Redmi Pad Pro launched in China in April this year with a Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 SoC, a 10,000mAh battery with fast charging support, and a 12.1-inch 2.5K LCD screen. It was listed in three RAM and storage configurations and Wi-Fi connectivity. The tablet is yet to arrive in India but a launch seems imminent as the tablet was spotted on the Google Play Console. It has now been confirmed that the tablet will also be introduced in a 5G variant.

The design of the upcoming model seen in the teaser poster is similar to that of the current Redmi Pad Pro. Even the colourways and accessories, that is, a stylus, a keyboard and a cover case also appear similar. It is seen in shades similar to the Dark Grey and Shallow Blue Bay options. This suggests that apart from the additional 5G connectivity, the Redmi Pad Pro 5G is likely to be similar to the Wi-Fi-only version.
