Correction: There is video out none of my Type-C to HDMI cables or Hubs worked but I tested today a portable screen I just got that has type-C input and it worked. No desktop mode, but you can clone the display or run apps on that extra screen. Sorry for this error.
Thank you for you excellent review. Love your review! This MatePad biggest problem no Desktop Mode and output mirror is a joke. Try open pre-install WPS (office). And when you try to open a file or create new file in WPS, the pad itself show the pop-up what you want to do, but mirror monitor screen stay as it is, no pop-up, no selection.
"selective" mirror I assume...
Secondly, each time connect TYPE-C hub to mirror. Prompt ignoring and tedious need user tap "agree" in pad to mirror. WHAT A STUPID message from Huawei.... Plug-in HDMI of course mirror or else why should user plug-in hdmi cable?? It should by default mirror, later user can turn off..
with all the restrictions out there for Huawei and still perform this great is just amazing
What a wonderful device, I wish I could get my hands on it and all other Huawei products. Huawei king forever and soon the world will witness it!!
Samsung is laughing !
The way you make your statement negates your statement. They are king of nothing.
King in copying Apple
@@victormarian7889 i we talk about the pricetag, samsung really is shaking
no brand deliver like Huawei does a the same price-range
@@joelo5164 and making it better and affordable
Really impressive with the stylus and an absolute absence of visible latency.
It's very quick indeed seems to be instant really I can't detect the delay. Not sure what it is in ms I don't have this info but next to nothing.
@@TechtabletsHave you not laid your hands on the 3rd gen MPencil?
@@Techtabletsis the latency less than Apple Pencil?
@@elbert5208search for nearlink !
@@elbert5208 apparently yes. because of huawei's new nearlink technology.
7:30 The wireless capable keyboard is something to love. 7:30 You can be in the most awkward position and still be able to use the wireless keyboard. 9:18 The unrestricted resizing capability of the window and the smoothness of the resizing speed is fabulous. 9:08 The flexible multitasking abilities that enables smooth transition when switching to another app even the floating app that float over a fully open app is beautiful to observe. 13:35 65 minutes charge using a fast charger is just ideal for tablets and it's also futuristic for tablets device experience. 18:56 well imagine what it'll be able to do with a flagship processor and other flagship hardware. 20:06 The keyboard magnet definitely needs to be a lot stronger.
the video quality on youtube did not max out at 1080 p, if you notice at the last moment it switched to 1440 P, so it was only dependent on the quality of the video itself. I´m guessing it will go up to 4k no problem. I do it on my mate x3 with gbox as well without an issue.
Great review. Unfortunately between no video out and the restrictions here in the USA it may not be viable for my use case, but it looks good on paper for the most part.
Chinese crap always looks good on paper.
@@jasonarsenault1550 Are you on drugs?
Love the narrow bezels
Hopefully they'll release it here in japan 😢
Waoooow........... it looks stunning!
It really is! The screen is the best I've used and I think better than my Tab S9 Ultra. Plus light and thin build is stunning for the size of the screen.
I think it's a not huge problem for this SD 888 power-like chipset. Because Huawei has its own ecosystem, so they can optimize their own performance without too much power consumption as other ecosystems.
Outside of gaming you don;t see it anyway everything runs really fast and smooth. But if you run a benchmark or play say Genshin Impact max settings then it shows compared to my Tab S9 Ultra.
Yes, that's a noticable problem for heavy user in gaming. But for me, I think it's great enough. @@Techtablets
the ecosystem does not matter for speed, you could say the same thing for Samsung, Apple etc. Is it slower than a S8? Yes. Does that matter? Not so much. However this tablet is not priced like a midrange. It's priced like a flagship samsung or iPad
They are not in the same condition as Huawei. Samsung and Apple have the freedom to buy or use US technology as they want, and they upgrade their chipsets yearly. Since Huawei is lacking of chipset, they would try all their best to optimize their devices' performance as much as they could. @@_Digitalguy
@@_Digitalguylol are you expecting it to be sold at a midrange price?
Just look at it, does it look cheap?
Bro this is one of the best looking tablets fr (if you want a midrange tab you can buy a matepad or matepad air)
Awesome video! Loved the Amiga shirt! 👍🏻
Thank you
For productivity and video editing it is a fine tablet.
