HUAWEI MatePad Pro In-Depth Review : A Great Bargain!

We had some time with the HUAWEI MatePad Pro – a premium 10.8-inch tablet built around the Kirin 990 flagship platform.

Find out why we love its complete tablet experience so much, we gave it our Reviewer’s Choice Award!

HUAWEI MatePad Pro : 10.8-inch Flagship Tablet

The HUAWEI MatePad Pro (US | UK | MY | SG | AU) is a flagship tablet with a 10.8-inch display. It uses an LCD panel, with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 and a wide DCI-P3 colour gamut.

Built around the HUAWEI Kirin 990 flagship mobile platform, it features fast CPU and GPU cores and two neural processing cores.

HUAWEI is offering it in 5G, 4G and Wi-Fi variants, with 6 GB or 8 GB memory options, and storage options of 128 GB, 256 GB or 512 GB.

Our review sample is the Wi-Fi only model (MRX-W09), with 8 GB RAM and 256 GB storage. Here is our hands-on experience!

Holding the MatePad Pro vertically, on the left side, you will find its SIM / NM card tray.

In 5G / 4G models, the tray accepts either two nano SIM cards, or one nano SIM card and an NM card.

In Wi-Fi only models like this one – the tray only accepts a single NM card.

The Volume control buttons are located at the top of the right side, near the front and rear cameras.

Next to it is another one of the five microphones that are used to help you record better audio with noise cancellation.

The Power button is located at the top, near the Volume control buttons on the right side. You will also see two rows of speaker ports at the top.

The HUAWEI MatePad Pro actually has a Harman Kardon-tuned quad-speaker system. The other two speakers are located at the bottom, flanking its USB Type C port.

HUAWEI MatePad Pro : A Complete Package

The HUAWEI MatePad Pro (US | UK | MY | SG | AU) can be purchased as a tablet alone. But HUAWEI offers a bundle (Midnight Grey | Pearl White) which includes the Smart Magnetic Keyboard and M-pencil.

The Smart Magnetic Keyboard doubles as a case, and offers two stand angles, and a keyboard with 1.3 mm keystroke travel.

The HUAWEI M-pencil is a full-sized stylus with a built-in battery, that lets you writer and draw directly on the MatePad Pro with 4,096 pressure levels.

Both accessories lock magnetically to, and is powered by the MatePad Pro. The M-pencil can also be recharged by any device that supports the Qi wireless charging standard.

This nice bundle (Midnight Grey | Pearl White) gives you a complete tablet experience, right out of the box.

HUAWEI MatePad Pro : Price + Availability

The HUAWEI MatePad Pro is available in the Midnight Grey or Pearl White colour options at these launch prices :

5G (6GB + 128GB) : €599
5G (8GB + 256GB) : €699
Wi-Fi (8GB + 256GB) : RM 2,399 / ~US$551 / ~£445 / ~A$909 / ~S$790

HUAWEI MatePad Pro : Key Features

Flagship Kirin 990 Mobile Platform

The HUAWEI MatePad Pro (US | UK | MY | SG | AU) uses the latest Kirin 990 mobile SoC, which also powers the P40 Pro smartphones.

The HiSilicon Kirin 990 features a triple-tier architecture, with :

two ARM Cortex-A76 high-performance cores at 2.86 GHz
two ARM Cortex-A76 sustained performance cores at 2.09 GHz (2.36 GHz for Kirin 990 5G)
four ARM Cortex-A55 low-power cores at 1.86 GHz (1.95 GHz for Kirin 990 5G)

It also comes with a powerful 16-core ARM Mali-G76 GPU, and a new Da Vinci neural architecture.

The regular Kirin 990 has with 1 Big Core NPU + 1 Tiny Core NPU, while the Kirin 990 5G has 2 Big Core NPUs + 1 Tiny Core NPU.

RAM + Storage

Our review sample was the MRX-W09 model, with 8 GB RAM and 256 GB storage.

Out of the 8 GB of RAM, 5.46 GB is available to use – more than enough to easily run multiple apps at the same time.

For perspective, high-end mobile games like PUBG Mobile and Asphalt 9 use less than 1.2 GB of RAM.

And out of the box, you have a whopping 241 GB of free storage space – enough to store some 68,000 photos!

256 GB of storage is definitely more than sufficient for most users. But if you ever run out of storage, you can always add additional storage through an NM card.

The NM card is basically a microSD card in the size of a nano SIM card. However, because it is a proprietary HUAWEI storage technology, NM cards cost more than microSD cards, and are harder to come by.

