Huawei MatePad Pro 12 (2026) Goes Global: Specs and Price

The Huawei MatePad Pro 12 (2026) has gone global, launching alongside a wave of new hardware at Huawei's September 2 "Chase the Wild" event in Munich. The tablet was first introduced in China in August and now lands in wider markets as one of the thinnest 12-inch tablets Huawei has built.

A 4.7mm metal body
The MatePad Pro 12 measures just 4.7mm thick and weighs 439g, wrapped in a metal unibody that keeps the tablet light enough for one-handed reading despite its 12-inch screen.

An anti-glare OLED display
The 12-inch flexible OLED panel uses Huawei's PaperMatte technology, a matte finish designed to cut glare and reflections for less eye fatigue during long reading or drawing sessions, at a resolution of 3,036 x 1,952 and 1,600 nits of peak brightness.

Kirin T93 performance
Power comes from Huawei's Kirin T93 chip, or the Kirin T93A in the Enjoy Edition, paired with 12GB of RAM and either 256GB or 512GB of storage, running HarmonyOS 6.1.

Battery and charging
A 10,400mAh battery backs the MatePad Pro 12, with 66W fast charging to top the tablet back up quickly between sessions. Camera duties fall to a 50MP f/1.8 rear sensor and a 12MP f/2.4 front camera for video calls.

Availability
Huawei confirmed the global rollout for September 2 in Munich, following the tablet's earlier China launch; regional pricing is expected to be announced market by market as the rollout continues.

Part of a wider Munich lineup
The MatePad Pro 12 shared the stage in Munich with the Huawei Nova 16s Pro phone, the Watch GT 7 smartwatch, and the FreeBuds Neo earbuds, all launching globally under Huawei's "Chase the Wild" campaign. Positioning the tablet alongside a phone, watch, and earbuds signals Huawei's push to sell a connected hardware ecosystem in markets outside China, not just individual devices.

Who the MatePad Pro 12 is for
The thin profile and matte anti-glare display point this tablet at buyers who read, sketch, or take notes for long stretches, where screen glare and device weight matter more than raw performance. The 66W fast charging and large 10,400mAh battery also make it a reasonable choice for travel, since it can go a full day of mixed use without needing a charger nearby.
