Design and build

Starting with the design the Huawei MatePad T 10s looks a lot like the Matepad T8. It comes in the same colors too are Gold and Deepsea Blue. The tablet looks sleek and professional, and it feels hold for a tablet. This one has got a metal body with a matte finish on it. And if you look a little closer, you’ll notice that the vertically aligned thin bar near the rear camera is made out of polycarbonate material.

Other than that, you can find some Huawei and Harmon Kardon branding here. Located on the right are its power and volume buttons, as well as microphones. There’s nothing on the left. But on top, you’ll find a loudspeaker. Moving over to the bottom part there is another loudspeaker together with its USB type C port, headphone port, and a dual SIM tray for one Nano SIM card and a microSD card that’s expandable up to 512GB. In landscape mode, you can spot the 2-megapixel front camera together with the LED notification and some sensors at the top bezel. Overall, the MatePad T 10s has a straightforward design.

Full HD Display

Focusing on the Huawei MatePad T 10s display now. Upfront is a decent 10.1 inches IPS screen with a resolution of 1920 by 1200 pixels and a pixel density of 224 pixels per inch. The quality is good enough for watching videos, browsing the web, scrolling through social media, as well as reading eBooks. You can take advantage of the ebook mode that filters the blue light to reduce eye strain. The brightness levels indoors are good, but you really have to toggle to max brightness if you’re going to use it under direct sunlight.

Performance

When it comes to storage, we have 64GB with 46 gigabytes of usable space. If you need extra space to store your video of photos and music, there’s a dedicated microSD card slot for up to 512 gigabytes. Preinstalled apps are kept to a minimum and you can always uninstall them if you’re not planning on using them. As for internals, the Huawei MatePad T 10s has a Kirin 710A (14 nm) chipset paired with a Mali-G51 MP4 GPU and 3GB RAM. Performance is deliverable! You get a smooth experience as long as you don’t keep too many apps running in the background.

HMS platform

Moving on to software, the Huawei MatePad T 10s runs on Android 10 skinned with Huawei’s EMUI 10.1. And as expected it doesn’t have Google mobile services. Instead, it relies on HMS, Huawei Mobile Services with their own app marketplace called App Gallery which has grown its catalog at a rapid pace. It already has most of the popular apps. If the app is not available, you can go to a reliable third-party app store like APK Pure or APK mirror and download from there. But if you use a lot of Google apps, it can be extra challenging to sideload specific apps, such as YouTube and Gmail.

Otherwise, you can always use the browser for it and create shortcuts to your home screen. Back to it, since you have a big screen, you can also take advantage of the multi-window feature for better multitasking. There’s also the Huawei app multiplier to allow the spontaneous operation of the same app. Other notable features are tablet clown, kids’ corner, and there’s also an FM Radio available.

Cameras

What you are getting here is a 5 megapixel at the back and a 2 MP upfront. Of course, don’t expect too much from these lenses as tablets today are really built for photography. Nevertheless, the quality of the Huawei MatePad T 10s isn’t that bad. The rear camera produces decent sharpness with not-so-vibrant colors. The same can be said with the front camera. But it’s good enough for video calls. It also comes with a beauty mode in case you really want to take selfies for social media. And as for video quality, the front camera has a 720 P resolution. While the rear shooter allows you to shoot up to 1080P. Generally, its cameras should suffice for your zoom calls or quick snapshots.

Quality sound

Huawei MatePad T 10s will make you happy if you are into watching movies and playing games. This is because of its stereo speakers which have been Tuned by Harman Kardon. That is right. Tuned by Harman Kardon! The sound produced on this one is above average. Considering its price one wouldn’t really ask for more. It’s loud, clear noticeably, rich and fuller compared to smartphones.

More features

Quickly on security on Huawei MatePad T 10s, you can unlock the device with a pin pattern or password. Yep. There’s no face unlock or fingerprint scanner here. As for connectivity, the MatePad T 10s has the basic phone feature such as LTE connectivity, WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0, and OTG battery-wise t packs a Li-Po 5100 mAh, non-removable battery with 10 Watts charging. If you’ll be using this tablet casually, with limited use, then it can last you a whole day.

Our take

As more people work and study at home, tablets are slowly getting more attention than they used to just a year ago, 2019. They’re obviously bigger than a phone yet more affordable than laptops. So it’s definitely something to consider, especially when you’re on a tight budget. And Huawei MatePad T 10s is a budget-friendly tablet. Visit this product’s official website to learn more.
