Huawei on Monday unveiled the design of its first mini flagship tablet, the MatePad Mini, ahead of its official launch. Marketed with the slogan “Mini tablet, maxi phone,” the device features an 8.8-inch OLED display with a 2,560-by-1,600 resolution, a 144Hz high refresh rate, and eye-friendly soft light technology. Images of the device show an ultra-narrow bezel, full-screen design with an earpiece cutout at the top. The MatePad Mini is powered by the flagship Kirin 9020 chip, paired with a 6,400mAh battery and 5A high-speed network support. It will debut Sept. 4 alongside Huawei’s second-generation tri-fold smartphone, with a starting price of RMB 3,499 (about $490), directly targeting Apple’s iPad Mini market.
