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 versus the 10.1-inch LCD (2.5 inches larger), offering superior contrast and color accuracy, though neither has a high refresh rate. Artists and professionals needing precise input should choose the Huawei, as it supports the M-Pencil stylus with 0.5ms latency for drawing and note-taking, paired with 512GB storage and Kirin 9000 5G performance for multitasking and media editing. The Samsung Tab Active Pro suits field workers or budget-conscious buyers needing rugged durability and LTE connectivity without 5G, despite its weaker Snapdragon 670 chip and no stylus support. In UAE at AED 2199 vs AED 1799, Huawei wins because of its larger OLED screen and stylus support; in India at ₹49999 vs ₹40999, Samsung wins on value because the price gap exceeds the screen and performance advantage, and no extra stylus cost is needed.
