Mobile World Congress 2020 was cancelled, but that does not mean that you will miss all the big announcements. HUAWEI just had their announcement not more than an hour ago. In that announcement they announced the latest HUAWEI Mate Xs foldable smartphone. It is pretty much an evolution of last year’s HUAWEI Mate X foldable smartphone. That is not all they launched though.
This year they also introduced the HUAWEI MatePad Pro, a high-end tablet designed for the professionals. Why we say that? It has a DCI-P3 colour accurate display for the best sort of colour reproduction you can get on 10-inches of display. The 10.8-inch display pushes 2,500 by 1,600 pixels, effectively a QHD+ display. With a 90% screen to body coverage too it is small, really small. Thin too at 7.2mm, as thick as modern smartphones.
It is one of HUAWEI’s most advanced tablets to come out of the Chinese tech giant’s showrooms. It packs HUAWEI’s HiSilicon Kirin 990 5G processor. You get an option of getting the MatePad Pro with 5G connectivity too if you really must. Of course, the 5G versions will cost you a little bit more.
Audio cannot be neglected in a super powerhouse like the MatePad Pro too. You get not only four speakers at each corner of the device; you also get far-field mics for your voice commands from a distance away. That is all wrapped in ultra-light fiber glass body or stylish vegan leather body.
For maximum productivity, you can get the HUAWEI M-Pencil for EU€ 99. You can take advantage of the app multiplier, multiscreen collaboration, multi-window modes, and even HUAWEI share for even more optimised productivity and multitasking. Of course, it does have large battery to fill the space within the slim and compact body. 7,250mAh large, in fact. For that, you get all-day productivity. It even charges at 40W if you plug it in a wall charger. It can charge wirelessly at 37W too.
The HUAWEI will be available within this quarter of 2020. Malaysia? We do not have a set date yet, but it looks like we are also getting it soon enough. It comes in either Green or Orange Vegan Leather colour options, or White or Grey glass fiber colour options. Prices start at EU€ 549 (6GB + 128GB) [MYR 2,520], EU€ 649 (8GB + 256GB) [MYR 2,979], EU€ 749 (8GB + 256GB, M-Pencil, Vegan Leather) [MYR 3,438] for the WiFi version, EU€ 599 (6GB + 128GB) [MYR 2,749], EU€ 699 (8GB + 256GB) [MYR 3,208] for the LTE variant, and goes all the way up to EU€ 799 (8GB + 256GB) [MYR 3,666], EU€ 949 (8GB +512GB) [MYR 4,355] for the 5G variant. The HUAWEI MatePad Pro runs on HUAWEI’s EMUI 10.0.1 based on Android 10 Operating System (OS) though you can only get your apps through HUAWEI’s App Gallery.
