The new tablet would run Huawei’s “PadOS” – based on the company’s incoming Harmony OS – the one that’s meant to succeed EMUI 11 – supported by more of Huawei’s in-house services.

As for the processor, the device could come powered by the company’s own Kirin 9000 chipset – the same chipset that powers the Huawei Mate 40 lineup.

In addition, Huawei is reportedly in the final stage of testing the liquid lens for flagship phones which is supposed to largely improve image stabilisation and focus times.

China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) approved an important camera module patent related to the Liquid Lens.
