HUAWEI has officially launched the HUAWEI MatePad Pro Max in the Philippines, introducing its thinnest and lightest 13-inch+ tablet to date.

Local buyers can now pre-order the device for PHP 96,999 through August 19, 2026, with an inclusive freebie bundle valued at up to PHP 39,595.

Measuring just 4.7 mm thick and weighing 499 grams (509 grams for the PaperMatte Edition), the tablet incorporates the HUAWEI Cloud Falcon Architecture within a full-metal unibody.

The structural design increases bending resistance by 60%, making it the first device to receive the TÜV Rheinland Ultra-Thin Bending Resistance Certification.

Key Hardware Specifications

• Display: 13.2-inch 3K flexible OLED screen featuring a 144 Hz refresh rate, 1,600 nits peak brightness, 3.55 mm bezels, and a 94% screen-to-body ratio.
• PaperMatte Technology: Nano-level display etching that boosts image clarity by 20%, backed by TÜV Rheinland Full Care Display 5.0 Certification.
• Battery & Charging: 10,400 mAh battery offering up to 14.5 hours of video playback, paired with 40 W reverse SuperCharge capabilities.
• Camera System: 50 MP True-to-Color rear camera with real-world color sampling tools.

Software and Productivity Capabilities

The MatePad Pro Max functions as a 4-in-1 workstation supported by upgraded PC-Level WPS Office and a new WPS AI suite. The AI tools automate text refinement, generate topic suggestions, and summarize key points directly into presentations. Multi-device collaboration features enable instant file synchronization and real-time co-editing via shared links and access controls. Onboard multitasking options allow users to run up to three active apps simultaneously using Live Multitask.

For visual artists and digital note-takers, the upgraded Gallery features AI tools to fix facial expressions in group photos or remove unwanted objects. The pre-installed GoPaint software introduces an Intelligent Color Card, Fluid and Splatter brushes, and direct integration with the HUAWEI M-Pencil Pro. The HUAWEI Notes app adds instant handwriting-to-text conversion and document-based math equation solving.

Accessories and Pre-Order Details

The tablet pairs with the 439-gram HUAWEI Glide Keyboard, constructed from a high-strength alloy with second-generation wear-resistant keycaps. Its magnetic flexible hinge opens in a single motion and includes a hidden charging slot for the stylus.

Available in a Blue PaperMatte Edition (12GB RAM + 512GB Storage, Wi-Fi only), the HUAWEI MatePad Pro Max retails for PHP 96,999. The pre-order package running until August 19 includes:
