Our Huawei MatePad Pro 12.6 video review is out - our first encounter with HarmonyOS 2.0

11 June 2021
The new OS is Huawei's attempt at independence from Google, but it sticks quite close to Android for now.

Anonymous, 14 Jun 2021Come on, stop with this crap. I have a 120 Hz display but I... moreMy current phone has a 60Hz screen. Definitely my next phone I will have a higher refresh rate. I use my phones for a long time and it's very wasteful to upgrade just because of a small incremental update like a little faster than this, a little more bigger than this, a little more megapixel, etc. That's why high refresh rate is still not available for all because they are still reserved for premium phones. 90Hz is now starting to be available on mid phones but I don't consider it as high enough refresh rate. It will be my reason for my next upgrade so it's not a gimmick for me like most of us. How can it be a gimmick if it improves the screen and you look and use your screen 99% of the time. HMS is more like a gimmick for the users who already have GMS. Or it is more like omitting feature.

On my S21 Ultra the battery last 20 hours with 2K and 120 turned on. You can stick with your 60hz and let other enjoy the full potential of their phones and what they paid for. Not everyone lives in the stone age like you.

                  NickMani, 12 Jun 2021Another Keybaord Warrior defending Huawei spotted............. moreYet another brain washed keyboard warrior who don't know what harmony os is and how it really works tried to defend Apple and Google, which they also keep copying from each other. Does the widget on ipados look familiar to you, on Android?

                    In video reviews turn on 1 minit the screen reader...

                      Lol, did you hear that that the Entire OS is rebranded Android OS with EMUI Skin? Did you see the iOS icons throughtout the videos/photos?
                      They copied everything and you are giving them Innoavtive Pass? Seamless connection can be done thu so many other apps.. if u wanna bootlick them then do it, but I aint buying over priced trash which isnt HDR10 certified and behind competition + full copcat

How about the functionality of the OS where you can share seamlessly across devices (including IoT) running on huawei/harmony service? Soon you will see your beloved Apple and Samsung copy it, then you will say they are the one who have those functionalities first.

                                  high refresh rate on phones were never gimmicks.
                                  they make the user experience extremely smooth.
                                  never a gimmick, it was always needed on such high-priced flagships.

                                  even the redmi note 10 pro, basically a near-flagship experience screen. it's so smooth.

                                  HRR was never gimmicks, gamers and people who love smoothness on their phones love them, including me.
