Apple fanboy reviews Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2!

50 Comments

1. What role does your tablet play in your life?

2. Tempted because I'm potentially considering a different ecosystem

3. why every youtuber concern about smudges that's way exaggerate skin it and voila !!

4. People who are blind by apple will not listen to you.

5. Never had an iPhone. No problem at all.

6. I am definitely an Apple fanboy but when I saw this tablet in the Philippines I cound not resist. after 1 week I can say that I am loving this tablet and have zero regrets buying it, not to mention I saved over $800 not updating to the larger Ipad. the screen is killer in this and editing word and PPT is easier than I anticipated. the thinness lack of weight of this device surprises everyone. Unless your doing video editeding get the Huawei. Yes it's different but after I learned it I love it.

7. Can it play netflix on 2k? I heard those things beed to be certified to do this

8. I’m so tired of Android imitating Apple. You’d be hard pressed to distinguish it from an iPad sitting next to it. At least Microsoft tried to do something original with their phone OS, which I think has UI elements that improve on iOS.

9. SO….. with all this talk of the EU trying to force all device manufacturers to allow ‘side loading’ or competitor app stores on all devices… does this mean that you would be able to download apps from the Apple app store onto this?
   It looks like a great device and if I wasn’t fully immersed into the Apple ecosystem and dependent on things like handoff, central control and other features that only apple has managed to pull off… I’d probably give something like that a try.

10. Why would anyone want to use crapple and get stuck…not very wise. Huawei smoked the competition until they were cutoff from Google but they have managed to work around that limitation as well.

11. It sounds like the Huawei is superb, but to change you need to go all in with all devices, abandon Apple apps and in many cases substitute with alternatives in the Huawei ecosystem. That is quite daunting, like moving to another country and starting afresh. This pain point is largely due to US sanctions which I find despicable.

12. الافضل بالعالم❤

13. apple a dying company,apple is still alive because of the US govt support,US govt ban all the Apple competitor in the name of national security while making way for the apple,it's just a matter of time apple will be done and Hwawei will rise despite US govt try to kill the company,

14. Huawei is way ahead they also have the electric car 🎉🎉🎉🎉

15. Apple fanboy gushes over an android tablet 😂😂😂😂

16. Hauwei great hardware but unfortunately all your data will be stolen by the CCP so avoid like the plague unfortunately.

17. I loooveee huawei

18. To quote you, lovely review to a lovely tablet ! Subscribed.

19. Hello, can I download the autocad app just to view plans, how do I do it on the iPhone?Thank you

20. Unfortunately, this tab will not be useful if the OS for the Tab series is not developed optimally. and several other supporting factors such as the tablet version of the browser which should be better than the current mobile version of the browser. Of course, this goes back to the software provider and several other applications that still refer to the mobile display are shortcomings which unfortunately do not make tabs like the Huawei Matepad series look more promising for mobility than laptops. If it only prioritizes office functions, it feels like Huawei doesn't see other potential that could be achieved better for this tab. I'm talking like this because I'm a freelancer who is quite enthusiastic about the tablets that Huawei offers. Again, I still can't see the maximum potential of the word "PRO". even though in fact Android tablets would be very multi-functional if they developed the tablet version of the software very well.

21. The moment you mentioned the prices is where I stopped watching, no thanks, not with this price tag.

22. I'd like to see some performance stats. According to Geekbench the only kirin processors they have are 50% of the performance of the iPad I have (which is the 2021 iPad Pro M1 model).

    While this may not matter for many, it does for me as I use LumaFusion on the iPad Pro. And when I'm not on the iPad Pro editing video, I'm getting some stress relief playing games (so performance matters). I'm also loving using the iPad Pro with Guernica to turn my writing prose into AI art. Just for fun. Can I do that on the MatePro? Without it taking ages?

    The apps thing is a big deal. Performance is a big deal.

23. The main defect of this Huawei tablet is the price tag. Well, it is actually my defect😂

24. I think you are quite right, it's all eco system thing. Fantastic opportunity to non-apple fans.

25. Don't trust Huawei. I'm typing this on a matepad 11 2021, and the software situation is abysmal….honestly …it is beyond revolting. the appstore is extremely cheap, has almost nothing actually usable, and compared to 3rd party stores you can find for android, it actually feels worse….the default official store for huawei is worse than 3rd party android stores. Petal search doesn't work all the time, and sideloaded apps are slow compared to native apps…it's just no. Plus, the device came with HarmonyOS OS 2…it didn't get updated to HarmonyOS 3 until after more than a month of China receiving HarmonyOS 4 …let me reiterate, you'll be neglected for more than a year, and your device won't be running the latest OS version.
    the theoretical proposal of HarmonyOS and its ecosystem sounds inviting, and the hardware is honestly very good. However, the software experience irl is so bad, i honestly regret buying this thing…don't touch Huawei unless you want an expensive media player.

