4. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.2, and USB 3.1 Gen 1, but there is no headphone jack; it runs on HarmonyOS 4.3 with multitasking capabilities.

The Huawei MatePad Pro 12.2” (2024) was introduced last August, marking it as the first non-Apple tablet featuring a tandem OLED display. Following this, Huawei also released a larger version called the Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2 (2025), which, despite its name, was launched in November 2024 and lacks the tandem OLED display. Recently, Huawei has unveiled a 2025 edition of the MatePad Pro 12.2”, which includes some significant improvements.
New Features and Launch Event
At an event in Berlin, Huawei introduced the MatePad Pro 12.2” (2025) alongside the Huawei FreeBuds 6, Huawei Watch 5, and the Huawei Watch Fit 4. The new tablet features a tandem OLED FullView display. There’s also an option for a model with a Tandem OLED PaperMatte Display, which minimizes glare and offers a writing or drawing experience that feels more like paper.
Specifications Remaining Similar
The display specifications of the MatePad Pro 12.2” remain the same as its previous version. It still has a resolution of 2800 x 1840 and a 144Hz refresh rate, while the peak brightness is still at 2,000 nits. Although Huawei did not disclose the processor for the new tablet, the previous model used the Kirin T91. It continues to have options for 12GB of RAM and either 256GB or 512GB of storage.
Camera and Other Upgrades
Even though it might seem there aren’t many changes between this year’s model and last year’s, there are a few distinctions. The newer MatePad Pro 12.2” comes with a 50MP primary rear camera that enables it to capture higher resolution images, along with an 8MP ultrawide angle camera. For context, the 2024 MatePad Pro 12.2 (currently available on Amazon.de for €799) featured a 13MP + 8MP dual camera setup on the rear.
While the primary rear camera has seen an upgrade, the MatePad Pro 12.2” retains the same 8MP front camera as its predecessor. It also keeps the fingerprint scanner, quad speakers, quad microphones, and a 10,100 mAh battery capacity from last year’s model. The charging speed hasn’t been specified, but the earlier model came with 100W fast charging via USB-C, so we don’t expect any changes there.
Connectivity Options and Software
The MatePad Pro 12.2” supports Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.2, and USB 3.1 Gen 1, but it does not include a headphone jack. It operates on HarmonyOS 4.3, which introduces a three-window multitasking feature. Available in Black and Green, the MatePad Pro 12.2” includes the Huawei Glide Keyboard and a SuperCharge adapter, although the stylus needs to be bought separately.
Pricing Information
The MatePad Pro 12.2” (2025) is priced at €849.99 for the base model with 256GB of storage, while the 512GB version is available at €999.99. In the UK, the 512GB variant will be sold for £899.99, but Huawei has no intentions of offering the 256GB model in that region.
