Verdict

The Huawei MatePad 11.5 S 2025 is a productivity-focused tablet featuring an 11.5-inch PaperMatte TFT LCD with a 2800 x 1840 resolution and a smooth 144Hz refresh rate. This specific WiFi model is equipped with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage, powered by an octa-core Kirin 9000WL chipset and an 8800mAh battery supporting 40W fast charging. Main pros include its innovative anti-glare display that mimics the feel of paper, a lightweight 515g unibody design, and strong quad-speaker audio performance. However, notable cons include the lack of native Google Play Services due to HarmonyOS, the absence of a 3.5mm headphone jack, and no expandable microSD storage.
