Huawei MatePad is the mid-range sibling of the MatePad Pro designed to bring an immersive experience, fast performance, and smart features to consumers with a tighter budget.

2K screen

The tablet sports a metallic body in Midnight Grey colorway and a 10.4-inch IPS screen with a crisp 2K 2000 x 1200 resolution. It has a 16:9:6 aspect ratio, 84 percent screen-to-body ratio, 470 nit brightness, and an anti-fingerprint coating solution.

M-Pencil support

Under the hood, it is loaded with a fast chipset, the Kirin 810 processor. It is a 7nm octa-core chip with DaVinci NPU for AI tasks and Mali-G52 MP6 GPU with GPU Turbo technology.

It is paired with 4GB RAM, 64GB expandable storage, and 7,250mAh battery with USB-C 18W fast charging solution.

For cameras, it highlights an 8MP main camera with AF and an 8MP selfie camera with an ultra-wide-angle lens.

Huawei also added 4x Harman Kardon-tuned speakers and 4x microphones. This should be great for doing video calls and listening to music.

To help you stay connected, the tablet comes with a dual-band WiFi and 700MHz 4G LTE connectivity.

It runs with Android 10 OS with EMUI 10.1 skin. The tablet has its own education center with plenty of learning resources, a feature that won't let its users be addicted to the tablet, TÜV Rheinland certified eye comfort mode, monochrome e-paper like experience, and multi-window support.

It also has the Huawei MeeTime for up to 1080p high-quality video calling between two Huawei devices even if internet connectivity is weak and lighting condition is not that good.

The tablet also supports the M-Pencil stylus.
