It was also reported that a Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 processor will be integrated into the tablet to enhance performance overall, especially in terms of a fair LTE experience.

HONOR flagship tablet tipped to launch in May, will feature tablet version of Dimensity 9000

The HONOR product launch scheduled for May has been tipped to lift the curtains on a number of products. Along with a new laptop series, the company will also be launching a new flagship tablet, says tipster Factory Manager.

The flagship tablet will be equipped with a “very powerful” chip, likely a flagship one, and will set the benchmark for 2022 Android tablets. While not explicitly mentioned, the tipster did hint that the said chip will be another version of the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 with a higher frequency. This version is aimed specifically at tablets and power-efficient notebooks and will likely not be making its way to smartphones.

HONOR released the V7 Pro tablet last year with a similar chipset called the MediaTek Kompanio 1300T. The processor is based on TSMC’s 6nm process and has 4×A78 large cores + 4×A55 small cores, and it’s likely that the chip described above will be a part of the Kompanio series as well.

In terms of laptops to be launched with the May event, there will be a new HONOR MagicBook series that will be equipped with 12th Gen Intel or Ryzen 6000 series processors.

Earlier, the same tipster also said that Huawei will hold an event in April to launch the new MateBook notebook and Huawei Band 7.

Apple goes unchallenged in tablet market, ships over 57 million iPads in 2021

Sudhanshu — Mon, 31 Jan 2022 15:12:50 +0000

As we enter the third year of the ongoing global pandemic, tablets remain in high demand for work and school needs. The latest report from the International Data Corporation (IDC) has revealed that although the fourth quarter of 2021 saw a decline in shipments of tablets by 11.9% when compared to Q4 2020, total shipments grew by 3.2% when accounted for the whole year.

So let’s take a look at the shipment numbers of top tablet and Chromebook manufacturers to figure out who came out on top in 2021.

Apple remains dominant in the tablet market with its iPad offerings. The Cupertino giant retains the top spot with 57.8 million units shipped in 2021. The brand enjoyed a 34.2% market share and experienced an 8.4% yearly growth. Apple also shipped the most tablets in Q4 2021 at 17.5 million, however, the brand experienced an 8.6% decline in shipments when compared to Q4 of 2020.

In the second spot, we have Samsung with 30.9 million tablet shipments in 2021. The South Korean giant commanded an 18.3% market share and enjoyed a 3.8% yearly growth in the tablet segment. Samsung shipped 7.3 million tablets in Q4 2021 which was a 21.6% decline compared to Q4 2020.

Lenovo came in third with 17.7 million tablets shipments in 2021, which amounted to a 19.2% yearly growth compared to 2020. The company shipped 4.6 million tablets in the last quarter of 2021 which was 1.6 million sell than the volume shipped by the brand in Q4 of 2020.

Amazon shipped 16.1 million Fire Tablets in 2021 giving it the fourth-largest tablet market share at 9.5%. The brand grew 15.1% compared to 2020 and even enjoyed a positive growth of 1.3% in Q4 shippings year-on-year.

On the fifth position, we have Huawei and Honor who suffered a 32.1% decline in shipments at 9.7 million units shipped in 2021. However, the initial decline in shipping volume somewhat stabilized in Q4 of 2021, with the brand shipping 2.5 million tablets compared to 2.9 million shipments in Q4 2020.

The sharp decrease in the yearly shipping numbers is most likely due to the recent sanctions by the U.S. which prevents the brand from doing business with any American companies like Qualcomm and even Taiwan’s TSMC, which is the leading contract manufacturer for chipsets in the world.

Despite the market moving past its peak demand for tablets, senior research analyst Anutoopa Nataraj has stated that the shipments will remain above pre-pandemic levels as virtual learning, remote work, and media consumption remain priorities for users.

Honor has just announced that it will be hosting its Smart Life product launch conference on September 26. During this event, the company will announce various new smart devices and products.

The Chinese smartphone maker made the announcement earlier today (16th September 2021), with its official event slogan being “Pursue the Beauty with Wisdom, Connect Life with Technology.” Notably, the news of the September 26 Smart Life event also arrives after the previously announced Imaging Technology conference on September 22, which hints at possible upgrades for the Magic3 series’ camera system. Looking at the image poster shared by the company, we can see various smart products like laptops, TVs, tablets, and more.

In other words, we can expect to see the brand announce certain new products within those segment in the upcoming event later this month. Furthermore, while the company had announced the Honor Watch GS 3 in a launch event back in August, the smart wearable has yet to be officially released. So, we could also see the official launch of this smartwatch as well, which features 8 channel PPG sensor that uses an AI algorithm and AI Engine to accurately measure heart rate.

Leaker confirms Honor Magic will be a foldable; new mid-range phones and a tablet are coming soon too

Habeeb Onawole — Sat, 27 Feb 2021 21:05:59 +0000

If you are wondering what is going on at Honor, then we have got some news for you. A new leak has revealed info about what the Chinese manufacturer has planned for this year. Some of the details confirm what we have heard before from other sources while the rest are new.

According to the Weibo leaker that goes by Digital Chat Station, Honor is planning to release new mid-range and entry-level phones soon. We don’t know which models are planned but we expect the Honor 11, Honor11x, and their variants to launch this year. We also presume the entry model phone may be a successor to the Honor 9A which should launch as the Honor 10A.

The leaker also revealed that the next flagship from the manufacturer which should launch as the Honor 40 will come with a new processor and will be announced in May or June. He adds that one of the main selling points of the Honor 40 will be its camera performance. This is because a lot of Huawei’s big advancements in camera technology are now owned by Honor.

Last but not the least, the source confirms that the Honor Magic foldable phone is coming (later) along with a flagship tablet. We have heard reports that the Magic series will return this year and that the new model will be a foldable phone. This is a big deal as Honor is yet to launch a foldable phone while its former parent company, Huawei, has announced three. The Honor tablet should be the successor to the Honor V6 from last year.

Honor definitely has a lot of interesting devices planned for this year and we look forward to their launch most especially its first foldable phone.

Honor X3 Tablet To Be Released At CES 2016, 2K Display In Tow?

A few minutes earlier we reported that Huawei will most likely release its new Huawei P9 flagship at CES 2016. While we are not quite sure of the phone’s release this early, we have a product that we are quite sure will end up at the event. Thanks to a teaser from the company, it looks like Huawei will show off the Honor X3 tablet at CES 2016 in Las Vegas.

Yesterday afternoon, Huawei released a teaser showing off a thin metal device, with the following words on top “Rhythm x Entertainment”. The poster shows that the speakers will be located at the side and it will feature at least a metal frame, if not an all metal body. From the size of the device and the design, it looks like Huawei will release the Honor X3 tablet at the event.

Possible Specs of Honor X3 tab

Huawei may incorporate the same Kirin 950 chipset that debuted on the Huawei Mate 8 flagship. Thanks to the previous leaks, we kind of know the specifications of the device. The Honor X3 tablet is rumored to come with a 6.2-inch display with 2K resolution screen. Huawei has often stressed 2K resolution is unnecessary on a smartphone sized device. But the company may make an exception with the Honor X3, probably because it’s a large phablet/ tablet.

Under the hood, the X3 is said to come with Kirin 950 with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. At the back, the device will reportedly come with a 20MP camera while up front, you can expect an 8MP sensor. As for the software, the X3 tablet is said to feature the all new Android 6.0 Lollipop update.

Since the teaser confirms the launch on January 5th, we don’t have to wait too long to get more details about the Honor X3. Pricing details are still unknown, but you can expect the tablet to retail for somewhere around $400.
