Huawei unveils MatePad with superior stylus storage features

Huawei has introduced the MatePad Pro 12.2 PaperMatte, a tablet that addresses a common issue faced by users of other tablets, particularly the Apple iPad Pro, regarding stylus storage. Unlike the iPad, which relies on weak magnets for stylus attachment, the MatePad features a cleverly designed keyboard base with a hidden stylus slot. This innovative design ensures that the stylus is securely stored when the tablet is closed, preventing accidental loss during transport. The MatePad Pro boasts a dual tandem OLED screen with a matte coating that enhances the drawing experience by providing an anti-reflective surface and increased friction for the stylus. This makes sketching feel more natural, akin to drawing on paper. The tablet's keyboard is also noted for its superior design, offering more key travel and utilizing Huawei's proprietary NearLink technology for a stable connection. While the reviewer acknowledges that Apple's iPad Pro has superior silicon performance, they express a preference for the MatePad's overall hardware design and functionality. The tablet is particularly well-suited for users who work in coffee shops or other public spaces, as it can be propped up at an optimal angle for both typing and drawing. Overall, the MatePad Pro 12.2 PaperMatte is positioned as a strong competitor in the tablet market, especially for creative professionals seeking a portable device that combines innovative design with practical features.
