Expert review of Huawei Mate Pad 10.4
Huawei Mate Pad 10.4 is one of the most attractive tablets that has recently entered the market of our country and we want to see for whom this tablet is made?
The new Huawei tablet in our country’s market is the Huawei Mate Pad 10.4, which is one of the economical and relatively cheap products in the tablet market. This tablet looks simple and minimal in appearance, and even in practice, it may have shortcomings in some features. But in the end, it has other attractive features of high-end tablets to become an attractive product in the price range of 6 to 7 million tomans.
These include quad speakers or a 10.4-inch display with 2K resolution, which provide a great visual and audio experience. The processor used in this tablet is Kirin 810, which is an 8-core chipset with very good performance. But instead, in addition to these cases, to reduce the final price of the Huawei Mate Pad 10.4, we see things like the lack of a fingerprint sensor in this product. Or the RAM of this tablet is selected in the base model of 3 GB. Of course, these are not necessarily to be considered weaknesses because this product is specifically designed for a specific category of tasks and users. Continue to check this tablet.
Designing
At 7.4 mm thick and weighing 450 grams, we are dealing with a tablet that is easy to hold for a long time and easy to work with because of its small thickness. In addition, we have to consider the “portability” factor for this tablet. Fortunately, this product even has a very good build quality. The back and frame of the device are metal to give a good feeling and be more durable in the long run.
Also, the black color that we see on the back of the Mate Pad 10.4 has a matte coating, but it is not very resistant to fingerprints and grease, and after working with the tablet for a while, you can see the effect of hand grease on the back. Only the camera and flash in the section have very little protrusion, and also writings such as Huawei and Harman / Kardon can be seen on the back of the tablet.
Huawei Mate Pad 10.4 screen
The Huawei Mate Pad 10.4, like the rest of today’s standard tablets, has a slim bezel display. Even in the slightly similar price range of the regular 10.2-inch iPad, the bezels of the Mate 10.4 are slimmer and more modern. The panel itself is an IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1,200 x 2,000 pixels and holds 224 pixels per inch.
In addition to these features, this panel also supports the Huawei touch pen called M-Pencil, which of course you have to buy separately. Also, when buying, you should be careful to buy a model of M-Pencil that also has a magnetic charger in its package. With these interpretations, I think the Mate Pad 10.4 display is one of its best strengths, and the only drawback I can get to it is that we still have a 60Hz panel. Of course, it should also be noted that this tablet is for last year, and basically since it is one of the most affordable products, it is natural that the high renewal rate for the company’s more expensive tablets is preserved.
Speakers and microphones
Before we move on to hardware, cameras, and more, I decided to talk about the Huawei Mate Pad 10.4 speakers right after the display. Because I think these two parts, along with design and price, are the main reasons you should go for the Huawei Mate Pad 10.4. On both sides of the Huawei Mate Pad 10.4 we see four grooves for the speakers because there are four speakers in this tablet that really have a loud and all-encompassing sound! The sound output from these speakers is great for a tablet of this thickness, and we hear very good sound resolution. As for the volume, whether in low volume or high volume, the sound has its own quality and balance, and at the same time the stereo effect can be experienced.
Camera
So far, we have listed some of the great features of the Huawei Mate Pad 10.4. Here we want to go to the part with which Huawei seems to have tried to reduce the production cost of this tablet. For example, such a tablet does not need to have a great camera, so Huawei has only a regular 8-megapixel camera on the back. Naturally, this camera is not going to take great photos, but instead is going to take texts or documents and somehow scan them. For this purpose, this camera is enough, but for more, no.
The selfie camera has the same 8-megapixel resolution, but Huawei has used a wider, wider lens to make it more useful for video calling. One thing is for sure, we have already said that this tablet does not have a fingerprint sensor; This means that you can use the selfie camera and face recognition to unlock the Mate Pad 10.4, which is not very secure, but it is better than typing the password.
Hardware and software
As I said before, we see the Kirin 810 chipset in this tablet. This 8-core chipset can perform very well for this product, and for comparison, we must say that it is faster than other cheap and expensive Huawei tablets. To better understand the power of this mid-range chipset, I have to say that the Kirin 810 is slightly more powerful than the Snapdragon 730. But at the same time, because it is 7 nanometers, it is more energy efficient.
This chipset may not be enough to run heavy games at their highest quality, but it is definitely good enough for everyday use. For example, running games like Call of Duty Mobile on this tablet at the highest graphics settings, the frame rate leaves about 37 38 frames per second, but by reducing the graphics settings can reach 60 frames per second. Another game we tested was the asphalt game, which ran smoothly on this tablet.
Battery
The battery inside the Mate Pad 10.4 has a capacity of 7250 mAh, which incidentally makes the product charge very well. With heavy use, you may be able to run out of battery in 6 hours or in 7 hours if you keep the screen bright. With more common uses such as watching videos or movies and series or even reading e-books with this tablet , the battery life can be up to ten hours.
