There are many things in life for which you need something bigger than a smartphone, yet a laptop might be overkill or even an encumbrance. Sitting halfway between laptops and smartphones, tablets are often the perfect devices for such situations. That said, you need to make sure to get one that fits your needs and budget just right. Luckily, Huawei has two fantastic tablets for anybody looking for an affordable tablet. The HUAWEI MatePad SE is an entry level entertainment tablet suitable for everyone in the family; from the young to old. It comes with a 10.4-inch Eye-Comfort 2K HUAWEI FullView Display, a powerful processor, and an immersive sound experience. If you want a more advanced tablet that you can also use for light office tasks, there’s the HUAWEI MatePad. Besides having a stunning display, and powerful sound, the tablet can help bring out the artist in you with its smart creativity features. Let’s dive deep into the features of both of these tablets.
10.4-inch 2K high resolution displays
Both the HUAWEI MatePad SE and HUAWEI MatePad are solid entertainment tablets. For starters, both of them have 10.4-inch displays with 2K resolution. But the Eye-Comfort 2K HUAWEI FullView Display on the HUAWEI MatePad SE has a pixel density of 225 PPI and a screen-to-body ratio of 83%. The narrow 8.5 mm bezels around the display make for immersive viewing. On the other hand, the HUAWEI MatePad’s 10.4-inch 2K HUAWEI FullView Display offers a slightly higher screen-to-body ratio of 84%, giving the tablet a sleek and modern aesthetic. The visual quality is stunning, and the graphics rendering is top-notch. The Ultra High-Resolution screen makes everything look vivid and sharp
The HUAWEI MatePad SE supports 4096 levels of automatic brightness adjustment so that the screen brightness can adjust itself in real-time based on the ambient light conditions, with smooth transitions of luminance for better eye comfort. However, both the tablets have passed TÜV Rheinland Low Blue Light and Flicker Free Certifications and are proven to effectively eliminate screen flickers and reduce blue light emissions.
Immersive sound
Another necessary ingredient for an entertainment tablet is great sound. Both these tablets offer amazing sound performance. The HUAWEI MatePad SE manages to pack in two speakers despite its slim frame. The speakers are placed symmetrically on either side to provide an immersive stereo field with resonant bass and crisp treble. To elevate the audio performance further, the tablet employs scene-adaptive Huawei Histen 8.0, offering pristine and penetrating sound effects. Histen 8.0 creates breathtaking sound effects by fine-tuning audio across different frequency ranges and adjusting volume levels to adapt to different scenes.
While watching movies on the HUAWEI MatePad SE, you won’t be annoyed by unintelligible dialogues. With the unique centre-channel human voice extraction algorithm, it can extract and enhance the human voice. Meanwhile, the surround sound field emitting from the speakers can be separated and widened, effectively improving the clarity and recognition of the voice. That way, the voice will be at the front and centre without getting muddled with the background.
The HUAWEI MatePad goes a step further in terms of sound quality with its quad-channel quad-speaker system, providing you with the ultimate cinema-grade multimedia experience. It has customised high-powered speakers that support 60% more intense vibrations than traditional speakers, ensuring more powerful and deeper bass. The HUAWEI MatePad also benefits from the professional tuning of Harman Kardon, which has calibrated and optimised the tablet’s audio output. This tablet also focuses on providing a seamless experience during video conferences and online classes. It has excellent sound pickup and noise reduction characteristics, adopting three microphones and Huawei’s self-developed noise cancellation technology.
Seamless connectivity between devices
The HUAWEI MatePad SE has some extremely handy features that make interactions smooth and seamless. For instance, using the tablet, you can manage your devices and connections from a single place and even share devices between accounts, making cross-device operations easier than ever. The tablet also offers a seamless user experience with its stackable Service Widgets of the same size, and combos of Service Widgets and shortcuts of different sizes, for easier access to your favourite content and features. The all-new Multi-Window feature turns the tablet into a standout multitasking tool by supporting up to four concurrent tasks. The new and improved App Multiplier feature allows you to open up to four ongoing tasks within a single app.
The HUAWEI MatePad, similar to the HUAWEI MatePad SE, supports the drag-to-connect, Multi-Window, and App Multiplier features. But on top of those, it offers support for the second-gen HUAWEI M-Pencil and HUAWEI Smart Keyboard. And this gives you a wealth of possibilities. The realistic writing experience makes it an excellent choice for working, studying, and even creative tasks. The HUAWEI Smart Keyboard supports Bluetooth, and the 1.3mm key travel provides a comfortable and responsive typing experience, even when typing with two hands for an extended time. The HUAWEI MatePad supports Tablet-PC Multi-screen Collaboration in three different modes — Mirror Mode, Extend Mode and Collaborate Mode — making the tablet all the more versatile.
HUAWEI MatePad SE: A truly child-friendly tablet
The HUAWEI MatePad SE is clearly a tablet designed as a family entertainment tablet. It comes with the Kids Corner to help parents to make sure the kids are safe while having fun with their tablets. Designed to be used by children at home, Kids Corner provides screen time control, multi-layered eye protection, and child-friendly content that balances learning and fun, such as the Drawing Board. Parents can manage the usage time, apps, and content on Kids Corner. They can set multiple time limit intervals throughout the day or separate screen time limits for weekdays and weekends. Parents can control which apps children can access and select the videos and pictures that children can see using the content management settings.
Light, comfortable, and easy to use
As a tablet designed for everyone in the family, the HUAWEI MatePad SE is built to be easy to use and durable. It is incredibly lightweight, at just 440 g, and has a sleek body with a micro-curve design for the middle frame. Not only does it make the tablet look thinner, but it also makes it easy to fit better in hand. Whether you are using it at home or on the go, the lightweight tablet is comfortable to hold even for extended periods. It has a durable middle frame that can withstand drops, collisions, and impacts from heavy objects. It has also passed stringent squeeze tests and can bear 10 kg weight on the screen while staying intact.
The HUAWEI MatePad is also a sleek and lightweight tablet. It features a micro-curved frame that makes the device look thinner and allows for a more comfortable grip, and it weighs only 450 grams. That’s only 10 grams more than the HUAWEI MatePad SE.
Conclusion
Both the HUAWEI MatePad SE and HUAWEI MatePad are amazing tablets. They both offer a premium entertainment experience with their displays and sound quality. But features like Kids Corner make the HUAWEI MatePad SE more suitable for family entertainment, while the compatibility with HUAWEI M-Pencil and HUAWEI Smart Keyboard makes the HUAWEI MatePad an all-round tablet that is also suitable for creative work and light office tasks.
