Reviews for the Huawei MatePad 12 X
On the hunt for an affordable alternative to an Apple iPad Air for school? Then the MatePad 12X could be the perfect alternative with its specially-coated PaperMatte display, stylus support as well as a complimentary keyboard cover. Is it worth buying?

So, is the Huawei MatePad 12 X the perfect holiday gift? Well, that really depends on what you’re looking for. If you’re after a sleek, big-screen tablet with solid performance, a nice display, and a decent set of cameras for the basics, this could be a great option. The build quality is impressive, and its sound and display features make it a treat for watching content and light productivity. But, like any good gift, there are some quirks. The bloatware and software limitations are a bit of a downer, and there’s the looming uncertainty around long-term updates. Plus, its performance doesn’t exactly match the price tag, which might make you question if you’re getting the most for your money.

Digital painters and magazine readers will enjoy the MatePad 12X Papermatte Edition. Its matte screen produces plenty of brightness and colour while fending off reflections, and the integration of both the keyboard case and stylus into HarmonyOS is top-notch. For everyone else, it’s a good choice as a media consumption tablet, but you’ll need to check favoured app availability first.
