Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2 Review With New M-Pencil & Keyboard! 

Correction: There is video out none of my Type-C to HDMI cables or Hubs worked but I tested today a portable screen I just got that has type-C input and it worked. No desktop mode, but you can clone the display or run apps on that extra screen. Sorry for this error.

with all the restrictions out there for Huawei and still perform this great is just amazing

What a wonderful device, I wish I could get my hands on it and all other Huawei products. Huawei king forever and soon the world will witness it!!

7:30 The wireless capable keyboard is something to love. 7:30 You can be in the most awkward position and still be able to use the wireless keyboard. 9:18 The unrestricted resizing capability of the window and the smoothness of the resizing speed is fabulous. 9:08 The flexible multitasking abilities that enables smooth transition when switching to another app even the floating app that float over a fully open app is beautiful to observe. 13:35 65 minutes charge using a fast charger is just ideal for tablets and it's also futuristic for tablets device experience. 18:56 well imagine what it'll be able to do with a flagship processor and other flagship hardware. 20:06 The keyboard magnet definitely needs to be a lot stronger.

Really impressive with the stylus and an absolute absence of visible latency.

Great review. Unfortunately between no video out and the restrictions here in the USA it may not be viable for my use case, but it looks good on paper for the most part.

I think it's a not huge problem for this SD 888 power-like chipset. Because Huawei has its own ecosystem, so they can optimize their own performance without too much power consumption as other ecosystems.

Love the narrow bezels Hopefully they'll release it here in japan 😢

Awesome video! Loved the Amiga shirt! 👍🏻

the video quality on youtube did not max out at 1080 p, if you notice at the last moment it switched to 1440 P, so it was only dependent on the quality of the video itself. I´m guessing it will go up to 4k no problem. I do it on my mate x3 with gbox as well without an issue.

For productivity and video editing it is a fine tablet.

Waoooow........... it looks stunning!

Hi Chris, Small request... Can you please do a review of the HiGole 2 Pro? It's a mini PC but considered a tablet hybrid because of its 5 inch touchscreen. Would like to know if they were able to address the heating issue and RAM Management with the Higole 1. Thanks so much

hey, any info for wireless debugging on harmonyos? thanks *for gamepad use

بی نظیر ❤️😍

They can't use latest chips because of US restrictions. The proud thing is for them is they used their home made chip & that's stunning

Would love to see a review of the Huawei MatePad 11.5S Matte as well! Just released, looks like a good buy with similiar capability to this one (just smaller and Matte IPS screen).

Thanks man I know this a tech channel but Gaza appeared for a second

Maravillosa máquina ya quisiéra uno

Hi, Can you please compare it with Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra???

No video out in that category is unacceptable.

compared this to samsung galaxy tab s9+, which one do you prefer?

The main point i think huawei would dominate others opponent which is wps pc and ppt pc, they hv all function like a normal pc excel and quite well performed

Very good review! This can be compared to Xiaomi Pad Max 14 because of it's size, plus, it already have keyboard and pen as part of it's package. That's a good bargain for me already. You just need to find a good workaround for other things it lacks. Not too bad.😁

Cool 🎉🎉

Very good. Where can I buy it? It's so beautiful, I don't want to use Apple anymore.

The instantaneous writing is the best feature

0:50 Beautiful shirt! Amiga forever! 🥰

Love the shirt!

I have been waiting for this tablet to go global, I'm definitely gonna swap my mate 11.5

Im really liking the design of the device.

Why my matepad pro 13.2 only have widevine of L3???

Hey Chris, happy to see you review brand new Huawei tablet. 🎉

هل يمكن استخدام تطبيقات الأدوبي وكانفا عليه؟

It is expected that in the 5g LTE version users should be able to make and receive a phone call using 5 g sim card like a regular phone no BT calling or third-party application or work arround. Or hardware Compatibility issues etc .

What a beautiful and functional design. This should have been the new iPad pro design. It looks like the screen of a MacBook Pro. They really perfected the stand and keyboard design/functionality. Only the magnet connection of the keyboard needs to be more secure as well as backlit key illumination.

Love the AMIGA shirt!

I think that you forgot one powerful feature, Device + (how the Huawei Eco system works together) Seamlessly working together with every Huawei device.

Jesus, that's a beautiful looking tablet. 😍

Great video Chris, well done👍 Do you have any security concerns running GBox?

Can do you a review for vivo pad 3 pro

I'm looking for a tablet that allows for web development on the go. What do you suggest

The tablet is support 4k on RU-vid ? As I understood no, because the chip is not certificated by google

i wish you'd tried heavier art apps like medibang or something else

Thumbs up for the Amiga shirt.

Can it run google services by default?

Wow❤❤❤.. When it will be available here in the Philippines?

May I know what app you used to test out the M-Pencil? I cannot see pressure sensitivity in their notes app. Thank you!

Amazing tablet, but considering the price, that magnetic keyboard and back cover are kind of a joke. Too bad for the video-out and the 3.5" jack, lazy lazy Huawei, at least on the video-out. Also considering the old SoC, the price is too high for my taste. Those thin bezels are so cute! Well done Huawei and thanks for the usual perfect review, Chris.

