Huawei appears to be getting ready to launch a compact tablet in the coming weeks. The device, likely part of the MatePad lineup, is rumored to feature a slim, lightweight design and mid-range performance specs, according to a leak from Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station.
The upcoming MatePad model is said to measure just 5.x mm in thickness and weigh around 200 grams. It will reportedly feature an 8.8-inch OLED display with a 16:10 aspect ratio and 120Hz refresh rate.
According to Huawei Central, the company might use its dual-layer OLED technology (previously seen in its flagship tablets like MatePad Pro 12.2) for improved display contrast and color accuracy.
Under the hood, the tablet is expected to run on a Kirin 9-series processor, likely a lower-clocked variant of the Kirin 9020 with 5G support. This wouldn’t place the device in gaming tablet territory, but it should give enough horsepower for basic productivity tasks and media consumption.
There’s no official name for the tablet yet, but earlier reports suggest it may debut as part of Huawei’s June launch event, which is also expected to introduce the Pura 80 series. Unlike gaming-oriented slates, this tablet is reportedly aimed at users who prioritize productivity and office work on the go.
More information on the device, including camera configuration, AI features, and internal memory options, is still forthcoming. Huawei has not confirmed any details as of now.
