HUAWEI unveils the pre-order details for its flagship tablet known as the MatePad Pro Max in the Philippines.

HUAWEI MatePad Pro Max

HUAWEI's most premium tablet yet?

HUAWEI has introduced its new large-screen flagship tablet, the MatePad Pro Max, positioning it as a 4-in-1 device built for mobile productivity and creative work.

The tablet is built around a full-metal unibody with HUAWEI's Cloud Falcon Architecture, allowing it to reach a thickness of 4.7mm at its slimmest point. The standard edition weighs 499 grams, while the PaperMatte Edition weighs 509 grams.

Ultra-thin form factor

HUAWEI states the design improves bending resistance by 60 percent compared to its previous generation, a result that earned the device the industry's first TÜV Rheinland Ultra-Thin Bending Resistance Certification. 

The tablet is available in a Blue PaperMatte model featuring a luminous back panel with a nano-scale coating that produces a rippled, light-reflective effect across the metallic surface.

PaperMatte technology

HUAWEI says it applies a nano-level etching process said to improve clarity by 20 percent and reduce glare; it carries the TÜV Rheinland Full Care Display 5.0 Certification for eye comfort.

The MatePad Pro Max is equipped with a 13.2-inch flexible OLED display offering 3K resolution, a peak brightness of 1,600 nits, and a 144Hz refresh rate. 

Meanwhile, the screen also features ultra-slim 3.55mm bezels and achieves a 94 percent screen-to-body ratio. 

The tablet reportedly runs on an unnamed processor paired with 12GB of RAM and storage options of up to 512GB.

Power comes from a 10,400mAh battery rated to deliver up to 14.5 hours of video playback. Charging is supported via USB-C 66W wired SuperCharge and also has 40W fast reverse wired charging.

For photography and creative work, the MatePad Pro Max carries a 50MP True-to-Color rear camera. 

The brand also highlights the GoPaint app's Intelligent Color Card and new Fluid and Splatter brushes, along with HUAWEI M-Pencil Pro support; the camera allows users to sample real-world colors directly onto a digital canvas.

The tablet also supports Live Multitask, letting users run up to three apps simultaneously in select applications. 

Furthermore, it features the HUAWEI Notes app, which includes AI tools that can convert handwriting into text and solve math equations written on documents, as well as an upgraded Gallery app with AI-powered photo editing tools. 

It also comes with a FREE HUAWEI Glide Keyboard, weighing 439 grams, which connects via a magnetic flexible hinge and includes a hidden slot to store and charge the stylus.

The pre-order freebies

The MatePad Pro Max works with the HUAWEI AppGallery ecosystem, giving users access to productivity and creative applications, including WPS Office and GoPaint.

The tablet runs HUAWEI's software platform with upgraded PC-Level WPS Office and a new WPS AI suite that can suggest topics, refine text, and extract key points for presentations.
