Huawei MatePad 11.5 S (2026) Tablet Review with M-Pencil 3 and Smart Magnetic Keyboard

Huawei's MatePad 11.5 S (2026) updates the 2024 model, launching in Singapore on 3 April 2026 at SGD 648 (approximately USD 508). The tablet includes 12GB RAM, 256GB storage, an M-Pencil Pro, and a Smart Magnetic Keyboard. Specifications show minimal changes: dimensions remain 261.0 × 177.3 mm with thickness reduced from 6.2 mm to 6.1 mm, weight increases slightly from ~510 g to ~515 g. The 11.5-inch LCD display retains 144 Hz refresh rate, 2800 × 1840 resolution, 87% screen-to-body ratio, 1500:1 contrast, P3 color gamut, 500 nits brightness, and 10-point multi-touch. The reviewer notes confusion among Huawei's numerous MatePad models, having accidentally purchased a MatePad 11.3 (2023) instead of the intended 2024 version. Availability begins in April 2026.
