Honor has scheduled a launch event on 12th August where the company will be launching its new flagship smartphone — Honor Magic 3. Along with that, the brand is also expected to announce its new tablet device, dubbed Honor Tablet V7 Pro.

Now, Honor Smart Life account of Weibo has officially confirmed that the upcoming tablet from the brand will come powered by the MediaTek Kompanio 1300T processor which was announced by the company yesterday.

The MediaTek Kompanio 1300T features a flagship architecture similar to the Dimensity 1200 chipset. It is built on TSMC’s 6nm node and utilizes an octa-core processor that consists of four Cortex-A78 cores and four Cortex-A55 cores. It bundles a nano-core Mali-G77 MC9 GPU which is superior to the Mali G57 MC5 utilized by its predecessor.

It is integrated with a sub-6 GHz bands 5G modem which supports dual-SIM and dual-channel carrier aggregation. The company had said that the Kompanio 1300T will be powering tablets launching from the third quarter of this year.

Recently, Honor shared a teaser video for the upcoming tablet which revealed that it will come in a blue leather finish. It also shows a camera module that looks similar to the Honor 50 series. There’s also a SIM card slot on the left side, along with a volume rocker, and a microphone. There’s also an Honor branding at the center of the tablet.

Currently, not much information is available about the upcoming Honor Tablet V7 Pro but given that it is scheduled to get launched in a couple of weeks, we expect to know more about it via teasers and leaks in the coming days.

Taiwanese semiconductor manufacturer MediaTek has announced a new chipset for tablets and ARM-powered laptops dubbed Kompanio 1300T. The chipset takes over from the Kompanio 1200 with model number MT8195 which was unveiled in November last year.

The new chipset features a flagship architecture similar to the Dimensity 1200 smartphone chipset. In this light, it is built on TSMC’s 6nm node and utilizes an octa-core processor. The processor consists of four big Cortex-A78 cores and four small Cortex-A55 cores. The GPU saw the major upgrade as the chipset bundles a nano-core Mali-G77 MC9 GPU which is superior to the Mali G57 MC5 utilized by the Kompanio 1200.

Furthermore, the Kompanio 1300T is integrated with a sub-6 GHz bands 5G modem which supports dual-SIM and dual-channel carrier aggregation. It features support for two 1080p displays which isn’t bad considering that it is a chipset for tablets and laptops and not for dual-screen smartphones. However, for a single display, it supports a resolution of up to 1440p with a 120Hz refresh rate, as well as HDR10+ video playback. Combined with the 5G connectivity which brings a low-latency connection for video gaming, the display is well suited for gaming.

The new chipset also brings support for cameras with a maximum of 108MP sensors and 4K video recording at up to 60 fps. It also integrates an APU that enables features like AI Picture Quality (AI-PQ) and voice commands. The chip also supports Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2.

MediaTek did reveal that the Kompanio 1300T will feature in tablets from the third quarter of this year (July-September). The company didn’t reveal the first tablet that would feature the chipset but a popular tipster Digital Chat Station had earlier confirmed that the Honor V7 Pro that is expected to be launched in mid-August will feature the 1300T.
