Huawei launched the MatePad Pro 13.2″ back in September last year with the 7nm Kirin 9000s chip, the one that powers the Huawei Mate 60 series. One limitation of this tablet is the absence of cellular connectivity. Now according to ITHome, the tablet is fixing that with a SIM card version.

You’ll now get SIM card support for an additional 1800 Yuan (~$248)

According to the publication, the SIM card version with 12GB + 512GB configuration of the tablet costs 7499 Yuan (around $1037) whereas the regular version without cellular connectivity had an initial price of 5699 Yuan (around $788). Notably, the new SIM card version is only available in the Black color option, whereas the regular one also comes in Blue and White options alongside the Black one.

Having said that, the SIM card version of the MatePad Pro 13″ (review) tablet does not include any additional changes on the inside as compared to the original version.

This tablet from Huawei equips a 2880×1920 resolution (~262 PPI density) OLED display with 144Hz refresh rate, 360Hz touch sampling rate, and 1440 Hz (high-frequency) PWM dimming, which reduces the risk of eye strain on prolonged usage. The panel reaches 1000 nits of peak brightness. Additionally, this tablet looks good with the 94% screen-to-body ratio, thanks to the narrow borders around the display.

A notable aspect of this tablet is its M-Pen which uses Huawei’s “StarLight” technology and offers over 10,000 levels of pressure sensitivity and latency that goes as low as 0ms. The company noted during the launch that the accuracy of their M-Pen is 20% higher than the second-generation Apple Pencil suggesting that users can expect an enhanced experience compared to the latter.

This 5.5mm thin tablet packs a 10,100mAh battery and supports 88W fast charging. For sustained performance, it equips a 52000m㎡ graphite sheet and an additional VC liquid cooling.
