Igeekphone News on September 1st: Huawei MatePad Mini will be officially released on September 4th. Blogger @Ruige Wan Digital has shared the packaging and the actual device in advance today.
First, let’s take a look at the back. It remains consistent with the previously exposed appearance. The HUAWEI logo is placed horizontally, indicating that horizontal use is the main definition of Huawei. The rear camera is in the family-style circular shape.
The front is more eye-catching, featuring a punch-hole screen design. Although the irregular-shaped screen slightly affects the visual experience, the benefits it brings are also obvious – ultra-narrow bezels.
The four sides of the Huawei MatePad Mini are all very narrow. It is expected to break the record for narrow bezels in small foldable phones. In the past, small tablets deliberately made the black borders wider for the gaming experience, which can prevent accidental touches and also provide a better grip experience.
After Huawei made the bezels extremely narrow, the 8.8-inch small tablet can be held in one hand, and it is even relatively easier to make and receive calls.
Huawei has indeed made corresponding designs. It is reported that the entire MatePad Mini series supports card swiping, which means that the positioning of “large-sized phone” mentioned in some of the reports is correct. This product can be used as a super-large-sized phone and is very convenient for going out.
In terms of specific configuration, the MatePad Mini features an 8.8-inch 16:9 screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. It will be available in multiple versions including a regular screen, a soft light screen, and an e-ink screen.
It is equipped with a built-in 6500mAh battery, supports 66W fast charging, is approximately 5mm thick and weighs about 260g.
Equipped with the Kirin 9020 processor and supporting 5G, the starting price is around 4,000 yuan.
