At this point in 2024, it's hard for a tablet to stand out from the crowd. Compared to previous years, there's a glut of options available at all price points and from a host of manufacturers, all trying something a little different to make their mark. Huawei, in particular, realises there needs to be a fine balance between brand name recognition, tech advancement, and attractive price points.
Enter the Huawei MatePad 11.5”S Paper Matte Edition, a device constructed around one major feature – a specially etched screen that promises to reduce eye strain, and closely mimic the analogue drawing experience. It does precisely that, which makes it almost unlike anything else on the market. To make things even better Huawei are offering a launch offer between 4th June and 2nd July 2024.
Paper-like
The standout feature of the MatePad 11.5”S PaperMatte Edition is undoubtedly its screen. The special anti-glare etching technology makes it a joy to use for extended periods, by eliminating a whopping 99% of light interference. Whether you're reading or binge-watching your favourite series, the reduced eye strain is noticeable. The monochromatic display mode further enhances the reader experience, making it a great companion for bookworms.
The HUAWEI MatePad 11.5"S PaperMatte Edition also offers colour mode, where screen brightness, hue, and colour temp, are automatically adjusted when enabled. Whether you are reading a comic book or newspaper, the PaperMatte is wholly sympathetic to the subtle textures and nuances of different types of paper.
In terms of design the HUAWEI MatePad 11.5"S PaperMatte Edition is a near perfect golden ratio of 3:2, meaning proportion and productivity go hand-in-hand. Couple that with a refresh rate of 144 Hz and resolution of 2.8K and you’ve got hand-held perfection for all digital needs, be they work or fun.
Paper Feel
Writing and drawing experience is also covered for the young professional, with the new PaperMatte Edition. The HUAWEI MatePad 11.5"S sets the bar for paper-like creativity. The distinct nanostructured etched surface mimics the resistance of the analogue pencil-on-paper feel, particularly when writing with the 3rd gen HUAWEI M-Pencil. It’s this ‘grounding experience’ that sets the PaperMatte Edition apart for those needing that all important touch of reality when faced with too much screen time, or to help induce that meditative vibe for creativity.
Elevate Your Digital Note Taking Experience
In the realm of software enhancements, HUAWEI Notes introduces some exciting new capabilities. The Note Replay feature offers efficient note taking and retrieval. Imagine being in a meeting, quickly jotting down key points. Later, when you revisit your notes, a simple touch allows you to play back audio from the exact moment those points were discussed. This innovative format enhances your ability to comprehensively review meeting content, making your notetaking more efficient.
For when inspiration strikes unexpectedly, HUAWEI Notes is ready to capture anything at hand with new quick gestures.You can swiftly record your thoughts the moment they hit, whether it's an idea, quote, or a creative spark, HUAWEI Notes ensures you don't miss a beat.
New Text Customization with lasso selection makes organising your work and study notes a lot easier. While note taking, use the lasso tool to select text and change its colour. You can highlight important details, categorise information, and create a visually organised workspace.
GoPaint: Unleash Your Creative Potential
Beyond its role as a professional note taking tool, the HUAWEI MatePad 11.5"S introduces GoPaint - an exciting canvas for artistic expression. GoPaint is the result of collaboration between top fine arts academies and Huawei's 2012 Laboratories R&D teams.
Experts from diverse domains, materials, physical optics, and image rendering—came together to create a digital painting tool that inspires. GoPaint's rendering capabilities are nothing short of professional-grade. Whether you're sketching, blending colours, or adding intricate details, the results are stunning.
GoPaint handles compositing and storage management efficiently. Thanks to the Huawei FangTian Painting Engine, your creative flow remains uninterrupted.
Lighter Load, More Layers. The FangTian painting engine optimises system resources by reducing memory demands, minimising latency, and expanding layer capacity. With GoPaint, technical limitations won't hinder your imagination.
HUAWEI M-Pencil (3rd gen)
Combined with the HUAWEI MatePad 11.5"S, the HUAWEI M-Pencil (3rd gen) offers a complete package for young professionals. This groundbreaking stylus introduces NearLink technology. This innovative feature optimises various aspects of the stylus, including hardware, algorithms, and the pen tip, resulting in a smoother writing and painting experience. Each stylus undergoes calibration before shipment to ensure consistent performance.
One standout feature is the 10,000+ levels of pressure sensing. The NearLink chip inside the stylus boasts a high-precision pressure sampling module, capable of detecting even the slightest force exerted by the user's fingers on the pen. Compared to Bluetooth technology, NearLink is six times more pressure-sensitive, both in terms of collection frequency and sending frequency. As a result, the HUAWEI M-Pencil (3rd gen) becomes the first-ever stylus to support such a vast range of pressure levels, offering quicker responsiveness, precise control over line thickness, and cleaner strokes.
Additionally, Huawei engineers meticulously calibrated the stylus to address discrepancies between actual pressure-sensing output and theoretical values. This calibration, achieved through a high-precision mechanical control algorithm, ensures a professional-level painting and writing experience for users. Furthermore, reliable NearLink connections are guaranteed, with each stylus calibrated to maintain stable connections within a frequency offset of 3 ppm using dynamic load balancing.
