The Chinese tech giant seemingly has a bunch of tablet products to launch this year. After unveiling two flagship-like devices, the company may bring a new PaperMatte Edition to the Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2 tablet later this month or in November.

As noted by tipster @FixedFocus, Huawei could add a PaperMatte model to the MatePad Pro 13.2. The OEM may launch this edition alongside Nova 13 series.

PaperMatte is an effective display solution that significantly reduces the reflection and sunlight interference. It offers better, brighter, and clearer visuals even under sunlight. The overall experience is more convenient than a regular tablet.

The respective display tech also provides paper-like smooth and sleek visuals. Users can easily read books or watch videos for hours with less eye strain.

Further details reveal that this edition will have large storage options. A few netizens sarcastically speculated that the memory version could be 24GB RAM and a 2-3TB option. But an accurate guess seems to be the 16GB + 1TB storage variant.