Maravillosa máquina ya quisiéra uno
Thanks man
I know this a tech channel but Gaza appeared for a second
Okay I can't control what websites display but I missed that, I have applied to have that blurred.
بی نظیر ❤️😍
0:50 Beautiful shirt! Amiga forever! 🥰
🤩 Amiga 500 for me was the best! So advanced for its time and I still play some of the old classic Amiga games like Shadow of the Beast and Cannon Fodder.
@@Techtablets Same, same. I still play to this day The Settlers. Shadow of the Beast? Then you will surely like Dead Cells 👍 Ahh Cannon Fodder, what a memory ; Syndicate, too 😊
Defender of the Crown, Rick Dangerous, Sensible Soccer, Monkey Island, Speedball, Lemmings, Another World, Eye of the Beholder, North and South, Rainbow Island, Populous, Pang, Turrican, Indiana Jones Last Crusade, Chaos Engine, Escape from Colditz... oh man, those wonderful childhood years...
Cool 🎉🎉
The instantaneous writing is the best feature
Love the shirt!
Thanks, the best PC of its day the Amiga 500.
@@Techtablets Yes, I have very fond memories of my A500.
Love the AMIGA shirt!
Thanks. Amiga 500 forever!
hey, any info for wireless debugging on harmonyos? thanks
*for gamepad use
Hi Chris,
Small request... Can you please do a review of the HiGole 2 Pro? It's a mini PC but considered a tablet hybrid because of its 5 inch touchscreen.
Would like to know if they were able to address the heating issue and RAM Management with the Higole 1.
Thanks so much
They can't use latest chips because of US restrictions. The proud thing is for them is they used their home made chip & that's stunning
Hey Chris, happy to see you review brand new Huawei tablet. 🎉
Thanks for watching!
Is GPU included in AnTuTu score? because antutu does not recognize maleon gpu. Also, is performance mode on? I would like you to compare other scores on AnTuTu. CPU mem and ux so can compare is it flagship or not. thanks
Why you enjoy crap❤❤
Great video Chris, well done👍
Do you have any security concerns running GBox?
Would love to see a review of the Huawei MatePad 11.5S Matte as well! Just released, looks like a good buy with similiar capability to this one (just smaller and Matte IPS screen).
Thumbs up for the Amiga shirt.
The best, had some great times with my Amiga 500 as a kid.
Jesus, that's a beautiful looking tablet. 😍
It really is!
The main point i think huawei would dominate others opponent which is wps pc and ppt pc, they hv all function like a normal pc excel and quite well performed
No video out in that category is unacceptable.
Yes I was surprised to see no video out and tested it many times as they have always had this before but dropped it now? Not sure why, we still have wireless display but it's not the same of course.
Tbh, even though my Mate pad 11 has it, I never use it
Do u actually use it? What for? I used tablet for a while and other than presentation I didn't use the video out.
And with nowadays tech (wireless cast), i don't think I'll need it anymore.
@@victorutomo7244 I use Dex on my S20 Plus all the time. I actually use my Steam Deck as my main PC with dual boot.
Yes, I'm that kind of guy. 😂
Yes, for me, No Video Out - Not Interseting
I'm looking for a tablet that allows for web development on the go. What do you suggest
I have been waiting for this tablet to go global, I'm definitely gonna swap my mate 11.5
You'll not be disappointed it's a stunner, the weight, size, screen and sound. Plus the stylus is one of the best I've tested.
@@Techtablets as expected from huawei, I've been with them since 2018 and since then I have already bought 3 of their tablets from the 10.8 Pro, 12.6 pro, 11.5 air and I hope this new one gets launched here in my country.
Very good review! This can be compared to Xiaomi Pad Max 14 because of it's size, plus, it already have keyboard and pen as part of it's package. That's a good bargain for me already. You just need to find a good workaround for other things it lacks. Not too bad.😁
this is almost double the price
Even the inferior midrangers had Mpencils and keyboards bundled with them during special promos or launches.
But it still bugs me how rare this silly stylus of them is.
@@_DigitalguyThe keyboard and stylus are quite pricey if bought separately.
