Huawei has unveiled the 10.8-inch MatePad Pro, an iPad Pro-like tablet.

In terms of design, the tablet has many similarities with Apple's 11-inch iPad Pro, although it has even slimmer 4.9mm bezels made possible by an 8-megapixel hole-punch front camera. It's also got a slightly higher-resolution 2,560 x 1,600 display that can output a very bright 540 nits while supporting the DCI-P3 color gamut.

The device weighs about the same as the 11-inch iPad Pro (460 grams), but it's a bit thicker at 7.2mm compared to 5.9mm. Other specs include Huawei's Kirin 990 processor and Android 10-based EMUI 10. It also features a 13-megapixel main camera, a 7,250 mAh battery with 40W wired fast charging (15W wireless charging), quad Harman Kardon speakers, and a 5-microphone array.

With 6GB RAM and 128GB of storage, it'll start at 3,299 yuan (about $470) in a metallic version (no stylus and keyboard), and will cost 4,999 yuan ($710) with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, with the stylus and keyboard included.

It is not clear whether the MatePad Pro will be available outside China.
