3.7/5

Huawei MatePad Pro 10.8 5G, as the name suggests, is the 2019 year upgrade for the original MatePad Pro, which in itself is a great multimedia tablet. In this new avatar, you get a brighter display that offers more colour accuracy and longer viewing sessions, thanks to a large battery that keeps it powered. The battery also gets wireless charging for the first time, in addition to rapid wired charging. There is even a very slow reverse wireless charging feature, but it will be even slower than using a standard non-fast-charging charger, so we will not consider it a key feature. You also get a nice quad speaker setup that has been tuned by Harman Kardon for the best possible sound output.

Bottom Line

Huawei MatePad Pro 10.8 5G (2019) is a much-awaited update to the original MatePad Pro, which brings 5G connectivity to the mix, as well as wireless charging. The camera setup is still a disappointment, though.