10.8-inch DCI-P3 Display

The HUAWEI MatePad Pro (US | UK | MY | SG | AU) comes with a large 10.8-inch display, with a high resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels.

Thanks to its punch hole camera and narrow 4.9 mm bezels, it has a very impressive 90% screen-to-body ratio.

The display has a maximum brightness of 540 nits, which allows for pretty good viewing outdoors, just not under direct sunlight.

More importantly, its wide DCI-P3 colour gamut allows it to accurately replicate the digital movie experience.

Front Camera

The HUAWEI MatePad Pro comes with a decent 8 MP front camera, hidden in a punch hole.

Surprisingly, it can record 4K videos at 30 fps, or 1080p videos at 60 fps. And its large f/2.0 aperture allows for better low-light performance.

Rear Camera

At the back, it has a 13 MP camera with a large f/1.8 aperture for even better low-light performance.

Like the front 8 MP camera, it is capable of recording 4K videos at 30 fps, or 1080p videos at either 30 fps or 60 fps.

This camera is supported by a single LED flash, and a microphone for better audio recording.

HUAWEI MatePad Pro : Specifications (5G / 4G / Wi-Fi)

HUAWEI MatePad Pro : Battery Life

The HUAWEI MatePad Pro comes with a massive 7,250 mAh battery. To test its battery life, we turned off Automatic Brightness, and set its display brightness to 50%.

Why 50%? That is actually slightly higher than the average indoor brightness level of 40% during the day, and is what we usually use in all our mobile battery life tests.

It is important to fix the brightness level, to make sure the screen brightness does not change as the room brightness changed.

We then ran the PCMark Work 2.0 battery life test until its battery capacity dropped to 20% several times, and this was the best result we obtained :

That’s a phenomenal 14 hours of battery life on a large 10.8-inch display! Very impressive!

Do remember that the display was set to a slightly higher brightness while running the benchmark non-stop for a full 14 hours.

HUAWEI MatePad Pro : Recharging Speed

Our Wi-Fi only model supports 20 watt fast charging, like the 4G models. But do keep in mind that the 5G models support 27 watt fast charging.

Take a look at how fast the HUAWEI MatePad Pro recharges its 7,250 mAh battery using 20 watt fast charging!

Impressive! The HUAWEI MatePad Pro only took 1 hour 38.5 minutes to fully recharge its battery from 20% to 100%.

That gives it a recharging speed of about 58.9 mAh per minute, which is actually faster than some devices that support 25W or 27W fast charging.

This gives it a good battery life : recharging ratio of 8.5:1. A general rule of thumb – for one of hour battery life, you just need to charge it for 7 minutes.

Incidentally, it recharged fastest up to the 90% point, which took just 1 hour 15.5 minutes. The final 10% required an additional 23 minutes.

HUAWEI MatePad Pro Work Performance : PCMark

We tested its performance using PCMark, which simulates work applications like web browsing, playing video, writing text and editing photos.

Work 2.0	Galaxy S20 Ultra	Galaxy Note10+	MatePad Pro	Black Shark 2 Pro

The Kirin 990 may not be as fast as the greatly improved Samsung Exynos 990, but it certainly offers flagship-class performance.

You will note that it is slightly faster than the Snapdragon 855+, which is overclocked version of Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon 855 mobile SoC.

HUAWEI MatePad Pro Gaming Performance : 3DMark

We tested its gaming performance using 3DMark, with these results.

3DMark	Galaxy S20 Ultra	Black Shark 2 Pro	Galaxy Note10+	MatePad Pro
Mobile Platform	Exynos 990	Snapdragon 855+	Exynos 9825	Kirin 990

Price Check	US \| UK \| MY \| SG \| AU	UK \| MY \| SG \| AU	US \| UK\| MY	US \| UK \| MY \| SG \| AU

The HiSilicon Kirin 990 is definitely not as fast as the new Samsung Exynos 990, or the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+, but it’s no slouch.

It roughly performs at the same level as last year’s Exynos 9825 that powered the Samsung Galaxy Note10+, can easily handle any games thrown at it.

