Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2 review

Wait a minute. This is very similar to Samsung?

    looks great like mac design learn to make your own design huawei

      This tablet has the most balanced frequency response I've seen yet on this website. Samsung's doing jacksh*t after buying Harman, too much distortion/compression and a shouty frequency response with lackluster mids and harsh upper mids on their top end S9 Ultra. Apple suffers from the same as well. Funny how Huawei with no formal ownership of a "huge" audio brand makes such a nice speaker system. Only Xiaomi and Asus seem to be able to nail audio on phones, Xiaomi's Ultras (12S and 13) imo are benchmarks for "flagship" phone audio and Asus's ROG phones are benchmarks for phone audio in general, good frequency response and not much compression, resulting in natural rendition of the audio

        What a shame. Why people are saying this a notch when the interface are direct copy to the mac design🤭

          not really good with the kirin 9000s. basically only reaches snapdragon 888+ performance.

            make a Honor Tab with the same spec.
            then compare again to Samsung Tab S6/S7/S8/S9
            including DeX comparison, Telephony comparison, Camera Comparison,

              Biggest problem...

              2. everytime connect external display... studpid harmony everything ask to "Agree" to project.. Who fxxk idea is this?

                Kirin chipsets are back! Everybody rejoice!

                  The design is cool, thin bezel and all. The notch, not great but a necessary evil I suppose.

                  I was surprised the chipset performs so well. 950/4000 in geekbench is pretty impressive considering it stays cool and doesn't throttle. If they launched it like Exynos/Snapdragon8/Dimensity9 it would have had a higher benchmark but throttle to 50%.

                    Actually, having no gms is a pro for a tablet of this size, as it reduces battery life drastically. GMS is only useful on phones

                      Dex like mode? As far as i concern, my mate 20 have desktop mode same as my s22 got dex. Weird if this tablet doesn't have.

                                  Yay and hurray for Huawei, their making a good strong come back I hope they catch up soon to the competition it's really boring when you walk into a store and the only phones people want to buy are an Apple iPhone or a Galaxy

                                    Anonymous, 12 Dec 2023Notch is enough to take 2 pts away. I would dare say, a notch on a tablet is a death sentence. As dumb as those notches on Macbooks

                                      Finally now Let the competition begins

                                        Why would you ever buy this instead of a S9 Ultra or an iPad, though? The SoC are miles ahead on those and you get the 'normal' app stores + more peace of mind when it comes to software updates (and I would say customer support, in general)
