Huawei MatePad Pro vs Apple iPad Pro: Specs Comparison

Nov 25, 2019

If you’re looking for a tablet that can double as a laptop, two of the best options are the iPad Pro and freshly-announced Huawei MatePad Pro. Both devices sport super-slim bezels, support for a pen, and a keyboard accessory that you may need for typing.

The Huawei MatePad Pro is the newer of the two devices, though you might be wondering how it stands up to the latest iPad Pro. In this guide, we’ll compare design, performance, and portability, and help you choose the right one for you.

Design

In terms of design, both iPad Pro and MatePad Pro are super slim and pack a large immersive display. There are some notable differences, however. First off, the bezels on the MatePad Pro are just barely slimmer all the way around on the top, left, right, and bottom sides of the device.

The iPad Pro is no slouch however, and you’d struggle to find anyone who would describe its bezels as chunky. Both feature very similar designs, and it’s not necessarily a bad thing. They’re both sleekly designed, and it’d be hard to find someone who’d complain about either design.

Display

The Huawei MatePad Pro comes with an 10.8-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels and DCI-P3 color gamut. With 4.9mm slim bezels around the display, the MatePad Pro promises a screen-to-body ratio of 90 percent. It features a punch-hole for the front camera as well.

The iPad Pro 12.9 has a 2,732 x 2,048 (264 PPI) LCD display with Apple’s ‘Liquid Retina’ LCD tech, which is nearly as sharp and colorful as a typical OLED display. Colours pop out very well and blacks, while not as deep as OLED displays, are still very good. In terms of specifications, both displays are very similar.

Connectivity

Next, there is a need to address connectivity, which is also different between the two tablets. On the iPad Pro, there is a single USB-C port, as well as a keyboard connector port and a nano SIM Slot. On the the MatePad Pro are Bluetooth and a single USB-C port. The MatePad Pro only has a sim slot and GPS on the LTE model however.

Both products lack a headphone jack, which means you’ll need to buy a dongle or use a newer pair of headphones.

Performance

In terms of performance, there’s quite a bit difference between the iPad Pro and the MatePad Pro. For the MatePad Pro, Huawei resorted to using their tried and trusted Kirin 990 SoC, which makes a lot of sense for them. The iPad Pro, meanwhile, sports a custom ARM-based Apple SoC, named the Apple A12 bionic.

Along with the Kirin 990, the MatePad pro also sports upto 8 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage. There is a nanoSD card slot onboard for expanding its storage, which is simply excellent, and it’s something the Apple simply doesn’t offer.

Now onto the iPad Pro. It sports the A12 Bionic processor. This has eight cores and also an embedded M12 co-processor, and it’s already well know for being one of the fast mobile processors around. The processor has been proven to be able to run editing programs and games like Civilization VI with no issues. No matter what you download from the app store, the iPad Pro will run it at breakneck speeds.

Software

Quite obviously, the iPad Pro is limited to apps in the App Store, as it is powered by iPadOS. We’d usually list this as a con, but the Huawei MatePad Pro may have it worse. Considering Huawei’s current position, the MatePad Pro, despite running Android 10, does not have GMS, which means all apps will come from Huawei’s App Gallery, limiting choices.

That said, it’s not all completely bad. There is a multi-screen collaborative feature on the MatePad Pro that allow users to clone the phone’s interface on its screen. This feature can be used to transfer files between the devices conveniently. The cloned phone on the MatePad Pro can be also used to answer phone calls and send/receive text messages. By connecting the optional keyboard, the tablet’s interface will switch to computer mode to offers users with a friendly desktop PC experience.

Battery

Now, for battery life. With the iPad Pro, Apple promises up to 10 hours of battery life, though we were able to push our iPad Pro through several days with a few hours usage at a time. The iPad Pro also supports fast charging, with the optional 30-watt USB-C Power Adapter.

Next, the Huawei MatePad Pro is equipped with a huge 7,250mAh battery that support 40W rapid charging. However, the device ships with 20W fast charger. There is also support for 15W wireless charging and 7.5W reverse wireless charging on the MatePad Pro.

