On July 24, at the Huawei MatePad flagship new product launch event, the new HUAWEI MatePad Pro 12.2-inch was officially released. This tablet continues the productivity and creativity genes of the HUAWEI MatePad Pro series while bringing an experience upgrade that better meets user needs.
The HUAWEI MatePad Pro 12.2-inch is fully equipped with HarmonyOS 5, which not only brings a more professional software ecosystem, more efficient interaction methods, and smarter AI features, but also comprehensively upgrades creation tools such as the "Heavenly Artist" app and HUAWEI Notes. In terms of hardware, the new product is equipped with a dual-layer OLED cloud-clear soft light screen, which is anti-glare, eye-friendly, and displays clearly. It is compatible with the new generation of stylus - HUAWEI M-Pencil Pro, offering smart interaction and convenient operation, covering multiple scenarios such as mobile office and professional creation, further breaking through the usage boundaries of tablet computers.
According to data released by market research institution IDC, in the first quarter of this year, the shipment volume of the Chinese tablet market reached 8.52 million units, an increase of 19.5% year-on-year. Among them, Huawei held a shipment share of 34.5%, ranking first, leading the second place Apple by 12 percentage points.
Completely equipped with HarmonyOS 5
The HUAWEI MatePad Pro 12.2-inch has launched several HarmonyOS computer applications, which not only reproduce the desktop interface layout and core functions in a 1:1 manner, but also achieve a smooth and fluid operation experience. WPS Office focuses on daily office scenarios, not only reproducing the desktop interface layout and document editing capabilities, but also supporting AI-generated PPT, AI typesetting, and AI formula writing, providing users with a more intelligent and efficient productivity experience. Cross-device interoperability and cross-device copy-paste make information transmission more efficient, making it easy to adjust plans and make reports, with seamless material retrieval. The MindMaster (formerly Yiyi MindMaster) further meets users' needs for organizing thoughts and recording inspiration, replicating a desktop-level UI interface, and supporting AI-generated mind maps and conversion from mind maps to PPT, allowing ideas to be quickly realized.
In the field of video editing, the professional version of CapCut has been launched for tablets for the first time, bringing a dual experience of "professional and easy to use." The interface layout is intuitive, with all content displayed on full tracks at a glance. Basic operations such as one-click splitting, frame-by-frame, and reverse play are easy to meet daily needs; professional tools such as curve speed change, music timing, and voice recognition further improve editing efficiency. Combined with a rich material library, video editing can also achieve personal expression on tablet devices. In the field of professional design, Zhongwang CAD also performs well. Combined with the excellent hardware performance of the HUAWEI MatePad Pro 12.2-inch, users can smoothly view drawings and collaborate across devices on the tablet, and complete various complex design tasks through keyboard and mouse operations.
In addition, the new product supports professional applications such as Wondershare Diagrams (formerly Yiyi Diagrams), Haitai Browser, Sunflower Remote Control, Stone Ink Document, and desktop file management, truly achieving a comprehensive and stable professional ecosystem.
Aside from professional applications, HarmonyOS 5 also brings a smarter productivity experience. Xiaoyi supports intelligent split-screen function, automatically identifying local documents, and generating summaries with one click. The screen identification conversation function allows users to directly ask Xiaoyi questions about content on the screen to get results, and combined with the stylus, users can directly circle Xiaoyi for instant Q&A.
On this basis, the new product's interactive experience has also been upgraded. Innovative functions such as free multi-window and panoramic multi-window allow four applications to be displayed in the foreground and switched freely. When writing reports or searching for information, multiple windows can be opened and applications can be switched in an instant, smoothly and effortlessly. Combined with HarmonyOS computers and HarmonyOS phones, users can also experience keyboard and mouse sharing and hand-eye coordination functions, easily operating multiple HarmonyOS devices with a single keyboard and mouse, making cross-device office connections smoother.
天生会画App and HUAWEI Notes are renewed
Surrounding the creation scenario, the HUAWEI MatePad Pro 12.2-inch has significantly upgraded the "Heavenly Artist" app. The new three-dimensional oil painting brush can simulate the pigment accumulation effect of real watercolor and acrylic on paper texture, and the brush stroke is almost identical to the real oil painting texture. The new animation function allows the painting to come alive with simple operations, and the speed between frames can be adjusted, adding visible vitality to otherwise static digital paintings.
Besides, the "Heavenly Artist" app also launched the hand-brush collaboration function, making it easier to adjust brushes and pick colors with both hands. A user community was added, where users can download custom brushes from the resource center for their own creations, or publish their works in the community to interact with other users, making creation more interesting.
