Reviews for the Huawei MatePad Pro 11 2022
The MatePad Pro 11 is an affordable premium tablet with stylus support and an AMOLED display. There are a couple of drawbacks, since it is a Huawei device: It comes without Google services and does not support 5G. Does the low price make up for these compromises?

The Huawei MatePad Pro 11 is a fine tablet rendered hard to recommend to most people thanks to the same issue that has killed Huawei phones in the West. It doesn’t have Google apps or services, meaning no access to Google Play. This might not be a big issue with an affordable tablet. The Amazon Fire range does just fine without Google Play. However, the Huawei MatePad Pro 11 is not a budget tablet. You’re either going to be regularly reminded of the lack of quality apps on Huawei’s AppGallery, or you’re a person who probably shouldn’t be buying a tablet this high-end in the first place. And if we forget that software issue? I don’t love the plastic casing. Not at this price. But the major negatives all hinge on the reliance on Huawei’s alternatives to Google software, which still don’t stack up all that well in the west.

That's an excellent question. Based on my experience with this tablet, my answer is a resounding "Yes." The biggest downside to your experience of the MatePad Pro 11 might be the lack of Google applications. For some, this won't be an issue—YouTube will happily run in the browser, as will Gmail. But if you're looking for native app integration, you'll need to look elsewhere. The MatePad Pro 11 is great... as long as you're not strictly married to the Google ecosystem. The keyboard is fabulous as well, allowing for speedy typing. However, I recommend turning off the word suggestions as they can get annoying quickly, especially when typing in email addresses and passwords. The M-Pencil is also a fun tool to use as well. When you're not using it, just pop it on the side of the tablet to charge. The combination makes for an ideal replacement for your laptop while on the go. All in all, the Huawei MatePad Pro is an excellent choice for a tablet. From the accessories to the impressive screen, from the responsiveness to the fantastic battery life, you can't go wrong with this choice.

There's no better way to put it; the Huawei MatePad Pro 11-inch (2022) is a mixed bag. You get top-tier specs and a premium build through and through. Harmony OS comes with so many excellent features, but you're locked out if you don't have a Huawei phone or laptop. It's so easy to fall for that lovely display and astonishingly good speaker setup, but then there's the conflicting app ecosystem and lack of Google Play Services that you need to swallow.

The MatePad Pro 11's one glaring flaw is evident before you even get to experience the tablet itself - it's the lack of Google backing. So if you're at all reliant on the Google app suite, or apps that require Google Play Services to run, there's not much point in considering this particular tablet. However, we'd argue the limitations are much easier to live with on a tablet than on your smartphone. If this doesn't bother you, the MatePad Pro 11 is a nicely capable and very appealing offering. It's got one of the best displays on a tablet and possibly the fastest charging we've encountered on one, fast enough to make the so-so battery life barely a mention in the cons section. HarmonyOS may not be Google's Android, but you'll find a wide-ranging selection of the most used apps in Huawei's AppGallery. The proprietary features are useful and well thought out, and the optional stylus and keyboard make for a very versatile productivity/creativity package. The nice speakers are also a plus, as is the better-than-average camera system. The compact dimensions and low weight don't hurt either, though if you're after an 11-inch tablet, perhaps you're willing to accept some concessions in terms of bulk and heft. All in all, the MatePad Pro 11 is worth a recommendation... Provided you can find one, which isn't straightforward in Europe, much less in the US.

The MatePad Pro 11 gets plenty right on the hardware front: a beautiful screen, stellar sound, and dependable battery life. It takes a decent photo, too – not always a given when it comes to tablets, even pricey ones.There are some rough edges on the software side, though. As multitasking-friendly as HarmonyOS 3 is, rival tabs have set a higher bar, and there’s still the the extra hoops to jump through because of the lack of Google services. We don’t either are a total dealbreaker, but shouldn’t be overlooked by anyone not at least a familiar with APKs. It’s a whole lot more wallet-friendly than an iPad Pro, though, and also undercuts the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8. That alone could make it worth a look for anyone after a do-it-all slate.

Starting at €649 the Huawei MatePad Pro 11 (2022) is not cheap by any means. However, Huawei did a great job with it. This tablet runs really smoothly, even during those prolonged gaming sessions, and all that despite the fact it doesn’t have the latest and greatest SoC. It has a great display with excellent touch response, and really fluid software. Even its cameras are serviceable, and if you do choose to get some accessories for it, you won’t be sorry. However, if you do install tons of obscure apps on your devices, or need some specific ones that are not available in the AppGallery, well, you may have a problem. You can always sideload, but be careful while you do it. Google apps are also out of the question. What I’m trying to say is, the main problem with the tablet is caused by the US ban on Huawei. This product, on its own, is really great, and premium-feeling. It’s up to you to decide whether it’s worth it to you.

The Huawei MatePad Pro 11 (2022) is a relatively versatile tablet as we found in our review of it for the Philippines, thanks to its beautiful and color-accurate display, neat multi-tasking tricks, M-Pen integration, and easy-to-use keyboard. Probably the only thing that’ll hold you back is its price tag, though to be fair its sticker price is pretty close to its other competitors in the tablet space.

Qualcomm Adreno 650: Graphics chip for smartphones and tablets that is integrated within the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC. Qualcomm claims that it is 25% faster than the Adreno 640 in the Snapdragon 855 SoC and offers 50% more compute units (ALUs). For Android it should be one of the fastest graphics cards in 2020.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

This is a standard display format for tablet computers or small convertibles. You see more on the screen than on a smartphone but you can't use big resolutions well. On the other hand, mobility is not a problem.
