Yeah funny! ## [](#misplaced-competition)Misplaced competition Instead of comparing the product to other rival tablets they are going after the Nintendo Switch. The tablet in question is the newly announced 7.2 inch Mate 20 X tablet which comes with its own detachable controllers to better enable people to play video games on it. **Specs** SoC: HiSilicon Kirin 980Octa-core (4x Cortex-A77 @ 2,8 GHz & 4x Cortex-A55 @ 1,8 GHz)GPU ARM Mali-G76 1080p or 1440p screen 5000 mAh battery 4 or 6 GB 128 GB internal storage 7.2 inch AMOLED display While specs are nice and al we find this a useless discussion because you are comparing apples with oranges. A dedicated gaming system, which boasts the support and library to call it that and a powerful tablet with none of that. Don’t get fooled it will never be in talks with the major players of gaming .. or do you all think otherwise?
