The Huawei MatePad Pro 10.8 (2019) 256GB is Huawei Test's 2020 tablet featuring a 10.8 inches, 338.2 cm2 (~86.5% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Kirin 990 (7 nm+) chipset. It comes with a 7250 mAh battery. At AED 1,099 in the UAE and ₹24,999 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Huawei MatePad Pro 10.8 (2019) shines with its 10.8-inch 2560x1600 LCD panel, offering sharp text and vibrant colors, though it lacks a high refresh rate. Powered by the Kirin 990’s octa-core chipset—featuring two 2.86 GHz Cortex-A76 cores—it handles multitasking and media playback smoothly. The M-Pencil stylus delivers low-latency precision, making it a strong choice for note-takers and sketchers. Its 7250 mAh battery lasts through full workdays. But the absence of Google Play Services cripples app access in UAE and India, forcing reliance on Huawei’s AppGallery and manual APK installs. At AED 1099 in UAE, it’s worth it because the screen and stylus performance justify the price despite OS gaps. In India at ₹24999, it’s overpriced—competitors like the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE offer similar screen quality with full Android and Google apps at lower cost. Weight at 460g feels substantial for prolonged use.
