Third-party reviews

What we like about Huawei Matepad Pro 12 6 2022 WiFi (12GB + 512GB)

  • Stunning 12.6-inch OLED display with high color accuracy (Delta E < 0.5) and 120Hz refresh rate
  • Exceptional eight-speaker audio system providing loud and clear surround sound
  • Impressive battery life, often exceeding 10-12 hours of active use, with support for 40W fast charging
  • Handy reverse wireless charging feature to power other devices like smartphones or earbuds
  • Premium, slim, and lightweight magnesium alloy build quality
  • Strong performance for multitasking and professional creative tasks using the Kirin 9000E processor
  • Excellent stylus (M-Pencil) integration with low latency for artists and designers

What we don't like about Huawei Matepad Pro 12 6 2022 WiFi (12GB + 512GB)

  • Lack of Google Mobile Services (GMS), requiring workarounds or web-based access for apps like Gmail, YouTube, and the Play Store
  • Limited native app selection in the Huawei AppGallery compared to standard Android or iPadOS
  • Absence of a 3.5mm headphone jack (requires an adapter)
  • Lack of a fingerprint scanner, relying solely on face unlock or PINs
  • Average camera performance, particularly struggling with slow autofocus and shaky video recording
  • High price point that makes it hard to recommend over competitors with full app support

Verdict

The Huawei MatePad Pro 12.6 (2022) is a high-end tablet featuring a 12.6-inch OLED FullView Display with a 120Hz refresh rate, 2560 x 1600 resolution, and professional-grade color accuracy (Delta E < 0.5). This model is powered by the Kirin 9000E chipset paired with a substantial 12GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage, running on HarmonyOS 3.0. Main pros include its immersive eight-speaker Huawei Sound system, a large 10,050 mAh battery supporting 40W wired and 27W wireless fast charging, and unique reverse wireless charging capabilities for other devices. However, significant cons remain the lack of native Google Mobile Services (GMS) and the absence of a 3.5mm headphone jack or fingerprint scanner.
