Huawei Malaysia has announced the launch of its latest premium tablet, the MatePad Pro 12.2, featuring a groundbreaking Tandem OLED PaperMatte display and exclusive digital batik creation tools. The device, aimed at creative professionals and tech enthusiasts, will be available for pre-order until October 11, 2024.

The launch of the MatePad Pro 12.2 represents Huawei’s continued commitment to innovation in the tablet market, particularly in addressing the needs of creative professionals while celebrating local artistic traditions through modern technology.

The standout feature of the new tablet is its 12.2-inch display, which boasts impressive specifications including 2000 nits peak brightness and a 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio. The PaperMatte screen technology has been specifically designed to reduce glare and eye strain, making it suitable for extended use in various lighting conditions.

In a notable collaboration with Malaysia’s premier arts institution, Akademi Seni Budaya Dan Warisan Kebangsaan (ASWARA), Huawei has developed specialized Local Batik Drawing tools within its GoPaint App. This feature allows users to explore traditional Malaysian batik art in a digital format, complete with custom brushes and a specialized ‘wax outlining’ tool that captures the intricate details of the traditional art form.

The device introduces an innovative HUAWEI Glide Keyboard with a unique 2-in-1 design that incorporates stylus storage and charging capabilities. The accompanying HUAWEI M-Pencil (3rd Gen) offers professional-grade precision with 16,384 levels of pressure sensitivity, while the keyboard’s magnetic dynamic hinge provides a smooth typing experience.

Running on Huawei’s HarmonyOS, the tablet supports seamless multi-tasking and cross-device collaboration. It comes equipped with a PC-Level WPS Office suite, transforming the device into a portable workstation capable of handling complex documents, virtual meetings, and digital artwork creation.

Despite its powerful features, the MatePad Pro 12.2 maintains a slim profile at just 5.5mm and weighs 508 grams. The tablet is available in two finishes: Premium Gold, featuring a distinctive Golden Silk Design achieved through optical coating, and classic Black.

The device is priced at RM4,599, and pre-orders are on from now until 11 October 2024 where early customers will receive complimentary accessories including the HUAWEI Glide Keyboard, M-Pencil (3rd Gen), and HUAWEI Bluetooth Mouse, valued at RM1,847. Pre-orders can be placed through HUAWEI Experience Stores and official online channels including Shopee and Lazada.

Coinciding with the launch, Huawei has announced the GoPaint Worldwide Creating Activity 2024, themed “Creative by Nature.” Running until 31 December 2024, the program invites digital artists worldwide to showcase their artwork on the HUAWEI Community platform, emphasizing the tablet’s role in fostering creative expression.

For sports enthusiasts, the watches offer more than 100 workout modes, ranging from basic fitness tracking to specialized activities like golf and trail running. The WATCH Ultimate (Green Edition), priced at RM3,799, takes durability to the next level with 100-meter water resistance, making it suitable for both diving expeditions and formal occasions.

In a strategic move to enhance its appeal to golf enthusiasts, Huawei has partnered with Deemples, Malaysia’s largest golf app. New WATCH GT 5 Pro and WATCH Ultimate owners can receive up to RM300 in vouchers for use through the Deemples app, redeemable from October 15, 2024, for purchases made between September 26 and November 30, 2024.
