Our Verdict

Matepad Pro 12 2 (2024) vs Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra

The Huawei MatePad Pro 12.2 (2024) wins on display with its 12.2-inch Dual-layer OLED at 144Hz and 2000 nits peak brightness versus the Tab S8 Ultra’s 14.6-inch Super AMOLED at 120Hz, making the Samsung screen 2.4 inches larger but the Huawei panel sharper and more vibrant. Artists and media consumers in UAE and India should choose the Huawei for its 4096-level S Pen support, 512GB storage, and superior color accuracy ideal for drawing and HDR video. The Samsung Tab S8 Ultra suits professionals needing 5G, Android 12 upgradable to Android 16, and DeX desktop mode, but its 128GB base storage demands costly microSD or cloud subscriptions. In UAE at AED 2999 vs AED 2899, Huawei wins because of its higher refresh rate and stylus precision; in India at ₹67999 vs ₹76999, Huawei wins on value because it includes 512GB storage and S Pen without extra accessory costs.
