Tablet

A creative tool. The Huawei MatePad 12 X (2025) features an innovative PaperMatte display that minimizes reflections and creates a paper-like writing surface. Under the hood, a new Kirin processor ensures balanced performance, while 12 GB of RAM enables smooth multitasking. It also supports the new M-Pencil Pro.

If only it were $100 cheaper. The Huion Kamvas Slate 13 is a 13-inch Android tablet that's ostensibly designed for artists, with its matte display, sketch-friendly aspect ratio, and included stylus with 4096 levels of pressure sensitivity, but in our review, the tablet exhibits a number of compromises and one fatal flaw. The Huion Kamvas Slate 13 might be an ideal note-taking tablet, but there are better digital sketch pads.

Powerful. The Alldocube Ultra Pad stands out in testing with its spacious 13-inch display, powerful Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 processor, generous memory, and massive 15,000 mAh battery. It’s ideal for work, streaming, and everyday use. Despite its heft and underwhelming cameras, it still delivers solid value for the money.

Compact, lightweight, and impressively powerful. The small 8.8-inch Xiaomi Pad Mini delivers performance and features you’d usually expect only from high-end smartphones. It offers up to 512 GB of storage and, with its Dimensity 9400+ chip, can even outperform the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in some cases. The tablet also features a stunning 3K display with a 165 Hz refresh rate and delivers excellent battery life despite its compact size.
