Matepad Pro 12 6 (2021) vs Mediapad M5 10 (Pro)

Huawei MatePad Pro 12.6 (2021) wins on display with a 12.6-inch OLED screen versus the MediaPad M5’s 10.8-inch LCD, a 1.8-inch larger panel with higher pixel density (240 ppi vs 280 ppi) and no refresh rate specified for either, but the Pro’s larger screen dominates media and multitasking. Artists and professionals needing precise input should choose the MatePad Pro 12.6—it supports the M-Pencil stylus with 4096 pressure levels, while the M5 lacks stylus compatibility entirely. The MediaPad M5 10 (Pro) suits budget buyers needing 1TB storage for offline media or documents, with lighter weight (498g) and lower price, though its Android 8.0 and older chipset limit app updates and performance. In UAE at AED 2199 vs AED 1699, the MatePad Pro is better because of its larger OLED display and stylus support; in India at ₹49999 vs ₹38599, the MediaPad wins on value because the 1TB storage offsets its weaker performance and lack of stylus, making it a practical choice for media-heavy users who don’t need precision input.