The newly upgraded HUAWEI Notes also brings more intelligent, efficient, and fun features. After setting in advance, the handwriting will automatically activate real-time AI character adjustment during writing, making the notes more beautiful. The infinite note feature allows users to not pre-set canvas size, with the canvas automatically expanding wherever the note content extends, so that inspiration recording is not restricted. In addition, HUAWEI Notes also supports cross-end collaboration, enabling users to call up documents taken or scanned from other devices and directly edit and adjust them, making the recording process simple and efficient.
HUAWEI M-Pencil Pro, Smart Experience Ahead of Time
To create a smarter and more efficient productivity experience, Huawei has introduced the new generation of stylus - HUAWEI M-Pencil Pro. While continuing its一贯 simple design, it adds a smart key at the end of the pen and a breathing light with the HarmonyOS star ring design, integrating smart functions and convenient interactions.
The HUAWEI M-Pencil Pro introduces an AI function quick access for the first time. Clicking the button at the end of the pen activates Xiaoyi, allowing users to open applications, inquire about schedules, and issue commands as needed. When there is an input cursor, double-clicking the smart key at the end of the pen enables the voice-to-text function, quickly inputting text and further enhancing the daily office and recording experience.
The new stylus creates a scenario-based interaction method. In the "Heavenly Artist" app and HUAWEI Notes, gently pinching the pen body quickly switches between pen shapes, color panels, and menus. Double-clicking the pen body allows switching between the pen and eraser, helping with efficient creation. In other interfaces, gently pinching opens a global wheel, directly accessing quick note-taking, one-click excerpt, global annotation, and Xiaoyi selection functions, making various operations one step away. Combined with the built-in micro motor in the pen body, providing vibration feedback, whether gently pinching, pressing hard, or double-clicking the pen body, clear tactile prompts are provided, making the interaction experience more natural and vivid.
The HUAWEI M-Pencil Pro also offers a professional painting experience, supporting 16384 levels of pressure sensitivity, capable of sensing all changes in force from light strokes to heavy coloring, and combined with the new side rotation function, the brush rotates synchronously with the stylus, making creation more realistic and natural. In addition, users can replace the painting tip, micro-writing tip, and writing tip according to different scenarios, truly achieving "specialization in one's field."
Besides, the new stylus includes the Starlight precise location function. Users can check the offline location of the stylus via the HUAWEI tablet or phone, supporting precise positioning within a 50-meter range, even marking specific floors, allowing users to bid farewell to the anxiety of losing it.
Flagship configuration is fully upgraded, unlocking new possibilities for creation and work
The HUAWEI MatePad Pro 12.2-inch continues the previous model's silk-like craftsmanship design, bringing a new "Feitian Blue" color and a more prestigious HarmonyOS star ring element. Combined with a lightweight body weighing 508g and a thickness of about 5.5mm, it combines refined texture with a lightweight feel. At the same time, the new product has achieved a comprehensive upgrade in core configurations such as the screen and performance, making mobile office and creation more efficient and flexible.
Regarding the screen, as the pioneer and leader of soft light display technology, Huawei has always used innovative technology to break industry boundaries. This time, the HUAWEI MatePad Pro 12.2-inch is equipped with a dual-layer OLED cloud-clear soft light screen, which brings a peak brightness of 2000nits and an ultra-high contrast ratio of 2,000,000:1 through an innovative dual-layer OLED architecture. The new AI Pixel optical engine calibrates each screen individually, improving color uniformity by 30% compared to the previous generation. Even in strong sunlight environments such as midday outdoors or summer beaches, the image details remain clear. Magnetic control optical coating and exclusive flash point elimination technology effectively improve light transmittance, reduce flash rate, and enhance screen clarity. Using nano-etching technology, 99% of environmental interference light on the screen surface can be eliminated, while also increasing the resistance during the writing process, restoring the paper-like writing experience.
In terms of performance experience, the HUAWEI MatePad Pro 12.2-inch is equipped with an innovative three-dimensional heat dissipation structure, which effectively reduces component temperatures, and compared to the previous generation, the overall performance can be improved by up to 30%, bringing a smoother operation experience. The 10100mAh large-capacity battery supports fast charging, and it can be fully charged in 55 minutes, ensuring no worries about power. The Huawei Yuezhang technology brings a more immersive and full sound performance, with powerful high notes and vibrant low notes. With the support of the Huawei Lingxi antenna and Wi-Fi 7 technology, network transmission is faster and more stable, eliminating the need to wait when downloading materials.
Besides, the HUAWEI MatePad Pro 12.2-inch also supports the Huawei Star Jump Keyboard, which adopts an industry-first pen-key integrated charging design. When painting outdoors or creating on the move, it can be placed and charged at any time, allowing users to focus on capturing inspiration.
