The official details of the device have been kept under wraps but several rumors say that the Matebook is a hybrid Windows device with a detachable keyboard and stylus. There are also some speculations going around that the upcoming device will run both Windows and Android, although, it is said that there's a slim chance that it will have a dual-boot scheme.
Windows Central also reported that leaks indicate a 12.9-inch display and an Intel CPU. But since there are no official details yet, it's recommended to take these reports with a pinch of salt. The company's alleged part laptop, part tablet device is also said to be capable of going up against the Microsoft Surface and the Apple iPad Pro. It's also predicted to be a device designed particularly for business users considering the caption that was tagged to it in the invite teaser.
Aside from the Matebook, Huawei is expected to reveal the other new devices in their line in the MWC 2016, including the Huawei P9 which is rumored to come with 6 GB of RAM.
