HMD Slate Tab 5G teased with 10.6-inch 2K 90Hz display

Reported by Debasish on Oct 6, 2026, HMD has been linked to a new Slate Tab 5G, a 10.6-inch tablet shown in recent renders and leaked specifications that emphasize a sharp 2K screen and broad connectivity. The device pairs a 10.6-inch IPS LCD at 2000 × 1200 with a 90Hz refresh rate and Gorilla Glass 3 protection, and it carries both front and rear cameras for everyday use.

The Slate Tab 5G is described with a 10.6-inch 2K 90Hz display, a Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset, 8GB of RAM, 128GB of UFS 2.2 storage, and a large 9,250mAh battery with 30W wired charging.

Design, display, and expansion

Leaked renders show a tablet borrowing visual cues from the Nokia Lumia 2520, appearing in blue and orange, with a single rear camera and a visible HMD logo. A row of expansion contacts along the bottom edge, commonly known as POGO pins, suggests support for keyboards or other accessories and gives the Slate Tab 5G a Surface-style 2-in-1 feel rather than presenting it as a pure entertainment slate.

The reported display is an IPS LCD with a 2000 × 1200 resolution, described as 2K, and a 90Hz refresh rate. The panel is said to be covered by Gorilla Glass 3. Camera hardware listed in the leak includes an 8MP front-facing camera intended for video calls and a 13MP rear sensor.

Performance, battery, and connectivity

According to the leak, the Slate Tab 5G runs on a Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 processor paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.2 storage. Power is supplied by a 9,250mAh battery with 30W wired charging; the report says that should deliver solid endurance for everyday work or study sessions. Connectivity appears comprehensive for the class, with 5G, Bluetooth 5.2, Wi-Fi 6E, and NFC. Practical extras in the leaks include the POGO accessory pins and a 3.5mm headphone jack for wired audio.

The report adds that the tablet has reportedly been in development for about two years and could debut alongside other HMD devices, possibly including a Skyline 2 phone. Pricing and official confirmation are not yet available. If the details hold up, the Slate Tab 5G could be positioned as a versatile option that balances portability, connectivity, and expandability without entering premium pricing territory.
