While hardware details have been tipped by various leaks in the past, a new leak has surfaced proposing images of the Xiaomi Pad 6.
Posted by tipster digital chat station on Weibo, the images were first reported by CNMO.com. The leaked live images suggest a brand new design for the back of the Xiaomi Pad 6, which seems to have a unibody design in contrast to the metal frame and polycarbonate back Xiaomi pad 5. What’s noticeably different is the rear camera layout, which now appears to have a setup very similar to the camera module of those currently available Xiaomi 12 Pro smartphone.
While the camera module appears to have the clean dividing lines found on the Xiaomi 12 Pro’s camera, this module appears to be made of clear plastic rather than metal. The two camera lenses are also striking, one for the main camera and a second whose function remains unclear. Also visible is a third cutout and an LED flash setup.
