Huawei MatePad Pro 11 Overview:

Design, Display

The MatePad Pro 11 flaunts a 11-inch display with a punch-hole cutout on the front. This is an OLED panel with a refresh rate of 120Hz, a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels, and a 16:10 aspect ratio.

Performance

For sheer power, the tablet comes with two different CPU choices: Snapdragon 888 and Snapdragon 870. However, regardless of which chipset you choose, you will have the option of up to 12GB of RAM and up to 512GB of ROM. The tablet also utilizes 3D graphene and a vapor chamber cooling for sustained performance during high workloads. It boots on Harmony OS 3.0, which brings a revamped multitasking interface and the ability to stack groups of widgets on top of each other to make the home screen seem less cluttered. The difference between these two chipset variants is in the charging aspect, since the top-of-the-line Snapdragon 888-powered device offers 66W fast charging and the  Snapdragon 870 one has a charging capacity of 40W. However you just get a 40W adapter in the box with a high-end model while the vanilla variant comes with a 22.5W adapter. The actual battery capacity on both models remains 8330mAh.

Rest of the specs

As for the optics, on the rear, there is a dual camera setup headlined by a 13MP primary module and an 8MP ultra wide lens. The front-facing camera has a resolution of 16MP. There are also a couple of accessories available for this tablet. The MatePad Pro supports Huawei M-Pencil that has been updated for improved grip, and a smoother writing experience. Along with it, you can also purchase the new magnetic smart keyboard which has 1.5mm key travel distance. It’s a detachable keyboard and you can adjust the kickstand from 120° to 165°. Interestingly, the keyboard case has a built-in antenna, which turns it into a “Wi-Fi amplifier” that helps in better signal reception. The keyboard and case will be bundled with some versions of the tablet and will be optional for others. For audio, it features a six-unit speaker with Huawei Sound support.
