Abstract: On the face of it, the MatePad Pro faces the same problems as the Huawei P40 Pro Plus. Thanks to the US trade sanctions, it doesn't have access to Google's apps, Play store or services – and many popular apps rely upon the latter.However, the types of...
Lovely hardware design,M-Pen and keyboard support is useful,Great display,Solid battery life
App support remains an issue due to no Google Play Services,Camera quality isn't great
The Huawei MatePad is a great-looking tablet with lots of power, a strong feature set, and slinky screen bezels.But you don't get Google Play on this Android tablet - it's Huawei's App Gallery instead - which may mean you can't access some of your most-wa...
Powerful hardware, Robust lightweight design, Clever charging features
Limited software functionality, No headphone jack, Accessories are just okay
There are several reasons to love the MatePad Pro - powerful innards, zippy performance and a gorgeous screen, all packed in a svelte form factor. It's got all the makings of the best Android slates out right now, but an obstructed software experience mea...

Limited app availability, Mediocre camera

It's a neat trick, but I still can't get past the disquieting feeling that a couple of well-supported apps doesn't make up for the loss of thousands of others thanks to the missing Play Store.The United States' foreign policy isn't Huawei's fault, of cour...
The MatePad Pro is a hard bit of kit to judge. On the one hand, the hardware is impressive: the 10.8in display is detailed, bright and crisp, there's enough power under the hood to power even the most demanding apps and games and the optional M-Pencil/Key...
Only tab with wireless charging, Thin, light, stylish, Powerful
Google software limitations, Plastic back, Occasional UI gremlins
Until Huawei sorts out all things Google-related, how great its Android phones and tablets will be in the real world is going to massively come down to each individual user. Its tablets, however, can get away with no Google better than phones, given the...

Fast,Elegant design,Wireless charging
No Google apps,High price due to 5G
The case for 5G tablets is as yet, unproven, but by getting in early Huawei will certainly gain some fans. The lack of Google apps aside, this is a superb Android tablet...
Until Huawei sorts its app store story out, we can't be anything but sceptical as to how great its Android phones or tabs will be in the real world (unless you're happy to hack Google Play Services on them like we did with our Mate 30 Pro). We used the M...
