Huawei‘s latest flagship tablet’s next stop has been revealed. After being launched globally earlier this month, the Huawei MatePad Pro 12.6 premium slate is expected to make its debut in the Philippines June 25.

(Update, June 25: The Huawei Matepad Pro 12.6 is in the Philippines! See price, promos, and freebies here.)

You can view the livestream on the company’s official Facebook page and YouTube channel. Following the release of the Huawei Vision S Series TV, the MatePad Pro 12.6 will be the second device in the country that ships with Huawei’s proprietary HarmonyOS 2.0 out of the box.

The 5G model of the tablet is powered by a 5nm HiSilicon Kirin 9000 5G chipset, the same SoC inside the Huawei Mate 40 Pro. The Wi-Fi-only variant, on the other hand, makes use of a Kirin 9000E 5G chip with fewer GPU cores compared to the standard Kirin 9000 5G. The new MatePad comes with 8GB RAM and 128GB or 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage.

Another key selling point is the OLED screen. As its name implies, the Huawei MatePad Pro 12.6 features a laptop-sized 12.6-inch display. It has a resolution of 2,560 x 1,600 with a 16:10 aspect ratio. The screen operates at 60Hz, not 90Hz or higher, which would have been better for gaming. For entertainment and web browsing, though, that huge OLED display is a win.

The battery life should be great, too, with the Huawei MatePad Pro 12.6 carrying a 10,050mAh cell. It supports fast wired charging up to 40 watts and quick wireless charging up to 27 watts as well.

For taking pictures, the tablet has a triple-camera system at the back with a 13-megapixel main camera, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide option, and a 3D time-of-flight sensor for AR applications. The front-facing camera is 8 megapixels.
