The Huawei Matepad 11.5, priced at 6.36 million VND in Vietnam, enters a competitive market segment, facing rivals like the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+, Oppo Pad Neo Wifi, Honor Pad X9a, and Xiaomi Redmi Pad 2.
This tablet is positioned as a practical option for students and users requiring a device for basic office tasks and entertainment.It aims to provide a well-rounded user experience, excelling in areas such as its display, performance, and battery life. The inclusion of a built-in keyboard, stylus, and wireless mouse enhances its productivity capabilities.
However, the Matepad 11.5 is not recommended for users who prioritize demanding gaming experiences. Furthermore, its lack of a SIM card slot means it does not support cellular connectivity, limiting its use to Wi-Fi environments.
The device features a keyboard with full functionality, including ESSU and FN keys, mirroring the layout of Windows computers, which aids in ease of handling and operation. A notable omission is the absence of a touchpad. Additionally, the relatively small size of individual keys may require an adjustment period for users to achieve optimal typing accuracy.
A notable advantage of the Matepad 11.5 is its integrated, licensed WPS PC Office suite. This software provides a full feature set and an interface comparable to desktop office applications, facilitating a quicker learning curve and more efficient work for users.
The tablet also comes equipped with an M-Pen Lite stylus and a Bluetooth wireless mouse. When paired with the Huawei Notes application,these accessories form a thorough toolkit for studying,working,and note-taking.
In terms of imaging, the main camera boasts a 13-megapixel resolution, while the front camera offers 8 megapixels. The image quality from this camera system is considered average, deemed sufficient for video calls and meetings. The device also incorporates a “followcam” function that adjusts audio based on the user’s seating position, helping to maintain focus during video calls, which is particularly beneficial for online classes or meetings.
The Huawei Matepad 11.5 is exclusively available in a Wi-Fi-only configuration, lacking a SIM card slot. This could be a disadvantage for individuals who frequently operate outside of Wi-Fi coverage areas.
