With the right tools, creative people can produce magical things – and if you like to create digitally, the HUAWEI MatePad Pro 12.2-inch and MatePad 12X are tools made just for you. Whether you’re a creative professional or an enthusiastic amateur, these tablets combine cutting-edge technology, innovative design and premium materials to delight, excite and inspire you every day.
The perfect canvas for your biggest ideas
Let’s start with the most powerful tablet for pros, the new HUAWEI MatePad Pro. Its large 12.2-inch display is the perfect canvas for big ideas – and because the MatePad Pro is the lightest tablet of its size on the market, you’ll want to take it with you everywhere so it’s ready when inspiration strikes.
The MatePad Pro isn’t just a creative tool, although it’s packed with power. It’s also a work of art in its own right, with a design inspired by the silky textures of traditional Chinese paintings. Its golden silk rear cover is unlike anything else on the market and sets a new standard for artistry on an electronic device – and it’s as much a technical triumph as it is an artistic one, because that cover is made from ultra-thin aviation-grade glass fibre that’s been polished over 1,000 times to produce that luxurious, silken feel.
One of our very favourite features of the HUAWEI MatePad Pro 12.2-inch is its beautiful OLED PaperMatte display, which uses industry-leading technology to deliver an incredibly lifelike visual experience. It delivers extraordinary brightness – up to 2,000 nits for astonishing HDR visuals – with superb contrast and colour. And its anti-glare properties with not just anti-glare but anti-sparkle and high frequency dimming mean it’s ideal for all-hours entertainment, creation and communicating.
The display is designed for creativity and productivity with a stunning 2.8K resolution and a panel free from distractions such as invasive notches and camera cut-outs. And with a refresh rate of up to 144Hz and a sky-high touch sampling rate it’s as silky as the paintings that inspired it.

The HUAWEI MatePad Pro 12.2-inch has another great option for professional creators: the brand new HUAWEI Glide Keyboard with its built-in stylus slot, skin-soothing materials. Made with aerospace-grade materials, the Glide Keyboard is the lightest tablet keyboard/touchpad combination, weighing just 928g including the MatePad Pro 12.2.
That makes it the perfect combination for travel, mobile working and last-minute trips when creativity strikes. And it’s the perfect partner for the third generation HUAWEI M-Pencil, the first ever consumer product with HUAWEI NearLink technology and the first tablet stylus to support a staggering 16,384 pressure levels. With incredibly low latency, pixel-level accuracy and astonishing precision it delivers a truly exceptional drawing and writing experience.
The combination of the MatePad Pro 12.2’s cutting-edge display and the M-Pencil’s incredible sensitivity is particularly impressive in the newly updated HUAWEI GoPaint app, which delivers 10 powerful editing tools including new additions such as magic wand selection, layer location, grid points and guidelines to help you push the boundaries of creative expression. And if you’re using your MatePad Pro for work, HUAWEI Notes powers productivity with a range of useful tools including Note Replay, which can automatically transcribe meetings while recording audio.
Of course, there’s no point in having all these creative and productivity tools if your tablet doesn’t have enough stamina to keep up with all your ideas. That’s why the HUAWEI MatePad Pro 12.2-inch has a long-lasting 10,100mAh ultra large capacity battery that outperforms the iPad Pro 11-inch (2024) by a spectacular 30%. And with 100W HUAWEI SuperCharge support, smart battery optimisation and an industry-leading 380 days in standby mode, it’s always ready for new creative challenges.

The new HUAWEI MatePad 12 X delivers many of the incredible features of the MatePad Pro 12.2-inch including that astonishing PaperMatte display, M-Pencil support and silky-smooth screen. And it feels as special as it looks thanks to one of the most innovative displays ever put into a tablet. HUAWEI’s Nanoscale Anti-Etching Technology looks and feels like paper, especially when you’re writing or drawing with the HUAWEI M-Pencil: in a world where so many people write or draw on glass, the MatePad 12 X delivers a beautifully natural, tactile and joyful experience. By delivering the feel of paper with the convenience of digital it really does deliver the best of both worlds.
Like its Pro sibling, the MatePad 12 X also comes with the creator-acclaimed GoPaint App and its ultra-realistic brushes and textures. It’s a game-changer for digital painting, combining exceptional user-friendliness with serious painting power: over 150 brushes and 80 adjustable parameters including Fluid Brushes, Splatter Brushes and Dual-effect brushes. Take the Fluid Brush for example: it renders your strokes in real time, its intelligent algorithms mimicking the real-world behaviour of ink spreading out and into paper. Whether you’re using watercolours or calligraphy, you can use the Fluid Brush to achieve the most delicate, detailed and lifelike effects on every kind of artwork.

The Splatter Brush is just as impressive, with real-life painting techniques including spray paint, Pollock splatters, lettering and so on. It’s incredible fun, too: simply hover the stylus above your tablet’s screen and tap twice to activate a mesmerising ink splatter. It’s particularly fun for children and inexperienced painters, but in the hands of a pro it’s also a wonderfully intuitive and interesting way to unlock new creative possibilities.
Whether you go for the astonishing power of the HUAWEI MatePad Pro 12.2 or the everyday excellence of the HUAWEI MatePad 12 X, you’re getting the most beautifully designed, lifelike and powerful drawing, writing and productivity tablets ever made – and of course they’re ideal for sitting back and relaxing too.
