With the Xiaomi Pad 6 series now over a year old, we eagerly await the next-generation Xiaomi Pad 7 series. For those unaware, the Xiaomi Pad series is a high-end lineup of tablets. Unlike the Redmi Pad series which targets the mid-range market, the Xiaomi Pad series is a flagship tablet series. There’s considerable anticipation surrounding the Xiaomi Pad 7 series, particularly due to the leaked specifications and the potential for a unique car-use experience. In this article, we will explore the latest information regarding the Pad 7 series.
The original Xiaomi Pad 6 series came out in last year’s April. However, there seems to be a delay for the Pad 7 series. A renowned leaker on Weibo goes by the name Smart Pikachu has said that the Xiaomi Pad 7 series is scheduled to launch in Q3 2024. The leaker has a track record of accurate leaks, such as Xiaomi 14 Ultra leaks in the past. If Smart Pikachu’s track record holds, the Xiaomi Pad 7 series will also offer a fascinating car integration feature.
Xiaomi Pad 7 Series Will Have Car Integration
The leaker has also claimed that the Pad 7 series will be suitable for car use via plug-and-play. Since Xiaomi is also an EV manufacturer, it’s beneficial that they are making the ecosystem a focus with their products. While the functionality of car integration is a mystery, it is possible the Pad 7 could potentially act as a secondary information display within Xiaomi EVs. It could display navigation, and media controls, or even become an extended control hub for managing lights, climate control, etc.
