I started using tablet in 2010. My first tablet was mainly for playing games and browsing the net. I remember it to be a bit heavy. I have owned five tablets since then. I was hoping these tablets will eventually replace my laptop or at least make me more productive when I'm on the go but sadly I am still not satisfied.
I had the chance to experience the HUAWEI MatePad Pro 13.2 and explore its impressive features. I am awed enough to make a switch.
Display Brilliance
The first thing that I really noticed is the big screen. The star of the show is undoubtedly the 13.2-inch display with very thin bezels, which boasts vibrant colors, sharp details, and impressive clarity. Whether for watching movies, browsing photos, or working on professional tasks, the MatePad Pro's display elevates the visual experience. The high resolution ensures that every detail is crisp and clear, making it an ideal device for creative professionals and multimedia enthusiasts.
Design and Build
Upon laying eyes on the Huawei MatePad Pro, I am also captivated with its sleek and premium design. The tablet is incredibly thin at 5.5mm and lightweight at 580 grams, making it a portable companion for both work and entertainment. The use of high-strength glass fiber and the craftsmanship is evident, showcasing Huawei's commitment to delivering top-notch design aesthetics. It is available in two colors: green and golden black.
Enhanced Productivity with M-Pencil and Smart Keyboard
Huawei understands the importance of productivity, and the MatePad Pro is equipped with features to enhance efficiency. The most useful productivity feature for me is the unique HiNote format that allow seamless sharing and editing of files making it easier and more efficient for me and my team when working on a project.
The third-generation M-Pencil offers a natural and intuitive writing experience, making it a valuable tool for note-taking, sketching, and creative work. This is the first consumer device to use the Nearlink technology. This is a breakthrough connection that is faster and better than bluetooth.
The new M-Pencil has more than 10,000 pressure-sensing levels. I have tried writing over a piece of paper and the quality of the output is the same. The M-Pencil also has a double tap functionality, and it charges magnetically on the MatePad Pro 13.2.
The Smart Keyboard, designed for the MatePad Pro, seamlessly transforms the tablet into a versatile 2-in-1 device, providing a comfortable typing experience for work or entertainment. I love that I can use the keyboard even if it's not physically attached to the tablet.
Multimedia Excellence
The tablet boasts Huawei Sound hardware and software, delivering exceptional audio quality through its speakers. The camera serves well for video calls, and the front-facing camera is excellent too. The battery life is satisfactory, and the fast-charging feature is a notable advantage.
HarmonyOS Integration
The MatePad Pro runs on Huawei's HarmonyOS, offering a seamless and intuitive user experience. HarmonyOS facilitates smooth connectivity between Huawei devices, creating a cohesive ecosystem for users. The tablet's interface is user-friendly, and the integration of HarmonyOS adds a layer of sophistication to the overall user experience.
