Expected Launch Date
According to a Chinese tipster on Weibo, Huawei is planning to host a launch event on or around May 17 to unveil the new products. However, there is no official confirmation from the company regarding the exact launch date. Hence, it’s best to take this information with a grain of salt.
MatePad Air
The MatePad Air is rumored to be a lightweight tablet with model numbers DBY2-AL00, DBY2Z-AL00, and DBY2-W00 spotted on a certification website by Huawei Central. The tablet is expected to be available in both Wi-Fi and LTE variants, with an 8200mAh battery capacity.

MateBook E 2023 and MateBook 2023
The MateBook E 2023 is likely to be the successor to the two-in-one laptop device of the same name launched in 2021. It is said to have a portable design and 12.6-inch display, with Intel’s 11th Generation Core i7 processor and Intel Iris X graphics.
The tipster has also mentioned the MateBook 2023, but there isn’t much information available about it at the moment.
Final Thoughts
While the rumored lineup of Huawei devices sounds promising, it’s important to note that the company has been facing various challenges, including a trade ban and a lack of access to Google apps and services. Nonetheless, Huawei has been striving to innovate and produce high-quality products that cater to its loyal customers. Only time will tell if the upcoming event will bring any significant changes to the company’s current situation in the global market.
