Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi will soon release its first tablet, sources with knowledge of the matter told Reuters. Xiaomi announced it would hold a launch event in Beijing on 15 May, but declined to give details or comment further. The sources could not confirm whether the tablet would be unveiled at that event.
Xiaomi lists Sharp as a display supplier on its website and the sources said Sharp would make the displays for the Xiaomi tablet. The tablet is expected to have a 7.9-inch screen, building on the 5.5-inch phablet launched by the company in March. It will likely be called the MiPad, the report said.
