Earlier today (25th September 2023), Huawei held a launch event where it announced a bunch of new products in China. One of these launches includes the new MatePad Pro 13.2″, which is a high-end tablet from the company. So here are all the details regarding its specs, pricing, and more.
Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2″ Design & Display
The Chinese tech giant’s latest tablet model features a tall 13.2-inch display. Yu Chengdong, Huawei’s Consumer Chief, stated that the MatePad Pro 13.2″ is the world’s first tablet to sport a flexible OLED panel. This screen features a resolution of 2880 x 1920 pixels with a wide P3 color gamut, a contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1, a peak brightness of 1000 nits, a 3:2 aspect ratio, a 1440Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, and Rheinland Global Eye Protection 3.0 certification.
The tablet adopts an edge-to-edge screen design from the front, while the rear features a sleek design and a circular camera module. Notably, it also features the highest screen-to-body ratio in the industry (94 percent). The front also has minimal bezels on the side, a notch on the top, and a thin design. The MatePad Pro 13.2″ weighs just 580 grams and measures an impressive 5.5mm in thickness. Huawei claims that it is the world’s thinnest and lightest tablet for its large size.
Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2″ Specs & Stylus
Under the hood, the Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2 is equipped with the Kirin 9000s, which is the same chipset that powers the brand’s Mate 60 series of flagship smartphones. This processor is paired with up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of internal storage. The company focused on the cooling mechanism as the device houses 52000m㎡ of graphite for heat dissipation and VC liquid cooling. A massive 10,100mAh battery pack powers the tablet that supports 88W fast charging as well. In 40 minutes of charging, the device can hit 85 percent charge, while a full charge takes around 65 minutes.
For audio, the Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2 is equipped with 6 dual-channel speakers (dual high frequency and 4 low frequency), supports spatial audio, and Huawei Sound certification. The front houses a 16-megapixel and a ToF sensor, while the rear features a 13-megapixel + 8-megapixel dual camera setup. Other notable features include Bluetooth 5.2, AAC, and LDAC codecs. The device runs on HarmonyOS 4 out of the box and also arrives with the company’s third-gen M-Pen stylus.
This pen uses StarLight technology with over 10,000 levels of pressure and its latency can hit as low as 0ms. As per the official notes, the M-Pen stylus is fast and can offer an improved writing and drawing experience than its predecessor. The stylus was compared to the Apple Pen, with Huawei claiming that the accuracy is 20 percent higher than the 2nd gen Apple Pen. Paired with the tall display, creative users can expect a smooth experience with the new stylus.
