4 ways you can expand your stay-home possibilities with the Huawei MatePad tablet

Make working, learning and playing from home inspiring again 

The “new norm” has, over time, now just become the norm. We’ve bought new furniture. We’ve rearranged rooms. We’ve gotten to know our housemates that little bit more. The restrictions may come and go, but thankfully, folks are now better equipped at spending quality time indoors. All the better if we’ve got the right devices to help us along.

The latest Huawei MatePad seems primed to resolve those stay-home blues. With its snazzy combination of premium hardware and smart algorithms, this multi-tasker may end up inspiring you to do a whole lot more beyond work and play. Here are four ways to start.

1. Binge watch, without guilt.

There’s no need to fight over screen time when you’ve got your own portable entertainment device. Whether you’re enjoying your meal at the dining table or spending that day off binge-watching in bed, the Huawei MatePad is your window to entertainment, your way.

Call up all your favourite apps like Netflix, Disney+, HBO Go and more using AppGallery and Petal Search, and enjoy the result of that last cliffhanger scene on the crystal clear 2K HD FullView 10.4-inch display with ultra-narrow bezels. With the tablet’s support for a 100 per cent sRGB colour gamut, colour accuracy is enhanced with incredible levels of detail, set in a native resolution of 2,000x1,200 and pixel density of 225ppi.

There’s no stopping the drama onscreen, as the newest 7nm Kirin 820 processor delivers blazing fast speeds of up to 2.36GHz. With additional support from the integrated Mali-G57 GPU and NPU systems, even gamers will be rewarded by the buttery smooth graphics during play.

The Huawei MatePad comes upgraded with ROM of 128GB, and allows for portable microSD expansions, bringing it up to 512GB in storage. What this means is you can have every episode or game stored at your beck and call.

2. Pick up that pursuit you’ve always talked about.

Turn talk into action. The Huawei MatePad is your newest instructor … in pretty much any skill. Just download your lessons from an app or watch them online on YouTube, and follow the demonstrations onscreen – who has time to read tiny text on a screen, right?

Prop up your Huawei MatePad and you’re ready to start that new hobby. MasterChef dreams? Go wild with local spices in the kitchen. An aspiring artist? With the addition of the M-Pencil accessory (sold separately), you can sketch out a new universe and train your illustration skills at any corner of the house. Meaning to pick up Hatha yoga? Now you can, with your choice of trainer to boot.

Even if you’re watching from a distance, the Huawei MatePad lets you hear every bit of the instructions with the immersive audio setup, courtesy of the rich quad-speaker sound system by Harman Kardon.

And don’t worry about bringing the tablet around unplugged. The long-lasting 7,250mAh battery with fast-charging capabilities grants up to 12 hours of use at one go, so it’s likely you’ll have to worry more about watching those bubbling pots.

3. Set up your new nook for all kinds of work.

If you’re sharing space or have little room for a real workspace, the tablet serves as a versatile and portable work device – because not everyone can have a full-sized desk setup.

The 460g Huawei MatePad sports a minimalist micro-arc design in its mid-frame for both a streamlined look and ergonomic hold.

You can download your work tools and apps from a wide selection in AppGallery or Petal Search and call out your documents to share and annotate. The EMUI 10.1 OS is built to multitask, especially with the Huawei Multi-Window function to toggle among apps. Need to copy or compare different content in an app? The App Multiplier lets you do just that by opening the same app in two windows. And with Multi-Screen collaboration, your Huawei universe extends to your phone, for seamless transfers and use.

Aware of possible extended screen times, Huawei has eye protection and your well-being covered. Do your work comfortably in Eye Comfort Mode or with the TÜV Rheinland blue light filter on, while eBook mode mimics e-ink that adapts to the environment.

4. Catch up with an old friend or up your social game with the perfect backdrop.

If we dare say, sometimes we hate video calls for the terrible lighting or hideous background we are forced to have. The Huawei MatePad can’t paint your wall but it can certainly make it better with tech – whether you’re just reconnecting with pals over MeeTime or live-streaming your content for your fans.

Ensure crisp visuals with super resolution technology, as MeeTime boosts picture resolution and detail even when connection quality drops. That though is unlikely given the smooth speeds granted by the blazing Wi-Fi 6, and MeeTime also uses artificial intelligence to optimise the signal source and channel for lag-free chats.

Don’t worry if your lighting’s dodgy – Brightness Enhancement Technology automatically detects brightness level and adjusts the light-sensing capability of the front camera so you’ll always look, well, lit. 

For the snazzy content creator, capture more of your aesthetics using the 8MP wide-angle camera with the market’s widest field of view at 170 degrees. The FollowCam feature is a nifty tool (even for video conferences) where the algorithm identifies you as its focus and makes adjustments, almost as if someone is behind the camera. Let it follow you as you show off dance moves, or pan to your presentation with just a smart gesture. Making an impact with your next connection comes easy with the Huawei MatePad.
