After a tri-fold phone and folding laptop, Huawei sets its sights on a foldable tablet next

If you thought Huawei was done with bending the rules of form factors, think again. The brand that’s already delivered a tri-fold phone, a folding laptop, and flip models isn’t stopping there. Word on the street is that Huawei’s next innovation could be a foldable tablet – yes, a Huawei MatePad that folds.

The rumour mill is buzzing thanks to a new leak from reliable tipster DigitalChatStation. According to the whisper network, Huawei’s foldable game is far from over. In fact, it’s about to get even more ambitious. This supposed folding tablet is expected to debut by the end of the year, expanding Huawei’s ever-growing lineup of shapeshifting devices.

Huawei’s next folding device could be a tablet

Huawei’s journey into the world of folding tech has been nothing short of audacious. The company isn’t just slapping hinges on devices and calling it a day. We’ve seen it push boundaries with the Pura X flip phone, the book-style Mate X6, the dramatic tri-fold Mate XT, and the sophisticated MateBook Fold Ultimate Design PC.

Each product doesn’t just fold, it attempts to adapt to users’ needs. They come loaded with a slew of cutting-edge AI features, upgraded photo tools, and the latest versions of HarmonyOS to tie everything together.

So, what do we know about this rumored foldable tablet? Not much, yet. The tipster’s post teases a new addition to the foldable family but keeps the juicy details under wraps. Speculations suggest a 16:10 aspect ratio display that could prioritise portability and a compact form factor over sheer size. Think something more like a digital notebook you can actually fold and slide into a small bag.

And there’s chatter about it incorporating a cover display for quick interactions, because why open the whole thing just to check a message or glance at the time? Expect refinements to the design and performance under the hood as well.

Now, sure, Huawei’s devices might not be mainstream in every market, and they’re likely not going to make their way to Indian shores. But they’re innovating, undeniably so, always giving tech enthusiasts something to get excited about. For more exciting tech launches and leaks like this one, stay tuned to Unboxed by Croma.
