UAE, 27 April 2026 – Huawei today officially announced the retail availability of the HUAWEI MatePad Mini in the United Arab Emirates. The brand-new compact tablet from Huawei is designed for both portability and performance. Featuring an 8.8-inch OLED PaperMatte display and an ultra-lightweight chassis, the MatePad Mini slips effortlessly into your pocket while still handling reading, work, creating, and entertainment. It offers a screen larger than a smartphone for more detail, while remaining more portable than a full-sized tablet, making it perfect for one-handed use.
Designed to be light in hand, the MatePad Mini weighs just 260 g and measures a mere 5.1 mm in thickness. Its magnesium alloy body is 20% lighter than standard aluminum and is reinforced with high-strength steel to ensure the device remains durable and resistant to bending, making it an ideal companion for travel and daily commutes.
The 8.8-inch OLED PaperMatte Display eliminates 99% of ambient light interference, providing a glare-free viewing experience similar to actual paper. Despite its compact size, the tablet offers a high-resolution canvas with 1800 nits peak brightness for outdoor visibility and a 120 Hz refresh rate for fluid navigation.
The MatePad Mini supports the HUAWEI M-Pencil Pro, which features a built-in micro-motor for tactile vibration feedback. Combined with the upgraded HUAWEI Notes app, users can experience AI Handwriting Enhancement, which helps refine handwritten text for better legibility while maintaining personal character.
Beyond its reading and writing capabilities, the tablet features a 32 MP front camera for high-definition video conferencing and a 50 MP rear camera for detailed photography. The device is powered by a 6400 mAh battery, supporting up to 9.5 hours of use and featuring a Turbo Mode that enables a full 0–100% charge in just 60 minutes.
