Huawei has announced that it will launch two new tablets in China—the MatePad Pro and MatePad Air—on August 6th. While details are limited, the company has teased their designs on Weibo and shared news of a major update for its GoPaint drawing application.
Huawei’s Weibo post included an image of the MatePad Pro which reveals a sleek tablet with a wide display and minimal bezels. The tablet will come with a stylus and keyboard, both of which are expected to use NearLink technology for a smooth wireless connection.
According to Huawei Central, the MatePad Pro might feature a 12.2-inch double-layer OLED screen. It’s also rumored to come in three colors: Inkstone Black, Xuan White, and Gold.
Huawei, on the other hand, teased the MatePad Air in all its four colors: White, Green, Sakura Pink, and Rose Gold. Its design appears to be quite different from the previous generation, featuring a horizontal lens setup similar to the Nova 12 Ultra on the back.
The MatePad Air is rumored to have an 11.95-inch display and support for 66W fast charging, though other specifications are not yet known.
Alongside the tablets, Huawei has announced a stable release of the GoPaint app, which is currently in beta testing on select Huawei tablets.
In other Huawei news, the company will launch its budget Nova Flip smartphone in China on August 5, just a day before the tablets. It’s unclear why Huawei chose to release these products on consecutive days, but that’s the plan.
Huawei Nova Flip is said to have a 6.94-inch LTPO OLED main display with a 120Hz high refresh rate, making it the largest foldable screen on a flip-style phone.
Complementing this is a 2.14-inch outer OLED screen for quick access to notifications and various functions. The device will be powered by a Kirin 9-series G-free chipset, with ample RAM and generous storage options. For photography, it will include a 50MP main camera, an 8MP ultrawide lens, and a 32MP front camera for selfies. Additionally, the Nova Flip will come with a 4400mAh battery and support 66W fast charging.
