Huawei Philippines is not about to rest just yet. After launching the Huawei Watch Fit and its official online store, the company has announced that it’s introducing new tablets.

(Update, October 4: We have the prices, specs, and preorder promos plus an “initial impressions” article on the Huawei MatePad T 10s.)

In an email alert, Huawei has revealed that the MatePad T series — “an even better tablet” lineup — is coming September 30th. We don’t know just yet if that’s the date of the launch, the availability, or the start of the preorder period, but we will update this story as soon as we get more information.

The manufacturer didn’t say which specific models it’s bringing here as well. Upon checking its local website, however, there’s already a Huawei MatePad T 10 and a Huawei MatePad T 10s listed there. So we’re pretty sure that the said units are the ones teased by Huawei.

So what’s the difference between the two? The biggest distinction lies in the screen. While the MatePad T 10 features a 9.7-inch IPS display with 1,280 x 800 resolution, the MatePad T 10s gets a bigger one at 10.1 inches — and with 1,920 x 1,200 resolution at that.

The T 10s version also boasts a Harman Kardon-engineered sound system, LTE connectivity, 3GB of RAM, 64GB of expandable storage, and faster, 10-watt USB-C charging. The regular T 10, on the other hand, is supported by Huawei Histen 6.1 technology, connects to Wi-Fi, has 2GB of RAM and 32GB of built-in storage — at least based on Huawei Philippines’ website — and support for 5-watt USB-C charging.
