Name: Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2 (2024)
Brand: Huawei
SKU: 98142

Manufacturer: Huawei

The Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2 (2024) is a large-format tablet built around a 13.2″ OLED/AMOLED panel that delivers a 2880 x 1920 resolution at 262 ppi alongside a 144Hz refresh rate and a contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1. At 5.5 mm thick and weighing 590 g, its physical profile is notably slim for a device of this screen size, and the chassis measures 289.1 x 196.1 mm.

Under the hood, the MatePad Pro 13.2 runs on the HiSilicon Kirin 9000S, a 5 nm chipset with an octa-core CPU configuration topping out at 3.3 GHz, paired with 16 GB of RAM running at 2750 MHz and up to 1024 GB of internal storage. The rear camera system combines a 50 MP and an 8 MP sensor capable of 4K video at 30 fps, while connectivity is handled through Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), Bluetooth 5.2, USB Type-C, and a 10100 mAh battery with fast charging support.

Pros

The 13.2″ OLED/AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate and 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio makes for a visually rich experience when watching content or sketching
At just 5.5 mm thick, the slim profile is notably svelte for a tablet of this screen size
1024 GB of internal storage removes the need to manage files closely or rely on external media
The quad-microphone setup combined with LDAC Bluetooth support makes the device well-suited for video calls and wireless high-quality audio
A 10100 mAh battery with fast charging covers extended usage sessions without long downtime
The rich set of software features — split-screen, multi-user support, widgets, customizable notifications, and child lock — adds practical everyday versatility

Cons

No wireless charging support despite the large battery capacity limits recharging flexibility
The absence of a 3.5 mm headphone jack forces reliance on wireless or USB-C audio solutions
No NFC, no cellular module, and no 5G support restrict the tablet to Wi-Fi-only connectivity outside of saved content
Optical image stabilization is missing from the main camera, which can affect video quality in handheld use
The device does not receive direct OS updates from the vendor, which may lead to delays in software support
No stylus or detachable keyboard is included in the box, meaning accessory costs fall entirely on the user

Who is this for?

This tablet is a solid fit for users who spend significant time consuming media or working with visual content, thanks to its 13.2″ OLED/AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate and a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio that renders content with notable depth and clarity. The combination of 16 GB of RAM, a Kirin 9000S chipset, and 1024 GB of internal storage makes it well-suited for professionals or students who handle large files, run multiple apps simultaneously via split-screen, or need ample local storage without worrying about cloud dependency. The quad-microphone array, LDAC support, stereo speakers, and multi-user capability also make it a practical choice for shared household use or remote collaboration.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who need always-on mobile connectivity will find this tablet limiting, as it lacks a cellular module and 5G support, restricting it to Wi-Fi-only use outside the home or office. Those who rely on stylus-based workflows or a physical keyboard for productivity will need to factor in additional accessories, since neither is included in the box. The absence of optical image stabilization and in-camera panorama also makes it a poor fit for users who intend to use the device seriously for handheld video recording or photography, where stabilization and shooting flexibility are typically expected.
