Huawei’s MatePad Pro 13.2 (2023) is among the tablets receiving HarmonyOS 7.0.0.111 SP16, an update that adds support for the NearLink dedicated gaming connection feature, according to a November 13, 2026 report by IT Home.
The feature lets a supported tablet establish a dedicated NearLink connection with a Huawei router that also supports it. Huawei says this can improve gaming smoothness and stability; the report does not provide independent performance measurements.
The connection still depends on Wi-Fi: the device must be connected to the corresponding router’s Wi-Fi network before it can establish the NearLink connection. Huawei lists the 2023 MatePad Pro 13.2 as supporting NearLink E1.0. Its Q7 powerline router, announced on June 1, 2026, is one router with the dedicated gaming connection feature.
