Design
The tablet I received boasts the captivating Green hue, featuring the same colour as the HUAWEI Mate 60 Pro. The micro-sand texture further fortifies its durability, creating a truly robust tablet. With a Mohs rating of 2H-3H, it's resistant to fingerprints.
Remarkably lightweight at 580g and incredibly thin at 5.5mm, it stands out as one of the slimmest tablets available. As you can see from the comparison below, it is as slim as approximately two Malaysian fifty-cent coins—truly captivating as you can hold the tablet with just 3 little fingers at ease.
On the front, you'll notice a discreet notch that gracefully accommodates a powerful 16MP front-facing camera, ensuring stunning selfies and crisp video calls. Turning the tablet over reveals an elegantly designed circular camera island, a focal point that houses a 13MP main camera for capturing detailed and vibrant shots. Complementing this is an 8MP ultrawide sensor camera, expanding your photographic possibilities to capture wide-angle scenes with clarity and precision. Whether you're immersed in video chats or capturing the beauty around you, this tablet's camera setup is poised to deliver a delightful visual experience.
Display
True to its name, this tablet boasts a generous 13.2-inch OLED display, sporting a resolution of 1920 x 2880px and an impressive 144Hz refresh rate. With a remarkable 94% screen-to-body ratio, it flaunts one of the slimmest borders in the tablet industry. The panel adopts a 3:2 aspect ratio, providing more vertical space for text content compared to the more conventional 16:10 ratio tablets on the market. Sunlight won't be a concern, thanks to its peak brightness of up to 1,000 nits.
Watching videos on this tablet is a visual treat, thanks to its accurate color reproduction featuring sRGB and P3 color gamuts. The screen's high contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1, coupled with HUAWEI X-TrueTM Display technology, significantly enhances the distinction between light and dark areas. This results in an immersive video viewing experience that truly sets it apart.
Performance
Packed with cutting-edge technology, this tablet shares its powerhouse processor with the esteemed Huawei Mate 60 Pro, featuring the formidable Kirin 9000s chipset. With a robust 12GB of RAM, it ensures smooth multitasking and efficient performance for a seamless user experience
Choose between ample storage options of either 256GB or 512GB, allowing you to tailor your device to your specific needs. Whether you opt for the extensive storage capacity or the optimal balance between speed and responsiveness, this tablet stands ready to meet the demands of your digital lifestyle with its formidable processing capabilities and versatile storage options.
HUAWEI Smart Magnetic Keyboard
The recently introduced HUAWEI Smart Magnetic keyboard, designed to be detachable, boasts an enhanced key travel of 1.5mm, ensuring a comfortable typing experience even during prolonged usage. Seamlessly transitioning between versatile modes—Laptop Form and Split Form—it adapts effortlessly to diverse scenarios, catering to your needs, whether it's office work, entertainment, or creative endeavors.
Laptop Form
This form enables you to work like a traditional laptop, and it is convenient to use for typical office tasks such as editing long documents, taking notes, and creating spreadsheets.
Split Form
This form can be helpful if there is little space available, such as when you are on an airplane. You can place the screen on the chair's mini tray and the keyboard on your lap.
TouchPad
Measuring at 120mm*72mm, the touchpad presents a substantial increase in the pressable area and surpasses the dimensions of typical thin and light touchpads. Moreover, the cursor responsiveness has been finely tuned to minimize latency, ensuring users experience minimal delay, if any, during operation.
M-pencil
Incorporating NearLink Technology, the third-generation HUAWEI M-Pencil enhances the writing experience by reducing latency to 0, ensuring precise lines, and adapting to varying pressures. Whether you're jotting down notes or engaging in digital artistry, the M-Pencil takes pressure sensitivity to the next level, boasting over 10,000 levels for the utmost precision in digital drawing on a tablet.
What sets it apart is its ability to seamlessly write on traditional paper, producing the same exceptional outcomes. And if you're wondering what's better than one piece of paper, imagine the M-Pencil effortlessly replicating its effects on 20 sheets, as demonstrated in the video below.
Features - PC Level WPS Office
The HUAWEI MatePad Pro 13.2" goes beyond the standard by providing seamless support for the PC-version layout of WPS Office5. This functionality not only facilitates efficient document and presentation editing but also enhances the overall user experience with an intuitive window interface and a more extensive array of functions.
With this advanced compatibility, users can expect a smoother and more versatile productivity experience, bridging the gap between tablet and PC functionalities.
Audio HUAWEI Sound Technologies
HUAWEI SOUND has innovative acoustics and computational audio and scientific tuning to bring an immersive audio experience. HUAWEI upgraded its sound field expansion algorithm, utilising differences in sound distance and time for an immersive stereo field. I have listened to it and it truly gives me an immersive sound for my movie and gaming experience. Making it needless for me to have an external speaker in.
Battery
The tablet boasts a 2S series battery, providing extended hours of portable use. It supports 88W wired HUAWEI SuperCharge, reaching an impressive 85% charge in just 40 minutes. I tested it by playing games at high settings for a considerable time, and it remained cool thanks to its built-in heat dissipation. This feature introduces high-strength stainless steel stamped VC, ensuring efficient thermal release and maintaining a cool temperature even during demanding tasks.
Verdict
Overall, I think the HUAWEI MatePad Pro is a really great tablet, especially for people who draw or take notes a lot. The pen feels really smooth and has a lot of functions. The keyboard also feels good and is convenient to bring around. I would say this tablet is ideal for office workers or designers who move around a lot.
The HUAWEI MatePad Pro is releasing in Malaysia and the tablet comes with pre-order gift worth up to RM3,145!
