Reviews for the Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2 (2025)

85.4% The top-of-the-range tablet with a nanotextured glass display - Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2 PaperMatte (2025) review | Notebookcheck
Visually, the MatePad Pro 13.2 has hardly changed compared to its predecessor, but it now also uses a fully-fledged PaperMatte display, reducing reflections to a minimum. During our test, it was additionally revealed to have a faster processor, while struggling with the same old problems.
80% The Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2 PaperMatte edition is an illustration powerhouse – but you'll have to put up with an awkward keyboard and its Google-free OS
Source: It Pro English
So, for £849.99 you get a rather beautiful 13.2in tablet with a lot of useful features. The keyboard and stylus need to be purchased separately, which is good because not all will like the former. As always, there is a software sacrifice to make with Huawei, it really does test how much you love your familiar US-made services. You can get some Google apps through emulators, but it's an extra faff you don't need. For creative workloads like illustration, it is up there with the best thanks to its intuitive M-Pen and feature-loaded GoPaint app.

Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2 PaperMatte (2025) Unboxing & Review
Source: Tech Spurt English
One of the biggest hurdles to overcome is the lack of Google, as ever. At the risk of sounding like a broken record (still better than sounding like Ed Sheeran), there's no Play Store so it's APKs or hackaboutery all the way. The Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2 2025 makes up for it in other areas, however. Unlike the best Android tablets, this 13-inch slate has a PaperMatte screen which is ideal for outdoors visibility. Factor in the crisp resolution, powerful sperakers and respectable storage and the Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2 2025 is an entertainment powerhouse. Battery life is also top, to enhance that portability, while the NearLink Smart Magnetic Keyboard is an excellent accessory. Of course, it's not all good news. There's no eSIM support, or expandable storage. And I did experience a few little issues, like the overly sensitive screen - it's too easy for your thumbs to bork things up. But the Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2 PaperMatte is still a great tablet, if you can overcome these difficulties.

80% Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2 (2025) review: A very good tablet that could be excellent
Source: Creative Bloq English
Huawei makes great tablets - the slightly matte screen on this one is great to read from and draw on. As a useful package, it comes with accessories you'll want to buy anyway. Sadly, its software lets it down as its app service is just not as instant as other app stores. However, it is improving, and with a stylus response and screen quality like this one, you might love it for drawing and digital art (if you can find the right apps).

HUAWEI MatePad Pro 13.2": The Ultimate Tablet for Work and Play?
Source: Tech Nave English
If you're in the market for a high-performance tablet that balances work and play, the HUAWEI MatePad Pro 13.2" is worth considering. It delivers PC-level productivity, making it a great alternative to a laptop, especially for those who are always on the move. To make the deal even sweeter, HUAWEI is offering RM2,744 worth of freebies for early buyers from now till 14 March 2025. With a HUAWEI Smart Magnetic Keyboard, HUAWEI M-Pencil 3rd Gen, HUAWEI Mouse, Sound Joy speaker, and PC-level WPS Office suite included, you're getting an incredible value for RM4999.

75% Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2 PaperMatte Review: A different kind of beast
Source: Phone Arena English
The MatePad Pro 13.2 PaperMatte is a strong challenger in the oversized tablet space. With a massive display and great audio in a unique and likable design, the MatePad Pro 13.2 PaperMatte has that special sauce that makes it a noteworthy option. This is doubly true for users on the lookout for a large tablet, and especially those who'll be doing a lot of hand-writing or drawing. However, the added size makes it less portable than usual for a tablet, and the software limitations remain a key consideration. If you’d like a matte display for digital art, note-taking, or outdoor use, and can work your way around the software roadblocks, the MatePad Pro 13.2 PaperMatte is a great option to consider.

Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2 (2025): The Best Looking Tablet
Source: ben's gadget reviews English
The Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2 2025 is the latest premium tablet from Huawei. It comes with a large, very thin bezelled screen with a matte antireflective texture. I'm also a fan of the keyboard and full PC desktop-like productivity.

Qualcomm Maleoon 920: Graphics chip for smartphones and tablets, integrated in the HiSilicon Kirin 9020. Unfortunately, Huawei does not provide any detailed information. What is certain is that it does not support hardware-based ray tracing and only the older Vulkan 1.0 standard.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


Kirin T92: ARM-based SoC with 12 cores (2x HiSilicon Main up to 2.50 GHz, 6x HiSilicon Mid up to 2.15 GHz, 4xHiSilicon up to 1.6 GHz).» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


13.20":

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
