Recently, Huawei unveiled the Huawei MatePad Pro Max for the global market. Now, the company is reportedly preparing to launch the tablet in China, possibly in June. Ahead of the expected debut, tipster Digital Chat Station has revealed that the Chinese version will be slightly different from the global edition. The tipster also claims that the Huawei Nova 16 series and new smartwatch models will debut alongside the MatePad Pro Max in China.

Huawei MatePad Pro Max (Chinese edition)

According to the leak, the upcoming MatePad Pro Max for China will feature a 13.2-inch flexible OLED display with a 3000 × 2000 resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. The tablet is also tipped to offer ultra-slim 3.55mm bezels on all four sides. For photography, it may include a 12-megapixel front camera and a 50-megapixel rear camera.

The tablet is expected to be powered by a flagship Kirin 9-series chipset, likely from the Kirin 9030 series, and pack a 10,400mAh battery with support for 66W and 100W charging adapters. Other expected features include satellite communication support on select variants; Star Flash connectivity, USB 3.2 Gen 1 support, and an optional soft light display version.

The tablet could launch in Obsidian Grey, Glow Blue, and Moon Silver color options. According to another tipster known as Hyperdimensional Realm, the device may arrive in configurations such as 12GB+256GB / 512GB, 16GB+256GB / 512GB / 1TB, and 20GB+512GB / 1TB. The latter is said to be a Collector’s Edition variant bundled with a stylus package. The tablet is also expected to come preinstalled with HarmonyOS 6.1.

Huawei Nova 16 lineup and smartwatches

DCS also mentioned that the engineering prototypes of the Nova 16 series’ top-end variant, likely to be called the Nova 16 Ultra, may receive a major camera upgrade. The device is tipped to feature a 1/1.3-inch large sensor primary camera, front and rear multispectral sensors, a periscope telephoto camera, and wireless charging support.

The standard Nova 16 model is said to feature a new 6.68-inch display.

Huawei spent much of its Bangkok launch event talking about smartwatches, including the new Huawei Watch Fit 5 Pro and Huawei Watch GT Runner 2 Racing Legend Edition, but the company also introduced a new flagship tablet called the Huawei MatePad Pro Max.

The new MatePad Pro Max is Huawei’s latest premium tablet, and the company is making thinness one of its biggest selling points. At just 4.7mm thick and weighing 499g, Huawei says the MatePad Pro Max is the world’s thinnest and lightest flagship tablet. 

Huawei MatePad Pro Max Specifications

The device features a 13.2-inch flexible OLED PaperMatte display with 3K resolution, 144Hz refresh rate, 1600 nits peak brightness, and 1440Hz PWM Dimming. Huawei says the PaperMatte technology reduces glare and improves visibility in bright environments. 

The bezels are also unusually slim at 3.55mm. Huawei has hidden the 12MP front-facing camera system inside the bezel itself.  The back has a 50MP rear camera.

The MatePad Pro Max also supports keyboard accessories and stylus input, and the company says it’s designed for “PC-level productivity.” Speaking of which, the tablet delivers 20% performance bump and 30% better heat dissipation than the MatePad Pro 2025. 

Despite its slimness, Huawei has fitted in a big enough 10,400mAh battery, which is good for over 14 hours of video on a single charge. For audio, you get a six-speaker setup with quad-driver bass and four microphones. 

Price and Availability

The Huawei MatePad Pro Max is launching in two flavors: 12/256GB and 12/512GB. Pricing starts at £999.99, and you can choose between Blue and Space Gray shades, though Huawei says regional availability will vary depending on the market.
