Xiaomi hasn’t launched a tablet for a long time and the last tablet Mi Pad 3 was released back in April 2017. Now, after a year, the company seems to be working on its successor- the Mi Pad 4. The new report claims that the tablet will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 SoC and a 6,000mAh battery.
As per a report by XDA-developers, they managed to get a firmware file of an unknown Xiaomi device with codename ‘clover’. The firmware revealed that the device could be the much-awaited Mi Pad 4. The files also reveal a few key specs of the upcoming Mi Pad 4 as well. Interestingly, it will come with an 18:9 display.
