Huawei MatePad 10.4 has been officially announced in China with M-Pencil support. The new tablet is a cheaper and less-powerful version of the MatePad Pro. The MatePad has a 10.4-inch 2000 x 2100 2K IPS display with moderately sized bezels of equal dimensions surrounding it. It has an aluminum frame and an aluminum backplate and is available in white and blue colors. There is a Kirin 810 processor inside paired with 4GB or 6GB of RAM and 64GB or 128GB of storage. The Huawei MatePad has an 8MP selfie camera and an 8MP rear camera with autofocus and an LED flash. The camera app comes with lots of features including HDR and support for time-lapse photography.
There is a 7250mAh battery under the hood with support for 18W wired fast charging. The tablet comes in Wi-Fi (BAH3-W09) and LTE (BAH3-AL00) variants. It also has support for Huawei’s M-Pencil active stylus but doesn’t ship with one. It runs EMUI 10.1 based on Android 10 out of the box. Another feature is the display which has a TUV Rheinland certification. The tablet can automatically adjust brightness and contrast and also has a switch to activate a monochrome mode. With the M-Pencil, users can take notes just as they would with a regular pen and notebook. The MatePad starts at ¥1899 ($269) for the Wi-Fi-only base model with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage.