HUAWEI MatePad Pro Gaming Performance : AnTuTu

We then tested it using AnTuTu, yielding these results :

AnTuTu	Galaxy S20 Ultra	MatePad Pro	Black Shark 2 Pro	Galaxy Note10+
Mobile Platform	Exynos 990	Kirin 990	Snapdragon 855+	Exynos 9825

Price Check	US \| UK \| MY \| SG \| AU	US \| UK \| MY \| SG \| AU	UK \| MY \| SG \| AU	US \| UK\| MY

According to AnTuTu though, the HUAWEI MatePad Pro (US | UK | MY | SG | AU) is actually slightly faster than the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+, and just 14% slower than the Samsung Exynos 990.

HUAWEI MatePad Pro : Our Verdict + Award

If you are looking for a powerful tablet that is also affordable, the HUAWEI MatePad Pro (US | UK | MY | SG | AU) will be right at the top of the list.

Built around the powerful Kirin 990 mobile platform, it comes with a large 10.8-inch DCI-P3 display, 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage.

All that is powered by a large 7,250 mAh battery (which lasted 14 hours in our test!), packed in a sleek metal chassis that is less than 8 mm thin, and weighs just 460 grams.

Best of all – HUAWEI is only selling it at the RRP of RM 2,399 / ~US$551 / ~£445 / ~A$909 / ~S$790.

Its closest competitor is the 11-inch Apple iPad Pro, and that costs a whooping RM 3,949 / ~US$923 / ~£739 / ~A$1,342 / ~S$1,285 – a 65% premium over the MatePad Pro!

And it gets even better when you add in the accessories. To make it easier to compare, we created this table :

	HUAWEI MatePad Pro (8GB + 256GB)	Apple iPad Pro (11-inch)	Difference
Tablet Only	RM 2,399 ~US$551 ~£445 ~A$909 ~S$790	RM 3,949 ~US$923 ~£739 ~A$1,342 ~S$1,285	+65%
Tablet + Stylus + Keyboard	RM 3,197 ~US$747 ~£596 ~A$1,086 ~S$1,040	RM 5,847 ~US$1,367 ~£1,091 ~A$1,986 ~S$1,903	+83%

The HUAWEI MatePad Pro with all of its accessories has a RRP of RM 3,197 / ~US$747 / ~£596 / ~A$1,086 / ~S$1,040.

But while Apple products have fixed prices, you can actually get the full MatePad Pro bundle at lower prices. For example, the official bundle deals for Midnight Grey | Pearl White here in Malaysia.

The HUAWEI MatePad Pro definitely wins hands down, based on value proposition alone. You can actually buy two full MatePad Pro bundles (Midnight Grey | Pearl White) for the price of a single 11-inch iPad Pro bundle, and have enough money leftover for a nice meal for two!

That is why we are very glad to give the HUAWEI MatePad Pro (US | UK | MY | SG | AU) our Reviewer’s Choice Award!

HUAWEI MatePad Pro : No Google Mobile Services?

Now, let’s address elephant in the room – the HUAWEI MatePad Pro (US | UK | MY | SG | AU) runs on EMUI 10.1, with HMS (HUAWEI Mobile Services), instead of GMS (Google Mobile Services).

This means you no longer have access to the Google Play Store, and have to use HUAWEI AppGallery instead.

This is really not a big issue for many users, because HUAWEI has worked hard to add many key apps to their AppGallery. You can see just how many apps are already available on AppGallery in this video :

Even so, there is simply no way for HUAWEI to replicate the tons of Android apps that are already on Google Play Store.

For apps that are not available on the HUAWEI AppGallery, you will have to use HUAWEI Phone Clone, or directly download their APK installation files from APK repositories.

The lack of Google Play Services and the Google Play Store will, undoubtedly, be an issue for many users. Some Android require GMS for certain features :

Telegram : GMS is required for location services. You can use it, you just cannot search for a location, or share your location.
Gmail : You will have to use a different email client, like Outlook. Or just use a web browser to get access to Gmail.
YouTube : The YouTube app requires GMS, so you will have to watch YouTube on a web browser.
Grab : The Grab app requires GMS for mapping functions. You can use it, but you won’t be able to locate your current position, or track your trip.

That’s why we cannot give the MatePad Pro our Editor’s Choice Award, even though it would have qualified.

But if you can live with what’s available on HUAWEI AppGallery, or are comfortable downloading from APK repositories, then the HUAWEI MatePad Pro (US | UK | MY | SG | AU) offers truly great value for your money.

HUAWEI MatePad Pro : Price + Availability

The HUAWEI MatePad Pro is available in the Midnight Grey or Pearl White colour options at these launch prices :

5G (6GB + 128GB) : €599
5G (8GB + 256GB) : €699

HUAWEI MatePad Pro 5G : Everything You Need To Know!

