Huawei is gearing up to introduce its innovative tandem OLED technology globally through the new MatePad Pro 12.2, a device poised to compete with the latest high-end iPad Pro. Alongside this flagship tablet, the company plans to unveil an ultra-thin variant and its most advanced smartwatches to date.
With the introduction of the MatePad Pro 12.2, Huawei aims to challenge the new $1,199 iPad Pro 13. The tablet, which has previously been available only in China, promises a display that surpasses Apple’s device in brightness and potentially accelerates to a faster 144Hz refresh rate. Additionally, this cutting-edge screen could be among Huawei’s PaperMatte series, designed to offer a more traditional drawing experience when used with the M-Pencil 3 stylus, making it a compelling choice for creative professionals who enjoy using HarmonyOS-native applications like GoPaint.
Set to make its global debut on September 19, 2024, the MatePad Pro 12.2 will be accompanied by the updated Watch GT 5 and the health-focused Watch D2, which includes blood pressure monitoring features. Huawei has also teased the simultaneous launch of another new tablet, speculated to be a rebranded version of the Air (2024) for international markets.
Huawei’s latest advancements in tablet and wearable technology promise to bring significant competition to established market leaders, offering consumers more choices and potentially reshaping the tech landscape. Keep an eye out for further announcements as Huawei continues to push the boundaries of innovation.
