On what should have been the first day of MWC 2020, Huawei and other companies have held virtual conferences to publicize their news. Today we saw the deployment of China’s largest manufacturer and also its e-brand Honor, and while the new Huawei Mate Xs is the undisputed star of the show, the company also breathed a breath of fresh air into the stagnant market. of smart tablets with the introduction of the new Huawei MatePad Pro 5G . This time we will explain what makes it special.

The Huawei MatePad Pro is – in Huawei’s words – the world’s first tablet with FullView Display . Going into details, it has a 10.8-inch IPS LCD panel , which has a hole for the front camera and quite thin bezels, allowing to achieve a 90% use of the surface. This display has a resolution of 2,560 x 1,600 pixels along with a density of 280 pixels per inch, in addition, it covers the DCI-P3 color gamut to offer a cinematic color experience.
The tablet supports a digital pen called the M Pen , which is attached to the upper body by magnetism , and where it can also be charged wirelessly. Holding the MatePad Pro we quickly realize that it is a superior quality product; It has a magnesium alloy body and there are also versions that incorporate vegan leather for the back cover.
We were also struck by the possibility of coupling a keyboard with a stand , since it is like a glove to the rest of the functions that this tablet offers us at the software level, which lend themselves to productivity and working on the move.

On the other hand, the tablet is powered by a 7,250mAh battery with 15W fast and wireless charging.
However, the most interesting is this level of software, since, although it lacks Google services, Huawei has made a great effort with this particular version of EMUI 10.

This is not all, since the Huawei MatePad Pro can also control Huawei terminals through a direct OneHoon connection , which facilitates the exchange of files between devices with just drag and drop.
The gap left by Google’s services and applications is not easy to fill, but Huawei’s App Gallery is what is offered to fill that need.
