Huawei's Mysterious 'Dali' Tablet Leaks Online

Tipster Fixed Focus Digital (translated from Chinese) claims in a new Weibo post that Huawei is working on a new tablet codenamed Dali. This model is said to be a smaller version of the Huawei MatePad Pro Max. The upcoming model is said to be based on the existing MatePad Pro Max while adopting a more compact form factor. It is likely to be a premium offering.

The post includes a few old listings showing evidence of the tablet codenamed Dali, indicating that it could feature a portable form factor resembling the iPad Pro. The post hints that it may go official later this year. However, details about the specifications and pricing of this purported model remain unclear.

It remains to be seen what changes the smaller model of the Huawei MatePad Pro Max will bring to the table. The standard Huawei MatePad Pro Max was launched in May this year with a price tag of EUR 1,399 (roughly Rs. 1,57,100) for the 12GB RAM + 256GB storage option.

The Huawei MatePad Pro Max runs on HarmonyOS 4.3 and features a 13.2-inch flexible OLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate. The screen is touted to deliver up to 1,600 nits of peak brightness. It carries 12GB of RAM and up to 512GB of onboard storage.

On the rear, the Huawei MatePad Pro Max has a 50-megapixel rear camera. It features a 12-megapixel front-facing camera. The tablet has six speakers tuned with Huawei Sound. It is compatible with the Huawei M-Pencil Pro stylus and the Huawei Glide Keyboard accessory.

The EU variant of the Huawei MatePad Pro Max features a 9,760mAh battery, while other global markets got the 10,400mAh battery version. The tablet supports 66W fast charging AND wired reverse charging up to 40W.
