Huawei will use its own, next-generation Kirin processor in its new foldable tablet, which it will unveil towards the end of 2025. With this step, the company continues to advance both in the foldable device market and with independent technologies on the processor side. While the device’s Kirin chip has not yet been confirmed, sources close to the industry suggest it could launch as the Kirin 9030 5G.

Huawei is coming with a new foldable tablet

Huawei’s history in foldable devices makes this new product even more striking. Having previously broken away from traditional form factors with models like the tri-folding Mate XT and the striking Pura X, Huawei is preparing to take a different approach with its new tablet. Emphasizing that foldable design is not limited to smartphones, the brand points to untapped potential in the market with this product.

The Kirin processor used in the new device stands out as a chip based on Huawei’s own microarchitecture. If, as rumored, the Kirin 9030 5G model is chosen, the company will once again be competing against rivals who have long been unable to offer high-end processors based on its own technology. This reflects Huawei’s efforts to advance its own hardware infrastructure without relying on Western suppliers.

The new model, positioned in the premium segment with a foldable form factor, is considered one of the company’s highest-end products in terms of both performance and design. With this device, Huawei aims to deliver a product in which it has complete control not only over the hardware but also over production, integration, and software compatibility.

The new tablet’s launch date has not been confirmed, but it is expected to be in the last quarter of 2025. Details such as the device’s hardware details, display design, battery capacity, and software version have not yet been released. Huawei is expected to gradually announce these details during the upcoming launch period.
