Well, I got snookered this time like everyone else. Unless Xiaomi plans to introduce two tablets next week, the prior image I ran of the white plastic one was yet another fake.
That’s the President of Xiaomi, who has been putting out some spoilers of next week’s conference via Weibo. And that image is definitely of a tablet.

Xiaomi’s “Grand Finale” product announcement is next week, Tuesday, November 24.
If anyone got snookered it was their own fault. The alleged widescreen Xiaomi tab had a stock Android Kitkat settings screen with Kitkat buttons too. It takes no more than a passing knowledge of how a stock Android device looks to laugh that fake away.
I didn’t examine the screen closely enough.
