Huawei dropped a new teaser a few days before its big event in Germany, and it points to a more portable MatePad Pro that’s thinner, cleaner-looking, and built around a display meant to cut down on glare and distractions.
In the short video, Huawei confirmed the MatePad Pro 12″ will be one of the products shown at the September 2 launch event in Munich. The tablet looks noticeably thinner than the previous MatePad Pro 12.2, just 4.7 millimeters. The bezels are tighter, the camera module is a bit larger and round, and it comes in a blue finish. At 454 grams, it’s lighter and more compact than the bigger MatePad Pro Max.
The standout feature is the PaperMatte OLED screen. It reportedly produces almost no glare even in bright daylight, building on Huawei’s existing anti-reflective coating that gives the surface a paper-like feel. That should make it easier to use outdoors and more comfortable for reading, note-taking, or drawing with a stylus. It’s also expected to work with the Huawei Glide keyboard case (the one with a multitouch trackpad) and the usual stylus support.
Full global specs haven’t been shared yet, but the design and positioning suggest the international version will be very close to the MatePad Pro 12″ already on sale in China. That one packs a high-quality OLED panel (with a PaperMatte option), a Kirin T93-series chipset, up to 12 GB of RAM, a 50 MP main camera, and solid multimedia features including multiple speakers. The global model is likely to keep the same focus on productivity and portability.
The larger MatePad Pro Max has already picked up strong reviews for its build quality, excellent speakers, and bright OLED display, though it misses cellular connectivity options that competitors offer.
Pricing, exact availability, and the full list of features should all land at the Munich event. Until then, this teaser is mostly about showing that Huawei is serious about making a thinner, lighter MatePad Pro that feels premium.
