Tablet · Huawei Test · 2024
The Huawei MatePad 11.5 S 256GB 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 1,599 in the UAE and ₹36,499 in India, it sits firmly in the mid-range tier.
The Huawei MatePad 11.5 S excels with its 11.5-inch 144Hz TFT LCD display, offering buttery smooth scrolling and sharp 2800x1840 clarity in a 3:2 aspect ratio perfect for reading and multitasking. Paired with Harmony OS 4.2 and an octa-core chipset, it handles daily tasks and light creative work smoothly with Huawei M-Pencil support for precise note-taking. Its 8800mAh battery delivers all-day endurance without cellular drain. The 510g weight feels substantial but not cumbersome. Its weakness is the lack of cellular connectivity and limited app ecosystem due to Harmony OS’s absence of Google services, hindering streaming and productivity workflows reliant on Android apps. In UAE at AED 1599, it’s worth it because the screen and stylus experience outperform similarly priced tablets. In India at ₹36499, it’s overpriced—competitors offer comparable displays with full Android access at lower cost.
