HUAWEI announced the launch of its new HUAWEI MatePad 11.5″S tablet in the Egyptian market last week. Tablets are the practical solution for a world full of technology
Their size is absolutely perfect and suitable for various activities, from relaxing to reading an e-book to watching favorite TV shows
Tablets are the Goldilocks of the tech world — just the right size for curling up with an ebook or streaming your favourite shows. With a stylus, they become a digital canvas. With a keyboard, they’re almost as good as a laptop
Yet, there’s a missing piece of the puzzle that keeps tablets from truly replacing books
If you have tried any serious reading on a tablet, you’ll know the struggle. It’s not quite the same as paper, is it? The eye strain, the glare, the lack of that comforting paper texture. But what if a tablet could change all that?
That’s the promise of HUAWEI MatePad 11.5″S with its new generation PaperMatte Display
Like Paper, But Better
The MatePad 11.5”S is the first-ever tablet with the new generation PaperMatte Display
The new generation PaperMatte Display offers a significantly better reading and writing experience and is smoother to the touch and resistant to fingerprints. It offers a 99% reduction in light interference and improves the screen transmittance to 95%
Put simply, that means more vibrant colours, better clarity, and even better comfort. And when it comes to writing, the nano-etched texture gives it that satisfying paper-like friction, allowing your stylus to glide with just the right amount of resistance. Doodling and notetaking feel natural and intuitive
The tablet is certified for low blue light emissions, flicker-free performance, and reflection-free viewing by TÜV Rheinland
It has also earned the SGS Low Visual Fatigue Premium Performance 2.0 Certification
That basically means this tablet will keep your eyes happy and healthy
The HUAWEI MatePad 11.5″S is a fundamental rethinking of how a tablet should look and feel. Think of it as the lovechild of a premium performance tablet and an e-ink writing tablet
The MatePad 11.5“S combines the best aspects of both. On the one hand, you get an expansive 11.5-inch HD FullView Display that boasts 2.8K resolution, an impressive 87% screen-to-body ratio, 144 Hz maximum refresh rate, and HDR vivid support, providing an unmatched level of visual experience.
And on the other, it is designed to give you the tactile joy of real paper with almost no glare and none of the eye strain
Boost Your Productivity with M-Pencil
What makes the MatePad 11.5″S even better is the HUAWEI M-Pencil (3rd Generation) and HUAWEI Smart Magnetic Keyboard
These two use Huawei’s NearLink technology, a wireless protocol that leaves Bluetooth in the dust when it comes to speed and responsiveness. With over 10,000 levels of pressure sensitivity, the M-Pencil (3rd Generation) is incredibly precise
The handwriting acceleration algorithm allows for ultra-low latency on the MatePad 11.5″S. Huawei’s calibration algorithm analyses your strokes and automatically adjusts for any imperfections. Even if you’re using a screen protector or the stylus tip is a little worn down, it keeps your strokes smooth
The adaptive pressure-sensing curve of the new M-Pencil is optimised for both drawing and writing. Additionally, the M-Pencil comes with a hard, transparent tip ideal for drawing and a soft, non-transparent tip with added resistance for writing. And it’s easy to switch between these tips
The detachable HUAWEI Smart Magnetic Keyboard snaps on magnetically and offers over 40 shortcuts for streamlined productivity. With three adjustable angles
it adapts to your needs, whether you’re crunching numbers in a spreadsheet or binging your favourite shows
Redesigned HUAWEI Notes with Note Replay
HUAWEI Notes, which comes pre-installed and free-to-use on the MatePad 11.5″S, brings a redesigned interface and some exciting new features. With the new Note Replay feature, you can jot down notes while simultaneously recording
audio. Later, you can tap on the notes to jump straight to the corresponding audio timestamp. Your notes and audio recordings will be perfectly synced
That’s pretty handy if you are attending a lecture or don’t want to miss any point in a meeting
The upgraded Lasso tool lets you easily select text, images or even hand-drawn elements. Once selected, you can effortlessly move, resize, copy, or change the color of the selected content, simplifying editing and layout design
What’s more, the paper-like writing experience on the MatePad 11.5″S takes the notetaking experience as close to what you get with a notepad and pen
Plus, the new GoPaint app developed by Huawei makes its debut on the HUAWEI MatePad 11.5″S, providing an authentic, professional, efficient, and user-friendly painting experience. Designed for
both professional creators and hobbyists, the app offers a natural drawing experience with over 100 brushes, including customised Arabic Calligraphy Brushes praised by renowned artist Mohammed Mandi
Redefines Performance and Style
The tablet comes with even more features for productivity-focused folks. The App Multiplier lets you split a single app into two separate windows, side-by-side. This lets you work on two documents simultaneously, compare spreadsheets, or even chat with different contacts in the same messaging app
With the right setup, you could even have up to four app instances running at once. The MatePad 11.5″S isn’t just a tablet; it’s a multitasking machine.
The MatePad 11.5″S is packing a 2×2 MIMO dual-antenna, which provides faster, more reliable wireless connection. It also boasts Wi-Fi 6 enhancement technology for the best wireless network experience
And it does all this while maintaining the MatePad’s sleek, minimalist aesthetic. Speaking of aesthetics, the MatePad 11.5″S integrated all-metal is both stylish and durable. At just 510g and 6.2mm thick, it’s easy to slip into your bag and take your creativity on the go
The HUAWEI MatePad 11.5″S delivers on the promise of a truly paper-like experience. But it is also more than that. It’s a versatile tool for creatives and students alike
The M-Pencil with NearLink delivers a smooth and responsive writing and drawing experience. GoPaint and the upgraded HUAWEI Notes app further enhance the tablet’s creative capabilities, making it a true digital studio and notepad in one
So, if you’ve been holding out for a tablet that truly delivers on the promise of versatility, this could be the one
