Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2 review

Huawei's latest event brought us the international version of the MatePad Pro 13.2 tablet. It's a large and powerful slate with an OLED screen, the...

Thin and lightweight tablet, even if large.

Launch price not very competitive.

Overall, the Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2 is an excellent tablet, even if flawed. We found it perfect for most use cases, but it is not a universally likable device. We recommend exploring it as an option because Huawei makes these slates very well, but you...

Huawei MatePad Pro Review: In the iPad’s shadow

The Huawei MatePad Pro is sensibly sized, with a great screen and some convenient features like wireless charging, but it can't compete with the iPad on apps.

Colorful 16:10 aspect ratio screen ; Wireless charging is welcome ; Great audio performance ; Good multi-tasking/Desktop software

Limited app availability ; Mediocre camera

Huawei MatePad Pro 12.2 PaperMatte Review: A creative powerhouse with caveats

Huawei has come up with a very interesting Android tablet product with the MatePad Pro 12.2 PaperMatte edition. In a rare occasion in the tablet space, this one packs a matte touchscreen, or what Huawei calls a PaperMatte display. Along with Huawei's...

Original design ; Great speakers ; PaperMatte coating is great for drawing and hand-writing ; Smart keyboard and pencil accessories

No Google services built-in ; Chipset performance is good but not impressive

Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2 review: big, bright screen is this iPad rival's highlight

If outright computing prowess isn't top of your must-haves, the Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2 will look mightily tempting.

OLED screen is big and bright ; 2.8K resolution rivals top tablets ; M-Pencil is great

Flagship price ; Middling graphics power ; Still no Google

The Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2 has a lot going for it. It's a big-screen tablet whose bright, sharp OLED screen makes it a superb note-taking and artworking display. The HarmonyOS counters the well-publicised Google block with familiar UI, as well as...

Huawei MatePad Pro review – do you need Google Play services?

While Huawei is among the top three smartphone and tablet manufacturers in the world for more than a couple of years now, there is one big issue – the US market is pretty much closed for them…

Lacks Google Play services;Throttling performance;Color accuracy is way off;IPS panel, against a world of OLEDs

Huawei MatePad Pro review: Top-tier Android tablet with an app-chilles heel

As a complete hardware package, the MatePad Pro is absolutely worth the £499 asking price. Hardware isn't everything, though, and the reality of the Huawei-US trade ban hobbles what would otherwise be the best affordable Android tablet on the market.

Premium design ; Stellar battery life ; Affordable price ; Useful extras for Huawei users

The app situation ; Flat sounding speakers ; Awkward selfie camera placement ; Hit-and-miss accessories

Huawei's answer to the iPad Pro is here, meet the MatePad Pro 5G | AndroidPIT

Apple's iPad Pro has not really had a proper challenger up until now. We went hands-on with the Huawei MatePad Pro to see if it can compete with the best.

I was pretty impressed during my short time with the Huawei MatePad Pro (5G). In terms of raw power, features, and connectivity, it looks like a real alternative to the Apple iPad Pro and the Samsung Tab S6, especially when you factor in the price....
