Xiaomi is gearing up to launch Mi Pad 3 in China. Based on the images sourced by GizmoChina, the Mi Pad 3 will launch on December 30. Moreover, the tablet will be more or less the same as the Mi Pad 2 released in 2015. The tablet will most likely feature a unimetal body design coupled with dual-speaker grilles on both right and left side of the USB Type-C port.
Xiaomi Mi Pad is desperate for a refresh. In India, we happen to buy the first edition of Mi Pad. However, the model has been discontinued by the company. We really don’t when Xiaomi will launch Mi Pad 2 in India. Even though the Mi Pad 2 is awaited, there are talks on the rumor mills about the rumored Mi Pad 3.
Xiaomi Mi Pad 3 will be thinner than previous counterparts
The main attraction of the Mi Pad 3 is the integration of an enhanced 9.7-inch display. Xiaomi has invaded Apple’s territory in the display segment. According to rumors, the Mi Pad 3 will be designed at 6.08mm thickness. With a weight of 380 grams, the Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 will be comparatively lighter than Apple iPad Pro.
