor to last year's flagship small tablet is currently in development. Expected to launch before the end of June, the Redmi K Pad 2 is shaping up to be a powerful compact device. It is widely anticipated that this tablet will be released in international markets under the name Xiaomi Pad Mini 2.
According to leaked details, the device will retain the 8.8-inch LCD screen found on its predecessor, offering a crisp 1880x3008 resolution and a smooth 165Hz refresh rate. While the display remains consistent, the internal components are receiving significant upgrades.
The Redmi K Pad 2 is expected to be powered by the Dimensity 9500 SoC, a notable step up from the previous generation's hardware. Battery life also sees a major boost, with a rumored 9,000 mAh battery, providing more endurance than the 7,500 mAh cell used in the original model.
For audio and haptics, the tablet will likely feature dual X-axis vibration motors and enhanced symmetrical speakers. Reports hint at a potential collaboration with Bose for the audio system, aiming to deliver a premium multimedia experience in a portable form factor.
