Huawei’s MatePad Pro Max Sets New Thin-and-Light Mark With 13-Inch PaperMatte OLED

Early hands-on points to a standout matte OLED display for creatives.

Overview

  • Huawei introduced the MatePad Pro Max as its largest tablet and claims it is the thinnest and lightest 13-inch model at 4.7mm and about 499 grams.
  • The 13.2-inch 3K PaperMatte OLED uses a matte, anti-glare finish that the reviewer said stayed bright outdoors and showed crisp, vivid video.
  • Drawing felt more natural on the textured screen in early testing, which could appeal to artists who use a stylus for sketching and painting.
  • To address strength in such a thin shell, Huawei says it added a load-bearing internal beam and steel reinforcements around key parts.
  • Huawei cites a 10,400mAh silicon battery with over 14 hours of video playback, a 20% speed gain and new cooling, and a global launch is due in the coming weeks without Google apps preinstalled though the Play Store can be added.
