Xiaomi Confirms Redmi Pad 2 Pro Relaunch With New Version for China
Xiaomi has officially confirmed that it will relaunch the Redmi Pad 2 Pro in its home market later this month, marking the tablet’s long-awaited debut in China. Interestingly, the large Android tablet originally launched in global markets first, making this relaunch an unusual but strategic move for the company.
The Chinese launch won’t be a simple re-release either. Xiaomi has teased that the Redmi Pad 2 Pro will arrive with a new version, hinting at fresh configurations and limited-edition finishes aimed at reigniting interest in the tablet segment.
From Global Launch to China Debut
The Redmi Pad 2 Pro made its first appearance globally in September 2025, launching alongside the Xiaomi 15T series. Since then, it has been available in markets such as India and parts of Europe in both Wi-Fi-only and 5G variants, positioning itself as a large-screen Android tablet focused on productivity and entertainment.
Now, Xiaomi is bringing the tablet to China for the first time—an uncommon move, considering most Xiaomi hardware traditionally debuts in its domestic market before going global.
Massive Battery and Fast Charging Confirmed
While Xiaomi is keeping some specifications under wraps, the company has already confirmed one major highlight: the Redmi Pad 2 Pro will feature a massive 12,000mAh battery.
This oversized battery is designed for extended screen-on time, making the tablet suitable for:
- Media consumption
- Online classes
- Productivity tasks
- Gaming sessions on a large display
The tablet will also support 27W wired charging, along with reverse wired charging, allowing it to power accessories or other devices when needed—a feature still rare in Android tablets.
Large Display and Familiar Design Expected
Although Xiaomi hasn’t officially re-listed the full spec sheet yet, the China-bound version of the Redmi Pad 2 Pro is expected to closely resemble the global model already on sale.
Based on previous releases, users can expect:
- A 12.1-inch display, ideal for split-screen multitasking
- A slim-bezel design focused on content viewing
- A lightweight build despite the large battery
This positions the Redmi Pad 2 Pro as a strong alternative to premium Android tablets, especially for users who prioritize screen size and battery life over flagship-level pricing.
Harry Potter Special Edition Teased
One of the more eye-catching announcements is Xiaomi’s confirmation of a Harry Potter Special Edition of the Redmi Pad 2 Pro.
Teaser images suggest:
- A custom-themed back finish
- Possibly a matching protective case
- Collector-focused packaging
Xiaomi has previously released special-edition products tied to popular franchises, and these variants often see strong demand—especially in China. This move could help the Redmi Pad 2 Pro stand out in an increasingly crowded Android tablet market.
Launch Timeline and Availability
Xiaomi has confirmed that the Redmi Pad 2 Pro will launch in China before the end of this month, alongside the Redmi Turbo 5 Max smartphone. Interested buyers can already reserve the tablet through Xiaomi’s official microsite, indicating that the release is imminent.
As of now, there is no confirmation about:
- Additional hardware upgrades
- New processor options
- Expanded storage variants
However, the introduction of a new version suggests Xiaomi may be testing market demand before expanding the lineup further.
Why This Relaunch Matters
While tablet searches don’t generate the same volume as smartphones, Xiaomi’s decision to relaunch the Redmi Pad 2 Pro in China signals continued confidence in large-screen Android tablets, particularly those balancing battery life, display size, and price.
With remote work, streaming, and digital education still driving tablet usage, Xiaomi appears to be positioning the Redmi Pad 2 Pro as a reliable, long-lasting device rather than a niche accessory.
More details—including pricing and full specifications—are expected to surface closer to launch.
