The listing identifies the purported tablet by the model number and also confirms its moniker. The Redmi Pad 3 had previously also surfaced on various certification sites, suggesting that its launch could be on the horizon.

The same model number, notably, was previously spotted on Indonesia's SDPPI certification database (via TechOutlook). According to the listing, the Wi-Fi-only variant was registered under certificate number 128228/DJID/2026 on October 27, 2026. PT Xiaomi Technology Indonesia was named as the applicant, while the device was categorised as a Tablet Computer under the Redmi brand, with China listed as its country of origin.
The Redmi Pad 3 (2610FRP38G) has also reportedly received approval from the UAE's Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA). The appearance of the tablet on certification platforms across Malaysia, Indonesia and the UAE suggests that Xiaomi may be preparing for a wider rollout, although the company has yet to announce its launch plans.
The same tablet's Wi-Fi variant has also appeared on the TÜV certification database alongside the Redmi Pad 3 4G, which reportedly carries the model number 26104RPF2G. The same listing includes model numbers 25040RP0AG, 25040RP0AL, and 25040RP0AE, which are believed to be associated with the Redmi Pad 2's Wi-Fi and 4G variants.
The certifications suggest that Xiaomi could be preparing both Wi-Fi-only and cellular versions of the Redmi Pad 3.
