Huawei announced a new stylus alongside its new MatePad tablets last month. Called the M-Pencil 2 or M-Pencil (2nd Generation), the stylus has been redesigned, has lower latency, and increased precision. While the product page says that the stylus is compatible with the MatePad Pro and MatePad running HarmonyOS 2 and above, a promotional video has revealed it is also compatible with the Mate 40 series.
The promotional video was shared on Weibo by the user that goes by @菊厂影业Fans. The minute-long advert highlights the features of the new stylus, one of which is Multi-device Connection (with) Seamless Switchover. This feature allows users to pair the stylus to more than one device and switch from one to the other without the need for any extra process.
In the video, we see the user painting on a tablet and switch seamlessly to the Mate 40 Pro/Mate 40 Pro+ to continue painting.
The M-Pencil 2nd Generation has a silver finish with an anti-fingerprint coating. It also has a new transparent tip and platinum-coated nib. Huawei bundles it with two replaceable tips.
The stylus has 4096 levels of pressure sensitivity and tilt sensitivity. There is a 360° button around where your finger rests – tapping that area will allow you easily switch between a brush and eraser.
Charging is simple – all you have to do is place it on the edge of the MatePad and it will magnetically attach and begin to charge wirelessly. If you are buying the stylus for your phone, you will have to purchase a charger. A full charge will provide 10 hours of use and a 30-second charge will provide 10 minutes of use.
The M-Pencil (2nd Generation) is priced at ¥599 (~$93) in China.
