The Huawei MatePad Pro 10.8 (2021) 512GB is Huawei Test's 2022 tablet featuring a 10.8 inches, 338.2 cm2 (~86.5% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Qualcomm SM8250-AC Snapdragon 870 5G (7 nm) chipset. It comes with a 7250 mAh battery. At AED 1,749 in the UAE and ₹39,699 in India, it sits firmly in the mid-range tier.
The Huawei MatePad Pro 10.8 (2021) shines with its 10.8-inch 2560x1600 IPS LCD display at 540 nits brightness and 16:10 aspect ratio, delivering sharp, vibrant visuals ideal for extended reading and video streaming. Powered by the octa-core Snapdragon 865, it handles multitasking and creative apps smoothly, with Huawei M-Pencil 2 support for precise note-taking and sketching. Its 7250mAh battery lasts through full workdays, and the 460g weight remains portable. The weakness? HarmonyOS 2.0 lacks Google Mobile Services, limiting access to popular apps like YouTube, Gmail, and WhatsApp without workarounds. In UAE at AED 1749, it’s worth it because the screen and stylus precision rival premium tablets at higher prices. In India at ₹39699, it’s overpriced — competitors offer similar screens with full Android app access for less, making this a niche pick only for those already embedded in Huawei’s ecosystem.
