The Huawei MatePad 12 X looks modern and classy. It has a metal body, so it feels strong and not cheap. Even though it’s a big tablet, it’s very thin (only 5.9mm) and light (around 555 grams). That means it’s easy to hold or carry in your bag.
The edges are smooth, so it’s comfortable to use for a long time. It comes in two colors Greenery and White both look very stylish. Whether you are a student, teacher, or office worker, this tablet will look great in your hands.
Display – Big, Bright, and Beautiful
The main highlight is its 12-inch screen. The picture quality is very clear (2800×1840 pixels) and the screen is very smooth (144Hz refresh rate) — that means no lag when scrolling or watching videos.
It also gets very bright, so you can use it easily outside in sunlight.
There’s also a special PaperMatte version, which makes the screen feel like paper when you read or write. It doesn’t reflect light, so your eyes won’t hurt even after reading for hours. Students and artists will love this.
Performance – Fast and Smooth
Inside, the tablet has a Kirin T92B processor and 12GB of RAM. That means it runs very fast. You can open many apps at the same time without the tablet slowing down.
There’s 256GB storage, so you can save lots of videos, apps, and notes.
This tablet is great for:
- Students – to study, take notes, or attend online classes.
- Artists – to draw and design using the pen.
- Office people – to do work, attend meetings, and type documents.
- Gamers – to play games smoothly without lag.
No matter what you do, the MatePad 12 X works fast and without heating up.
Battery – Long Life and Fast Charging
Battery life is a big plus here. The tablet has a 10,100mAh battery, which can easily last a whole day with normal use.
If the battery runs out, don’t worry — it supports 66W SuperCharge. That means it charges very fast, much faster than most tablets. Just plug it in for a short time, and it’s ready to go again.
Camera – Clear for Video Calls
Tablets are not mainly for taking photos, but Huawei gave this one good cameras:
- 50MP back camera for pictures and documents.
- 8MP front camera for video calls and selfies.
The front camera is perfect for online classes or office meetings — your face will look clear and bright. The back camera is also good enough for scanning papers or taking simple photos.
Software – Easy and Smart HarmonyOS 4.3
The MatePad 12 X runs on HarmonyOS 4.3, Huawei’s own software. It’s easy to use and very smooth. You can:
- Open two or three apps at once on the same screen.
- Drag and drop things between apps (like photos or text).
- Connect your Huawei phone or laptop easily and share files quickly.
Everything feels simple and smart. Even if you are not tech-savvy, you’ll get used to it fast.
Sound and Internet – Great Audio, Fast Connection
The tablet has 6 speakers, which give a loud and clear sound. Movies, songs, or games all sound amazing.
It also supports Wi-Fi 7, which means very fast internet speed. Bluetooth 5.2 is also there, so you can connect wireless earphones or keyboards without any problem.
The USB Type-C port lets you charge or transfer data quickly.
Accessories – M-Pencil and Keyboard Make It Better
You can use two special accessories with the MatePad 12 X:
- M-Pencil Pro – This is Huawei’s smart pen. It’s very smooth to use for writing or drawing. It can sense small pressure changes (like a real pencil) and works with no delay. Artists and students will really like it.
- Smart Magnetic Keyboard – This turns your tablet into a small laptop. You can type easily, write assignments, or send emails. It also protects the screen when you close it.
These two together make the MatePad 12 X super useful for work and study.
Price and Value
The price of the Huawei MatePad 12 X (2025) is around €649.99 (about ₹67,000 in India) for the 12GB + 256GB model.
