The Mi Pad 3 tablet was removed from Chinese edition of Xiaomi’s site in October 2017. The company had also reportedly removed the tablet category from the official site. This had indicated that firm might have ended its tablet lineup, but few months later Xiaomi co-founder and CEO Lei Jun had confirmed that the company is developing a new tablet. However, neither him nor the company shared fresh information on it. Fresh information shared by well-known analyst Pan Jiutang who has also partnered with Xiaomi’s Industry Investment Department has claimed that the next Xiaomi tablet is in works.
The tablets industry has declined in the recent years. Hence, even though Mi Pad series of tablets have received good reception from audience, the company has been quite slow in debuting newer models.
