After launching the high-end MediaPad M5 Pro tablet last year, it seems that the China-based Huawei is working on its successor which may soon launch in the company’s home market.
Xda-developers have found evidence related to a new Huawei tablet codenamed “CMR2” within the Kirin 970 kernel source code that was released by the company in January earlier this year. Since the “CMR” codename is for the 2018 Huawei MediaPad M5 Pro, it’s safe to assume that the “CMR2” will be the successor to that model.
The report further reveals the key specifications of the “CMR2” tablet. It is said to feature 10.7-inch TFT LCD display with support for 2560 x 1600 pixels screen resolution which will be manufactured either by InnoLux or BOE.
Under the hood, the tablet will be powered by the company’s own HiSilicon Kirin 970 octa-core chipset, which is an older chipset launched in 2017. This is the same chipset that powers the company’s Mate 10-series smartphones.
There could be two variants of the tablet — 4GB RAM + 64GB storage and 6GB RAM with 128GB storage. In the camera department, the device will feature a 13-megapixel Sony IMX258 or OmniVision OV13855 camera sensor on the rear. Currently, there’s no information available about the front-facing snapper.
As for the software, the upcoming Huawei MediaPad tablet is expected to be running Android 9 Pie operating system out-of-the-box with the company’s own custom interface EMUI 9 on top. The device could be fuelled by a 7,500mAh.

Meanwhile, Huawei’s sub-brand Honor is also gearing up to launch a new MediaPad Tab 5 series tablet with a display size of 8-inch. The company has already started teasing the device but has not yet revealed the exact launch date, availability or pricing details. However, it should get launched in the coming days.
