7 Reasons Why HUAWEI MatePads Are Worthy Work-Play Machines

The COVID-19 pandemic has truly changed the way we live. Mindsets have shifted, as have personal—and professional—goals, and it’s up to us to fashion a new kind of lifestyle as we continue to navigate these uncertain times. In this new normal, masks are obligatory, so we go ham on the eye makeup. Outside the safety of our homes, physical distancing is a must, so we hug who we can tighter and closer to us. 

But the world continues to turn, and if we want to thrive, it’s important that we’re equipped with the right kinds of tools and devices that will help us achieve what we want to achieve. Whether that’s working from home and keeping up with a slew of meetings, or making sure that all your errands are done for the day, it’s perhaps safe to say that by this time, we’ve all gotten accustomed to working remotely. 

But it’s not just about work: we also need to relax and wind down, so as hard as we work, we should play just as hard. This is why it’s even more essential that we choose a device that is portable, filled to the brim with exciting features, and is reasonably priced. HUAWEI’s newest tablets—the MatePad Pro 12.6, the MatePad 11, and MatePad Pro 10.8—are perfect for this. 

Here are 7 reasons why HUAWEI MatePads are worthy work-play machines, especially the MatePad 11 and the MatePad Pro 12.6: 

1. You get access to a really, really smooth screen

Be prepared to be amazed by the excellent display capabilities of the new HUAWEI MatePad 11. The MatePad 11 is the first-ever Huawei tablet to support a maximum refresh rate of 120 Hz. This means it’s able to deliver smoother visuals for video playback, gaming, browsing, handwriting input and so much more. The MatePad 11 is great for light, easy tasks to more intense use, like gaming. On the other hand, the MatePad Pro 12.6 features a 2.6-inch, 16:10 ultra-wide OLED FullView Display, giving it one of the biggest screen-to-body ratios amongst tablets in the market.

2. Its PC-like productivity and creativity is unparalleled

Whether you’re illustrating for work or leisure, or writing a handwritten letter to your beloved, the MatePad 11 is a wonderful tablet just for that. It offers a super smooth writing experience and comfortable typing experience thanks to the M-Pencil (2nd Gen) and the Smart Magnetic Keyboard. Meanwhile, the MatePad Pro 12.6 is equipped with the Kirin 9000E, which means it’s capable of multi-tasking, processing massive amounts of data, and powering real-time AI computing with ease. Just lay back, and let it do the work.

3. Multi-screen collaboration delivers the ultimate cross-device experience

The new MatePad 11 and Pro 12.6 bring Multi-screen collaboration, which features three modes: Mirror, Extended, and Collaborate. That means the MatePads are more than just a tablet—it can also be a drawing panel as well as a portable monitor! The tablet-to-PC multi-screen collaboration feature also allows you to have your devices interconnected, which means you never have to worry when it comes to multitasking.

5. It has an impressive battery life

Together with the power-saving technology of HarmonyOS, the MatePad 11 offers up to 12 hours of continuous local 1080p HD video playback and 12 hours of handling productivity tasks on a single charge, giving you the capability to take the tablet with you whenever you go. Devices running out of battery especially when you need them the most can be one of the most frustrating experiences—especially when you’ve got the charger but nowhere to plug into. Thankfully, the MatePad 11’s battery life has got you covered.

6. The sound quality is exquisite

When you’re not working, you’re probably signing onto a streaming platform to binge the trendiest shows and movies at the time—which means you’re going to want a tablet that can deliver an immersive audio experience. The MatePad 11’s audio features enhance bass and guarantee that the sounds are faithful to their source material—meanwhile, the MatePad Pro 12.6 has 8 (yes, you read that right! 8!) speakers. That means you can enjoy your movies, TV shows, concerts, and music perfectly!

7. The all-new app multiplier makes working more efficient 

Unlike a typical split screen, App Multiplier is the only feature from devices to offer a split screen of the same app. This allows you to work on two documents from the same app, making working a lot more efficient, and productivity a lot more within reach.

The HUAWEI MatePad 11 is priced at Php 26,999, while the HUAWEI MatePad Pro 12.6 is available at Php 55,999.
