Despite the release of the Mobile World Congress, some manufacturers continue to celebrate their launch in Barcelona so as not to lose medals. That has always been the case Huawei, presented by other devices A very efficient tablet called the MatePad Pro.
Both for its features and its price, it is clear that Huawei wants it face-to-face competition with the Apple iPad Pro. Circumstances cause the company to have some issues with doing so, or for Android users this request is valid. Let's put Apple and Huawei tablets face to face and see how they are different.
This is the iPad Pro compared to the Huawei MatePad Pro
Since the MatePad Pro only has a screen size of 10.8 inches, we'll do a comparison with the 11-inch iPad Pro model. There is a comparison table with all the details:

The difference between the aspect ratios (16:10 and 16: 9) makes the size of the MatePad Pro a bit different. However, in terms of weight and overall appearance, they are the two tablets are very similar to each other without any colors: The MatePad is for sale in darker and darker orange colors while the iPad Pro is for sale in silver and gray colors. Special meaning to that vegan skin of MatePad, which gives the MatePad a good look and looks to withstand bumps and cracks.
Another point where the MatePad Pro is drawing attention to its battery: it has less mAh than the 11-inch iPad Pro, but instead it charges faster and wireless charging. And while the iPad Pro is capable of charging the iPhone with USB-C, In the case of MatePad Pro we get wireless charging. Note also the connection: MatePad Pro comes with Bluetooth 5.1 and there is an example ready for 5G networks. Apple has not yet come to this but there are rumors that it will do it in a few months.
That is: we can place the smartphone on the back of the MatePad Pro and use the tablet as a base for charging imports. OK, we won't use the MatePad Pro while charging the device this way, but in some cases it can be easy. In both cases we talk about ports and USB-C cables with the option of charging the cable.
Where does the MatePad Pro crash? Well, in the operating system
Apple Pro also wins in storage, able to save up to 1 TB of data against the 512 MB of MatePad Pro space. In the case of MatePad we have space to expand using memory cards, but we can use external hard drives for the iPad to solve space issues. We need to be able to properly analyze the Huawei tablet to compare performance, even though Xataka partners have already commented on their initial impression that this working time when working with their Bluetooth pen is too high.
One thing is inspiration, and the other is explicit expression.
Where I will be the most critical here how Huawei has tracked many miles of operations and behavior of the iPad Pro Apple We are used to seeing how other manufacturers are following, in some way, the rise that leaves Apple in some of its disparate products (Galaxy Buds or Amazfit GTS are great examples). Sometimes it happens on the o ther hand, with HomePod trying to compete with the Amazon Echo boom. But the MatePad Pro case touches on the scandal.
The competitor's tablet may look like a Pro Pro, it wouldn't be the first time it happened. But Huawei copied the precise details such as the blue pen charged on one side. Even the system's charging interface is the same as that of iPadOS, as you can see in the picture above. And let's not talk about the multitasking connection and the keyboard case, with it it's literally called the & # 39; Smart Keyboard & # 39;:

I emphasize: more tablets like the iPad. And it's a good sign, because it shows that Apple has been successful in a sense and the competition is back to trying to take over the monarchy. However, when the tablet and the connector are perfectly balanced, the story moves from simple inspiration to is totally worth the carpentry. I wouldn't be surprised to see how Apple takes Huawei to court over this.
Differences in platforms will be a key issue for users to select MatePad Pro or iPad Pro. The hardware is very similar, so it will look hopeless if you choose to install the Apple ecosystem with iPadOS or on the other hand select Android.
However, depending on the hardware and the look, both tablets can be confused with one another if you see them together. In both cases it is a high performance tablet, with the idea of reducing its multimedia capabilities to the top or making it a success of our old laptop. I do not believe that in both cases the iPad Pro or the MatePad Pro fail in that regard.
