Huawei is having a blast these past few days as they have officially launched their very own HarmonOS. Now, the company has also revealed its brand-new MatePad Pro 12.6, which can be a contender with Apple’s iPad Pro line and Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S-series. There is also the smaller version which is the Pro 10.8-inches and the MatePad 11 that will fit perfectly for students as it is the most affordable among the bunch.
The Huawei MatePad Pro 12.6 and 10.8 feature Huawei’s HarmonyOS in the box. This will give you a desktop vibe as you open it up. One awesome feature Huawei placed is the enhanced mouse support all through its OS while live apps preview is available, adding to the desktop-like experience. Multi-tasking is also one highlight as the Multi-screen Collaboration is featured in these tablets. This allows the user to drag and drop files on the MatePad, while your Huawei phone can be mirrored in the tablet as you can answer phone calls and type your messages.
The Mirror feature also takes it to the next level as you can link up the tablet to compatible Windows-powered Huawei laptops. This allows you to use the tablet as a standalone drawing device for Photoshop and even acts as a secondary monitor, ensuring a high level of productivity.
