Teclast has revealed that its first 5G tablet will be unveiled soon. The brand disclosed recently (via IThome) that the tablet will be called T40 5G and is already in the prototype stage with the release expected as soon as it passes the functional tests.

Perhaps, the most interesting part of the announcement is the disclosure that the T40 5G will be powered by the UNISOC Tiger T7520 chip. The Tiger T7520 processor is a 5G chipset and the first to be built using a 6nm EUV process. The 6nm process has an increased transistor density of 18% compared to the 7nm process. It also brings a reduction in the power consumption by 8% over its predecessor. The T7520 chipset was first announced in February last year with the release set for early 2021. Thus, the Teclast T40 may be the first device to utilize the chipset.

Teclast didn’t release further details of the T40 5G but the brand launched a 4G version of the T40 towards the end of last month. The Teclast T40 4G is powered by a UNISOC Tiger T618 processor. The tablet features a 10.4-inch fullscreen display with a 2K resolution. The tablet also comes with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of flash memory. Keeping the lights on is a massive 8000mAh battery. The T40 4G equally features four stereo speakers and a gyroscope. We expected the 5G version to retain most of these configurations including the display size. The major difference will be the 5G chipset and perhaps more RAM and storage options.

Teclast is yet to release the launch itinerary for the T40 5G. We’ll keep you updated when more details emerge.

It is a known fact that Qualcomm and MediaTek are the leading mobile chip companies in the world. Apart from HUAWEI HiSilicon, Apple, and Samsung, there’s also another player called UNISOC. This company’s chipsets are mostly found in entry-level smartphones sold in developing countries.

But earlier this year in February, the Chinese chipmaker UNISOC (formerly Spreadtrum) announced Tiger T7520 as the world’s first 6nm EUV 5G SoC for smartphones. Later in June, news broke out this chipset will enter mass-production in 2020 itself, and handsets powered by it will release in early 2021.

Now, months later, Zhou Chen, the Executive Vice President of UNISOC revealed in an interview (via Sina Tech) that smartphones featuring Tiger T7520 chipset will be mass-produced next year. But he did not say when and hence, we are not sure if these devices will release in the first half or second half of 2021.

Having said that, we can expect Hisense to be the first brand to use this chip. That’s because it was the first company to launch a smartphone called F50 5G with UNISOC Tiger T7510, the chipmaker’s first 5G mobile SoC.

Anyway, to know the complete specs and features of UNISOC Tiger T7520, do read our announcement coverage from nearly seven months ago.
