Huawei earlier launched its newest
learning and entertainment companion for the Philippine market—the MatePad
tablet. Huawei MatePad is the mid-range sibling of the MatePad Pro designed to
bring an immersive experience, fast performance, and smart features to
consumers with a tighter budget.
The tablet sports a metallic body in
Midnight Grey colorway and a 10.4-inch IPS screen with a crisp 2K 2000 x 1200
resolution. It has a 16:9:6 aspect ratio, 84 percent screen-to-body ratio, 470
nit brightness, and an anti-fingerprint coating solution. Under the hood, it is
loaded with a fast chipset, the Kirin 810 processor. It is a 7nm octa-core chip
with DaVinci NPU for AI tasks and Mali-G52 MP6 GPU with GPU Turbo technology.
It is paired with 4GB RAM, 64GB expandable
storage, and 7,250mAh battery with USB-C 18W fast charging solution. For
cameras, it highlights an 8MP main camera with AF and an 8MP selfie camera with
an ultra-wide-angle lens.
Huawei also added 4x Harman Kardon-tuned
speakers and 4x microphones. This should be great for doing video calls and
listening to music. To help you stay connected, the tablet comes with a
dual-band WiFi and 700MHz 4G LTE connectivity.
It runs with Android 10 OS with EMUI 10.1
skin. The tablet has its own education center with plenty of learning
resources, a feature that won't let its users be addicted to the tablet, TÜV
Rheinland certified eye comfort mode, monochrome e-paper like experience, and multi-window
support. It also has the Huawei MeeTime for up to 1080p high-quality video
calling between two Huawei devices even if internet connectivity is weak and
lighting condition is not that good. The tablet also supports the M-Pencil
stylus.
