Huawei first announced the MatePad Paper at the Mobile World Congress 2022. The e-ink tablet was later launched in China and has since gone on sale. The MatePad Paper was only available in a black-coloured variant. That has now changed as the Chinese tech giant has launched a white-coloured version of the MatePad Paper.
Compared with the black model, the white
model provides a silky velvet-like warmth and mellow feeling, which is softer
and brighter. The new model is now on pre-sale on Jingdong (JD.com) with a
discounted price of 2899 yuan (US$ 455). As a reminder, the Huawei MatePad Paper
is equipped with a 10.3-inch grayscale screen with a resolution of 1872 x 1404
pixels and an aspect ratio of 227 PPI. The tablet comes with low blue light, no
flicker, wide viewing angle, and sunlight-readable paper-like characteristics,
which can provide a more comfortable reading experience. It is also the world’s
first TÜV Rheinland paper-like paper. Shows certified ink flats.
The product provides functions such as split-screen
notes, handwriting-to-text, and voice-to-text, and effectively improves the
complex and slow input of text on ink screens, and the difficulty of page
switching. At the same time, Huawei MatePad Paper is equipped with the
second-generation M-Pencil stylus which supports 4096 pressure sensitivity, and
smooth follow-up. The optimal delay is only 26ms, and the writing is very
smooth.
As an e-book reader, the device packs
trimmed down bezels on the top, bottom, and right edges while the left edge is
slightly wider to give the outlook of a book that is opened. As a result of the
reduced bezels, the device features a screen-to-body ratio of 86.3%. In terms
of the processor, the MatePad Paper is powered by a Hexa-core processor paired
with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. The slate comes with WiFi 6+ and
Bluetooth 5.2 support.Huawei MatePad Paper e-ink tablet
Keeping the lights on is a 3625mAh battery
that is touted to deliver up to 28 days of battery life on standby. It also
comes with 22.5W fast charging which Huawei claims can deliver up to 6 days of
reading with just a 1.5-hour charge. It supports reverse charging. The device
also features fingerprint recognition as the power button doubles as the
sensor. In Europe, the tablet is available for € 499 while in China, it starts
at 2999 yuan (US$ 472) for the 4GB+64GB WiFi-only variant.
