Featuring a familiar design that consumers have come to love, the new HUAWEI MatePad has a premium enclosure with narrow bezels, measuring just 7.9mm. This helps it to achieve a massive screen-to-body ratio of 84 percent, making the most of the compact form factor to provide a large display area for users. The Micro-arc middle frame realises an integrated shielding design that embeds the antennas and allows the middle frame to seamlessly connect with the back, which is available in an understated colourway – Grey.
All these are fitted in an extremely lightweight body that weighs about 450g, making it perfect for users who are always on the move.
Immersive multimedia experiences
The new HUAWEI MatePad delivers Huawei’s signature FullView experience with a 10.4-inch 2K FullView display that supports a 2000×1200 resolution at 224PPI and 70.8 per cent of the NTSC colour gamut for bringing any multimedia content to life. Picture detail and dynamic range are boosted by the proprietary HUAWEI ClariVu Display Enhancement technology, which is a set of algorithms that optimise dark images and video scenes for image quality, colour saturation and sharpness. The display panel has also been certified by TÜV Rheinland Low Blue Light. This ensures user eye fatigue is kept at a minimum over extended use.
Delivering an audio experience that rivals that of home theatre setups, HUAWEI MatePad supports Histen 6.0 to drive 3D stereo sound effects. Music and films sound more immersive than ever with the four high amplitude speakers, which feature an innovative design.
All-round performance
The new HUAWEI MatePad is powered by Kirin 810, a powerful and efficient AI chipset manufactured with 7nm process. The chipset features a 2.27GHz octa-core CPU, comprising two A76 performance cores and six A55 efficiency cores. CPU resources are scheduled by AI, which allows the processor to dynamically respond to varying user demands.
The Kirin 810 also includes a Da Vinci NPU to handle AI processing and enable novel and sophisticated smart features that enrich the user experience. The HUAWEI MatePad also packs a massive 7250mAh battery and works in concert with Huawei’s software optimisations to provide an enduring battery life.
Smart interaction features
Running EMUI 10.1, the HUAWEI MatePad includes a variety of smart features that take full advantage of Huawei’s distributed technology to fundamentally change the way users interact with their devices. Multi-Window not only allows two apps to be open concurrently, but the apps can also interact with each other for maximum multi-tasking efficiency. Text messages can be replied to via Floating Window, which creates an overlay on top of the active app, enabling users to perform simple tasks without exiting the current activity.
Multi-screen Collaboration lets users connect their Huawei smartphone with the HUAWEI MatePad and seamlessly use two devices at once on a single display. After a simple and intuitive pairing process, files can be transferred by performing a drag-and-drop action. Peripherals and hardware capabilities are shared between the connected devices. For instance, the user can take advantage of the powerful quad-speaker system to play music files stored locally on the smartphone.

The HUAWEI MatePad is fully equipped to let users learn and have fun anytime, anywhere. Designed to facilitate a better video calling experience, the new HUAWEI MatePad includes a quad-microphone array supporting noise reduction and sound pickup within five metres.