Leave a reply

HUAWEI just upped the ante by introducing the 5G variant of their MatePad Pro premium tablet, with a few tweaks under the hood!

Here is everything you need to know about the new HUAWEI MatePad Pro 5G tablet!

HUAWEI MatePad Pro 5G : Everything You Need To Know!

If you read our review of the HUAWEI MatePad Pro, you will know that we were so impressed with its performance and value proposition, we gave it our Reviewer’s Choice Award.

HUAWEI has just upped the ante by introducing a 5G variant, called, obviously enough – the MatePad Pro 5G.

Kirin 990 5G Mobile Platform

The main difference is its processor – it uses the HiSilicon Kirin 990 5G mobile SoC, which has a built-in Balong 5G modem.

This is a multi-mode modem that lets the MatePad Pro connect to 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G networks.

In addition, the Kirin 990 5G is faster than the non-5G variant, with an additional NPU :

two ARM Cortex-A76 high-performance cores at 2.86 GHz
two ARM Cortex-A76 sustained performance cores at 2.36 GHz (2.09 GHz for Kirin 990)
four ARM Cortex-A55 low-power cores at 1.95 GHz (1.86 GHz for Kirin 990)
two Big Core NPUs + one Tiny Core NPU (1 Big + 1 Tiny for Kirin 990)

3D Graphene Cooling System

To keep the Kirin 990 5G cool, the HUAWEI MatePad Pro 5G features the industry’s first ultra-thick 3D graphene cooling system.

This cooling system is enhanced by AI thermal management, to help keep the tablet cool during scenarios that generate large amounts of heat – downloading on 5G, wireless / reverse wireless charging.

Faster Charging + Wireless Reverse Charging

The HUAWEI MatePad Pro 5G supports 40 watt fast charging – twice as fast as 20 watts fast charging supported regular MatePad Pro tablets.

It also supports 27 watt wireless charging – almost twice as fast as 15 watts wireless charging supported by regular MatePad Pro tablets.

MeeTime : Free Voice + Video Calls On HUAWEI Devices!

Leave a reply

Apple has FaceTime, and now, HUAWEI has MeeTime, offering FREE video and voice calls.

Find out what features HUAWEI MeeTime offers over its competitors!

HUAWEI MeeTime : What Is It?

Like Apple FaceTime, HUAWEI MeeTime is a proprietary video and voice service that FREE video and voice calls, albeit only on their respective devices.

HUAWEI introduced MeeTime in EMUI 10.1, and it currently works with HUAWEI devices like :

HUAWEI MateBook X Pro (MY)
HUAWEI P40 Pro+
HUAWEI P40 Pro (Deep Sea Blue | Silver Frost | Blush Gold)
HUAWEI P40 (Deep Sea Blue | Silver Frost | Blush Gold)
HUAWEI MatePad Pro (US | UK | MY | SG | AU)

But unlike claims of free Internet and calls through BeiDou, MeeTime actually delivers free voice and video calls.

HUAWEI MeeTime : Key Features

Of course, you can already make free voice and video calls on other apps, like WhatsApp and Telegram. So let’s find out what features HUAWEI MeeTime offers over their competitors :

Feature #1 : Full HD Quality

HUAWEI MeeTime supports video calling at resolutions of up to 1080p (Full HD) – 1920 x 1080 pixels.

And thanks to built-in optimisations (see below), it can maintain that video resolution even with weak cellular or Wi-Fi reception.

Feature #2 : Screen Sharing

HUAWEI MeeTime has a two-way Screen Sharing function that lets users share their screens while chatting, which can be extremely useful.

For instance, you can use it to share what flights you just found with your partner, without sending it as a separate message, or interrupting the chat.

Feature #3 : Third Party Support

While HUAWEI MeeTime is a proprietary technology limited to HUAWEI devices, they are encouraging third party vendors to integrate their devices. For example :

Kandao Meeting 360° : You can connect your HUAWEI device to this Kandao teleconferencing camera to take advantage of its pro-grade features.
Drift Ghost Action Cameras : You can connect your HUAWEI smartphone to a Drift Ghost camera strapped to your vehicle to livestream your adventures.

Feature #4 : Network Adaptation

In poor network conditions, HUAWEI MeeTime dynamically adapts to changes in bandwidth, and uses super resolution technology to compensate for the loss of video quality, in real time.

