Tablet · Huawei Test · 2022
The Huawei MatePad 11 (2021) 128GB is Huawei Test's 2022 tablet featuring a 10.95 inches, 347.7 cm2 (~82.9% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Qualcomm SM8250 Snapdragon 865 (7 nm+) chipset. It comes with a 7250 mAh battery. At AED 899 in the UAE and ₹20,499 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Huawei MatePad 11 (2021) shines with its 10.95-inch 120Hz IPS LCD display and Snapdragon 865 chipset, delivering smooth scrolling and responsive multitasking unmatched in its price bracket. The 2560x1600 resolution and 16:10 aspect ratio make reading and video viewing immersive, while the included M-Pencil 2 stylus offers precise input for note-taking and sketching. It excels for students and professionals who need a large, fluid screen for digital annotation without paying tablet-pro prices. Its weakness is HarmonyOS 3.0’s limited app ecosystem—many popular apps remain unavailable or poorly optimized, especially in India. The 7250mAh battery lasts all day, but the lack of cellular support restricts mobility. In UAE at AED 899, it’s worth it because the screen and performance outclass rivals like the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE. In India at ₹20499, it’s overpriced compared to the Xiaomi Pad 6 or iPad 9, which offer better app access and cellular options.
