Huawei is rolling out HarmonyOS 7.0.0.107 for the MatePad Mini in China, with an update aimed squarely at a familiar compact-tablet problem: heat during long plugged-in gaming sessions. Its new Direct Power Supply option can send power from the charger directly to the device once the battery has reached the required level, reducing the battery’s involvement under heavy load.
The feature is accessed through Game Tools and applies only to the current charging session. It switches off automatically when the charging cable is disconnected. The reported 7.0.0.107 SP8 package weighs 1.28 GB and is being distributed in stages.
More useful tools for notes and multitasking
The release also expands Huawei Notes with layer management, allowing the original document, annotations, sketches, and responses to remain separate. That could be useful for students marking up course material or professionals reviewing shared documents without permanently altering the source file.
Other changes cover the presentation of Settings and Control Center, themes, Calendar, visual effects, and the transition between portrait and landscape orientations. Huawei also fixed an issue that could cause Quick Access Bar icons to appear unexpectedly on the home screen.
A compact OLED tablet with a gaming-friendly feature set
The MatePad Mini is positioned as a premium compact tablet, combining an 8.8-inch 120Hz OLED display with a slim, lightweight chassis and support for Huawei’s M-Pencil Pro. Its core hardware and configuration can vary by market, including the processor platform.
- Display: 8.8-inch flexible OLED panel with 2560 × 1600 resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and up to 1,800 nits of brightness.
- Processor: Kirin 9010B on certain international versions.
- Memory and storage: 8GB or 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage on globally listed configurations.
- Rear cameras: 50MP main camera and 8MP ultrawide/macro camera.
- Front camera: 32MP camera.
- Battery and charging: 6,400mAh battery with 66W Huawei SuperCharge support.
- Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.2, USB-C, and GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, and QZSS positioning support.
- Dimensions and weight: 198.59 × 127.27 × 5.1 mm and about 255 grams; the PaperMatte edition is about 260 grams and 5.2 mm thick.
- Accessory support: Huawei M-Pencil Pro.
The HarmonyOS 7 rollout should not yet be treated as confirmation of a simultaneous update outside China. Huawei’s global MatePad Mini pages still list HarmonyOS 4.3 in some regions, and U.S. pricing, availability, and the timing of any U.S. software release have not been confirmed. For existing owners, Direct Power Supply is the most consequential addition, particularly for extended plugged-in play or other sustained performance tasks.
