Chinese mobile phone maker Xiaomi is reportedly getting ready for making a debut in the tablet market, and it is already testing a device for that.

The slate is said to sport a 7-inch touchscreen display, and might make an official appearance on August 16, alongside other new devices from Xiaomi.

The first prototypes of the yet unannounced slate are currently undergoing testing at Foxconn, it seems, which raises questions regarding the emergence of a final flavor on the aforementioned date.

According to GizChina, the upcoming device should run a version of MIUI, and might be priced at only 999 Yuan (around $162 / €125).

August 16 might also bring to the spotlight a new flagship smartphone from the handset vendor, none other than the long rumored Xiaomi Mi3, along with other new products, such as a Smart TV.
