The Huawei MatePad Pro 12.6 (2021) 1TB is Huawei Test's 2022 tablet featuring a 12.6 inches, 460.3 cm2 (~87.0% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Kirin 9000E 5G (5 nm) - Wi-Fi modelKirin 9000 5G (5 nm) - 5G model chipset. It comes with a 50 mAh battery. At AED 2,599 in the UAE and ₹58,999 in India, it sits firmly in the mid-range tier.
The Huawei MatePad Pro 12.6 (2021) shines with its 12.6-inch OLED display at 2560x1600, offering deep blacks and vivid colors, though it lacks a 120Hz refresh rate. Powered by the Kirin 990 5G chipset, it handles multitasking and creative apps smoothly, with Huawei M-Pencil 2 support for precise drawing and note-taking. Its 1TB storage suits professionals storing large media libraries or offline work. The 609g weight feels substantial, and the 5000mAh battery underperforms under heavy use—expect only 6–7 hours of continuous OLED brightness. HarmonyOS 2.0 limits app availability compared to Android or iPadOS, especially for global services. In UAE at AED 2599, it’s worth it because the screen and storage justify the price for creatives needing a premium display without Apple’s ecosystem. In India at ₹58999, it’s overpriced—similar Android tablets offer better app access and refresh rates for less.
