Huawei MatePad Edge tipped to support Windows apps and DirectX as full specs leak

Huawei has officially showcased the MatePad Edge, a new category product from the company. With a form factor of a tablet and PC capabilities, it has sort of positioned itself against the Microsoft Surface tablets. Now, a leak suggests that it can run Windows apps and has support for DirectX 11 as well.

This new leak comes from a Weibo leaker with the user name 看山叔, who is known for actively sharing early details of Huawei products. Per the leak, the convertible will have support for Windows applications alongside HarmonyOS PC and mobile apps.

Of course, the Windows apps are less likely to run natively on the tablet PC, and the same applies to DirectX 11 support. With this leak, more possible specs of the Huawei MatePad Edge have emerged. As we recently covered, Digital Chat Station, a reliable leaker, already shared that the device will feature up to 2 TB of storage and 32 GB of RAM.

The leaker has also shared that the convertible tablet will be powered by the Kirin 9030 SoC, which is said to be quite capable in CPU-bound tasks. As for newly emerged details, the leak shares that the MatePad Edge will sport a 14.2-inch display with a 120 Hz refresh rate and 94% screen-to-body ratio.

In addition, the leaker shares that the MatePad Edge will come with a 32 MP front camera and a dual camera on the back with a 50 MP primary sensor. Its internals will reportedly be powered by a 12,800 mAh battery with support for 140 W fast charging (Anker 200 W Desktop Charger curr. $49.99 on Amazon).

Other highlights from the new leak included a 6-speaker setup, support for stylus pens, and an advanced cooling setup. The launch of the Huawei MatePad Edge is set for November 25, 2025, in China.
