For a decade we have been carrying, in technology, for the understanding that a tablet should behave like a small laptop or as a smartphone with greater capabilities. But The reality is very different and shows that we are losing the north.
In the same way that we should not compare an Réflex camera with the photographic qualities of a mobile and we know how to perfectly distinguish the differences, it is being Time we distinguish with precision that a tablet belongs to a completely different segment than a laptop and not compare it.
That said, we go with Matepad 11.5 (version 2025) of Huawei. Yes, it weighs double that a high caliber smartphone, but also has twice as a screen (11.5 -inch LCD TFT) and twice the battery: 10,100 mAh. Your Papermatte screen, designed by Nanographic and Magnetronic Optical Nanographic Technologies, allows modifying the nanometric scale surface to significantly reduce reflexeswhich guarantees a clear visualization even under direct sunlight or in environments with intense lighting.
When we buy a tablet there are parameters that are unnegociable. The camera matters to us as long as it allows us to make video calls, but little else. We are looking for a reduced weight, a versatile case (with keyboard), touch screen, the possibility of using optical pencil in creative tasks, Very good battery, power to solve the minute by minute (for the day to day we have laptops) and an absolute silence that distance from the fan fan.
The experience must be fluid: light and work. Without delays or “programmatic nuclei” that hang in the middle of a task. Applications must be the minimums not to occupy memory or cause distractions: only those necessary. The Matepad 11.5 tablet is equipped with the WPS Office version at PC level, capable of effortlessly handling extensive documents, complex spreadsheets and presentations.
The removable keyboard adds a plus of versatility, allowing the tablet to be transformed into a light and functional work station, which we basically seek. Functions such as Floating Multiventana and Superdispositive technology facilitates multitasking and allows to alternate between applications quickly.
The Notes application, by Huawei, has also been renewed with new functions such as the improved recognition of Writing with AI, a selection of stylized brushes and a complete resource center with tools that carry the taking of digital notes to a new level.
The 10,100 mAh battery allows Up to 14 hours of video playback with a single load, it is compatible with the Huawei Supercharge technology of 40 W and requires just over an hour for a complete load.
The whole system works to increase this capacity, from An improved cooling system, 25 % more effective than that of its predecessorto the operating system that works together with the processor (a new generation Kirin) to give more life and cargo cycles.
And now the important thing, What about Google? Five minutes. That is the answer. Both through the Huawei and Aurora Store app, you can download the same applications that any Android system has. So simple, without turns or blockages. I’ve been using Huawei and other Android for five years and I have never had problems.
In short, we have a tablet with proven work benefits, light, powerful, for 349 euros (€ 299 If we add the discount with the discount coupon A50MP2025) in the purchase. Matepad 11.5 is a portable office with its best signs: Portability, power and battery. We will submit it to a more exhaustive test, but for this price, we do not have a close option.
