Large tablets are quickly becoming laptop replacements for working on the go. While laptops still offer more, there's no denying the flexibility and portability a tablet can bring. With the HUAWEI MatePad Pro 12.2" (2025), business folk and professionals have another solid device for work and productivity.
But what does it offer and can it convince you to switch from your laptop? Read on to find out.
Innovative keyboard design
For most people, a small Bluetooth keyboard is rarely enough. Fortunately, the HUAWEI MatePad Pro 12.2" (2025) is paired with a feature-rich HUAWEI Glide Keyboard. Not only does this compact keyboard have all the relevant keys you need, but it also has a touchpad and a stylus for work requiring more precision. Additionally, it's stain-resistant thanks to an exclusive skin-friendly material with premium texture.
The keyboard has an innovative design, as it embeds the stylus in a hidden magnetic slot. Here, the HUAWEI M-Pencil (3rd Gen) can be tucked away when not in use. The keyboard also features Nearlink Technology for stable connectivity, plus multiple configurations via its PC and creative mode.
PC-level productivity
Speaking of PC mode, the HUAWEI MatePad Pro 12.2" (2025) can definitely replace one. Unlike most mobile apps, the PC-like WPS Office UI has a full set of upper and lower toolbars filled with functions typically seen in a desktop office software suite. In other words, you won't miss out on the important features. You can even see the mouse icon, which really helps with precise interaction and control of the WPS Office apps.
PC-level WPS Office has several apps for productivity. You can use Doc for typing documents, Sheet for drafting spreadsheets, and Slide to create presentation slides with little hassle. WPS Sheet is even useful for collating data, as it lets you organise complex data with Pivot tables and generate different charts with the Chart function.
As a whole, WPS Office is called a PC-level software suite because of its robust functionality. You can open multiple files, live multitask with multiple apps, connect to a large monitor, unzip large compressed files, and more. Not only is the UI similar to a desktop office suite, but so is the user experience.
Top-tier display
Of course, this tablet isn't merely a workhorse. When you're not busy with work or want to take a break, you can also use the HUAWEI MatePad Pro 12.2" (2025) to watch videos or play games with the 2.8K resolution 144Hz refresh rate screen. This anti-glare PaperMatte display delivers vibrant colours and clear visuals without the annoying glare from reflections affecting your viewing experience.
Its 92% screen-to-body ratio and notch-free design make the screen feel truly immersive for all types of content. The PaperMatte display also has that paper-like texture, so it feels like you're writing or drawing on real paper. On top of that, the screen uses HUAWEI's Anti-Sparkle tech to eliminate screen flicker and reduce eye fatigue. The tablet is also TÜV Rheinland-certified and has SGS Low Visual Fatigue certification.
But that's not all! The HUAWEI MatePad Pro 12.2" (2025) also features a new dual-layer Tandem OLED Papermatte display, which offers a peak brightness of 2000 nits. That's impressive for an OLED display, as it lets users enjoy a perfect view of the screen in any lighting condition. The dual-layer design also gives the screen 3x the lifespan of traditional OLEDs and 33% lower power consumption.
Excellent stylus support
As mentioned, the HUAWEI MatePad Pro 12.2" (2025) features a HUAWEI M-pencil (3rd Gen). This stylus has Nearlink connectivity for ultra-low latency, so your work is never interrupted. Additionally, its 10000 levels of pressure sensitivity make it incredibly smooth for writing, drawing or sketching.
With this tablet, HUAWEI also introduced some interesting new features in key apps to help with creative tasks. HUAWEI Notes now features an AI Handwriting Enhance feature, which can fix your terrible handwriting or change it to a specific font. Its content store also has more personalised covers, templates, and stickers to spark creativity. Furthermore, a Magnifier and Lasso tool were added to help with the creative process.
For people who love drawing, the GoPaint app is back with frame-by-frame animation tools and a new 3D Oil Painting Brush. Also, artists can use the Splatter Brush, Fluid Brush, True-Color Brush, or over 150 other preset brushes to put their imagination to canvas. Speaking of that, GoPaint supports canvases of up to 8K resolution.
Time to switch, maybe?
As you can tell, HUAWEI MatePad Pro 12.2" (2025) is fully capable of replacing the laptop as your work companion. It's super lightweight at less than 1kg (tablet+keyboard) and has a large 10100mAh battery for longer hours of use. The lighter body and longer battery life make the tablet a great device for portable use.
Whether you're a busy professional always on the go or an artist looking to flex your creative muscles, you'll want to check out this powerful device. It's a PC, artboard and a tablet - all in one compact and sleek body! Interested? The HUAWEI MatePad Pro 12.2" (2025) is now available for RM3599 via the HUAWEI Store, Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok.