Accessories

Huawei’s M-Pencil boasts a 10-hour battery life that can be wirelessly charged to full within an hour. The gadget features magnetic absorption and a sensitivity of 4096 which translates to an overall smooth and accurate writing experience. The stylus can be charged wirelessly by simply attaching to the device.

Perhaps the biggest upside to the M-Pencil however is that it’s essentially free with any MatePad Pro purchase. As a standalone purchase, the M-Pencil costs 699 yuan, or $99. That’s significantly less than the $129 Apple Pencil, which is functionally about the exact same as the Huawei alternative.

Finally, both 2-in-1’s sport an option for a keyboard cover. Apple’s Smart Keyboard comes in at the cost of $170. It’s fairly comfortable and has a lot of key travel, as we found in our review. However, there’s no touchpad on board. That holds it back from being a true laptop replacement. It also doubles as a stand, propping up the screen to up to two angles.

Feature-wise, the Huawei MatePad Pro is almost exactly the same as the iPad Pro’s. It features a similar keyboard layout, as well as the same stand prop on the back. Huawei MatePad Pro’s keyboard cover however is that it’s free with any purchase of the MatePad Pro. On its own, it’s 499 yuan or $71, significantly cheaper than Apple’s offering.

Pricing

For the Huawei MatePad Pro, the Wi-Fi only 8 GB RAM + 256 GB storage edition is priced at 4,999 Yuan (~$711) and its LTE enabled 8 GB RAM + 512 GB storage edition costs 5,999 Yuan (~$853). For the iPad Pro, prices begin at $799 for 11-inch model and $999 for the 12.9-inch model. The LTE iPad Pros cost $150 more than their base models.

Conclusion

Both these devices are excellent for what they are, but there are some pretty big distinctions to be made between them. The Huawei MatePad Pro is more affordable, comes with a slew of extra accessories and features equally excellent specs all around.

Where the Apple iPad Pro takes the upper hand however is in the OS and software. Huawei’s version of Android 10 is heavily gimped compared to standard Android, and it’s not really even close between it and Apple’s iPad OS. iPad OS isn’t as good as MacOS, but it’s one of the best productivity UIs for touch devices.

If you’re looking for a good deal when it comes to pricing, the Huawei MatePad Pro is probably the better option, but for sheer productivity we feel that the iPad Pro is still the better choice.

Huawei sues French critics who suggested company’s China state ties

Huawei has become a topic of discussion related to the national security risk and such discussions have sparked after the U.S. government put the Chinese giant on Entity List, effectively banning the company in the United States.

The reason behind the ban given was the national security risk without providing any type of proof to back that claim. Now it seems that Huawei is in no mood to tolerate such talks and is trying to curb the spread of such talks.

In an unprecedented move, China-based Huawei Technologies has filed three defamation claims in Paris over comments made during television programs by a French researcher, a broadcast journalist and a telecommunications sector expert. However, it’s not yet clear if the prosecutor will accept the claim and launch a formal investigation.

This was reported by La Lettre A, an online investigative newsletter and the company has also confirmed that it has filed such claims with French law enforcement authorities in March this year.

The development comes at a time when Huawei, the world’s leading telecommunications gear maker, is seeking to bid for a piece of the future 5G network in Europe’s second-largest economy and in countries like Germany.

In a statement, Huawei said that its claims “concern only statements that Huawei is a company controlled by the Chinese State and the Chinese Communist Party, led by a former member of the ‘counter-intelligence’ and using its technological expertise in telecom networks to commit acts of espionage against the Western world.” The company has also added that “these statements are false.”

Huawei is now resorting to legal measures as national security agencies in Europe and the US have signaled concerns over the potential risks of using the company’s equipment. It has also sued the U.S. government for barring its equipment from certain networks, a legal riposte to American accusations that it aids China in espionage.

