Alongside the Huawei Nova 15 smartphone series, the Watch 5 10th Anniversary edition, we also got to see the MatePad 11.5 (2026) at this launch event. The MatePad 11.5 (2026) closely resembles the 2025 model introduced in July, with changes limited to the processor and a small set of refinements.
The MatePad 11.5 (2026) features an 11.5-inch IPS LCD with a resolution of 2456 × 1600 pixels. The panel supports a refresh rate of up to 120Hz and reaches a peak brightness of 600 nits. Huawei is also offering a Soft Light Edition, which adds an anti-glare coating to the display. The MatePad 11.5 (2026) is available in Deep Space Gray, Frost Silver, Feather Sand Purple, and Island Blue.
Huawei ships the Soft Light Edition with the Kirin T82 chipset, while the standard version uses the Kirin T82B processor. Both variants run HarmonyOS 5.1, which includes several AI-powered features and Huawei’s AI Health Learning 2 system.
The tablet features a 13MP rear camera and an 8MP front-facing camera, ideal for video calls and selfies. Audio is handled through a quad-speaker setup.
Huawei has equipped the MatePad 11.5 (2026) with a 10,100mAh battery that supports 40W fast charging. Additional specifications include Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, and support for multiple speakers.
Pricing starts at $255 for the standard 8GB RAM and 128GB storage Wi-Fi model. The Soft Light Edition is offered in multiple configurations, including 8GB/128GB for $295, 8GB/256GB for $325, and 12GB/256GB for $395.
