New Huawei tablet with Pad OS (HarmonyOS) may launch with Huawei P50 series in 2021: Tipster
Huawei is planning to launch the HarmonyOS (HongmengOS) mobile beta, allowing developers to prepare applications for the first HarmonyOS mobile app ecosystem. Although HaymonyOS is also in work to launch on an upcoming smartwatch, there’s one more device platform that we may see running HarmonyOS soon.
According to a tipster from Weibo, Huawei is working on a new tablet that could launch alongside the Huawei P50 series in the first quarter of 2021. More interestingly, it could come with pre-installed Honmeng OS (HarmonyOS) dubbed as “Pad OS”.
The tipster also suggested that this tablet will equip with a 12.9-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, narrow bezels without punch-hole, a thin metal body design, and more.
Furthermore, a picture shared by the tipster shows an engineering device with the HarmonyOS logo, similar to the About section of the EMUI software system. However, we cannot confirm whether it’s real or fake.
Meanwhile, the launch date of the Huawei P50 series is yet to be known but it may happen in late March 2021.
Another tipster from Weibo – Digital Chat station, Huawei’s next MatePad Pro device will equip with Kirin 9000 chipset and if Huawei is planning to introduce HarmonyOS in a tablet then it is more likely to be from the MatePad series. While there’s no official information available about the launch of a new tablet or Pad OS at moment.

At Huawei Developers conference 2020, Huawei launched HarmonyOS 2.0 and announced its development as well as the adaptation plan in the Huawei device ecosystem.
The HarmonyOS 2.0 roadmap shows HarmonyOS 2.0 will first support devices including smartwatch and in-car system in 2020. From the second quarter of 2021, it’ll support devices above 128MB RAM such as smartphones and tablets.
In August 2019, Huawei launched its self-developed operating system, HarmonyOS, also known as Hongmeng OS. This new OS is a new microkernel-based, distributed operating system designed to deliver a diverse user experience across all devices and scenarios. Initially, the OS only supported Huawei smart TVs. However, with the growing U.S. pressure, Huawei has increased its speed and preparation to bring the HarmonyOS on more platforms.
At Huawei Developer Conference (HDC) 2020, Huawei announced HarmonyOS 2.0, which supports more platforms compared to its predecessor.
According to the official roadmap, HarmonyOS 2.0 will support devices with up to 128MB RAM, such as smart wearables and other IoT devices. In 2021, It’ll support devices up to 4GB RAM, such as tablets and entry-level smartphones. By the end of 2021, this RAM limit will increase over 4GB and open a way for the support of flagship smartphones.
At an event on June 2, 2021, Huawei officially launched HarmonyOS for smartphone devices announced a roadmap of upgrading almost every possible device that goes way back up to 2016. This upgrade plan is surely something and both Huawei and Honor phones are part of this journey.
