Huawei has begun selling the MatePad Pro Max in Germany, pricing the Space Gray model at €1,099 and bundling accessories and extended warranty for early buyers through July 31.
By the time it hits a Berlin storefront, the promise is already clear: this is Huawei’s thinnest, lightest flagship tablet—built for people who want laptop-style work without the bulk.
Huawei has officially started selling the MatePad Pro Max in Germany, its European retail debut. It comes nearly two months after the tablet’s global unveiling, and Huawei is pushing it as a premium productivity device aimed at professionals and creators.
The pricing is straightforward. The standard Space Gray model starts at €1,099. The PaperMatte Edition, bundled with the Glide Keyboard, costs €1,299. For shoppers who buy through the Huawei Online Store or from Huawei’s Berlin flagship store before July 31. Huawei is adding a package of incentives: a 12-month extended warranty. a free pair of FreeBuds Pro 4. the M-Pencil Pro. and a €100 discount voucher.
Huawei says the MatePad Pro Max is the world’s thinnest and lightest tablet in its class. At its thinnest point, it measures just 4.7mm, while the standard model weighs 499 grams—numbers Huawei highlights as a way to stay portable without sacrificing durability.
The company also leans on durability claims despite the slim frame. Huawei says the tablet is 60 percent more resistant to bending than its predecessor, and it is the first tablet to receive TÜV Rheinland Ultra-thin Bending Resistance Certification.
That front-and-center thinness is matched by a display Huawei positions as ideal for work. The tablet features a 13.2-inch Flexible OLED PaperMatte display with a resolution of 3000×2000. a 144Hz refresh rate. and peak brightness of 1. 600 nits. Huawei says nano-level etching technology helps reduce reflections and glare, making the screen more comfortable outdoors or under bright lighting. With slim 3.55mm bezels, Huawei also claims a 94 percent screen-to-body ratio.
Inside, the MatePad Pro Max runs HarmonyOS 4.3. Huawei highlights Live Multitask, which lets users work with up to 3 apps simultaneously. There’s also a built-in push toward office work: Huawei bundles a PC-like version of WPS Office with AI-powered tools for editing documents. spreadsheets. and presentations. framing the tablet as a laptop alternative.
Connectivity and charging are designed around daily-device expectations. The tablet includes Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, NearLink, and USB-C 3.1. Power comes from a 10,400mAh battery, with 66W fast charging. Huawei also includes 40W wired reverse charging for powering compatible accessories.
For buyers who want the tablet to behave more like a workstation, Huawei offers the optional Glide Keyboard. It adds six rows of keys, with 1.8mm key travel, plus a built-in charging slot for the M-Pencil Pro.
All of it lands in a market where Apple and Samsung continue to dominate premium tablets. Huawei’s bet is that combining ultra-premium hardware. desktop-style software features. and launch-time freebies can carve out space for the MatePad Pro Max. For some users. the lack of Google services may still be a sticking point—but Huawei is clearly aiming at buyers who either are already invested in its ecosystem or simply want a capable alternative to traditional laptops.

€1,099 for a tablet is wild.
So it’s basically like a laptop but lighter? Cool I guess. Why is it only in Germany though, like we can’t have nice thin stuff here.
I don’t get the hype about “thinnest” if it’s not even durable. Huawei says it’s 60% more resistant to bending but that sounds like marketing math. Also PaperMatte display… isn’t that just marketing for “less shiny”?
Wait, the Space Gray one is 499 grams? That’s like not much at all. But if it’s 4.7mm thick how do they not break the screen when you look at it wrong. I saw people talking about Huawei tablets being “spies” or whatever so I’m skeptical, but the 144Hz part sounds kinda gamer-ish? not sure.