Hi, Can you please compare it with Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra???
compared this to samsung galaxy tab s9+, which one do you prefer?
Im really liking the design of the device.
It's a stunner, amazing screen, light yet thin.
Very good. Where can I buy it? It's so beautiful, I don't want to use Apple anymore.
Wow❤❤❤.. When it will be available here in the Philippines?
Hi, it should be very soon!
3 mics on the same side?
It is expected that in the 5g LTE version users should be able to make and receive a phone call using 5 g sim card like a regular phone no BT calling or third-party application or work arround. Or hardware Compatibility issues etc .
Just seen video on Tech Spurt channel and suddenly your video comes out about same tablet 💪💪💪💪
Chris' reviews are second to none.
@@change2023now Facts
Yes as we all have the same embargo time so that's normal. Thanks for watching!
@@change2023now Thanks for the support! 😃
The tablet is support 4k on CZcams ? As I understood no, because the chip is not certificated by google
Oh. Front camera look so good, only urgly notch
It looks like 4k tbh
i wish you'd tried heavier art apps like medibang or something else
I think that you forgot one powerful feature, Device + (how the Huawei Eco system works together)
Seamlessly working together with every Huawei device.
Yes I've covered that in other videos. Huawei Super Device
What a beautiful and functional design. This should have been the new iPad pro design. It looks like the screen of a MacBook Pro. They really perfected the stand and keyboard design/functionality. Only the magnet connection of the keyboard needs to be more secure as well as backlit key illumination.
Why my matepad pro 13.2 only have widevine of L3???
What about gps support?
May I know what app you used to test out the M-Pencil? I cannot see pressure sensitivity in their notes app. Thank you!
It was bamboo
@@Techtablets Thanks so much! Loved the video by the way.
damn....its cool
Is it made out of metal?
Can it run google services by default?
Amazing tablet, but considering the price, that magnetic keyboard and back cover are kind of a joke. Too bad for the video-out and the 3.5" jack, lazy lazy Huawei, at least on the video-out. Also considering the old SoC, the price is too high for my taste. Those thin bezels are so cute! Well done Huawei and thanks for the usual perfect review, Chris.
But the price already includes the pen, keyboard, mouse, headphones (in my case plus a full pledged huawei headphones worth 300 USD for preorder) and premium office software.
Any chance of you reviewing the upcoming minisforum v3?
Sure if they send me a review unit.
I personally think that the chipset used for this tablet simply doesn't have that video out via USB-C function, whereas their previous flagship tablets have those due to Snapdragon chipset. It's a shame because I really like the design.
I think there have been devices with USB-C video out since the SD 835 on the S9. It’s just the usb-c port they used won’t allow it.
Yes I think the 88W type-C port was the reason, I would have prefered slower charging and video out. But I guess they thought 88W was better than the video out support.
How long does the M-Pencil battery last?
Well judging from my testing hours and hours. I used it for an hour or so and lost 14%, so it looks to last for around 5-6 hours and it doesn't take long to charge. Keyboard battery life away from the tablet I couldn't gauge that as there is no battery percent. Seems it's short for the keyboard around 1-2 hours is my guess.
Dose it got google apps ?
Hi, quick question. Does this tablet has emui desktop mode?
Unfortunately no.
I wanted to buy the Huawei Mate 60 Pro when it comes out.The chipset made me rethink my decision because i wanted to keep it for 4-5 years and i dont think the chipset is powerful enough, expecialy becouse I play games.
If you will play games on it, youd be better off with an ipad or an asus rog or a nubia gaming phone
Between this and the xiaomi pad 6s pro 12.4 which one do you recommend for note taking, media consumption not much gaming and maybe drawing.(In terms of smoothness of stylus,latency,palm rejection as well as the performance of keyboard and touchpad)
Definitely this tablet it has the better stylus.
@@TechtabletsJust one more question, is there a major difference between the china rom and global rom for Huawei products more specifically the tablets as neither have native Google support. As im looking to import one i wanted to know if i should look for a global rom or china rom is ok.
China ROM is fine but English and Chinese only.
Лучший экран с минимальным PWM
Using for a week, wow.
How long can I use the pen without connecting it to the tablet?
Oh for like 14 hours or days. I barely use battery life with it.
