Huawei has launched its latest tablet, the MatePad 12 X, in the Philippines.
Targeting professionals and creative users seeking a versatile mobile computing device, the MatePad 12 X offers a comprehensive set of features designed to challenge traditional laptop experiences.
New and noteworthy things about the MatePad 12 X
A highlight of the MatePad 12 X is its 12-inch PaperMatte display which isn’t seen on conventional tablets. Utilizing Nanoscale Anti-glare Etching Technology, the screen reduces glare and emits soft light, making extended use comfortable for users.
The display features an ultra-hydrophobic, oil-resistant film that resists fingerprints and optimizes touch responsiveness. This innovative screen technology ensures clear images with high resolution and vibrant colors, creating a paper-like writing experience that feels natural for note-taking and drawing.
The device’s hardware is equally impressive. Constructed with an all-metal body, the MatePad 12 X weighs just 555 grams and measures a slim 5.9mm in thickness.
Its Shimmery Pearlescent design in Metallic White offers a sleek, modern aesthetic that appeals to younger, style-conscious professionals. Despite its lightweight construction, the tablet packs a powerful 10,100 mAh battery that supports up to 14 hours of video playback, 12 hours of web browsing, and 8 hours of intensive learning on a single charge. The 66W HUAWEI SuperCharge technology allows for a full battery recharge in just 85 minutes.
The MatePad 12 X comes with a PC-level WPS Office suite, exclusively available on HUAWEI MatePad devices. This comprehensive office solution provides full-featured word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation tools that closely mirror desktop software. Users can format text, insert images, create tables, and utilize advanced spreadsheet functions. The multitasking capabilities allow users to run multiple applications simultaneously, such as keeping a spreadsheet open while referencing a presentation.
NearLink ecosystem
Connectivity between devices has always been a strong suit for Huawei and it has developed a robust ecosystem of accessories to enhance the tablet’s functionality.
The NearLink ecosystem includes two primary accessories: the 3rd generation HUAWEI M-Pencil and the HUAWEI NearLink Keyboard.
The M-Pencil offers low-latency and high-accuracy input, making it ideal for note-taking, sketching, and document annotation. The NearLink Keyboard transforms the tablet into a mini-laptop, featuring integrated shortcut keys and an ergonomic design that supports long writing sessions.
Creative users will appreciate the pre-installed software suite. HUAWEI Notes offers advanced note-taking capabilities, including preset templates, Note Replay (real-time audio syncing), and multi-note viewing. The HUAWEI GoPaint app provides over 150 professional brush types, including realistic textures like Ink Wash and Oil Painting. The company is even running a worldwide creating activity until December 31, 2024, with a $1,000 prize for artists.
Pricing in the Philippines
The Huawei MatePad 12 X is priced at PhP 37,999 and will be available through multiple channels, including Shopee, Lazada, TikTok Shop, HUAWEI Online Store, HUAWEI Experience Stores, and authorized dealers. A special launch offer runs until December 31, 2024, providing a bundle worth PhP 19,896.
