Xiaomi has begun teasing the release of a new gaming tablet under its Black Shark division, signalling an expansion of its gaming hardware lineup after a year marked by multiple tablet launches across various price segments. The device has been promoted on the brand’s Malaysian social media channels, suggesting that the launch cycle has moved into an official marketing phase.
Early regulatory filings appear to align with the current teasers, indicating that the tablet will be equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 series chipset. Market observers widely expect the processor to be the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, which is also used in the Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro. The inclusion of a high-end chipset positions the device for competitive gaming performance rather than mainstream entertainment.

The tablet is believed to adopt an 8.8-inch display, a size previously associated with the Xiaomi Pad Mini and Redmi K Pad. The compact footprint marks a departure from the larger display strategy seen across many recent gaming-tier tablets, placing the upcoming model in a niche segment designed for portability without sacrificing power.
In addition to performance hardware, Xiaomi has referenced the use of a dedicated cooling system tailored to extended gaming sessions. While no technical specifications have been confirmed, previous leaks highlighted a 7,300 mAh battery capacity, indicating an attempt to balance compact design with sustained runtime under heavy processing loads.
