The Philippines just got a new tablet from HUAWEI, and it’s hard not to like it. It’s the new HUAWEI MatePad T 8 LTE, a portable tablet with good specs, a nice look, and a price that’s hard to beat.
Many tablets have big screens, so it’s hard to find a portable one that can do the same things. This is precisely why HUAWEI made the MatePad T 8 LTE. It’s a mid-range Android tablet with 3+32GB of RAM and ROM, which is enough for day-to-day tasks.
It also has an 8-inch screen, which is about the same size as an A5 sheet of paper. It only weighs 310g and fits easily into any bag. It also has a screen-to-body ratio of 80% and bezels that are very thin to make the viewing experience feel more immersive.
It looks good enough to show off in a coffee shop, school, or office. It has a Deepsea Blue colorway and a sandblasted metal finish that give it a high-end look. It also has a design that makes it easy to hold, with four curved edges that flow into each other.
