What customers like about Huawei Matepad Pro WiFi (8GB + 256GB)

  • High-quality display with thin bezels and vibrant color accuracy
  • Excellent quad-speaker audio system providing immersive sound quality
  • Long battery life often exceeding 12 hours of video playback
  • Sleek and lightweight premium design with a high screen-to-body ratio

What customers don't like about Huawei Matepad Pro WiFi (8GB + 256GB)

  • Lack of Google Mobile Services (GMS), meaning no native Google Play Store or Google apps
  • Limited app selection in the Huawei AppGallery compared to competitors
  • No 3.5mm headphone jack, requiring an adapter
  • Netflix and some other streaming services are often limited to SD resolution
  • Processor and GPU performance can lag behind rivals like the iPad Pro or Galaxy Tab
  • Accessories like the M-Pencil and keyboard typically must be purchased separately at a high cost
  • Some users reported the tablet can wobble when using the touchscreen while attached to the keyboard

Verdict

The Huawei MatePad Pro (8GB + 256GB) is a flagship-tier tablet powered by the Kirin 990 octa-core chipset, featuring a 10.8-inch QHD IPS display with a 2560 x 1600 resolution and a 90% screen-to-body ratio. Its primary strengths include its high-performance hardware, zippy multitasking capabilities, and innovative battery features like 40W wired fast charging, 15W wireless charging, and 7.5W reverse wireless charging for external accessories. The device also boasts a lightweight 460g build and a Harman Kardon-tuned quad-speaker system for an immersive media experience. However, its main disadvantages are the total lack of native Google Mobile Services (GMS), which prevents standard access to the Google Play Store, and a Widevine L3 DRM limitation that restricts some streaming services to standard definition.
