Huawei has announced its new flagship tablet for global markets, the MatePad Pro 13.2, in addition to the Huawei FreeClips earbuds. This tablet did launch in China back in September, just to be clear. This is a truly large tablet, as its display measures 13.2 inches. So the display itself is almost as large as the panels on average laptops these days.
The Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2 is the company’s new flagship tablet
As you can see, in the provided images, the MatePad Pro 13.2 does have a display notch, and very, very thin bezels around the display. These could even be the thinnest bezels on any tablet to date. The tablet has a 94% screen-to-body ratio, which is outstanding.
The Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2 is only 5.5mm thick, and it weighs 580 grams. Needless to say, that’s great for such a gigantic tablet. It also has a 16:10 display aspect ratio. The device comes in Golden Black and Green colors.
Huawei is using the ‘X-True’ display technology here
The company is using the Huawei X-True display tech here. The display is big, bright, sharp, and seemingly color-accurate. It achieves professional color accuracy within the sRGB and P3 color gamut. It has a refresh rate of 144Hz, and a touch sampling rate of 360Hz. This is an OLED display, by the way, and it has a resolution of 1920 x 2880.
We’re not sure what SoC Huawei used here, but we’ll take a wild guess it’s the Kirin 9000s. The tablet comes with 12GB of RAM and either 256GB or 512GB of internal storage.
Two cameras are placed on the back, while advanced facial scanning is also supported
A 13-megapixel main camera (f/1.8 aperture, AF), is backed by an 8-megapixel camera (f/2.2 aperture, fixed focus) on the back. A 16-megapixel selfie camera (f/2.2 aperture), sits next to a dTOF sensor. This tablet does support advanced facial scanning.
A 10,100mAh battery is included in the package, and the Huawei SuperCharge (88W charging) is supported. Yes, the charger is also included in the package. Bluetooth 5.2 is also on board, as is USB 3.1 Gen1.
The Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2 has 6 speakers, and 4 microphones
This tablet has 6 speakers, and 4 microphones. It also supports the Huawei M-Pencil, the third-gen model is available separately. The same goes for a case/keyboard for the device. Both of those accessories magnetize to the Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2. Both are sold separately.
This tablet joins the Huawei MatePad 11.5-inch and Huawei MatePad 11.5-inch PaperMatte Edition devices. Those two devices are mid-range offerings, while the MatePad Pro 13.2 is Huawei’s flagship-grade tablet.
The price tag of the Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2 with 256GB of storage is priced at €999. The 512GB storage options costs €1,199, and it includes the Smart Magnetic Keyboard case. The Smart Magnetic Keyboard on its own costs €199, while the third-gen Huawei M-Pencil is priced at €99.
