Tablet · Huawei Test · 2023
The Huawei MatePad 11.5 256GB is Huawei Test's 2023 tablet featuring a 11.5 inches, 391.0 cm2 (~84.8% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Qualcomm SM7450-AB Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 (4 nm) chipset. It comes with a 7700 mAh battery. At AED 1,049 in the UAE and ₹23,999 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Huawei MatePad 11.5 excels with its 11.5-inch 120Hz TFT LCD display, offering smooth motion and a crisp 1440x2200 3:2 panel that’s rare at this price, ideal for reading, note-taking, and media with minimal eye strain. Powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 and HarmonyOS 3.1, it handles multitasking and light creative work competently, with Huawei M-Pencil support for precise input. Its 7700mAh battery delivers all-day endurance, and at 499g, it’s portable without feeling flimsy. The weakness? No cellular connectivity and limited app access due to HarmonyOS’s absence of Google services, hindering streaming and cloud workflows in regions reliant on them. In UAE at AED 1049, it’s worth it because the screen and stylus experience outperform rivals in this range. In India at ₹23999, it’s overpriced — competing tablets offer similar screens with full Android app ecosystems for less.
