Our Verdict

Matepad Pro 12 6 (2021) vs Galaxy Tab Active Pro

Huawei MatePad Pro 12.6 (2021) wins on display with its 12.6-inch OLED panel and 120Hz refresh rate versus the Tab Active Pro’s 10.1-inch LCD at 90Hz, making the screen 2.5 inches larger and significantly sharper for media and drawing. Artists and professionals needing precise input should choose the Huawei, as it supports the M-Pencil stylus with 0.2ms latency and pressure sensitivity, while its Kirin 9000E and 512GB storage handle multitasking and large files effortlessly. The Samsung Galaxy Tab Active Pro suits field workers or rugged environments due to its IP68 rating, removable battery, and durable build, though its older Snapdragon 835 and Android 9 limit software longevity. In UAE at AED 2199 vs AED 2099, the Huawei wins because of its superior OLED display and stylus support; in India at ₹49999 vs ₹46999, the Samsung loses on value because its outdated chip and lack of stylus support don’t justify the 6.6% price gap despite more storage.
