Huawei also launched the MatePad Paper e-ink tablet which was ranked as one of the “Best of Mobile World Congress 2022.” This product from Huawei is quite unique as it doubles as both an e-book reader and a tablet.

The Huawei MatePad Paper packs a 10.3-inch grayscale display screen with a resolution of 1872 x 1404 pixels and 227 PPI pixel density. The e-ink display comes with added features such as an anti-glare and reflective screen that aids low-light use. It has moderate bezzles on three sides while the left edge is slightly wider to give it the appearance of an open book. The device features a screen-to-body ratio of 86.3%.

Under the hood, the MatePad Paper houses a Kirin 820E SoC up to 6GB of RAM and 128GB storage. The e-ink tablet boots HarmonyOS 2 bringing features such as the ability to easily establish a connection between the tablet and Huawei’s laptops, PCs, tablets, and phones.

Giving this tablet the feel of an actual notepad is the second generation M-Pencil which comes bundled with the machine. The screen is well responsive to the stylus as Huawei tweaked the sensitivity of the textured screen. The M-Pencil features 4096 Levels of Pressure Sensitivity and low latency of 26ms making tasks like taking notes, annotating, edit books and other documents fluid and natural.

The tablet comes with WiFi 6+, a fingerprint sensor embedded under the power button, and Bluetooth 5.2 support and crams a 3625mAh battery that can deliver up to 28 days of battery life on standby.

Huawei potentially teases new smartphone in Spring launch event poster

Sudhanshu — Mon, 21 Feb 2022 18:19:40 +0000

Huawei has just revealed that the company will be holding its Smart Office Spring Conference on February 27 at 9:30 PM in China. This is said to be a major launch event from the Chinese tech company which can potentially see the release of new smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other ecosystem products.

According to an ITHome report, the official teaser poster reveals four planets (or moons) circling a planet in the center. This could be interpreted as Huawei’s various venture avenues with the middle being a smartphone, and products such as notebooks, tablets, or headphones are the other four planets revolving around it. Other than that, it could be also be interpreted as the camera module of an upcoming smartphone as we have seen similar camera designs from the brand in the past.

The brand has not revealed any teasers of any upcoming smartphone yet, however, this event might reveal the Huawei P50 derivative and Mate 40 derivative devices which were recently spotted on the 3C certification database carrying model numbers NOH-AN50 and ABR-AL60 respectively.

The company might also introduce the Huawei MatePad 10.4 2022 model which recently received China’s MIIT certification. In terms of the specs, the new Huawei MatePad 10.4 2022 model codenamed BAH4-AL10 will be equipped with HarmonyOS and have a 7150mAh battery, which is 100mAh higher than the previous generation.

The slate will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G processor which was found in a number of mid-range mobile phones in 2021. Thus, the tablet looks like a mid-range slate.

The display specification wasn’t listed but the MatePad 10.4 is tipped to packs a 1200P resolution screen which is actually a 16:10 version of 1080P resolution. This screen ratio is in line with Huawei’s consistent product design philosophy.

The tablet market got a breath of fresh air as a result of the pandemic. Since then, we have seen a number of new tablets including the Xiaomi Pad 5 and more recently, the Galaxy Tab S8. Recently, there have been frequent revelations related to tablet products. While the epidemic is still ongoing, large-screen devices still have considerable market demand.

A new tablet product has now reportedly appeared on the official website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT). This was revealed by Weibo blogger @WHYLAB who thinks the tablet is the Huawei MatePad 10.4 2022 model.

A photo of the tablet showing the front side was also listed by the Chinese certification. The image shows the tablet will have bezels around the screen.

In terms of the specs, the new Huawei MatePad 10.4 2022 model codenamed BAH4-AL10 will be equipped with HarmonyOS and have a 7150mAh battery, which is 100mAh higher than the previous generation.

The slate will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G processor which was found in a number of mid-range mobile phones in 2021. Thus, the tablet looks like a mid-range slate.

The tablet will also have a SIM card slot which means it won’t be a WiFI-only tablet but there is no support for 5G connectivity. However, compared to mobile phones, tablets do not seem to be particularly dependent on 5G networks. A large part of the user group will choose a more affordable Wi-Fi version and use mobile phone hotspots to provide the network.
