User reviews
Design
1.weight
460g
We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.
2.thickness
7.2mm
We consider a thinner chassis better because it makes the product more compact and portable. Thinness is a feature highlighted by many manufacturers of mobile devices, but it is essential for a wide range of products.
3.width
246mm
The width represents the horizontal dimension of the product. We consider a smaller width better because it assures easy maneuverability.
4.height
159mm
The height represents the vertical dimension of the product. We consider a smaller height better because it assures easy maneuverability.
5.volume
281.62cm³
Volume is the quantity of three-dimensional space enclosed by the product's chassis or, in simpler terms, the space the product occupies.
6.Stylus included
✔Huawei MatePad Pro
A stylus is a pen-like accessory that allows you to interact with the touchscreen with greater precision, and is particularly useful for drawing and writing.
7.Has a detachable keyboard
✔Huawei MatePad Pro
You can detach the keyboard of your device and use the screen as a tablet. Detaching the keyboard makes the device lighter and gives you the possibility to switch easily between laptop-mode and tablet-mode. The keyboard is included when buying the device.
8.Has a backlit keyboard
✖Huawei MatePad Pro
The keyboard is backlit, making it easier to type in the dark or dim lighting.
9.is dustproof and water-resistant
✖Huawei MatePad Pro
The device is dustproof and water-resistant. Water-resistant devices can resist the penetration of water, such as powerful water jets, but not being submerged into water.
Display
1.screen size
10.8"
The bigger the screen size is, the better the user experience.
2.Has an OLED or AMOLED display
✖Huawei MatePad Pro
OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) displays are formed of organic materials that emit light. They have higher contrast ratios and wider viewing angles compared to LCDs. AMOLED and POLED are types of OLED displays.
3.has an IPS screen
✔Huawei MatePad Pro
IPS (In-Plane Switching) is a technology used for LCDs. It was designed to overcome the main limitations of conventional twisted nematic TFT displays: limited viewing angles and low-quality color reproduction. PLS (Plane-to-Line Switching) is a type of IPS screen developed by Samsung, with increased brightness and lower production costs.
4.resolution
2560 x 1600px
Resolution is an essential indicator of a screen's image quality, representing the maximum amount of pixels that can be shown on the screen. The resolution is given as a compound value, comprised of horizontal and vertical pixels.
5.pixel density
280ppi
Pixel density is a measurement of a screen's resolution, expressed as the number of pixels per inch (PPI) on the screen. A higher pixel density translates into more clarity and sharpness for the images rendered on the screen, thus improving the quality of the viewing experience.
6.refresh rate
60Hz
The frequency at which the screen is refreshed. Higher frequency results in less flickering (less noise) and more natural movement representation in action-intense scenes.
7.has branded damage-resistant glass
✖Huawei MatePad Pro
Damage-resistant glass (such as Corning Gorilla Glass or Asahi Dragontrail Glass) is thin, lightweight, and can withstand high levels of force.
8.has anti-reflection coating
✖Huawei MatePad Pro
This helps to reduce the reflection from your device.
9.has an HDR10-enabled display
✖Huawei MatePad Pro
The display supports HDR10, which is an HDR (high dynamic range) video technology. Compared to standard dynamic range (SDR) video, HDR10 video has greater contrast and color depth, resulting in more realistic images.
Performance
1.internal storage
512GB
The internal storage refers to the built-in storage space available in a device for system data, apps, and user-generated data. With a large amount of internal storage, you can save more files and apps on your device.
2.RAM
8GB
Random-access memory (RAM) is a form of volatile memory used to store working data and machine code currently in use. It is a quick-access, temporary virtual storage that can be read and changed in any order, thus enabling fast data processing.
3.CPU speed
2 x 2.86GHz & 2 x 2.09GHz & 4 x 1.86GHz (Huawei Kirin 990)
The CPU speed indicates how many processing cycles per second can be executed by a CPU, considering all of its cores (processing units). It is calculated by adding the clock rates of each core or, in the case of multi-core processors employing different microarchitectures, of each group of cores.
4.has an external memory slot
✔Huawei MatePad Pro
The device has a standard memory slot (such as an SD or micro SD card slot) that enables you to extend the built-in internal storage with affordable memory modules, or easily retrieve data, such as photographs, from the memory card.
Small semiconductors provide better performance and reduced power consumption. Chipsets with a higher number of transistors, semiconductor components of electronic devices, offer more computational power. A small form factor allows more transistors to fit on a chip, therefore increasing its performance.
6.Supports 64-bit
✔Huawei MatePad Pro (Huawei Kirin 990)
A 32-bit operating system can only support up to 4GB of RAM. 64-bit allows more than 4GB, giving increased performance. It also allows you to run 64-bit apps.
The maximum amount of external storage memory supported by the the device.
8.Has integrated LTE
✔Huawei MatePad Pro (Huawei Kirin 990)
The system on a chip (SoC) has an integrated LTE cellular chip. LTE is capable of downloading at faster speeds than older, 3G technology.
9.Uses big.LITTLE technology
✔Huawei MatePad Pro (Huawei Kirin 990)
Using big.LITTLE technology, a chip can switch between two sets of processor cores to maximize performance and battery life. For example, when playing a game the more powerful cores will be used to increase performance, whereas checking email will use the less powerful cores to maximize battery life.
Cameras
The number of megapixels determines the resolution of the images captured with the main camera. A higher megapixel count means that the camera is capable of capturing more details. However, the megapixel count is not the only important element determining the quality of an image.
The number of megapixels determines the resolution of the images captured with the front camera. A higher megapixel count means that the front camera is capable of capturing more details, an essential factor for taking high-resolution selfies.
3.video recording (main camera)
2160 x 30fps
The maximum resolution available for videos shot with the main camera. Although it may be possible to choose among other frame rates, those recordings usually have lower resolutions.
4.has a flash
✔Huawei MatePad Pro
A flash is good for low-light environments, and can sometimes be used as flashlight.
5.has a front camera
✔Huawei MatePad Pro
A front camera, also called secondary camera, can be used for video chats/selfies.
6.has a built-in HDR mode
✔Huawei MatePad Pro
It can automatically shoot pictures with a higher dynamic range (HDR).
7.Can create panoramas in-camera
✔Huawei MatePad Pro
It allows you to take multiple photos capturing different parts of the scene, and then joins them together into a single photo.
8.supports slow-motion video recording
✔Huawei MatePad Pro
Slow-motion is an artistic video effect that makes time seem to go slower. It is achieved by recording a video at a higher frame-rate than the standard playback rate of 24fps or 30fps. Depending on camera capabilities, frame rates for slow-motion videos vary between 60fps and 960fps.
9.has touch autofocus
✔Huawei MatePad Pro
The autofocus is immediately set to the subject by just touching it on the touch screen.
Audio
1.has stereo speakers
✔Huawei MatePad Pro
Devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better experience.
2.has a socket for a 3.5 mm audio jack
✖Huawei MatePad Pro
With a standard mini jack socket, you can use the device with most headphones.
More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background noise.
4.Has a radio
✖Huawei MatePad Pro
A built-in FM radio tuner allows you to listen to most of the live-broadcasted FM radio stations without using the internet.
5.Has dedicated media keys
✖Huawei MatePad Pro
Phones with physical keyboards have dedicated media keys, such as: play, stop, next, previous, volume up/down, etc.
