Although the Huawei P20 series is a no-show at MWC 2018, Huawei still showed up nonetheless and revealed 2 new products which are the Matebook X Pro and the MediaPad M5, as well as Huawei's 5G customer-premises equipment (CPE). The Matebook X Pro is the world's first Fullview Display notebook while the new 5G CPE is the world's first commercial terminal device supporting the globally recognized 3GPP telecommunication standard for 5G.

First up, the Matebook X Pro features a 13.9-inch Fullview display and has a 91% screen-to-body ratio. Inside the casing, there lies the latest 8th Gen Intel Core i5 / i7 processor, an NVIDIA GeForce MX150 graphics card, 2GB GDDR5 RAM and a long-lasting 57.4Wh (typical capacity) battery, making it one of the lightest and powerful notebooks in the market. A set of Dolby Atmos Sound system speakers is also available and this looks like an ideal notebook for the millennials who are on-the-move.

Meanwhile, the MediaPad M5 is just as compact as the new Huawei notebook. Featuring a 2.5D glass and 2K 8.4 / 10.8-inch display, this tablet uses two or four (depending on the model) stereo Harman Kardon speakers with immersive 3D audio loudspeakers supporting Hi-Res audio. Moreover, the 10.8-inch M5 also has an M-Pen stylus with 4K levels of pressure sensitivity for writing notes, drawing and designing.

As for the 5G CPE, it will be made available for indoor and outdoor configurations, providing downlink speeds of up to 2Gbps using Huawei's Balong 5G01 chipset, which supports all 5G frequency bands including sub-6GHz and millimetre wave (MMW).