How do you charge the keyboard?

Just seen video on Tech Spurt channel and suddenly your video comes out about same tablet 💪💪💪💪

3 mics on the same side?

Is it made out of metal?

I wanted to buy the Huawei Mate 60 Pro when it comes out.The chipset made me rethink my decision because i wanted to keep it for 4-5 years and i dont think the chipset is powerful enough, expecialy becouse I play games.

What about gps support?

Any chance of you reviewing the upcoming minisforum v3?

I personally think that the chipset used for this tablet simply doesn't have that video out via USB-C function, whereas their previous flagship tablets have those due to Snapdragon chipset. It's a shame because I really like the design.

How long does the M-Pencil battery last?

Oh. Front camera look so good, only urgly notch

Hi, quick question. Does this tablet has emui desktop mode?

Dose it got google apps ?

Between this and the xiaomi pad 6s pro 12.4 which one do you recommend for note taking, media consumption not much gaming and maybe drawing.(In terms of smoothness of stylus,latency,palm rejection as well as the performance of keyboard and touchpad)

Samsung says: keep my beer !

Can we install other os in matepad? like- windows, linux, chrome os, andorid custom rom, etc...

damn....its cool

The thing is the bezel is too narrow. Dunno how to hold it comfortably with hands without worrying uninvited touch

Doesn't look like it's coming to the UK sadly :(

Can i install notion?

Unfortunately, no word on how the tablet works with an external monitor/screen.

Лучший экран с минимальным PWM

How long can I use the pen without connecting it to the tablet?

Using for a week, wow.

for such a laptop replacement screen size and good specs, the performace coulda been much much better. My OnePlus Pad 11.6 has more antutu score than this. Otherwise looks really good, but altho Harmony OS is solid it's gonna stay behind android mostly due to compatibility and apps.

Play store?

Hello, What is the resolution on netflix?

I'm struggling with Gbox, it doesn't have most of the apps I need, updates are a struggle to manage and the apps just go belly-up after a while of using them or running in the background (esp. youtube). huawei's are some of the most beautiful paperweights ever made...

Seems like this tablet screen resolution is beautiful compare s9 ultra?

For the price of almost US$1k (or more for taxes plus shipping), is it really worth it?

Chris please we want the matepad air 11.5 🙏💐

Looks nice but how does this compare this with the tab s8 ultra which you also have (or had), just curious on what its USP is given it doesnt have access to google play (or does it have access)? Its a shame it doesnt have video output as I use this function a lot on my tab s8 ultra.

كم سعرة بالعراق ?😊😊

No video out over the USB-C is an instant no for me. I wonder whether it will appeal because of using it's own Harmony OS, with no Android support. Then you still have the fallout from the US ban. It would need to be very keenly priced to succeed outside of it's native country and based on the prices given, I think it will fail quickly. Such as shame as I still love my Mate 20 Pro phone.

Video out, backlit keyboard and snapdragon 8 gen 3... would be a massive banger.

Where do I buy this in Germany?

The UI seems snapier that my Samsung S8 Tablet

With pricing close to 1700 NZD, yesteryear chipset and lack of native Google Play Framework, it's a bit of tall ask.

The score is that because antutu can't recognize the huawei GPU isn't a Mali.

Great specs but no official android support is a let down. i would have buy it.

They should make a tablet without rear facing camera. But i guess people would complain about it, coz people always wanna complain (even if they have never used a tablet’s camera 😂😂)

The biggest tragedy in tech ever was Huawei losing Google services and becoming irrelevant outside of China.

16:44 That’s 1440p, you shouldn’t do highest quality, bcus I think that’s still auto. I’ve you do advanced, then it does really let you choose highest

Still a bit pity that in terms of innovation, there still isn’t always-on LTPO display, and also 15W Qi2 wireless charging + multi gigabits/s, low latency, 60Ghz 802.11ay wireless docking functionalities : it would be VERY useful innovation that would bring a lot of convenience !!!

Not many people are going to notice the performance cause, as you said, outside of gaming it wouldn't be noticeable and I suspect, because most people don't game, that is going to be most people. Also the absolute lack of latency for the pen, the quality of the display and the fact that this may be the thinnest tablet ever made will be a big draw for many. That said I'm not sure if I'm shocked or amused that you're the first tech reviewer to not fully understand everything that is going on around Huawei or specifically the Kirin 9000s. I'm wondering if this is maybe just an act for the review. But if you don't know Huawei is barred from getting it's hands on chips that have the capability of 5G access. This is why they have opted to use the Kirin 9000s not only is it the first advanced made-in-china chip but it gives Huawei devices 5G capability for the first time since 2019. But because of all that it is also means they will not be an upgrade to an 8 Gen 2 or something higher.

SD888 is below midrange cpu this days. It wasn't a very good cpu with high heat.. With this cpu it should be much cheaper. Last year tab s8 ultra is actually better.

Nice design but expensive af

so fastt bro

And another huge tablet that didn't add video input support and in this case, not even output... Lenovo (tab extreme) is the only one actually thinking out of the box.

AMIGA!

Wish there is cellular connection

M-Pencil 3!? Look like the M-Pencil 2
