Earlier in this month, an Indian publication had carried several renders of the upcoming Huawei MediaPad M7 tablet. It will be debuting as the first tablet with punch-hole display. Later, reputed tipster Evan Blass took to Twitter to claim that the device is called MatePad Pro. Probably, some markets may receive the same device with differing names. Today, Blass has shared a new render of the MediaPad M7 to reveal the design of the punch-hole display tablet.

The image reveals that the Huawei MediaPad M7 (MatePad Pro) will be boasting a high screen-to-body ratio as it features slim bezels around the display and a punch-hole for the front camera. The tablet is being internally referred as ‘Marx’ and as it can be seen in the image, it will carry support for magic keyboard and Huawei’s M-Pen stylus.

Shown below are the exclusive renders that were leaked by 91mobiles earlier this month. The MediaPad M6 10.8 edition that had gone official in June this year featured a front-mounted fingerprint scanner that was embedded under its capacitive home button. Thanks to the slim bezels, the MediaPad M7 does not seem to feature a home button enabled fingerpint reader. There is a possibility that it could be equipped with an in-display fingerprint sensor.

The rear side of the MatePad Pro is fitted with a protruding vertical camera setup that houses an LED flash and two camera sensors. A USB-C port seems to be present between two speaker grilles on the bottom edge of the device.

Even though multiple images of the MatePad Pro have surfaced, none of them confirm whether it features a 3.5mm audio jack. Also, there is no confirmation on whether the M-Pen stylus can be attached to the edge of the device or it can be stored in a silo on its body. Since it carries support for optional magnetic keyboard, it could be equipped with necessary connectivity points. Black and White are the two color variants of the device.

There is no information available on the specifications of the MediaPad M7. Considering that it could be a flagship model, it may feature Kirin 990 chipset, 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of native storage. It could also be equipped with a large-sized battery. There is no word on the launch date and pricing of the tablet.

Huawei’s pace of launching new devices in spite of the U.S ban seems unaffected. Earlier today, it had teased the Huawei Nova 5Z mid-range smartphone and now, renders of an upcoming high-end tablet from the company have surfaced online. The device is alleged to be the MediaPad M7, the successor of the huawei MediaPad M6 which was launched earlier this year.

Right off the bat, the design of the Huawei MediaPad M7 looks heavily inspired by the Apple iPad Pro. The upcoming Huawei tablet features a large screen display on the front which is surrounded by thin bezels on all four sides. Its body/shell seems to be made out of aluminium which will provide for a sturdy in-hand feel. The rear of the device houses the company branding and a capsule-shaped camera module which protrudes slightly from the surface.

The leak has also revealed two accessories for the tablet which includes a detachable physical keyboard and a stylus which rests on its top when not in use, that is assumed to charge it’s the built-in battery. Like the MediaPad M7 draws inspiration from the iPad Pro, its accessories also look highly reminiscent to those of the iPad.

While the MediaPad M7 has dual bottom-firing speakers and USB C port, Huawei seems to have done away with the 3.5 mm headphone jack. Even though the source has not revealed any specs of the upcoming tablet, it is presumed to have top of the line features.

Accordingly, the MediaPad M7 could be kitted with the HiSilicon Kirin 990 SoC and 8 GB of RAM or higher. All in all, it looks like a worthy flagship-grade tablet which along with Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S6 can lead the bandwagon of Android tablets against Apple’s iPads that have a significant market share.

Even though its launch date has not been revealed yet, it could be unveiled alongside the Nova 5Z which will launch on 21st of October.