CEO: Huawei would’ve surpassed Samsung in 2019 if not for the U.S. Ban

Huawei is one of the world’s most recognized electronics brands with gadgets ranges varying from everyday household products to smartphones, tablets, and laptops. Currently, the company is the world’s second-largest smartphone maker. However, being No. 2 isn’t enough for the company as Huawei’s CEO Yu Chendong said in an post-launch conference interview that the company was well on its way to become the world’s number one in 2019 if not for the U.S. Ban.

Earlier this year, the Chinese tech giant had its foreign operations crippled as the company was placed on the Entity List by the U.S. Commerce Department. This essentially blacklisted Huawei and banned American based companies like Google to have trade or business relations with the company. After being cut off from Google, the company lost Android OS (the primary OS found in its devices) and even its ARM-based chipsets that powered its devices.

Just prior to the ban, Huawei had managed to take the number two spot away from Apple as the largest smartphone brand in the world. So it is not farfetched to assume that Huawei had a real chance of snatching the top spot from Samsung as well.

According to Richard, Huawei would’ve been the world’s number one brand if not for the ban this year itself. Furthermore, he said that people falsely assume that the brand is popular due to China and the Chinese people being patriotic; and went on to further back this statement with Huawei M6 tablet which reportedly sold over 2 million units worldwide. The senior executive stated that the most important reason for achieving such results is user satisfaction and not patriotism.

Going Forward, Huawei is seemingly confident about its future. Its indigenously built HarmonyOS or HongMengOS is expected to arrive in 2020 whilst the company plans on expanding further in the European regions.

Nov 25, 2019

Huawei’s U.S. ban might have hampered its growth to some extent, however, the company still seems to be doing pretty well. At the Huawei MatePad Pro & MateBook D launch conference earlier today in China, Huawei’s Richard Yu revealed some interesting statistics about its recent models.

Huawei has shipped more than 7 million units of the Mate 30 series globally in the past 60 days. Considering how Mate 30 is still not available in most global markets, this is a pretty big deal. What’s more, this also marks a staggering 75% YoY increase in shipments for the Mate series. It’s very likely that a majority of the units were shipped within China.

Richard Yu also revealed that its Huawei Watch GT 2 is also doing well. The company managed to sell over 1 million GT2 watches in the past 45 days. Huawei reached this figure a solid 3 months ahead of last year’s Watch GT model. He also added that Huawei is now the largest watch manufacturer in China.

Huawei is also China largest tablet manufacturer in terms of market share right now, leading over Apple by a considerable margin. The company expects to sell around 2 million units of the Huawei MediaPad M6 by the end of 2019. And with the MatePad Pro, Huawei should further strengthen its position in China’s tablet market in the coming months.

The Huawei MatePad Pro comes with a large 10.8-inch punch-hole display, with Kirin 990 processor, a huge battery with 15W wireless charging as well as reverse wireless charging and a smart stylus with 4096 levels of pressure sensitivity. There’s a 5G version of the tablet coming in early 2020 as well.

Huawei’s smartphone sales in Europe remain flat YoY in Q3 2019, reveals Canalys report

By

Anvinraj Valiyathara

Nov 25, 2019

The latest Canalys report lends an overview of smartphone sales and the overall market share of global manufacturers in Europe. According to the report, Europe has recorded maximum sales volume in the third quarter of 2019, with shipments growing at an average rate of 8% year-on-year. It is interesting to note that Huawei comes in second place, right after Samsung, despite its failure to attain Google’s Google Mobile Service (GMS) certification.

Ever since the US trade ban, Huawei has been unable to get a GMS license for its Mate 30 series, hampering sales in the global market. Despite the supposed handicap, Huawei’s smartphone sales volume has rebounded by nearly 36.5% to 11.6 million units since the second quarter of 2019. Huawei sold 11.7 million units back in Q3 2018, and the difference is negligible.