In addition, it uses the Link Turbo technology to dynamically switch between Wi-Fi and LTE to deliver the best possible speeds, without interruption.

Feature #5 : Low Light Adaptation

HUAWEI MeeTime adapts dynamically to low light conditions, using facial recognition technology and other optimisations.

Feature #6 : End-to-End Encryption

In addition to working only on HUAWEI devices, HUAWEI MeeTime requires you to sign-in with a HUAWEI ID.

To assuage concerns of privacy, all calls are encrypted end-to-end by default. This guarantees that no one else can listen into your conversations.

HUAWEI just introduced a new 5G smartphone – the nova 7 SE, which comes with a 64 MP quad-camera system.

Join us for our hands-on experience, and find out if the HUAWEI nova 7 SE is the affordable 5G smartphone you have been waiting for!

HUAWEI nova 7 SE : Colour Options

The HUAWEI nova 7 SE will come in three colour options (from left to right) – Space Silver, Crush Green, Midsummer Purple.

HUAWEI nova 7 SE : Price + Deal!

The HUAWEI nova 7 SE has an official RRP of RM 1,499 / ~US$350 / ~£280 / ~A$513 / S$528. Here are some online purchase options :

Malaysia : Space Silver | Crush Green

Singapore : Space Silver | Crush Green

Best of all, every purchase comes with these great freebies :

HUAWEI Band 4
HUAWEI nova 7 SE case
3 months subscription to dimsum
6 months subscription to HUAWEI Book
12 months subscription to HUAWEI Cloud (15 GB)
HUAWEI Member Center Rewards worth RM 1,000
A chance to win 1 of 3 Proton X70 cars!

HUAWEI nova 7 SE : Hands-On Experience!

The HUAWEI nova 7 SE 5G is designed to be an affordable 5G variant of the nova 7i that was launched earlier.

It is powered by the Kirin 820 5G platform, and runs on EMUI 10 with HMS. Our review unit comes with 8 GB RAM and 128 GB of internal storage.

On top of using a faster 5G-capable platform, the SE version comes with an upgraded 64 MP main camera, together with an 8 MP ultra-wide camera, a 2 MP macro camera, and a 2 MP depth sensor.

On the left side, you will find the SIM + NM card tray. This is a hybrid SIM tray, which supports two nano SIM cards, or one nano SIM card and one NM card.

The NM card is HUAWEI’s proprietary storage card – basically, a nano SIM-sized microSD card.

The Volume control buttons are on the right side, together with the Power button that doubles as a fingerprint sensor.

The side placement of the fingerprint sensor allows you to unlock the smartphone even when it’s mounted to your car’s dashboard.

There’s nothing at the top, except for a second microphone port, which is used for noise cancellation.

The HUAWEI nova 7 SE comes with a 3.5 mm audio jack, located at the bottom, together with the USB Type C port.

The HUAWEI nova 7 SE is powered by a relatively-large 4,000 mAh battery, which can be quickly recharged by its 40 watt fast charger.

HUAWEI nova 7 Series : How To Install The Apps You Want!

All HUAWEI nova 7 series smartphones run on EMUI 10 with HUAWEI Mobile Services replacing Google Mobile Services.

Many potential buyers are concerned about what apps they can install on HUAWEI Mobile Services. So here are the two ways you can install the apps you want.

Using HUAWEI Phone Clone

HUAWEI Phone Clone offers an easy way to migrate all of your favourite Android apps from your old smartphone to any HUAWEI nova 7 series smartphone.

HUAWEI Phone Clone comes pre-installed on the HUAWEI nova 7 series smartphone, and you are given the option to use it during the installation process.

Just let it link, and sync both devices, to transfer all of the data and apps from your old smartphone to your HUAWEI nova 7 series smartphone. It’s that easy!

Using HUAWEI AppGallery

HUAWEI AppGallery is the replacement for Google Play Store, and serves as a way for HUAWEI to deliver apps through HUAWEI Mobile Services (which replaces Google Mobile Services).

When it first started out, it was quite bare, but HUAWEI spent an incredible amount of time, money and resources to entice developers to add their apps.

Here is a quick look at the number of apps you can now download through HUAWEI AppGallery.

Note : Apps That Require GMS

Do note that some Android apps require GMS for some features.

Telegram : GMS is required for location services. You can use it, you just cannot search for a location, or share your location.
Gmail : You will have to use a different email client, like Outlook. Or just use a web browser to get access to Gmail.
YouTube : The YouTube app requires GMS, so you will have to watch YouTube on a web browser.
Grab : The Grab app requires GMS for mapping functions. You can use it, but you won’t be able to locate your current position, or track your trip.

