Huawei’s MatePad Pro tablet will be launching later this month in China, according to a Weibo post by Huawei’s CEO Richard Yu. The picture Yu posted showed simply the word mate while the rest of it was quite a blur however 25 November was decipherable at the top.

News had first broken about such a product is in the works on the 19th of October, when Evan Blass had also tweeted a picture of it. So far, it is known that the tablet will have a punch-hole front camera and the Kirin 990 SoC inside.

Other leaked specs show the device to be sporting a Quad HD+ display at 2560 x 1440 pixels resolution and a magnetic keyboard with a stylus as well. Although, the storage facility for the stylus is still not clear. At the bottom, the tablet will have a USB-C type port with speaker grilles on either side.
