All you need to know about Huawei's new MatePad T 10s

Chinese tech giant, Huawei has announced the local introduction of new MatePad T 10s 64GB, a stylish tablet that will come with a flip folio cover in an attempt to go toe-to-toe with the budget offerings from Samsung. It’s the company’s biggest attempt yet to establish a midrange tablet range, having made entry-level tablets for a while. Years, in fact.

As it did with its smartphones, though, the company has decided it’s time to elevate its tablet efforts — at a time when everything is either an iPad or a Windows 10 2-in-1. And you know what? Hardware-wise, Huawei may have completely nailed it.

Does the name sound familiar, right? That’s probably because Huawei unveiled its MatePad range way back the end of 2019.

For now, let’s get back to cooing over the hardware. The MatePad T10s 64GB is a 10.1-inch tablet that weighs 450 grams, like the similarly sized iPad Pro. It’s got a gorgeous metal frame with curved corners, and while we only see the more standard colours, Deepsea blue, it is a stylish tablet.

The MatePad’s cellular and WiFi antennae are molded directly to the tablet frame, meaning no visible antenna lines. There’s also an 2-megapixel hole-punch camera on the front (for conference calls more than selfies, I hope), which mirrors, location-wise, the rear-facing 5-megapixel camera.

The screen itself is vivid and bright, with a 1920 x 1200 resolution — high enough to split up tasks and apps on screen without making things tiny or blurry.

There’s a 5,100 mAh battery inside the tablet.

The MatePad T10s 64GB will start at R4 499. The tablet comes with a free flip cover valued at R699.