HUAWEI Mate Xs Foldable Smartphone : Hands-On Preview!

Leave a reply

We recently had access (for a limited time) with a few HUAWEI Mate Xs foldable smartphones, and here is our hands-on preview!

We will also share with you EVERYTHING you need to know about the HUAWEI Mate Xs, including its specifications and price!

HUAWEI Mate Xs : Hands-On Experience!

Let’s start with our hands-on experience with the new HUAWEI Mate Xs foldable smartphone. Be sure to check out how the Falcon Wing mechanism works, and look at how flat the display looks after it’s fully unfolded!

The only buttons you will find on the Mate Xs are located along the right edge – the Power button which doubles as the fingerprint sensor, and the Volume control buttons.

The HUAWEI Mate Xs comes with a dual-slot hybrid card tray at the top. It supports two nano SIM cards, or a single nano SIM card and an NM card (for additional storage of up to 256 GB).

Even though it comes with a substantial camera bar on the right side, there is no 3.5 mm audio jack. Only a USB Type C, which supports USB 3.1 Gen1 – basically USB 3.0.

There is no “front camera”, because of its foldable design – you can just flip it over and use the back display and the “rear cameras” for selfies. This gives you great flexibility because the Leica quad camera system offers :

a 40 MP main camera, with f/1.8 aperture
a 16 MP ultra-wide camera, with f/2.2 aperture
an 8 MP telephoto camera, with f/2.4 aperture, and
a Time of Flight camera, with f/2.2 aperture

But its main killer feature is the ability to unfold the display to create a large, tablet-like 8-inch OLED display!

When folded, the front display is 6.6-inch in size, while the rear display is 6.38-inch in size.

HUAWEI Mate Xs : Improved HUAWEI Mate X!

The HUAWEI Mate Xs is basically an improved version of their first foldable smartphone, the HUAWEI Mate X.

It features the same design, with an external 8-inch foldable display, and a Leica quad-camera system. But there have been some changes internally.

New 5G Mobile Platform

Instead of pairing the Kirin 980 mobile SoC with the Balong 5000 5G chip, the HUAWEI Mate Xs uses the new Kirin 990 5G mobile SoC, with a triple-tier architecture :

two ARM Cortex-A76 high-performance cores at 2.86 GHz
two ARM Cortex-A76 sustained performance cores at 2.36 GHz
four ARM Cortex-A55 low-power cores at 1.95 GHz

It also comes with a powerful 16-core ARM Mali-G76 GPU, and a new Da Vinci neural architecture with 2 big NPUs and 1 small NPU.

Improved Cooling

Keeping the Kirin 990 5G cool is a new flexible bionic graphite cooling system that folds with the display, and dissipates heat through both sections.

Improved Falcon Wing Mechanism

While it uses the same foldable design and foldable OLED display, the Falcon Wing mechanism has been improved somewhat.

Leica Quad Camera System

The Leica quad camera system which works as both front and rear cameras offer great flexibility due to its mix of cameras :

a 40 MP main camera, with f/1.8 aperture
a 16 MP ultra-wide camera, with f/2.2 aperture
an 8 MP telephoto camera, with f/2.4 aperture, and
a Time of Flight camera, with f/2.2 aperture

HUAWEI Mate Xs vs Mate X : Specifications

In this table, we compare the specifications of the new HUAWEI Mate Xs against its predecessor, the HUAWEI Mate X.

Specifications	HUAWEI Mate Xs	HUAWEI Mate X
Display	8-inch OLED display : 2200 x 2480 pixels Folded main screen : 6.6-inch (1148 x 2480 pixels) Folded secondary screen : 6.38-inch (892 x 2480 pixels)

HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro 5G : Why You Should Buy It NOW!

Leave a reply

When HUAWEI announced the Mate 30 Pro 5G, people asked – why do we need to buy one when there is limited or no 5G coverage?

Find out who should purchase the Mate 30 Pro 5G, and why you should purchase it NOW.

HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro 5G : Who Should Buy One?

First thing we should get across is that not everyone needs a 5G smartphone right now. So who should purchase one, and why right now?

Let’s start with some reasons why the Mate 30 Pro 5G may be the right choice for you :

Reason #1 : Your Ticket To 5G Connectivity Worldwide

If you travel a lot, a 5G smartphone like the HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro 5G will allow you to enjoy the best of both established 4G networks and new 5G networks globally.

