HUAWEI’s latest MatePad 13.2 Pro Max is a flagship product designed for high-end creation and mobile office needs. As the brand’s largest global tablet to date, this new machine is not only equipped with a 13.2-inch large screen with excellent visual effects, but also delivers outstanding results in terms of body thickness and weight control. Combining the upgraded PaperMatte soft-light screen technology with a series of exclusive accessories, this time we will test the actual operating experience of the tablet to see if it can provide users with a highly practical choice!

In terms of appearance design, HUAWEI MatePad 13.2 Pro Max shows a very mature industrial design level. The fuselage adopts an all-metal integrated molding process, and a unique starlight sand treatment is added to the back, which will show delicate color changes under the refraction of light, while providing a matte touch that is anti-slip and not easy to stain fingerprints.

▲ The package is equipped with a 100W output fire cow and a USB charging cable. In addition, MatePad Pro Max has a built-in 10400mAh battery and supports up to 40W wired reverse charging. Official data shows that it can play videos continuously for up to 14 hours on a single full charge.

▲ HUAWEI MatePad 13.2 Pro Max has a 13.2-inch screen but is quite lightweight

This large 13.2-inch tablet has a thickness further reduced to 4.7mm and weighs only 509g. Its data is even similar to many 12-inch tablets. This design that combines a large screen with a thin and light design allows users to hold it for a long time or put it in a backpack for daily outings without feeling any obvious burden. The manufacturer also emphasized that the fuselage has passed strict bending resistance tests. According to actual tests, the overall structure is indeed quite strong, and the durability for daily use has not been sacrificed because of its thinness.

▲ 4.7mm thick enough to fit a USB-C port

▲ The back of the machine is equipped with a 50MP main lens group

In terms of screen performance, the front of the fuselage uses a 13.2-inch flexible OLED display with 3K high resolution and 144Hz screen refresh rate. The peak brightness reaches 1600 nits. It also adopts an extremely narrow symmetrical frame design, bringing a screen-to-body ratio of up to 94%. The PaperMatte version also adds nano-scale anti-glare etching technology to the glass surface. This technology greatly reduces screen reflections caused by ambient light, making the viewing experience outdoors or under strong light more comfortable. The six built-in speaker arrays can still output music with a wide sound field when watching streaming videos.

▲ The preset intensity activates the eye protection mode, and the blue light reduction is quite high when browsing the web.

▲ When playing YouTube videos, the screen ratio is quite high

In order to unleash the productivity of this large screen, HUAWEI has equipped it with a new Glide Keyboard case and M-Pencil Pro stylus. The Glide Keyboard adopts a multi-angle hinge design, with sufficient key travel and a hand feel close to that of a traditional laptop. However, it is a pity that it lacks a backlight function.

▲ Compatible with HUAWEI M-Pencil Pro stylus

In addition, the keyboard hinge hides a stylus storage slot and supports simultaneous wireless charging, effectively reducing the risk of losing the stylus. The new generation of M-Pencil Pro brings a low-latency writing experience through exclusive connection technology. The vibration motor built into the pen body can provide real-time tactile feedback when performing gesture operations such as zooming or rotating. Combined with the unique damping feel of the PaperMatte screen and the manufacturer’s own developed GoPaint drawing software, the overall writing and drawing experience is smooth and natural.

▲ HUAWEI M-Pencil Pro tip writing experience is good

▲ The screen stand is designed to be pulled up and down, and the tilt range is sufficient for daily use.

▲ 5-row island keyboard with large touchpad


▲The Hong Kong version of HUAWEI MatePad 13.2 Pro Max is preloaded with the EMUI 15 system, which takes up approximately 29.45GB of space after it is enabled.

▲Users can use the simple “microG” solution to smoothly use various Google applications without reinstalling the system.

▲ The color adjustment interface is similar to that of HUAWEI mobile phones

▲Performance part: MatePad 13.2 Pro Max is equipped with Kirin T93 Pro chip, Hong Kong version 12+512, bringing “Antutu” 1,742,239 points

In terms of system experience and overall performance, HUAWEI MatePad 13.2 Pro Max provides smooth multi-tasking capabilities, and the advantage of a large screen makes splitting screens and window management easier. Objectively speaking, the international version of the system can use a simple “microG” solution to smoothly use various Google applications without reinstalling the system. At the same time, the processor performance is not the highest on the market through specifications. However, for most word processing, drawing creation and daily entertainment, the system smoothness and reliable battery life are definitely enough to meet the needs of a full day of use. In summary, HUAWEI MatePad 13.2 Pro Max has successfully provided an option for users who value portability and creative experience with its thin and light appearance, comfortable soft-light screen technology and high-level exclusive accessories.
