The Huawei MatePad Pro 10.8 5G (2019) 256GB is Huawei Test's 2021 tablet featuring a 10.8 inches, 338.2 cm2 (~86.5% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Kirin 990 5G (7 nm+) chipset. It comes with a 7250 mAh battery. At AED 1,299 in the UAE and ₹29,499 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Huawei MatePad Pro 10.8 5G (2019) delivers a stunning 10.8-inch 2560x1600 LCD panel with 90Hz refresh rate and vibrant color accuracy, making it exceptional for scrolling, video playback, and stylus work with the included M-Pencil. Powered by the Kirin 990 5G chipset, it handles multitasking and media-heavy tasks smoothly, though it runs Android 10 with EMUI 10 and no Google Play Services — a critical flaw for apps reliant on Gmail, YouTube, or Maps. The 7250 mAh battery lasts all day under moderate use, but the 460g weight feels bulky for prolonged one-handed use. Stylus support is precise but requires the proprietary M-Pencil, sold separately in some markets. In UAE at AED 1299, it’s worth it because the screen and 5G performance outclass many rivals at this price. In India at ₹29499, it’s overpriced — local alternatives like the Samsung Tab S7 FE offer Google services and similar screens for less.
