Last month, Chinese tech giant Huawei launched its high-end tablet in the market — Huawei MatePad Pro. It was announced in four color options — Danxia Orange, Castle Peak, Fritillaria White, and Night Ash.
The device went on sale in China earlier this month but only White and Ash variants have been available for purchase. However, from today, Danxia Orange and Castle Peak color variants, which comes with a leather finish, will be available for purchase in China.
Unlike the other two color variants, the orange and green leather variants are limited to two configurations only and they are the WiFi-only 8GB + 256GB version and the 8GB + 512GB LTE version.
Both of them are priced at ¥4999 (~$713) and ¥5999 (~$856) respectively on Vmall. These models are more expensive than the other variants of the same configuration because they ship with the M-Pencil and the keyboard included.
Coming to the specifications, the Huawei MatePad Pro comes with a 10.8-inch display with rounded corners. The IPS LCD display features a punch-hole for the front camera and supports quad HD+ resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels and DCI-P3 color gamut, and also offers a screen-to-body ratio of 90 percent.
