Huawei has applied an application with INDECOPI on July 6, 2020 in Peru for a new trademark named MateStation that could be used for mobile docking accessories. Recently, Huawei has registered a number of brands like “Mate V” and “Ark Compiler”.

The Huawei MateStation may be compatible with the upcoming Mate 40 series and even flagship products like the rumored Mate V, as the Mate 40 series launch is near. The patent application was first reported by Dutch media LetsGoDigital.

The Huawei Mate 20 series has already had an EMUI computer mode, and with the MateStation, users may also be able to connect a mouse and keyboard, as well as a USB stick or other media for transferring data. The MateStation may become the next step.

It remains to be seen, of course, whether the Huawei MateStation will be delivered with the Mate 40 series.
