The Huawei MatePad Pro 10.8 5G (2019) 512GB 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 1,499 in the UAE and ₹33,999 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Huawei MatePad Pro 10.8 5G (2019) shines with its 10.8-inch 2560x1600 IPS LCD display at 540 nits brightness and 16:10 aspect ratio, delivering sharp, vibrant visuals perfect for extended reading and video streaming. Powered by the Kirin 990 5G’s octa-core chipset, it handles multitasking and media playback smoothly. Stylus support via the M-Pencil adds precision for note-taking and sketching. Its 7250mAh battery lasts all day under moderate use. The major weakness is the absence of Google Play Services, forcing reliance on Huawei’s AppGallery and manual APK installs — a barrier for apps like WhatsApp, YouTube, or banking tools. In UAE at AED 1499, it’s worth it because the screen and 5G connectivity justify the price despite the OS gap. In India at ₹33999, it’s overpriced; competing tablets with Android 12 and Google services offer better software experience at similar cost.
