The Huawei MatePad Pro 12.2 is driven by the HiSilicon Kirin 9000S chipset, fabricated on a 5 nm process with an octa-core CPU configuration running at up to 3.3GHz turbo across 8 threads, using big.LITTLE technology for balanced workload distribution. It is paired with 16GB of RAM at 2750 MHz and 1024GB of internal storage, with no external memory slot available. The Mali-G57 GPU handles graphics with support for DirectX 12, OpenGL ES 3.2, OpenCL 2, and OpenVG 1.1, and integrated graphics are present on the SoC. Cache configuration includes 64 KB of L1, 0.512 MB of L2 at 0.256 MB per core, and 4 MB of L3 at 2 MB per core, while maximum memory bandwidth reaches 44 GB/s. The chip also integrates LTE, supports 64-bit processing, includes ARM TrustZone for security, and carries a thermal design power of 6W. ECC memory is not supported.
The Huawei MatePad Pro 12.2 features a dual rear camera setup with 13 MP and 8 MP sensors, both using CMOS technology, capable of recording 4K video at 2160 x 30 fps with continuous autofocus during recording. A single LED flash and a video light are present, though the flash is not dual-tone or RGB, and optical image stabilization is absent. Manual controls extend to ISO, focus, exposure, and white balance, while HDR mode is built in; however, HDR10 recording, Dolby Vision recording, panorama, 360° panorama, burst mode, and manual shutter speed are not supported. Optical zoom is not available. On the front, a 16 MP camera with an f/2.2 aperture handles video calls and selfies, though it lacks a dedicated LED flash. Touch autofocus is supported across the camera system, and there are no 3D photo or video recording capabilities.
The Huawei MatePad Pro 12.2 includes stereo speakers for built-in audio output, but does not offer a 3.5 mm headphone jack or a radio. On the wireless audio side, none of the Qualcomm aptX variants — including aptX, aptX HD, aptX Low Latency, aptX Adaptive, and aptX Lossless — are supported, and LDAC is also absent.
The Huawei MatePad Pro 12.2 is equipped with a 10100 mAh rechargeable battery that is non-removable. A battery level indicator is present, but the device does not support fast charging or wireless charging.
The Huawei MatePad Pro 12.2 connects wirelessly via Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) and Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n), alongside Bluetooth 5.2, while wired connectivity is handled through a USB Type-C port running USB 3.2. There is no cellular module, 5G support, NFC, HDMI output, or Ethernet. Location support covers GPS and Galileo, and the sensor suite includes a gyroscope, compass, and accelerometer, though a barometer and infrared sensor are not present. Security options include a fingerprint scanner, while 3D facial recognition and an iris scanner are not available. On the software side, the tablet supports split screen, dark mode, widgets, multi-user profiles, child lock, customizable notifications, sharing intents, voice commands, camera and microphone privacy controls, battery health check, and device position tracking. Direct OS updates from the vendor are not provided, and there is no built-in projector.
