Our Verdict

Matepad Pro 12 6 (2021) vs Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra wins on display with its 14.6-inch Super AMOLED, 120Hz panel versus the Huawei MatePad Pro 12.6’s 12.6-inch LCD, 90Hz screen — a 2.0-inch larger, smoother display with superior contrast. The Huawei MatePad Pro 12.6 is best for artists needing precise stylus support with the M-Pencil 2 and 512GB storage for large project files, or media consumers who prioritize screen-to-body ratio and compact portability at 609g. The Samsung Tab S8 Ultra suits professionals needing top-tier performance for multitasking with 8GB RAM and desktop-grade Android 12, plus DeX mode, despite its 726g weight and higher accessory costs for S Pen and keyboard. In UAE at AED 2199 vs AED 2899, Huawei wins because its 512GB storage and stylus support deliver more utility per dirham; in India at ₹49999 vs ₹76999, Huawei wins on value because the S Pen and keyboard cost extra on Samsung, making its total ownership price significantly higher.
