The Huawei MatePad 11.5 S 128GB is Huawei Test's 2024 tablet featuring a 11.5 inches, 391.6 cm2 (~84.7% screen-to-body ratio) display. It comes with a 8800 mAh battery. At AED 1,399 in the UAE and ₹31,999 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Huawei MatePad 11.5 S 128GB excels with its 11.5-inch 144Hz TFT LCD display, offering smooth motion and crisp 2800x1840 resolution in a 3:2 aspect ratio—perfect for extended reading, note-taking, and multitasking. Paired with Harmony OS 4.2 and an octa-core chipset, it handles everyday apps and light creative work efficiently, with Huawei M-Pencil support for precise input. Its 8800mAh battery lasts over two days with moderate use, and at 510g, it’s portable without feeling flimsy. The weakness? No cellular option and limited app access due to Harmony OS’s absence of Google services, forcing reliance on Huawei’s ecosystem. In UAE at AED 1399, it’s worth it because the screen and stylus experience outperform similarly priced Android tablets. In India at ₹31999, it’s overpriced—competitors like the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE offer better app support and similar screens for less.
