Furthermore, popular Weibo leakster, @DCS revealed that Huawei MatePad 11 is now in production. According to him, this device comes with a 2K high-refresh-rate LCD screen. However, the refresh rate of the display has only two options, 60Hz, and 120Hz. Out of all the recent tablets from Huawei, it appears that the Huawei MatePad 11 will be the cheapest. It has a starting price below $500 and that makes it quite cheap for a Huawei tablet. The Huawei MatePad Pro 12.6 and Huawei MatePad Pro 10.8 have a higher starting price.
