Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 чер 2024
- In my Huawei MatePad 11.5”S review, I reveal my thoughts on this fascinating iPad Air competitor. Is it good value for money? What’s HarmonyOS like? And is the PaperMatte display really all it’s cracked up to be?

What would it take to take you away from you iPad and onto a different platform?
This is good value for money. The new screen technology will be suitable for those users who want to have a better screen for reading and protecting their eyes.
A long term review (say 2 months) would be great! Tks
I can't wait for this to be release in the Philippines. So excited to use this in my work 😍
I'm hyped with this tablet because I always dreaming to try Nearlink but Huawei's phones too big for me (I'm a Xperia 5 guy) but for tablet, this is nice, the price also quite affordable. Nice device.
As always a good product from Huawei never disappoint me
The device is surprisingly so good and the price is so affordable
the non-S is for sale for £329 in the UK currently with free pencil and keyboard! That is amazing value and adding Google seems pretty straight forward.... for £329 it must be worth a punt for a tablet with pen and keyboard?!
So I just bought the old non-S with free pen and keyboard for £329 and my God it's brilliant! Took two minutes to get Google on it and set up my apple music account. The pen is superb, the build quality is great, the screen is lovely, it's fast, for the price I'm astonished. And this is coming from someone who had an iPad pro.
What is the difference between S and non-s?
@@robsawalker were you able to change the free keyboard to a UK layout one as the one included is US layout?
@@adamlowther8034 no. So the @ key and ' key are switched but still work correctly.
@@1726Meow not completely sure, but the S has an LED flash, the pen attaches and charges on it, will have a faster processor. Not sure what else. The pen not sticking or charging on the tablet is a tiny bit annoying, but not massive. I charge the pen on my wireless charger. I really am impressed by this tablet! For the money, it's incredible.
I'm a captive of the Apple ecosystem, but I absolutely love Huawei's hardware, all of it. The phones, watches (2 weeks battery e.g.) and notebooks are imho way better than Apple. The ecosystem is at least on par with Apple with the Huawei airdrop much more advanced. However overall the software is still not quite there, albeit it's getting there fast.
Please make a full review
Wow! Id love to see this tablet in person!
Hi, thanks for the review! Could you tell me the main difference between this and matepad air paper mate edition?
Full review ,bro . And gaming test .
Thanks man👍🏽
No problem 👍
Let's talk about how you cant even buy them in the US
Love the jibe to the Apple Polishing Cloth.
What about the latest Lenovo Tablet release?
Isn't there this alternative out there as well?
Could someone please tell me the main difference between this and air paper mate edition??? It seems very similar to air paper mate edition. I've ordered the air today, bu now undecided. Is it worth waiting for this one? My main purpose is reading
Could you please do a video on how to get the Google play store and apps working on this machine
How is your Apple Vision Pro? Is it now back it's box back on the shelf?
Apple Polishing Cloth is included in the box of the new iPad Pro with the nano texture display.
Does it support type c to hdmi output
What the processor?
Huawei excellent technology gonon❤❤❤❤
Hello thanks for this review, I m looking forwars for the long term review! Because this device will come out in mu country I think at around july! So that I can decide, I hope there still wps pc version and you will include that one in your long term review and gaming! Especially and genshin impact thank you so much!
bro where do you live? why did you have it so early?
You can do more with a cheaper Huawei pad than a crazy expensive iPad 😅
Is this tablet same as the Huawei matepad air?
Came out of the box "bent..."
Muahahahahaha hahahahahahaha!
Would you like to explain to the class what you found funny there?
@@MarkEllisReviews it tickled me Mark, because of "bend-gate"
It brought back all of those memes.
@@---us7qf I came out of the box bent, and i'm not offended!!!!
Oops, the word "box" in this instance may offend some people, apologies!!
Bit overboard on a cleaning cloth 🤪
The reality is people are reliant on Google services and regular software and security updates, a device like this is simply not worth the effort or the savings.
I still use my M1 iPad Pro 11" from 2021
Let's talk about the Huawei Security risk, how about that for a topic?
Keep that tin foil hat on!!.....
He’s not wrong but also it’s kinda overblown and most devices especially Chinese origin phones are doing so form of data collection on top of everything that android does, and before I get called out apple does it to.
Ok what about it?
If Huawei have security risk so is Appel, samsung...., they just want to destroy Huawei with this lies because they are afraid how successful don't forget how good it's products
@@CheerupA1 Well, you could always read about it... www.ncsc.gov.uk/information/huawei-advice-what-you-need-to-know
Are we okay with Huawei now? There was a bit of a fuss a while back regarding concerns that Huawei might feed data from users to the Chinese government. The UK government had to cancel plans to have Huawei take the lead in setting up 5G in the UK, if I remember right.
It's 2024. Not telling us what the chipset is? Have to side load ubiquitous apps? With iPad 10 at $349usd and m1 iPad Air at $399usd(late May) this would be a hard no even if I could buy one in the USA. I would stick with one of the Lenovo Chromebook Duets if you can't do the Apple thing. Cheers.
I rather have no iPad at all than an alternative lmao
There's just not a compelling reason to buy a Huawei phone of Tab in UK or US. Side loading ain't for me on a product that is identically priced to a ipad or Galaxy tab and this has an unnamed processor... Yea that's a hard pass for me. 👍🏻
Though the base 10th gen iPad is only 64 GB and 60 Hz, it’ll get app, OS and security updates for almost a decade. It costs 349 bucks, and after two years you could probably sell it on for 200. This MatePad doesn’t have a user friendly App Store, questionable security, will probably slow down and be annoying to use after 2 years, and due to that and the low demand- it will be e-waste. Literally impossible to justify over the iPad, nor a Samsung/Lenovo tablet
🙅🏼♂️ no Chinese spy ware Mark how good it might be
ugh, nah.
It looks ok. Looks like a Samsung clone. Not having access to the google play store OOB makes this a definite no for me. I don’t want a workaround I want a tablet that works.
sorry but android tablet apps are trash
Android will never defeat Ipados
Don't buy shit like this unless the only purpose is to watch UA-cam
Can't wait for it to go on sale. Very promising gadget.
Interesting device. I wouldn’t buy an iPad knock off and this is what it is. The design is a blatant copy.
I would be concerned about security and the resale value will be peanuts.
The price is tempting but I would rather have iPadOs with its many limitations.
So it’s meh 🫤 from me.
