Huawei MatePad 12 X: Work, study, create anywhere


Take your ideas anywhere: the HUAWEI MatePad 12 X blends work, study, and creativity in one tablet. Lightweight, slim and long-lasting, the HUAWEI MatePad 12 X keeps up with your day, from work tasks to creative projects, without slowing you down.

AS work, study and creativity increasingly happen on the go, tablets are being tasked to do more than ever before.

Many students and working adults may begin a typical day with typing up a report in the morning, annotating slides in the afternoon and unwinding with a bit of sketching or streaming at night, often across multiple devices.

Tablets have long promised flexibility, but the challenge has been finding one that can keep up with PC-level tasks without feeling bulky or compromised.

The HUAWEI MatePad 12 X (2026) steps into that space, aiming to offer a more complete ‘work-and-create-anywhere’ experience.

Combining PC-level WPS Office 3.0, an Ultra-Clear PaperMatte Display and the latest HUAWEI M-Pencil Pro, it is designed for users who want desktop-style efficiency in a lighter, portable form.

Your portable office

With PC-level WPS Office 3.0, users can access familiar Word, Excel and PowerPoint interfaces, making it easier to transition from a laptop without relearning workflows.

Tasks such as editing charts with embedded data, inserting documents as links or attachments, and using more advanced Excel mathematical functions can be done directly on the tablet.

LaTeX formula editing support and optimised pivot tables allow precise insertion of complex formulas into reports, presentations, or academic papers, saving time and avoiding cumbersome workarounds. Perfect for students, educators and professionals working with technical or mathematical documents.

Paired with the HUAWEI Smart Magnetic Keyboard, which offers 1.5mm key travel and over 40 shortcut keys, along with an optional wireless mouse and the HUAWEI M-Pencil Pro, the HUAWEI MatePad 12 X supports extended typing and multi-tasking, delivering a desktop-like experience straight out of the box.

Sharp details easy on the eyes

One of the tablet’s defining features is its 12-inch Ultra-Clear PaperMatte Display, which reduces screen glare by up to 50% for a smoother, more paper-like reading and writing experience.

Anti-reflection and anti-glare nano-texture layers block up to 99% of ambient light, while anti-fingerprint and eye-comfort features support long hours of use.

With specifications that include up to 1,000 nits brightness, a 144Hz refresh rate, UHD resolution (2800 × 1840), P3 colour gamut and HDR Vivid support, the display offers crisp visuals and vibrant colours whether you are working, watching videos or drawing.

It has also been awarded multiple eye-care certifications, including TUV Rheinland (reflection, low blue light and flicker-free) and SGS low visual fatigue certification.

Pen with purpose

For note-takers and creatives, the HUAWEI M-Pencil Pro offers a highly responsive, paper-like experience.

It has three versatile tips: a writing tip for fatigue-free note-taking, a small-font tip for crisp precise detail and a painting tip for detailed strokes.

With over 10,000 pressure levels, the stylus detects subtle pressure variations, translating them into precise lines on the screen.

Thanks to NearLink wireless technology, the connection between stylus and tablet is ultra-fast and interference-resistant, making every stroke smooth and on point. The stylus attaches magnetically for wireless pairing and charging.

Convenient features include a Star Ring button for quick app access and a pinch gesture that opens a radial menu, giving fast access to tools for notes, sketches and creative projects.

Tools for your ideas

For everyday productivity, HUAWEI Notes offers complimentary access and a range of customisation options: over 130 covers, 60 paper styles and localised stickers such as batik patterns and food illustrations.

Advanced tools such as colour-change lasso, Notes Replay, handwriting search and AI-powered handwriting enhancement make organising and editing notes effortless.

Content can also be imported, exported and saved as favourites for quick reference.

For doodlers, digital artists and creative professionals, GoPaint offers over 100 true-colour brushes and realistic canvas textures, all without a subscription.

Features like AI-generated colour cards and gesture-based brush rotation help users experiment with different styles, from casual sketching to professional illustration and animation.

Power without the bulk

Despite its productivity focus, the MatePad 12 X remains highly portable. Measuring just 5.9mm thin, it is easy to carry.

And the complete bundle, which includes the tablet, keyboard and stylus, weighs 863g, making it lighter than many comparable tablet-keyboard setups.

Powering the device is a 10,100mAh battery that supports up to 14 hours of local video playback, 12 hours of browsing or eight hours of intensive learning.

With 66W SuperCharge, the tablet can be fully charged in around 85 minutes. Connectivity is enhanced by Wi-Fi 7 and NearLink, ensuring faster, more stable and more reliable connections for multitasking or creative work.

One tablet, many roles

For users looking to combine PC-style productivity with the flexibility of a tablet, the HUAWEI MatePad 12 X 2026 offers a balanced all-in-one solution.

Its paper-like display, desktop-level office tools, intelligent stylus features and lightweight design make it ideal for work, study and creative expression anywhere.

The HUAWEI MatePad 12 X is available from RM2,499, with the HUAWEI Smart Magnetic Keyboard included in the box.

Pre-orders come with complimentary gifts worth up to RM1,047, including the HUAWEI M-Pencil Pro (RM599), HUAWEI Mouse (RM149) and PC-level WPS Office 3.0 (RM299), while stocks last.