According to the Canalys report, the surge came in primarily from Eastern and Central Europe, which recorded 26% growth as compared to the same period last year. Sales in Western Europe, however, declined by 17%. Samsung made the best possible use of this opportunity. While the difference in sales volume between the South Korean and Chinese tech giants were 3.1 million units in Q3 2018, the gap widened to 7.1 million units during the same period this year. Samsung recorded an annual growth of 26%, increasing its total market share to 35.7%.

Apple came in third recording a sales decline of 4% from Q3 2018, with a total of 9.8 million units. Xiaomi takes the fourth spot with significant growth of 73% year-on-year, with 5.5 million units being sold in Q3 2019, increasing its market share to 10.5%. Xiaomi’s growth is the direct result of the company’s aggressive expansion strategy in the region since last year. HMD Global takes fifth place by selling nearly 900k units, recording a market share of 1.8%. HMD’s sales declined by 21% since Q3 2018 when it sold 1.2 million units, recording a market share of 2.4%.

Canalys analyst Mo Jia explains that the situation in Europe is vastly different from the United States of America where the highest sales volume comes from network carriers. In Europe, however, the sales volume is evenly split between operators and open channels, i.e. showrooms that sell unlocked devices at full price. This is what makes Europe a lucrative business destination for Chinese smartphone manufacturers since the profit margins are higher on mid to high-end devices.

With the fragmented implementation of the 5G spectrum in 2020, numerous OEMs are expected to partner with network providers within Europe in a bid to sell their devices. The European market is expected to witness an invasion of mid to high-range smartphones in 2020.

Huawei M-Pencil Stylus launched with 10 hour battery life & wireless charging

Nov 25, 2019

Huawei has just announced its latest entry in the MatePad series, the MatePad Pro. As suggested by the name, it is the latest tablet from the company which will incorporate powerful specs to increase productivity and viability options for the device. And this leads to the introduction of the MatePad Pro’s new stylus, the M-Pencil. It is not a new innovative gadget but definitely one that will make the MatePad more viable for individuals in the creative fields and other professionals.

The tablet market has been a bit stagnated over the past few months with Apple and Samsung being the most popular options so far. Since WWDC 2019, Apple has taken a more standalone experience with its iPad series, so it comes as no surprise that others might have the same idea. Huawei’s MatePad Pro is being built around ‘functionality’ as its essence and in its core lies the M-Pencil stylus. During the conference, multitasking and the increased accessibility was prominently mentioned.

Huawei’s M-Pencil boasts a 10-hour battery life that can be wirelessly charged to full within an hour. The gadget features magnetic absorption and a sensitivity of 4096 which translates to an overall smooth and accurate writing experience. When the MatePad is not in use, simply tapping the screen with the tip of the M-Pencil will fire up the Huawei memo. This allows for a quick method to save or record important or daily aspects of one’s life.

Similar to the Apple Pen, the M-Pencil is also built around unique functionality and accessibility in mind. This was highlighted through the use of various different applications like WeChat app being run in parallel view via the UIKit to showcase the multi-window capabilities of the device. The MatePad Pro runs the latest EMUI 10 software and is powered by the Kirin 990 SoC paired with 6/8GB of RAM and 128/256GB of internal storage. The tablet will ship in Wi-Fi only and LTE versions as well. The MatePad Pro could very well be a viable alternative to Apple.

Nov 25, 2019

At today’s launch event, Huawei announced a new smart speaker called the Sound X. The new audio product was co-developed with Devialet, a French-audio company.

Sound X Design

The Sound X has a cylindrical design which is the best if you are aiming for 360° surround sound. It has a two-tone finish – glazed upper half and a mesh bottom. There is a cut-out on the body of the speaker for the subwoofer.

The top is where the capacitive controls are and there is a cool rainbow light effect when the speaker is on or the AI voice assistant is active.

Features

The Huawei Sound X Smart Speaker has two 3.5” subwoofers (60W in total) and uses SAM bass enhancement technology. Huawei says this is the first smart speaker with a Hi-Res certification. The bass can dive to an ultralow frequency of 40Hz, allowing you to feel the bass effect with your entire body.

