Update as of 20 February 2026: We may have missed a key detail in the X post by Xiaomi India. The company wrote, “We’ve redefined the tablet category, but we’re not stopping there,” which could be a teaser for the Xiaomi Pad 8 India launch rather than a new Xiaomi laptop. Another tipster, Kartikey Singh, has also confirmed that this teaser is for the Xiaomi Pad 8. Moreover, the exact details will be revealed once the microsite goes live.
Since Xiaomi has already launched the Xiaomi Pad 8 in China, it is expected to arrive in India with the same set of specifications, as suggested by several global certifications. The Xiaomi Pad 8 features an 11.2-inch display with a 3.2K screen resolution, a 144Hz refresh rate, 345ppi screen density, 800 nits peak brightness, full DC dimming, and TÜV Rheinland triple eye protection certification. The Soft Light Edition includes an AG nano-texture display with AR coating that reduces reflectivity by 70%.
It runs on Xiaomi HyperOS 3 and supports PC-level multitasking, a PC-level browser, and professional applications including WPS, CAD, and CAJ.
The tablet measures 5.75mm in thickness and weighs 485g. It supports accessories such as the Focus Touch Pen Pro and the Floating Keyboard.
It features quad speakers with Dolby Atmos support, multiple microphones, and AI features. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4. The device comes with a USB Type-C port and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor.
The Xiaomi Pad 8 is powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 SoC and is backed by a 9,200mAh battery with 45W fast charging support.
The earlier story continues below.
After almost 3 long years, it appears that Xiaomi is making a comeback in the Indian laptop market, as the first teaser is now live.
Here is more to it.
Xiaomi India teases the launch of a new laptop
Via a post on X by Xiaomi India, the launch of a new laptop has now been confirmed. The teaser shows a glimpse of the laptop, which appears to be ultra-thin, and Xiaomi is promoting this upcoming laptop with the tagline “Future of Computing”. Since this is the first teaser, the brand has only highlighted some of the details, and most likely, once its microsite appears on Flipkart or Amazon, more details will filter out.
We’ve redefined the tablet category, but we’re not stopping there.
The #FutureOfComputing is closer than you think, and it’s unlike anything you’ve seen before.

In 2024, reports revealed that Xiaomi had removed most of its laptop inventory from its online store as well as from Amazon and Flipkart, but even before this, Xiaomi had stopped launching new laptops in India, with the last one being the Mi Notebook Ultra & Pro back in 2021. Now, after more than 3 years, the latest teaser suggests that Xiaomi is finally planning a comeback in the Indian laptop market. As stated above, this is the first teaser, so we are hoping that in the coming days, more details about this upcoming laptop will be revealed.
In related news, Xiaomi launched the Xiaomi QLED TV X Pro 75 (2026) in India and is now gearing up to launch the Xiaomi 17 Series, whose launch date for the global markets has been announced for February 28. Though the India launch is expected next month, that is March.
And as soon as more details come out for this upcoming laptop for India, we will surely update you all.
