Features of the Huawei MatePad 5G 10.4 Tablet
The first thing that catches the eye is the type of matrix. For a device costing €400 (3200 yuan) and equipped with a powerful chip and large memory, IPS is a chance to buy a great tablet at an attractive price. The cameras and their photo quality are not as interesting as the wireless interfaces. The Huawei MatePad 5G 10.4 tablet can make calls and connect to all modern (as of 2020) wireless networks. Even Bluetooth version 5.1, which operates at the level of Wi-Fi protocols (fast and long-range).
Mentioning the Harman Kardon brand, the Chinese have defined the status of the built-in stereo speakers. They cannot be low quality by definition. Otherwise, the well-known audio equipment manufacturer would not have approved the use of its reputable name in Huawei’s product. The built-in 4 microphones indicate that the gadget is excellent for video communication. Considering support for the stylus and IPS matrix, it may seem that the tablet is suitable for designers and other creative professionals.