So far, 47 countries have already commercialised 5G networks, so the Mate30 Pro 5G will let you enjoy the best possible connectivity, whether it’s 5G or 4G.

Reason #2 : Best Possible 5G Connectivity

HUAWEI is the only end-to-end 5G network supplier, delivering everything from the core network to terminal equipment. This is why the 5G networks in most countries are built by HUAWEI, including China, UK, Germany, Italy and Dubai.

Needless to say, they tested the HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro 5G extensively against their 5G networks, guaranteeing that it will deliver the best possible 5G connectivity of any 5G smartphone.

Reason #3 : Integrated 5G Baseband + Faster AI Performance

The HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro 5G is built around the Kirin 990 5G platform, which is different in two aspects from the Kirin 990 platform used in the regular Mate30 Pro (4G) :

Integrated 5G baseband with support for SA / NSA modes
3 NPUs (2 big + 1 small), instead of just 2 NPUs (1 big + 1 small)

This should give the 5G model a significant boost in AI performance, in addition to 5G network connectivity.

We should also note that by integrating the 5G baseband into the chip, it will use significantly less power than discrete (separate) 5G chips used in other 5G smartphones.

Reason #4 : All-Aspect Antenna Design

The HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro 5G uses an all-aspect antenna design. Out of its 21 antennas, 14 are 5G antennas, ensuring a stable 5G connection and eliminating the possibility of a “death grip”.

Thanks to close optimisation with their 5G network equipment, HUAWEI also reports that it not only delivers 50% faster 5G connectivity than competing 5G smartphones, it also consumes less power.

At a recent test in Langkawi, HUAWEI was able to demonstrate a download speed of 1.8 Gbps!

Reason #5 : First SIRIM-Certified 5G Smartphone

While other brands have tried to be the first to introduce 5G smartphones, the HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro 5G is the first SIRIM-certified 5G smartphone.

Not only is it the first 5G smartphone certified for use in Malaysia, it is certified for use with 5G networks globally.

HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro 5G : Our Opinion

Many of us no longer change our smartphones every year, using them for 2.5 years or longer.

[adrotate group=”2″]

While the Mate 30 Pro (4G) is a great smartphone in its own right, the 5G model will keep you future-proofed.

With 5G networks here in Malaysia and around the world coming online this year, opting for the 5G model will mean you don’t have to upgrade your smartphone to enjoy 5G connectivity.

More importantly, it is just slightly more expensive than the 4G model at RM 4,199 (roughly US$1,019 / £776 / A$1,523 / S$1,399).

So the decision for us is really a no-brainer – if you are planning to purchase the HUAWEI Mate30 Pro, it’s really a smarter choice to opt for the 5G model.

HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro 5G : Why Buy It Now?

Now, if you like the HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro 5G, you should take advantage of their pre-order / early bird offer.

HUAWEI Malaysia is offering this pre-order / early bird special – exclusive gifts worth RM 537 :

HUAWEI Wireless In-Car SuperCharge charger
HUAWEI Care (1-year extended warranty)

On top of that, these online retailers are offering even sweeter deals for pre-orders / early bird purchases :

Store	Price	Free Gifts
DirectD	RM 4199	HUAWEI Care HUAWEI SuperCharge wireless in-car charger HUAWEI SuperCharge car charger HUAWEI Soundstone CM51 HUAWEI Body Scale HUAWEI CM510 Bluetooth Speaker
Gadgets House	RM 4199	HUAWEI Care HUAWEI SuperCharge wireless in-car charger HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro case HUAWEI Smart Band 3 HUAWEI Mini Bluetooth Speaker
HUAWEI Premium Store	RM 4199	HUAWEI Care HUAWEI SuperCharge car charger HUAWEI Body Scale

So this is really the best time ever to purchase the HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro 5G smartphone!

HUAWEI MediaPad M6 10.8″ Tablet : All You Need To Know!

Leave a reply

HUAWEI just announced their latest flagship tablet – the MediaPad M6 10.8″, which boasts a powerful flagship processor, 2K display and quad speakers tuned by Harman Kardon!

Here is a quick primer on the new HUAWEI MediaPad M6 10.8″ tablet. Find out if this is the tablet you have been waiting for!

