Xiaomi seems to have run out of patience to wait for the launch of its Mi Pad 4 tablet and Redmi 6 smartphone. The company was expected to bring out the new devices at a launch event in China, but it surprisingly listed them both on its official website revealing all the essential information about them. Well, we are pretty happy that Xiaomi did that as it marginally reduced the waiting time for us to get the glimpse of the devices alongside essential details such as specs and pricing. We wonder if Xiaomi will still be hosting a launch event, as many of us expected and even if it does then not many will be glued to it as the important information concerning the devices is already out.
