Huawei is apparently working on a new tablet, and it looks pretty darn similar to an iPad Pro, according to leaked renders posted by 91Mobiles (via Android Central). It show a device that looks like the iPad Pro with a “hole-punch” front-facing camera design. It suggested that it may be MediaPad M6’s successor and will likely be called the MediaPad M7 based on the company’s naming scheme.
Whatever it ends up being called, it looks like the tablet will have thin bezels and will support the company’s M-Pen stylus, as well as its smart magnetic keyboard. When set up with the keyboard, it really does look like the iPad Pro. The renders also show that the tablet will be available in at least two colors black and white and will come with a USB-C port flanked by two speakers. It’s still not clear, however, if the device will have a 3.5mm jack.
The tablet seems to have a magnetic keyboard case like Apple’s Smart Keyboard Folio, but we don’t know if the case will be included in the box. There also appears to be a new stylus which looks to attach to the top of the tablet, possibly via magnets, like the Apple Pencil on the iPad Pro.
91Mobiles says “we can expect” that the tablet will have “flagship-class specifications,” with a Kirin 990 SoC (Huawei’s newest and fastest processor, which also has a built-in 5G modem), up to 8GB RAM, up to 256GB storage, and “a large battery.” Huawei’s previous tablet, the MediaPad M6, launched this past June.
