In March-end, Xiaomi teased the launch of its first tablet in India but that turned out to be an April Fool’s prank. And well, the news took a backseat until today. Almost a month later, the company has today announced that it will launch the Xiaomi Pad 5 in India on April 27. This announcement comes months after Xiaomi launched the Xiaomi Pad 5 series (formerly called Mi Pad 5 series) in China. Here are the details to know.
The Xiaomi Pad 5 will launch in India alongside the flagship Xiaomi 12 Pro at 12 pm on April 27. It is expected to be an online event, which will be live-streamed via the company’s social media platforms.