The HUAWEI MediaPad M6 10.8″ Tablet

The HUAWEI MediaPad M6 is a flagship tablet, built around the Kirin 980 – a powerful 7 nm mobile SoC, whose performance is further enhanced by their GPU Turbo technology.

In addition, it comes with a IPS touch display with a 2K resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels, and HUAWEI ClariVu technology.

For a more cinematic audio experience, HUAWEI also equipped the MediaPad M6 10.8″ with a new quad-channel, quad-speaker sound system tuned by Harman Kardon.

HUAWEI EMUI 10 – Everything You Need To Know!

Leave a reply

HUAWEI just launched the EMUI 10 operating system, which promises to break the boundary between devices, and allow a seamless experience between different devices.

Here is everything you need to know about EMUI 10 – what it offers, and when it will be made available for HUAWEI smartphones!

EMUI 10 – The Highlight Of HUAWEI Developers Conference 2019

On 9 August 2019, Dr. Wang Chenglu, President of the Software Engineering Department at the HUAWEI Consumer Business Group officially unveiled EMUI 10 at the HUAWEI Developers Conference 2019.

Sadly, we were not present at HUAWEI Developers Conference 2019. However, we can share with you what’s new in EMUI 10!

EMUI 10 To Break Cross-Device Boundary

According to HUAWEI, EMUI 10 will break the boundary between devices, and allow a seamless experience between different devices.

Their premise appears to be based on the fact that many of us use multiple devices – many of us have two smartphones, or use a tablet and most certainly, a computer too.

And in a growing number of homes and offices, we have smart IoT devices too. But we have yet to have the ability to seamlessly control and manage them all.

HUAWEI has apparently designed EMUI 10 to solve this cross-device conundrum. How will they do this? Let’s take a look…

New EMUI 10 User Interface!

EMUI 10 will feature a new user interface, with a new dark mode. The new dark mode is designed to optimise colour contrast of the text and icons, against the dark background.

Here are three pictures that compare the current light mode, and the new dark mode in EMUI 10 :

Cross-Device Integration Through Distributed Architecture

EMUI 10 will introduced a new ability to stream HD video calls across multiple devices. This will allow you to make audio or video calls on whatever device you happen to be using at the moment.

You will be able to answer a video call on your smart TV, or vehicle-mounted device. You can also send your friends a real-time video feed from your drone.

It will also work in other ways. For example, your smartphone and computer will be able to share screens, and exchange data easily through drag-and-drop.

This distributed architecture requires the hardware capabilities of each device to be virtualised. This would give devices capabilities beyond its actual hardware features, because it would have access to a “shared resource pool” of connected devices.

Distributed Architecture, Distributed Security System

As part of its distributed architecture, EMUI 10 will have a distributed security system that uses a secure system architecture and operating system kernel as a foundation for security and trust.

Only devices authenticated by the user can be connected to other user devices. And even for connected devices, their communications are encrypted end-to-end, to protect the transmitted data.

EMUI 10 Unified App Development

EMUI 10 will introduced unified app development using its distributed UI programming framework, and virtualised hardware capabilities.

This allows developers to create a single unified app for different types of devices, with different displays and capabilities. There won’t be a need to customise the app for different hardware features.

What EMUI 10 Will Also Introduce

It’s a no brainer that EMUI 10 will come with some new features that have just been introduced in EMUI 9.1 :

a new EROFS file system, which delivers better random read performance and more storage space
a new version of GPU Turbo, which should support even more than the 25 games in EMUI 9.1
an improved version of HUAWEI OneTap Share. Also known as Share OneHope, it pairs your HUAWEI smartphone with your laptop, so you can easily copy and share files
their Ark compiler, which improves performance by converting apps into machine code

You can read more about these features in our EMUI 9.1 guide.

When Will EMUI 10 Arrive?

[adrotate group=”2″]

EMUI 10 is a heavily-customised variant of Android 10, which has not yet been launched.

So it will NOT be coming out anytime soon. It will only be released after Android 10 is officially launched.

Dr. Wang says that the beta version of EMUI 10 will be first tested internally on the HUAWEI P30 smartphones on 8 September 2019 onwards.

He also confirmed that the first smartphone to feature EMUI 10 will be the upcoming HUAWEI Mate 30 smartphones.

Will Older Devices Get Upgraded With EMUI 10?

Based on HUAWEI’s track record in introducing the EMUI 9.1 upgrade, many HUAWEI smartphones from 2018 and certainly all of their 2019 devices should receive the EMUI 10 upgrade.

However, it will take some time for the upgrades to be introduced.
