The Huawei MatePad 10.4 (2022) WiFi (4GB + 128GB) is a sleek, budget-friendly tablet featuring a 10.4-inch 2K FullView IPS display with a 2000 x 1200 resolution and a 60Hz refresh rate. It is powered by the Kirin 710A octa-core processor and includes a large 7,250mAh battery that supports 22.5W fast charging, alongside a quad-speaker system tuned by Harman Kardon for immersive audio. Main pros include its durable aluminium chassis, excellent battery life capable of over 8 hours of gaming, and a dedicated eBook mode for comfortable reading. However, significant cons include the lack of Google Mobile Services, necessitating the use of Huawei’s AppGallery, and relatively modest performance from its 14nm chipset which may struggle with high-end gaming.