Can we install other os in matepad? like- windows, linux, chrome os, andorid custom rom, etc...
No we can't.
@@TechtabletsHi, Can you please compare it with Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra???
Can i install notion?
Chris please we want the matepad air 11.5 🙏💐
You're not the first or the last to ask. Okay I will reach out to Huawei and ask if they get send one to me to review.
Doesn't look like it's coming to the UK sadly :(
Hello,
What is the resolution on netflix?
SD unfortunately they are not registering that L1 cert yet. The same happened to the old model, but a few months later was working at 1080p.
OK, thank you for your response. Your video makes me want to buy it
so fastt bro
I try :)
كم سعرة بالعراق ?😊😊
Play store?
for such a laptop replacement screen size and good specs, the performace coulda been much much better. My OnePlus Pad 11.6 has more antutu score than this. Otherwise looks really good, but altho Harmony OS is solid it's gonna stay behind android mostly due to compatibility and apps.
Where do I buy this in Germany?
Huawei store
Looks nice but how does this compare this with the tab s8 ultra which you also have (or had), just curious on what its USP is given it doesnt have access to google play (or does it have access)? Its a shame it doesnt have video output as I use this function a lot on my tab s8 ultra.
I have the Tab S9 Ultra now, and this makes it feel like a heavy brick of a tablet. The screen I also think is superior at least to me. I can run all the GApps I need via GBox. Yes, MicroSD and Video out would have been great. Could have been the best Android tablet if it also had say a SD8Gen2 and those things.
The UI seems snapier that my Samsung S8 Tablet
It's very quick and you don't notice really the older chipset untill you game.
The biggest tragedy in tech ever was Huawei losing Google services and becoming irrelevant outside of China.
Yes, I hope to see them one day come back. They make some of the best tech.
Samsung says: keep my beer !
For the price of almost US$1k (or more for taxes plus shipping), is it really worth it?
Depends on your needs, stylus, screen and sound are fantastic but there those cons I pointed out like no MicroSD, video out and older chipset.
for tablets only ipads make sense
@@Techtablets Thanks Chris!
Always love your reviews.
Yeah, at this price, I might take on the Windows 2in1s. I am looking at the N100 tablet from GPD or the i3 from OneMix.
@@MLTAKOS
Eeeeeew, NO!!!
An overpriced iPAD NEVER made sense!
You'll get more productivity from Android or Windows.
@@saturn2fire not apple fanboy here but apart from the 60hz lack in cheaper ipads, every ipad is better value for money in each budget category and productivity yes completely for windows, medium on ipad and none on android
The thing is the bezel is too narrow. Dunno how to hold it comfortably with hands without worrying uninvited touch
Hi, it's just fine had no issues as they use some touch palm rejection.
Video out, backlit keyboard and snapdragon 8 gen 3... would be a massive banger.
Sure would be, hopefully they can release a revised version next year with that.
AMIGA!
Amiga 500 what an awesome PC it was in its day.
I'm struggling with Gbox, it doesn't have most of the apps I need, updates are a struggle to manage and the apps just go belly-up after a while of using them or running in the background (esp. youtube). huawei's are some of the most beautiful paperweights ever made...
Great specs but no official android support is a let down. i would have buy it.
Its android tho just not the way you think.. Only google with vanilla version while other brand with their own custom OS. Same as huawei
Not many people are going to notice the performance cause, as you said, outside of gaming it wouldn't be noticeable and I suspect, because most people don't game, that is going to be most people. Also the absolute lack of latency for the pen, the quality of the display and the fact that this may be the thinnest tablet ever made will be a big draw for many.
That said I'm not sure if I'm shocked or amused that you're the first tech reviewer to not fully understand everything that is going on around Huawei or specifically the Kirin 9000s. I'm wondering if this is maybe just an act for the review. But if you don't know Huawei is barred from getting it's hands on chips that have the capability of 5G access. This is why they have opted to use the Kirin 9000s not only is it the first advanced made-in-china chip but it gives Huawei devices 5G capability for the first time since 2019. But because of all that it is also means they will not be an upgrade to an 8 Gen 2 or something higher.
