The Huawei MatePad has been unveiled in China. The new tablet is a cheaper and less-powerful version of the MatePad Pro and is targeted at students.
Huawei MatePad specifications
The MatePad has a 10.4-inch 2000 x 2100 2K IPS display with moderately sized bezels of equal dimensions surrounding it. It has an aluminum frame and an aluminum backplate and is available in white and blue.
There is a Kirin 810 processor inside paired with 4GB or 6GB of RAM and 64GB or 128GB of storage. It also has support for storage expansion via a MicroSD card slot for up to an additional 512GB.
[envira-gallery id=”318848″]The Huawei MatePad has an 8MP selfie camera and an 8MP rear camera with autofocus and an LED flash. The camera app has lots of features including HDR and support for time-lapse photography.
There is a 7250mAh battery inside with support for 18W wired fast charging. The tablet comes in Wi-Fi (BAH3-W09) and LTE (BAH3-AL00) variants. It also has support for Huawei’s M-Pencil active stylus but doesn’t ship with one. It runs EMUI 10.1 based on Android 10 out of the box.
Features
Huawei has designed the tablet for learning and packs it with features to make it learning-friendly. The tablet is designed for both kids, teenagers, and adults and comes with content for all ages. There is a custom desktop mode that puts educational apps and content right in front of the user once the tablet is unlocked.
Another feature is the display which has a TÜV Rheinland certification. The tablet can automatically adjust brightness and contrast and also has a switch to activate a monochrome mode.
With the M-Pencil, owners can take notes just as they would with a regular pen and notebook. They can also draw, make sketches, and practice calligraphy.
Huawei says the MatePad has four speakers with Histen 6.0 and Harman Kardon Audio so users can clearly hear the voice of their tutors or whatever they are listening to. It also has four microphones that cancel out background noise and picks up the user’s voice when engaging with a tutor online.
Last but not least is the seamless integration between the tablet and the phone. This way, you can easily drag and drop content from one device to another. This feature is limited to devices running EMUI.
