With the new MatePad Pro 12.2-inch (2025), HUAWEI is launching a tablet that focuses uncompromisingly on performance, design and user-friendliness. Unveiled in Berlin on May 15, 2025, the device combines a high-quality OLED display with intelligent software integration and innovative accessories – positioning it as the ideal work and creative tool for professional users and technology enthusiasts.

The MatePad Pro 12.2″ is the successor to last year’s model and sets new standards in terms of display quality, versatility and mobility. With a weight of just 508 g and a height of just 5.5 mm, it is one of the lightest devices in its class. It does not skimp on functionality, but delivers an impressive combination of visual experience, intelligent input and practical applications.

  • Tandem OLED display with 2,000 nits peak brightness and anti-glare surface
  • Extremely slim and light: 5.5 mm thin, weighing only 508 g
  • Intelligent accessories: Glide Keyboard and 3rd generation M-Pencil with NearLink technology
  • Productivity and creativity: multitasking, GoPaint app and AI-supported handwriting enhancement

Visual brilliance and ergonomic design to perfection

At the heart of the new MatePad Pro is the Tandem OLED display – a technology that is being used for the first time in a HUAWEI tablet. With a peak brightness of up to 2,000 nits and an HDR contrast ratio of 2,000,000:1, the screen delivers brilliant colors, razor-sharp details and true blacks. The so-called PaperMatte surface with nano-etching reduces reflections to a minimum, making it pleasant to work with and consume content even in direct light.

The case design follows an elegant minimalism: at just 5.5 mm, the tablet is not only one of the thinnest on the market, but also feels particularly comfortable in the hand thanks to the satin finish. The eye-catching star ring camera on the back gives the device an unmistakable look. Despite its compact form, no compromises have been made in terms of performance – the tablet is powerful enough for creative applications, office work and multitasking.

Accessories with a laptop feel and smart integration

One highlight of the new MatePad is the revised accessories. The Glide Keyboard combines a detachable keyboard with an integrated studio mode that sets up the tablet for use in a “floating state” – ideal for video conferences, presentations or productive work on the go. The 3rd generation HUAWEI M-Pencil sets new standards in terms of latency and precision with its NearLink technology. With 16,384 pressure levels, the pen comes amazingly close to the natural feeling of writing on paper and is not only suitable for taking notes, but also for artistic work at a professional level.

The GoPaint app, which was specially developed for the MatePad, is a perfect match: Features such as the 3D oil paint brush, true color brushes and simple animation tools offer creative freedom for beginners and professionals alike. At the same time, the HUAWEI Notes app supports productive work with AI functions, optimized handwriting recognition and a comprehensive Resource Center – perfect for study, work or project work.
