Matepad Pro 10 8 (2021) vs Mediapad M5 10 (Pro)

Huawei MatePad Pro 10.8 (2021) wins on display with its 10.8-inch IPS LCD at 540 nits brightness and 86.5% screen-to-body ratio, outperforming the MediaPad M5’s 76.1% ratio and lower brightness, though both share identical resolution and size. Artists and productivity-focused buyers should choose the MatePad Pro 10.8 for its M-Pencil stylus support and HarmonyOS 2.0 with multi-window and desktop-like app pairing, enabling precise drawing and seamless file transfers across devices. The MediaPad M5 10 (Pro) suits those needing 1TB storage for offline media libraries on a tighter budget, despite its outdated Android 8.0 and no stylus support, making it adequate for media consumption without premium accessories. In UAE at AED 1749 vs AED 1699, the MatePad Pro is better because of its brighter screen and stylus support; in India at ₹39699 vs ₹38599, it loses on value because the 1TB storage and lower price of the M5 outweigh the lack of stylus for non-creative users.
