Tablets have long ceased to be just a toy for watching movies before bed or while traveling – if you have a sufficiently productive “filling” and the appropriate accessories, you can work with most basic tasks on this portable device without significant restrictions or discomfort.
Drawing, office work, note-taking, working with email and searching for information on the Internet – all this (and much more) can be done on a gadget that looks stylish, does not weigh down your backpack, and at the same time has a decent list of advantages that many did not even suspect. . Don’t believe me? Let’s talk about HUAWEI MatePad 11.5″S.
Case design
Despite the decent display diagonal, an impressive set of productive hardware and a body made of noble metal, Huawei engineers managed to make the device quite thin (only 6.2 mm) and light (510 grams).
So the front camera was placed on the long side of the frame (for this, looking ahead, an “island” of gloss was left in the matte coating so that the image sensor received enough light).
Display
The main feature of this new product, without any doubt, is the display with a new generation of proprietary matte PaperMatte coating, reminiscent of paper to the touch, which almost completely (99% according to the manufacturer) eliminates glare and reflections on the screen.
This means that you can literally point the lamp at the display, but reading a book or watching a movie will still be extremely comfortable and safe for the eyes.
In addition, this tablet, covered with a matte PaperMatte coating, has a top-level flagship IPS screen with an adaptive refresh rate from 30 to 144 Hz, which has a positive effect on the battery life of the gadget, a complete absence of flicker and an aspect ratio of 3:2 at 2.8K- resolution (2800×1840 pixels).
Autonomy and charging
Huawei HUAWEI MatePad 11.5″S PaperMatte Edition comes with a battery with a capacity of 8,800 mAh, which, with a diagonal of just over 11 inches, is quite an impressive figure, because usually 12-13-inch models can boast of similar characteristics.
Especially if you need a laptop computer for reading books (there is even a special mode, when activated, it creates the feeling of using a paper book or comic book) and various literature, watching news on the Internet and other casual matters.
There is also proprietary Notepad software for taking notes, in which you can write by hand using the M-Pencil stylus, while simultaneously recording sound during a video conference. When the meeting ends, you can start playing back the recording in your notes – the text you wrote by hand will be synchronized with the speaker’s voice.
And those who love to draw or just want to learn it are strongly recommended to explore the capabilities of GoPaint. This free application was developed by Huawei itself – it is suitable for both experienced professionals who draw on a commercial basis, and for beginners who have decided to master the world of digital creativity. Lots of brushes, different canvas textures and a user-friendly interface make this application one of the most competitive.
HUAWEI MatePad SE 2024 is a tablet in a metal case with a good screen and excellent battery life for an affordable price.
The body of the tablet is made of metal, and this is amazing considering the low cost of the device. Let’s say more – the tablet looks no worse than more expensive analogues from famous brands. This is very captivating because it feels good to hold a cool and sturdy metal body in your hands.
The tablet has thin frames around the screen, making its overall dimensions smaller than those of more expensive competitors, with the same diagonal.
It is possible to split the screen into two parts, you can even open several windows at the same time. The auto-brightness function works adequately and allows you to customize your work to individual requirements. At any brightness level, there is no significant backlight modulation, so there is no screen flicker.
