Huawei Rumored to Launch Foldable Tablet with New Kirin Chipset in 2025

Huawei appears to be gearing up for another revolutionary foray into the foldable space this time with a foldable tablet. New leaks on Chinese social media indicate that the tech giant is working on an innovative device fueled by a next-gen Kirin chipset, possibly coming out by the end of this year.

Leak Suggests New Kirin Processor for Huawei Foldable Tablet

As revealed by popular Weibo tipster @SmartPikachu, Huawei is preparing to unveil a foldable tablet alongside its highly anticipated Mate XTs triple-fold smartphone. The tablet will have an all-new Kirin chipset, similar to the upgraded hardware on the Mate XTs. Although the model name of the chip is not confirmed, market rumor suggests the Kirin 9030 5G processor, which might debut together with the Mate 80 series.

If this information holds true, Huawei’s foldable tablet could arrive equipped with top-tier performance, advanced AI capabilities, and 5G connectivity. The inclusion of such a high-end processor would also give Huawei a competitive edge against other foldable devices in the market, particularly in China’s rapidly growing foldable segment.

eSIM and Other Possible Features Under Consideration

This would add more portability and flexibility particularly for a foldable tablet that could serve as both productivity device and entertainment device.

Huawei has already hinted at releasing "extraordinary" products in 2025, and this foldable tablet could be one of them. The history of the company's innovative designs the likes of Pura X foldable phone and MateBook Fold PC indicates that we may get a mix of style, resilience, and premium performance in the new device.

Huawei's Next Tri-Fold Smartphone Arrives Soon

Though the rumoured foldable tablet is getting everyone excited, Huawei seems to be preoccupied at present with releasing the second-generation tri-fold smartphone, the likely-named Mate XTs. Due to arrive next month, the Mate XTs have the potential to come with significant upgrades on their original model, which could include:

• Better camera sensors for superior photography and videography

• Greater strength through stronger hinges and more robust materials

• A new powerful chipset - likely the Kirin 9020

Interestingly, the rumored foldable tablet is also expected to receive a “similar chip treatment,” aligning its performance level with Huawei’s most premium devices.

Competing with Apple’s iPhone 17 Series

The Mate XTs launch may coincide with Apple’s iPhone 17 series, positioning Huawei for a direct face-off in the high-end smartphone segment. Huawei could also leverage new design tweaks and dynamic color options to appeal to style-conscious consumers, while also introducing enhanced display technology for multitasking and entertainment.

What’s Next for Huawei’s Foldable Lineup?

For the time being, information regarding the foldable tablet's display size, battery capacity, camera configuration, and special software capabilities is still a mystery. If Huawei, though, can successfully merge a flagship foldable design with a top-tier Kirin chipset and higher-end connectivity features such as eSIM, the foldable tablet segment could be reborn.

As 2025 approaches, it’s becoming clear that Huawei is doubling down on innovation in the foldable space. Whether it’s the upcoming Mate XTs or the rumored foldable tablet, the company’s next wave of devices could push the boundaries of design, performance, and portability.
