Tablet · Huawei Test · 2022
The Huawei MatePad 11 (2021) 256GB 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 1,049 in the UAE and ₹23,800 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Huawei MatePad 11 (2021) shines with its 10.95-inch 2560x1600 LCD display, offering crisp detail and wide viewing angles, though it lacks a high refresh rate—stuck at 60Hz. Powered by the Kirin 820E octa-core chipset, it handles multitasking and light creative work smoothly, especially with the optional M-Pencil 2 stylus for note-taking and sketching. Its 7250 mAh battery delivers all-day endurance for reading, streaming, or web browsing. The absence of cellular connectivity limits mobility, and HarmonyOS 3.0’s app ecosystem remains constrained outside China, making Google services inaccessible without workarounds. In UAE at AED 1049, it’s worth it because the screen and battery outperform similarly priced Android tablets. In India at ₹23800, it’s overpriced—competitors like the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE offer better software support and 120Hz displays for less. Choose only if you prioritize screen size and stylus precision over app availability.