The speaker has a sound intensity of 93 decibels. Even at such a high volume, sounds are not distorted and this is because the speaker uses Devialet’s Push-Push acoustic design. The Push-Push design has two symmetrical woofers installed in a confined space and cancels out noise generated at a high volume by using the back-wave thrust generated by each woofer.

There are six evenly distributed 1.5” 8W mid-range speakers alongside the subwoofers and they are tuned using Huawei’s Histen sound algorithm. The Sound X also has spatial awareness, so it adjusts sound output depending on where it is placed. There are six microphones placed around the speaker that can pick up your voice from up to 5 meters away. The combination of the 1.5GHz MediaTek MT8518 quad-core processor and anti-interference signal processing technology ensures that your commands are picked up even in a noisy environment.

Playing music from your phone is super easy. The speaker has NFC and if your phone also has NFC, all you have to do is touch it against the NFC icon on the speaker. The Sound X smart speaker can also be paired with another unit for a dual-speaker stereo mode. All you have to do is double-tap the multifunction button to quickly enter into stereo mode.

Of course, this is a smart speaker, so it is only right that you can use it to control compatible smart home products. Huawei’s HiLink technology works with products from Midea, Gree, TCL, Haier, Skyworth, Bosch, Siemens and more.

The Sound X weighs 3.5 kilograms, has a diameter of 165 millimeters and stands at 203 millimeters tall. It has 512MB of RAM and 8GB of storage. It supports dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, and has a power rating of 24V 2.7A.

Price and Availability

The Sound X is priced at ¥1999 (~$284) for a single unit while the stereo set is priced at ¥3888 (~$553). It available in a single color variant called Starry Night. Pre-orders begin tomorrow at 18:08 local time and it will go on sale on December 5. The stereo set will be available at the end of December.

Xiaomi Mi 10: What to expect?

Until the launch of the Mi Mix series a couple of years back, Xiaomi only launches a flagship Mi model each year. However, this year we have seen a number of offshoots of the Mi 9 flagship such as the Mi 9 Pro, and Mi 9T Pro. Attention is now gradually shifting to next year’s Mi flagship model which is expected to adopt the moniker Xiaomi Mi 10. Some expected details of the flagship Mi 10 have now appeared online and we serve you first here on Gizmochina.

Samsung — The Xiaomi Mi 10 will use a similar punch-hole design as the Galaxy S10

Xiaomi recently disclosed that it plans to launch up to ten 5G smartphones next year. Obviously, the Mi 10 will be among the flagship models with top-level configuration including ae 5G modem. Here are some of what we know so far about the upcoming flagship.

The Mi 10 is expected to launch around March next year and is said to adopt a curved OLED display design. The display will also have the 120Hz refresh rate which would deliver smooth gaming experience to its users. The flagship model is also touted to come with a punch-hole design for the selfie camera with a diameter that may be less than 2mm. The Vivo S5 was recently launched as the first non-Samsung model to have a punch-hole OLED screen.

At the rear aspect, the Xiaomi Mi 10 is likely to retain the Yuba bikes-styled Quad camera setup with all four sensors lining up behind each other in a vertical direction. There are equally rumours of a 108MP main camera sensor among the array.

Furthermore, the Mi 10 will no doubt be powered by Qualcomm’s next-gen Snapdragon 865 chipset and would have a UFS 3.0 flash memory. The chipset would have a 5G modem onboard with support for NSA/SA networks. The device is also expected to have support for 40W wireless fast charging which Xiaomi is reportedly already testing or may even come with 50W wireless charging support. At the moment, the highest wireless charger rating from Xiaomi is 30W. We may also see Xiaomi’s 100W Super Charge Turbo wired charger ship with the device. The fast charger was tipped to arrive in Xiaomi phones next year so the Mi 10 may be the first.

Another rumour making the rounds is that the Mi 10 series would include the Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro. This isn’t new as the present Mi 9 flagship launched earlier this year had a Mi 9 Pro model. There is no word yet as to the distinguishing features between both variants.

