Huawei MatePad Pro 12.6 (2021) review: a beauty with one big problem

The Huawei Matepad Pro 12.6 (2021) is a great tablet if you don't mind not having access to the Google Play Store

Large, bright, clear display ; Loads of useful productivity features ; Long battery life

60Hz refresh rate ; No access to Google apps

The Huawei MatePad Pro 12.6 (2021) truly is a marvel. Anyone who needs a tablet for anything creative would, and should, be desperate to get their hands on one. Unfortunately though, because it runs on Harmony OS 2, you’re very limited in which apps...

Hands on: Huawei MatePad Pro 12.6 (2021) review

Huawei flips the script on Android's clunky tablet UIs with its MatePad 2021 line.

Loud, clear speakers and crisp, punchy screen Unique, handy features like Reverse Wireless Charging

No Google services supported in apps Lower refresh rate than the main competition

Huawei has been smart. It’s recognized Android tablets suffer from poor, phone-optimized interfaces that pale when compared to iPadOS. So while the MatePad Pro can’t compete on app support, with some inspired (by Apple and Microsoft) enhancements that...

Huawei MatePad Pro 12.6 initial review: Class act or simply compromised?

Is the MatePad Pro the best Android competition against the iPad Pro, or is it just not worth your time due to lack of Google Services?

HarmonyOS interface is geared for tables ; Multi-tasking is well implemented ; Speaker sound is superb ; Great battery life

Cameras are okay at best ; Lack of apps officially available ; Can't buy it anywhere ; HarmonyOS looks painfully similar to iPadOS in places

Huawei's HarmonyOS software on this tablet makes for a device that's great for everyday productivity, but its lack of availability and, to some degree, officially available aoos, count against it.

Huawei MatePad Pro 12.6 review

You are going to hear that it's a new dawn for Huawei thanks to the first public release of HarmonyOS. And the new MatePad tablets are supposed to usher...

Large OLED screen, high resolution, HDR10.

Screen lacks a high-refresh rate.

Yet, if you put down the second-guessing for a while, you'll enjoy one great tablet and user experience, almost as good as the best in class. And we like that Huawei is pushing heavily its own ecosystem - TVs, smart speakers, smartphones and headphones...