Not an act but I'm not getting involved in the China vs US politics and but merely looking at it for what it is. Reviewing it for what it is as tech without the politics or sanctions. It's a great tablet and day to day performance is very good and so smooth. The pen really seems to have no lag at all. Not enough to be able to detect it. Not having GMS is a dealbreaker for many especially those with a big catalog of bought apps they can't bring to this tablet. As for the future well I don't know what will happen if they can get some qualcomm chips or not or just keep using there own local fabricated chipsets like this one.
@@Techtablets Well in my comment I was only trying to make it clear why they have chosen to move to the Kirin Chip and probably won't be moving back anytime soon. The 5G antenna on the chip is actually better, by many reports, than anything you would find in an Apple phone capable of achieving faster 5G speeds and better in places with poor signal. It would have been great to see you test that out.
Looks quite good, but in the tablets market, IPad pro still the king!
Yes iPad Pro is still the top dog.
lol your funny
Nope. Samsung, with SD Gen 2 and super - amoled is the King !
@@victormarian7889 Nop, IPad still bit better
Unfortunately, no word on how the tablet works with an external monitor/screen.
Nice design but expensive af
Fair enough!
Still a bit pity that in terms of innovation, there still isn’t always-on LTPO display, and also 15W Qi2 wireless charging + multi gigabits/s, low latency, 60Ghz 802.11ay wireless docking functionalities : it would be VERY useful innovation that would bring a lot of convenience !!!
Bro did you even watch the video?
It is the first tablet to come with this kind of screen(just from looking at it you can tell that it's different)
The keyboard is wireless
The pen has no latency
It has very good camera (if not one of the best in a tablet after apple)
I think you should rewatch the video
Don't think he did or doesn't understand.
@@innocentanthony3324 Sure, I am not denying that, there is indeed some nice features, but not much really disruptive if I could say. There already exist a tablet with wireless keyboard (Robo & Kala), and Samsung Galaxy Tab 9 Ultra is waterproof with a a very nice OLED display. The tablet is nice, I just happen to think that in terms of priority, always-on LTPO OLED display, and Qi2 wireless charging + multi-gigabit would enable really new use cases, not yet done by any other brand…

SD888 is below midrange cpu this days. It wasn't a very good cpu with high heat.. With this cpu it should be much cheaper. Last year tab s8 ultra is actually better.
No video out over the USB-C is an instant no for me. I wonder whether it will appeal because of using it's own Harmony OS, with no Android support. Then you still have the fallout from the US ban.
It would need to be very keenly priced to succeed outside of it's native country and based on the prices given, I think it will fail quickly.
Such as shame as I still love my Mate 20 Pro phone.
It's a shame the tough position they are in. As for the prices it's more than I guess it would be but they will drop, just wait and see they always do end up coming right down after a few months.
And another huge tablet that didn't add video input support and in this case, not even output... Lenovo (tab extreme) is the only one actually thinking out of the box.
Yes I found it really strange it didn't have it and tested many cables and hubs. Nothing... Didn't expect that them removing it as the other tablets had it.
The score is that because antutu can't recognize the huawei GPU isn't a Mali.
They should make a tablet without rear facing camera. But i guess people would complain about it, coz people always wanna complain (even if they have never used a tablet’s camera 😂😂)
Wish there is cellular connection
Fr bro
Those thin bezels seem more like a nuisance than a positive aspect. Do people really don’t want something to grip on when using a tablet, and love that notch? 😂
Yes and no i've not really had any issues and most of the time I use it with the kickstand as a tablet of this size even if it's only 580 grams isn't something you'll be holding for too long. The touch rejection holding it also means there are no accidental touches.
Fugly notch, that's why I went for Sammy 9 + not ultra !
16:44 That’s 1440p, you shouldn’t do highest quality, bcus I think that’s still auto. I’ve you do advanced, then it does really let you choose highest
Okay
I was gonna say this. Advanced is the one that gives you options, not the first three.
With pricing close to 1700 NZD, yesteryear chipset and lack of native Google Play Framework, it's a bit of tall ask.
It is a big ask yes. But watch the price it's going to drop and fairly quickly.
I think in some aspect, Samsung flagship tablet still win. (Tab s9 ultra)
By far !
M-Pencil 3!? Look like the M-Pencil 2
Hello