Huawei Mate X has its Second Hand Units Sold for Twice the Retail Price

Every year, the smartphone industry innovates in a notable manner that leads to popular trends being created. The best example for 2019 would be the in-display fingerprint scanner and the foldable displays. Samsung was one of the first to the race with its infamous Samsung Galaxy Fold that had brought the future near but with its own shortcomings. Similarly, Huawei joined the foldable party with the launch of the Mate X. However, unlike the Galaxy Fold, the Mate X seems to be in pretty short supply. Huawei’s foldable units are reportedly being sold second hand for twice the price owing to limited supplies.

According to a past report, Huawei’s Mate X had sold out within minutes after officially going on sale (being sold for 16,999 Yuan or roughly $2,417). This points to the fact that the device is already a success with the company’s home market. However, the company is still behind shipment as it is struggling to supply the increasing demand. As of today, the Mate X has been completely sold out three times since its official launch.

Owing to this explosive popularity, a few owners of the Mate X have decided to resell their devices for hefty prices. In certain cases, the Mate X was seen being sold for twice the original price. The second-hand trading platforms are being flooded with bids as high as 39,000 or even about 50,000 Yuan. Considering the actual price is 16,999 Yuan, it translates to two or even three times the resale value of a device. In other words, a massive profit margin is being made as the device is being circulated online through unofficial channels.

The Chinese tech giant has hit all the right notes with its customers with the Huawei Mate X. Unfortunately, the second-hand trend might lead to some issues regarding future sales or even fake units being used to trick buyers. So for now, readers should be wary of any unofficial sale of the foldable smartphone and are advised to wait for the official sale that will arrive in the near future.

Nov 25, 2019

The Huawei MatePad Pro launched in China today with features not seen on any tablet before. It is not only the first tablet with a punch-hole display but it is also the first tablet with support for reverse wireless charging. No, it is not the first tablet with wireless charging, the Nexus 7 (2013) supports wireless charging too.

The new tablet is powered by the Kirin 990 processor but a more powerful version will arrive next year. Huawei’s CEO, Yu Chengdong, disclosed at the launch that the MatePad Pro will get a 5G version next year. That version should be powered by the Kirin 990 5G which not only has a built-in 5G modem but has its cores clocked at a higher speed.

The MatePad Pro 5G version will launch in the first quarter of 2020. Based on the timeline, the device may arrive alongside the Huawei P40 series.

Other than the difference in the processor and network (5G support), we expect the MatePad Pro 5G to have a bigger battery capacity. The MatePad Pro has a 7250mAh battery capacity, slightly smaller than the 7500mAh battery of the MediaPad 10.8. We presume Huawei will include a 7500mAh battery in the 5G version of its new tablet. And of course, expect a higher price tag.

Richard Yu: Huawei will not enter the field of home appliances

Huawei consumer business CEO Richard Yu said at the MatePad Pro launch conference today that the company has no interest in entering the home appliance field in the future. According to him, the company wants to focus predominantly on mobile phones, smart audio products, computer product and tablets, as well as other smart consumer products such as smart wear, smart bracelets and smart watches.

This isn’t the first time that we’ve seen Richard Yu express absolutely no interest in home appliances. During the China Household Appliances and Consumer Electronics Expo in Shanghai on March 14th, the company took a deep dive into the smart home products market with their smart TVs, as well as applying a bigger focus towards AI development.

During that Expo, Richard Yu claimed that the company “has a selfishness in doing IoT. Our goal is to improve the stickiness of smart terminal users. Therefore, Huawei IoT and Huawei mobile phones are a whole and inseparable. In the future, your home hardware can be controlled by Huawei mobile phones.”

This is in stark contrast to their competitors, especially Xiaomi who have invested heavily into all sorts of home appliances that connect to their Mi Home infrastructure. According to Richard Yu, the company will never make smart hardware for home appliances, and will only provide consumers with a seamless experiences on pre-existing products.
