From lightweight tablets perfect for note-taking during class or meetings to tablets with stunning graphics for movie-watching or gaming, there is a wide selection for you to choose from.
Similar to their wide range of phones, HUAWEI also has three categories of tablets that cater to different needs — MatePad Pro, MatePad, and the T Series.
1. HUAWEI MatePad Pro 12.6 inch (flagship level)
Equipped with a 12.6-inch OLED screen with 2560×1600 resolution and DCI-P3, as well as eight speakers, this tablet is great for entertainment purposes as it provides vivid tones and details.
It also boasts powerful performance, thanks to its Kirin 9000E processor with 8+256GB big storage. Additionally, it’s compatible with HUAWEI’s M-pencil (2nd Gen) and keyboard, and comes with three cameras — 13MP primary camera, 8MP wide angle camera, and 3D depth sensing lens.
With 40W SuperCharge, the tablet is able to fully charge in just two hours, with a single charge lasting up to 14 hours. It also supports reverse wireless charging of a maximum of 27W. For example, while traveling, you can save time by placing devices such as phones and watches on the back panel of the tablet for wireless charging.
RRP Price:
– Matte Grey with keyboard: RM3,999
– Olive Green with M-pencil and keyboard: RM4,399
2. HUAWEI MatePad 11 (mainstream level)
With a fluid 10.95-inch screen and up to 120hz refresh rate, the HUAWEI MatePad 11 delivers smoother motions and visuals.
Compatible with the M-pencil (2nd Gen) and keyboard, it has a high degree of responsiveness, with latency as low as 2ms on the stylus. This allows the tablet to provide one of the most responsive, consistent, and authentic writing experiences available.
Other features include a Snapdragon 865 processor as well as four speakers and four microphones for surround sound.
RRP Price:
– Matte Grey (6 + 128GB): RM1,999
– Olive Green (6 + 256GB): RM2,399
Here are the HUAWEI Share modes available for multi-screen collaboration between devices:
– Mirror Mode: Your laptop screen can be mirrored on your tablet, displaying the exact same content
– Extend Mode: Use your tablet as an additional screen for your laptop. Instead of opening multiple tabs on one device, now you can easily compare things by opening them simultaneously on two devices.
– Collaborate Mode: You can use your laptop’s keyboard to type on the tablet, or use the mouse to seamlessly drag and drop files between devices. This’ll save you plenty of time in transferring content, compared to other methods like using a USB drive or third-party apps.
3. HUAWEI MatePad 10.4 (mainstream level)
You’ll love this tablet’s 2K 10.4-inch screen and LTE connectivity. Plus, there’s even a WiFi version. What’s more, it’s not only compatible with the M-pencil and keyboard, but also allows for HUAWEI Share with smartphones.
RRP Price:
– LTE version (4 + 64GB): RM1,399
– WiFi version (4 + 128GB): RM1,499
4. HUAWEI MatePad T10S and T10 (entry level)
The 10-inch FHD screen comes with eye protection certified by TUV Rheinland. And if you have little ones, you’ll be happy to know that these tablets come with a kids corner to filter content and manage apps.
RRP Price:
– T10 (2 + 32GB): RM799
– T10S LTE version (2 + 32GB): RM899
