Huawei has announced its official return in India with a new product launch, as confirmed by one of the largest Indian e-commerce marketplaces.
India’s Flipkart is now showing a teaser image of a new product with the tagline “Handy All-rounder”, followed by “Coming Soon only on Flipkart”.
The teaser image confirms that the new product will be a tablet device. The shape and dimensions are identical to the MatePad 11.5, which is already listed for global customers.
The website has created a dedicated Huawei store page, which shows “Thank you! For visiting this page, Launching Soon!” However, the specific launch date is yet to be confirmed.
This product unveiling will mark the official return of Huawei in India, which has been halted since the U.S. sanctions in 2020. At that time, the company had to abandon global markets due to falling demand and a shortage of component supplies.
However, the past years have brought a positive outlook for the Chinese tech giant, which has regained a strong momentum in the home market. On the face of that success, the phone maker is once again expanding its operations overseas, such as Europe, South America, and the Middle East.
For India, it may adopt a gradual launch strategy, and tablet aligns in the same direction. The price of the tablet is unknown, but it starts at 299 euros for the base variant with 8GB and 128GB memory configuration. The price conversion will be about 31,000 INR, but it may cost even more with taxes. However, we’ll wait for an official announcement.
MatePad 11.5
As for the specs, this tablet is 177.53mm tall, 262.63mm wide, and 6.1mm thin, and the overall weight is 515 grams.
The tablet equips an 11.5-inch TFT LCD (IPS) panel with 2.5K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, 86% screen-to-body ratio, and 16.7 million colors. It offers a 13MP main camera with f/1.8 aperture and an 8MP f/2.0 aperture selfie camera.
The key attraction to this device is its huge 10,100mAh battery, which could be recharged with a 40W super-fast wired charger. It has 2 microphones, 4 speakers, and the audio is optimized with HUAWEI Histen 9.0.
