As the Android tablet market share continues to lose the iPad’s success, Huawei believes there’s still room for a new competitor. According to a new report, Huawei has a new tablet on the way, meant to compete with the Apple iPad Pro and Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+.

The leakster claims that a new Huawei MatePad would arrive with a 12.9-inch OLED screen with 120Hz refresh rate. The tablet’s build is described as having very thin bezels and no punch-hole camera – which leads us to wonder if it will be of the under-display kind.

In addition, the new tablet would run Huawei’s “PadOS” – based on the company’s incoming Harmony OS – the one that’s meant to succeed EMUI 11 - supported by more of Huawei’s in-house services. The Kirin 9000 silicon will expectedly power the device. It’s expected the new MatePad will be announced alongside Huawei’s P50 series.

A couple of months have now passed since Oppo unveiled its A15 budget handset. Enough time for the Chinese giant to already be nearly ready with a sibling for it in the A15s.

The latter device model has been spotted on Malaysia’s SIRIM certification website, as well as Singapore’s IMDA and Europe’s EEC sites, hinting at an imminent global release. Now a leaked banner for the upcoming phone offers a glimpse at its overall design, as well as some of the key specs.

It hardly comes as a surprise that the A15s appears to be outwardly identical to its vanilla A15 sibling. The ad poster specifically mentions a 6.52-inch HD+ display, which matches-up perfectly with the IPS LCD, 720 x 1600-pixel panel on the Oppo A15. Clearly, two very similar devices. The only obvious difference made clear by the poster is the 4GB of RAM and 64GB of expandable storage configuration for the A15s – higher than the 2GB or 3GB of memory and 32GB of storage, offered by the regular A15.

Since that is the case, we can maybe expect an upgrade to a more-powerful chipset, as well. Probably another MediaTek Helio unit, better than the P35. There’s no mention of that in the poster, though. Still, it is a relatively safe assumption to make. So is the likelihood of the A15s borrowing its camera setup directly from the vanilla model, which includes a 13MP primary camera alongside a 2MP macro and 2MP depth modules on the back and a 5MP selfies snapper, housed in a waterdrop notch. The 4,230mAh battery pack is also likely to be carried forward.
While there is no word on pricing or availability of the Oppo A15s yet, we fully expect it to be similarly-priced to the vanilla variant, as well. The latter launched at INR 10,990 ($150) MSRP. As per the poster, Indian buyers will also enjoy 5% cashback, by using one of a few mentioned bank cards.

Harry Styles has just one film under his belt so far – but when that one film is Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk, it tends to open one or two doors. Styles is now joining the cast of Olivia Wilde's next film, Don't Worry, Darling.

Styles will replace Shia LaBeouf, who had to drop out because of a scheduling clash. The movie itself is mostly a mystery, though Shane and Carey Van Dyke wrote a script (since re-written by Booksmart's Katie Silberman) that is described as a psychological thriller set in an isolated, utopian community in the 1950s California desert. A housewife sees her reality begin to crumble, revealing a disturbing truth underneath.

Chris Pine and Florence Pugh remain attached to the film, which will also see the director stepping in front of the camera. She's aiming to start shooting in the next couple of months.
