Huawei MatePad Pro: Specifications
The Huawei MatePad Pro comes with a 10.8-inch AMOLED screen featuring QHD+ resolution. The display has a 16:10 aspect ratio. As I said earlier, there is a punch-hole on the left aligned to the top-right corner of the screen. According to Huawei, bezels around the display are just 4.9mm thick, giving the device a screen to body ratio of more than 90%. The device comes with an M-Pen Stylus for enhanced productivity.
Powering the MatePad Pro is the Kirin 990 SoC. The tablet runs on Android 10 operating system with EMUI 10 customization. The brand has customized the OS to suit the tablet interface. You can use two apps side by side, just like that on a PC, on the MatePad Pro. Unfortunately, the device doesn’t offer Google Mobile Service suite due to the ongoing US-China trade war.
In terms of imaging, the MatePad Pro has a 13MP rear camera and an 8MP front-facing camera. The MatePad Pro packs a 7,250mAh battery. It supports 40W SuperCharge fast charging, 15W fast wireless charging, and 7.5W reverse wireless charging. The tablet measures 159 x 245 x 7.2mm, and it weighs 460 grams.
