Huawei’s Papermatte screens are some of the best we’ve seen in an Android tablet, and the MatePad Pro doesn’t disappoint, placing an OLED panel behind the anti-reflection coating for a best-of-both worlds combination that cuts reflections while remaining colourful and bright.

While this is a more expensive tablet than the similar MatePad 12X, it’s also lighter and slightly more powerful, and can come bundled with a keyboard case and stylus, both of which work instantly.
