HUAWEI has introduced the MatePad 11 Papermate Edition, a tablet designed to combine the comfort of an e-reader screen with the power of a modern tablet. This device targets users who want a screen that reduces glare without sacrificing sharpness or color accuracy. The tablet retails at around $460 and comes bundled with a keyboard, stylus, and mouse.
Advanced Papermate Anti-Glare Technology
The MatePad 11 Papermate Edition features a unique Papermate display that minimizes reflected light by up to 97%. Unlike typical screen protectors, this technology is applied at the nano level via chemical processing. It prevents the usual blur and yellow tint often found in aftermarket anti-glare screen guards. This innovation ensures colors remain vivid and the display stays sharp, improving the readability even under bright light.
Certified Eye Care for Long Reading Sessions
This tablet holds four internationally recognized certifications, including SGS Low Visual Fatigue Premium Performance and TÜV Rheinland Triple Certification. The latter covers reflection-free, low blue light, and flicker-free features. These certifications validate that the MatePad 11 Papermate Edition reduces eye strain by as much as 41% and lessens brain fatigue by 20%. The device also has an ebook mode that shifts the screen color to a warmer yellow hue to cut down blue light exposure.
Comprehensive Reading Experience
Users have access to popular reading apps such as Amazon Kindle and Gramedia Digital through Huawei’s App Gallery. Google Play Books is accessible via Quick Web Apps or GBox. The built-in HUAWEI Books app enhances the experience with a built-in translation feature supporting Indonesian, and abilities to underline, add notes, and adjust font size. It supports PDF and ePub formats, offering flexible controls over text size, line spacing, and font style, which suits readers requiring larger or more comfortable text.
Natural Writing Feel with M-Pencil 2
The Papermate screen surface adds subtle texture, simulating the feeling of writing on paper. This feature complements the HUAWEI M-Pencil 2 stylus that has a white tip designed to improve grip and feedback. Unlike typical tablets with slick glass surfaces, this tablet provides a tactile writing experience with realistic pen sounds. HUAWEI Notes supports diverse templates, brushes, pen colors, and widths, enhancing note-taking, journaling, and sketching capabilities.
Robust Productivity Features
Multi-tasking is seamless thanks to the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 chipset paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Users can handle split-screen note-taking, insert images, and annotate PDFs, including adding digital signatures. The tablet supports converting handwriting to typed text and has a handwriting search function. It also benefits from a fingerprint-resistant screen, keeping it clean during prolonged use.
Enhanced Office Functionality and Keyboard Integration
The detachable keyboard offers a comfortable typing experience with well-designed travel distance and strong feedback. It connects magnetically without needing a separate charge and doubles as a protective case. It even includes a magnetic charging slot for the M-Pencil. On the software front, WPS Office supports advanced Excel functions like pivot tables, charts, and VLOOKUP, customizable Word documents, and feature-rich presentations with grid lines and animations. The mouse pointer mimics the laptop experience with right-click contextual menus, making large-screen document handling intuitive.
Camera and Connectivity
Equipped with an 8MP front camera and 13MP rear camera, the tablet covers basic video calls and photography needs. It supports Wi-Fi 6, though it lacks cellular connectivity. The integration within HUAWEI’s ecosystem is enhanced by Super Hub and Super Device features, which streamline file transfer, device collaboration, and cross-device clipboard usage.
Ideal for Outdoor and Long-Term Use
Thanks to its screen technology, the MatePad 11 Papermate Edition excels in outdoor environments where reflections and glare typically impair screen visibility. It maintains clear visuals under direct sunlight. The device’s comprehensive set of features and certified eye protection make it suitable not only for entertainment and study but also extensive work sessions in various lighting conditions.
Overall, the HUAWEI MatePad 11 Papermate Edition offers an innovative blend of anti-glare screen technology, powerful performance, and versatile productivity tools designed for users who demand comfort, efficiency, and durability in their tablet experience.
