The tablet supports a wide range of notetaking apps to deliver better productivity and educational experiences. In addition, it also packs in very good specs that make it a great entertainment tablet, too.

The MatePad comes packed with a 10.4-inch 2K resolution FullView display that offers an 84% screen-to-body ratio. The slim bezels on the tablet provide a more balanced look, and the Dual TÜV Rheinland certification for Low Blue Light and a Flicker Free experience, makes sure your eyes are protected even after prolonged usage.

When it comes to the design and build quality, the MatePad exhibits top-notch quality, just like any other Huawei device. The MatePad weighs just 450-gms and measures 7.45mm thin. You also get a huge 7250mAh battery, that offers a battery life of about 12 hours of continuous use on a single charge. While the tablet also offers a four-week standby time, it can also be fully charged in just 2.5 hours, thanks to 22.5W charging technology.

Under the hood, the MatePad is powered by Huawei’s Kirin 710A processor, coupled with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage space. On the right edge of the device, you get the USB Type-C charging port, and two speaker grilles. On the left edge, you get the power button and two speaker grilles. On the top edge, you get the volume rockers and noise-cancelling microphones.

On the bottom edge, you get the dual SIM tray that either takes in two Nano SIMs or one Nano-SIM and a microSD card (up to 512GB capacity). At the rear, you get the 13 MP camera that offers an aperture of f/1.8 aperture and Auto Focus. The camera is capable of shooting images with a resolution of up to 4160-by-3120 pixels. Shooting modes include professional, panoramic, time-lapse, dynamic, watermark, and document adjustment. On the front, you get an 8 MP camera offering an aperture of f/2.0.

The package that Huawei sent to us for review included the Huawei PatePad, a second-generation Huawei M-Pencil, and a Huawei Smart Magnetic Keyboard. The Smart Magnetic Keyboard does not have a touchpad, though it offers key travel of 1.3mm. Typing on the Smart Magnetic Keyboard was a satisfying experience. You can also pair a mouse with the MatePad, thus allowing you to interact with the tablet using the mouse or the tablet’s touchscreen.

The second-generation Huawei M-Pencil features a new transparent tip, a 360-degree concealed touch key that can be double-tapped to switch, and silver paste paint with an anti-fingerprint finish. The M-Pencil offers 4096 levels of pressure sensitivity and also supports tilt writing. The M -Pencil allows you to capture and share images, annotate anywhere on the screen and save it as an image, take hand-written notes, take notes while recording by adding voice notes, and even edit videos easily using apps such as FilmoraGo.

Since the MatePad also supports Multi-Screen Collaboration features, you can turn the tablet into a sketching pad for your MateBook, for instance, using the Mirror Mode. In Extend Mode, you can drag a task from a Matebook to the MatePad, thus making the tablet a second screen for your MateBook. And in the Collaboration Mode, you can transfer files easily between two Huawei devices and benefit from cross-device collaboration.

Entertainment on the Huawei MatePad is an excellent experience since the tablet features a FullView 2K display. In addition, since the tablet comes with a quad-speaker setup tuned by Harman Kardon, it creates an immersive experience while watching movies or listening to your favourite tunes. Since the Huawei MatePad uses an advanced audio algorithm, it can automatically filter out noises such as typing and ambient conversations, during video or audio calls.

The Huawei MatePad is now available with the Huawei M-Pencil for a price point starting at AED 999. For that price, you get a very powerful tablet that won’t bog you down with performance issues, whether it’s used for work or play!

Designed for the modern workspace and university life, the HUAWEI MatePad 11.5 is perfect for jotting down notes, collaborating on projects, or enjoying media.

Enhanced with the upgraded HUAWEI Notes app and features to streamline workflows, the MatePad 11.5 is set to become the go-to device for those seeking greater efficiency in their daily tasks. The HUAWEI MatePad 11.5 is now available at Huawei’s official online platforms and select retail stores at AED 1299 with gifts worth AED 707 including Band 8, digital pen and keyboard.

The HUAWEI MatePad 11.5 features an 11.5-inch HUAWEI FullView Display with a 2200 x 1440 resolution and a 120 Hz refresh rate, transforming paperless tasks, learning, and reading into a smooth, vivid viewing experience. With Nanoscale Anti-Glare Etching Technology, the PaperMatte Display minimises reflections, providing a softer, more comfortable experience even during prolonged use. It has received the TÜV Rheinland Reflection-Free and Paper-Like Display Certificates, as well as the SGS Low Visual Fatigue Certificate, which guarantees reduced ambient light reflection, consistent contrast, and a paper-like texture, making it easier on the eyes.

The Colour eBook Mode further enhances the experience by utilising Huawei’s proprietary colour-mapping algorithm to balance brightness, hue, and colour temperature. It faithfully reproduces the vibrant colours and rich textures of physical books, like graphic novels and magazines, and brings images to life.

It even creates a pleasant rustle closely replicating the authentic pen-on-paper experience.

The new Multi-Note feature allows you to open multiple notes simultaneously, enabling seamless switching between them and the One-Touch Split-Screen feature allows you to view and compare them side by side. Note Replay offers an efficient new way to take notes by utilising advanced audio processing technology to sync audio in real-time as you write. Clicking on the handwritten note will instantly synchronise the audio, ensuring smooth and quick access to the relevant content. Sharing notes with colleagues and friends is now easier than ever using the HiNote format. Recipients can effortlessly edit these shared notes allowing you to adapt a paperless workflow and make collaboration easier.

The HUAWEI MatePad 11.5 delivers desktop-like productivity with access to native desktop applications and features like Floating Multi-Window and advanced window management. The Multi-Screen Collaboration feature even lets you use the tablet as a second screen or easily transfer files between your tablet and phone.
