Many people purchase tablets instead of laptops these days, using them for work or entertainment. In particular, HUAWEI has a wide selection of tablets for productivity. The company's latest tablet is the HUAWEI MatePad 11.5 PaperMatte Edition (2025), a refresh of the model first launched in 2023.
So, what does this new model offer? Below is an overview of what you can expect from this versatile mainstream tablet.
PC-like Productivity
Like many HUAWEI tablets, the HUAWEI MatePad 11.5 PaperMatte Edition (2025) is a portable powerhouse. It's paired with a detachable smart keyboard, which allows usage of the tablet in Split Form or Laptop Form. Even when attached, the entire setup remains relatively light and portable, making the tablet ideal for working on the go.
Since productivity is a core of this tablet, it must have the apps for that purpose. As such, this MatePad tablet sports an excellent office suite with PC-level performance and features. The WPS Office suite has several free productivity apps: Doc, Slides, and Sheet. It also has a PDF app for reading or inserting handwritten annotations into PDF files.
Multi-Window convenience
Multi-tasking is another major advantage of tablets and the HUAWEI MatePad 11.5 PaperMatte Edition (2025) is no different. Its Multi-Window feature lets you open multiple app windows simultaneously, so you can easily drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste content from one app to another. You can also freely resize the windows according to your preference.
A more compact and portable body
Of course, there has to be more to a tablet to convince someone to pick it over a laptop. For most people, that would be 'portability'. Tablets are more compact, lighter, and slimmer than standard laptop computers, making them more convenient for outdoor use. This tablet is no exception, as it weighs a mere 515g and is ultra-slim at 6.1mm in thickness.
Despite being slim, the HUAWEI MatePad 11.5 PaperMatte Edition (2025) has a 10100mAh battery inside its 11.5-inch chassis. This is the largest battery of its class, capable of delivering up to 13+ hours of local video playback. It also supports 40W SuperCharge and wireless charging.
Comfortable viewing
Besides work, tablets are also good for entertainment. The HUAWEI MatePad 11.5 PaperMatte Edition (2025) sports a PaperMatte display capable of reducing visual fatigue. This is mainly thanks to a Circular Polarization Tech, which outputs light more uniformly to reduce the strain caused by the display's light.
This PaperMatte display is also certified TÜV Rheinland Low Blue Light without Flicker, SGS Gold Standard 2.0, and TÜV Rheinland Circular Polarization. If you plan to use this tablet regularly for long hours, then you can be assured that this display has taken enough measures to minimise eye strain.
More HUAWEI Notes support
Like other HUAWEI tablets, the HUAWEI MatePad 11.5 PaperMatte Edition (2025) comes with the useful HUAWEI Notes. As the name implies, this app is more for taking casual notes. However, you can use over 300 stickers, 120+ note covers, and more than 50 types of paper to make your notes more interesting.
Additionally, HUAWEI Notes allows you to use different brushes and pencils, or insert various media to enhance your notes. With the included HUAWEI M-Pencil (3rd Gen), handwriting notes is a breeze because of the almost zero latency. Don't like your own handwriting? No worries! The AI handwriting enhancement features can turn chicken scratches into elegant letters. HUAWEI Notes also has a Magic Memos feature for effortless note-taking.
An excellent upgrade
The HUAWEI MatePad 11.5 PaperMatte Edition (2025) is a solid option for those who want a work-focused tablet. It's a feature-rich device that even lets you paint with GoPaint, an app which has dozens of brushes. If you want a versatile, ultra-portable tablet with a PC-like experience, you can't go wrong with this one.
The HUAWEI MatePad 11.5 PaperMatte Edition (2025) is now available on the HUAWEI Malaysia website, Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok for RM1599 (8GB RAM with 256GB storage). If you pre-order one now, you'll also get bonuses worth RM698 (HUAWEI M-Pencil 3rd Gen + PC-level WPS Office).
