Grazia alle varie certificazioni in patria è emersa l’esistenza del tablet siglato 2603ARP14C, dispositivo atteso come Redmi Pad 2 9.7. Rispetto al Redmi Pad 2 già rilasciato dovremmo avere un design più compatto, con uno schermo da 9,7″ di diagonale (contro gli 11″ attuali).

Purtroppo si sa ancora molto poco: il dispositivo arriverà con la ricarica da 33W, un caricatore da 18W in confezione (almeno in Cina) e due versioni, solo WiFi e con 4G. Il tablet arriverà anche in versione Global, sicuramente in India e in altri mercati non ancora specificati. Inoltre dovrebbe avere una doppia anima, Redmi in certi Paesi e POCO in altri.

A questo punto possiamo ipotizzare che i nostri Xiaomi 17T e 17T Pro arriveranno in compagnia del nuovo tablet compatto. Manca una data ma vista l’uscita cinese ad aprile, è probabile che il lancio internazionale possa avvenire verso maggio.
