Is the PaperMatte screen enough to become an advantage for Huawei to compete with iPad and Android tablets in the same segment, or is the software ecosystem still the deciding factor?
Huawei has officially introduced Huawei MatePad 11.5 2026 in the Indian market. This is one of the company's new tablet models, focusing on the needs of learning, working and entertainment with an anti-glare PaperMatte screen, large battery life and a removable keyboard to support productivity. Information confirmed from Huawei and its official product page.
The highlight of the product is the 11.5-inch IPS screen, 2456 × 1600 resolution equivalent to 2.5K standard, 120Hz scan frequency. The PaperMatte version uses surface treatment technology to reduce light reflection, supporting reading documents and writing with a pen in well-lit environments. Huawei also said that the device is equipped with a typical battery capacity of 10,100mAh, 40W fast charging, 4-speaker system and runs HarmonyOS.
Huawei has not announced that this model will be officially distributed in Vietnam.

Compared to many tablets in the same price range, Huawei continues to focus on anti-glare display experience and battery life. However, users also need to consider Huawei's software ecosystem, especially if they regularly use Google services, as compatibility will be different from many popular Android devices.
