Huawei has introduced the MatePad Pro Max, a new tablet that is among the thinnest in its class, measuring just 4.7 mm. Priced starting at 1,099 euros, the device features a 13.2-inch OLED screen with a PaperMatte finish, which is designed to reduce glare and enhance readability. The tablet's frame is made entirely of metal, and it is powered by Huawei's custom Kirin T93 Pro chip, paired with a Maleoon 935 GPU and 12 GB of RAM. Storage options include 256 or 512 GB, and the device is available in blue and space gray. The blue variant has a special finish that changes its reflective appearance depending on the viewing angle. The tablet has a high screen-to-body ratio of 94%, with minimal bezels and no notches, as the camera is embedded in the frame. The MatePad Pro Max includes six speakers, which provide good sound quality for music but may not be as clear when listening to spoken dialogue. Performance-wise, the tablet is described as very responsive, with quick app launches and smooth multitasking across up to three windows. It supports Wi-Fi 7, which offers faster internet speeds, and has a thermal management system that prevents overheating during heavy use. Gaming performance is strong, with popular titles like Call of Duty Mobile and Genshin Impact running smoothly. The rear camera is a 50-megapixel sensor with a True-to-Colour system that performs well in low light, while the front camera is 12 megapixels with good detail. The MatePad Pro Max runs on HarmonyOS 4.3, which provides a smooth and customizable interface with features such as a customizable dock, widgets, themes, and an Ebook mode. However, the tablet does not include Google services, so users must install third-party apps like GBox to access the Google Play Store and MicroG to complete the Android experience. Some apps on Huawei's AppGallery may not be as stable, and the voice assistant, Celia, has limited features and struggles with continuous conversations. The tablet includes facial recognition, a fingerprint sensor on the power/standby button, and trusted device unlocking. It has a large 9,760 mAh battery that can last up to 13 hours of local video playback and supports 66 W fast charging, though the required charger is sold separately. The device can also charge a smartphone at up to 40 W. An optional Glide Keyboard is available, but it only offers a QWERTY layout, which may not suit users who prefer the AZERTY layout common in France. While the tablet's design and thinness are praised, its weight and the need for extra steps to access a full ecosystem are considered drawbacks.
