Huawei re-entered the India market last year with the introduction of Huawei P20 series. The Chinese firm has since then launched devices such as Huawei Nova 3 series, Huawei Y9 (2019) and Huawei Watch GT. The company also plans to launch the Huawei Mate X foldable phone in India in the near future. Leaked information shared by reliable tipster Ishan Agarwal reveals Huawei is planning to enter the tablets market in India. He has also shared images of the first tablet that will be heading to the country without mentioning its name.
The images show that the first Huawei tablet for India will have thick bezels around the display. It will be equipped with a front-facing camera and a rear-mounted snapper. The tablet is shown in Black color. The wallpaper shown in the image and design of the tablet suggest that it could be MediaPad T5 tablet that was introduced last year in August in China.
The Huawei MediaPad T5 has a 10.1-inch IPS LCD panel that produces full HD resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels. It is loaded with Android 8.0 Oreo OS and GPU Turbo technology. The older Kirin 659 chipset is present under the hood of the tablet with up to 3 GB of RAM. It has a rear camera of 5-megapixel and a front camera of 2-megapixel. It is packed with a 5,100mAh battery. The tablet was introduced in Black and Champagne Gold color options.
In the last week, Huawei had launched the MediaPad M6 series of tablets in China. The 10.8 and 8.4-inch MediaPad M6 tablets are flagship devices powered by Kirin 980 chipset and 4 GB of RAM. They are equipped with big batteries and quad speakers. It appears that the company may want to launch mid-range tablets in India before releasing models with flagship specs.
Coming back to MediaPad T5, its Wi-Fi only versions such as 3 GB RAM + 32 GB storage and 4 GB RAM + 64 GB storage were respectively unveiled in China with 1,399 Yuan (~$203) and 1,599 Yuan price tags (~$232). The 6 GB RAM + 64 GB storage’s LTE model was introduced in the home market with a price tag of 1,799 Yuan (~$261). If the MediaPad T5 arrives in India, it could be coming with a starting price of less than Rs. 15,000.