26. This tablet is a good Option for those who are looking for a big large tablet yet you can't afford the ipad pro, this is probably the best option

27. Great review. I have to say, iPad is much more expensive with the accesories while Huawei gives them for free, the keyboard, the pen, even the mouse in some countries for writing a review on their consumer website. I am a Huawei user (call me a Huawei fanboy) and for me the screen ratio is crucial, going for te 3:2 is a superb choice from the 12.6 inch MatePad pro which I immediately sold and ordered this 13.2 monster. But, the 3:2 on the iPad is the real 3:2, I have to say it. I read music scores and iPad has the best experience if we talk about the screen ratio. In my country it's more than two times expensive, so Huawei has been my choice for a long time. If I had a big budget, there is a chance that I would've gone for the Apple. You've been fair, I'm being fair. Thanks for your review!

28. Всё по делу

29. I put a pulls stop to Apple in 2016 and my king is Huawei forever

30. It's hard to make the switch because you're already working with Apple's ecosystem. This tablet is the perfect tablet for people with Huawei phone, watch, earbud, TV or even Huawei Speakers, but any android tablet, not just the Huawei tablet, would be unsuitable for someone with an iPhone and Apple Watch

31. To be honest, reviewing the tablet as a standalone Huawei product does not make too much sense. You need to also toss in one of their newer phones and headphones. The way the echo system works together is actually even better than how Apple does it.
    The way you can seamlessly choose how you want to link the devices is great.

32. I have an iPad Pro 10.5 from 2017. It still works like a charm. I have midi keyboard with sound card, Apple Pencil along with beautiful apps such as procreate, Microsoft OneNote, GarageBand and etc. I was thinking about upgrading to M2 iPad Pro 12.9 until I saw this device. It is half price with more hardware features but I’m not sure without those certain apps will it still be useful for my workflow or my productivity. I want an oled screen, I need a case with keyboard and I need a pencil, these are double check. However it seems rather limited compared to usage scenarios with my certain (some paid) apps. What do you think guys? I can buy base model m2 iPad Pro 11 without accessories for the same price in my country.

33. It is a fantastic product, but unfortunately, as an Apple product user, I feel that any current Android tablet is still lacking some compelling disruptive innovations to make it appealing enough to me.

    1. Always-on 1Hz to 120Hz tandem-stack LTPO OLED display, to display some information all the time (time, date, weather,…)

    2. Low power enough to be able to recharge through a 15W Qi2 wireless charger : would be perfect not to have any cable to plug/unplug to recharge the device, and only have to magnetically stick the device to any Qi2 wireless charger

    3. Multi 10’s Gigabits/s wireless docking like 802.11ay (ideally at least USB4 / HDMI 2.1 speeds, so at least real 40Gbits to 50Gbits/s to least up to 5m).

    Then fit all I/O (USB-C, USB-A, HDMI,…) in a thin Qi2 bi-directionnal wireless charger, with a small battery : customers could then stick it at the back of the tablet when they need I/O, or alternatively power-it through a 5W/10W USB-C power adapter if needed…

34. Cool bro

35. If Huawei is not good, the US government would not sanction it!
    Goes to show how good this company is.
    A company that puts a scare on a country. 😂

36. Does it support MS Office? Please respond. Thank you❤

37. Very good. Where can I buy it? It's so beautiful, I don't want to use Apple anymore.

38. Major Spyware!!!!

39. I've read that hamornyOS doesn't use the Android framework, it isn't based on Android, harmonyOS is a completely new system. I mean, the first harmonyOS was based on Android, but the new one does not use anything from Android.
    Huawei tablets are the best tablet I've ever seen so far, the ecosystem is beautiful and amazing, the harmonyOS is stable and fluid, it looks amazing. Unfortunately Huawei devices are expensive, more than apple devices.

40. Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2 has 16Gb of ram, wow

41. They basically copied the iPad.

42. I know that Huawei’s eco system is pretty impressive. However like Apple, the more Huawei products you have in their ecosystem, the better it gets.

43. Wirklich gutes Tablet 👍🏼

44. One important thing most reviewers do not mention is, if you have purchased apps from Google Play Store, you MAY NOT be able to restore those purchases even if Google Play Store is installed on the Huawei tablet.

45. Unfortunately, no word on how the tablet works with an external monitor/screen.

46. A Chyna spy device.

47. As an Apple fan who started using iPad 1, I still use an iphone 14. Since 2019, I have bought a Mate 40 , two Huawei watches , 2 freebuds , a mate book X and even bought a bunch of Huawei smart home devices and a Huawei TV for my house in China. I still like Apple devices ,but i don't want Huawei to die from a despicable political bullying.

48. Its a GalaxyTab S9 clone. Sorry i just don't trust Huawei OS privacy with my data.

49. It will never alternative to ipad or any standard android tabs most of app you using is unavailable to this garbage you end up side loading it to a Chinese government device good luck to your personal info

50. Well side loading it from a Chinese device good luck to your private information
