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

The Huawei MatePad Pro 10.8 (2021) wins on display with a 10.8-inch screen and 540 nits brightness versus the MediaPad M5’s 10.8-inch screen at lower brightness, offering noticeably better visibility in sunlight, though both share identical resolution and size. Artists and professionals needing precise input should choose the MatePad Pro 10.8 because it supports the M-Pencil stylus, while the M5 lacks stylus compatibility entirely. Buyers prioritizing battery life and lower cost over modern software should pick the MediaPad M5 10 Pro, as its 7500 mAh battery and Kirin 960 chip still handle basic tasks, and its lower price saves AED 350 or ₹7949. In UAE at AED 1749 vs AED 1399, the MatePad Pro is better because of stylus support and brighter screen; in India at ₹39699 vs ₹31750, the MediaPad M5 wins on value because the price gap exceeds the cost of a third-party stylus and the display difference doesn’t justify the premium.
