Verdict

The Huawei MatePad 11.5 S (2025) is a productivity-focused tablet featuring an 11.5-inch PaperMatte TFT LCD with a 144Hz refresh rate and a 2.8K resolution (2800 x 1840). This model is equipped with 8GB of RAM, 256GB of internal storage, and is powered by an octa-core Kirin 9000WL chipset. Key strengths include its anti-glare, paper-like display ideal for drawing with the 3rd Gen M-Pencil, a slim 6.2mm metal unibody weighing 510g, and a quad-speaker system with Histen 9.0 audio. It features a 13MP rear camera, an 8MP front camera, and an 8,800 mAh battery supporting 40W fast charging. However, notable drawbacks include the lack of native Google Mobile Services (GMS), no 3.5mm headphone jack, and no expandable microSD storage.
