Huawei has officially started selling the MatePad Pro Max in Germany, marking the European sale of the flagship tablet nearly two months after its global unveiling. Positioned as a premium productivity device, the MatePad Pro Max features an ultra-slim design, a high-quality OLED display, desktop-style software features, and integrated utilities aimed at professionals and creators.
The tablet starts at €1,099 for the Space Gray model, while the PaperMatte Edition with Glide keyboard costs €1,299. Huawei is also sweetening the deal with free accessories and an extended warranty for first-time buyers.
Huawei scores high for smallness and lightness
Huawei says the MatePad Pro Max is the world’s smallest and lightest tablet in its class. Measuring just 4.7mm at its thinnest point and weighing 499 grams in the standard model, the tablet is designed to be extremely portable without compromising durability.
Despite its thin profile, Huawei says this device is 60 percent more resistant to bending than its predecessor and is the first tablet to receive TÜV Rheinland Ultra-thin Bending Resistance Certification.
The front is dominated by a 13.2-inch Flexible OLED PaperMatte display with a resolution of 3000 × 2000, a refresh rate of 144Hz, and a maximum brightness of 1,600 nits. Huawei’s nano-level etching technology helps reduce glare and flicker, making the display more comfortable when used outdoors or under bright light. The 3.55mm thin bezels also contribute to an impressive 94 percent screen-to-body ratio.
Under the hood, the MatePad Pro Max runs HarmonyOS 4.3, which offers features such as Live Multitask, which allows users to work with up to 3 applications simultaneously. Huawei has also included a PC-like version of WPS Office complete with powerful AI tools for editing documents, spreadsheets, and presentations, positioning the tablet as a true alternative to a laptop.
Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, NearLink, and USB-C 3.1, while the 10,400mAh battery supports 66W fast charging and 40W reverse wired charging to power compatible accessories.
The optional Glide keyboard adds six rows of keys, 1.8mm key travel, and a built-in M-Pencil Pro charging port, further bolstering the tablet’s productivity credentials.
Buyers will get a free bundle
For consumers, Huawei is adding significant startup incentives. Customers who purchase the MatePad Pro Max through the Huawei Online Store or the company’s Berlin store before July 31 will receive an extended 12-month warranty, a free pair of FreeBuds Pro 4, an M-Pencil Pro, and a €100 discount voucher.
As Apple and Samsung continue to dominate the premium tablet market, Huawei is clearly betting that a combination of premium hardware, productivity-focused software, and generous presentation offerings will help the MatePad Pro Max stand out. While its lack of Google services may be a concern for some users, the tablet offers an attractive package for those already invested in the Huawei ecosystem or looking for a capable alternative to traditional laptops.
