"It's finally here!"
When the Huawei MatePad Pro 12.6-inch was released, I believe many of my friends will have the above feelings. I have to say: The birth of this Huawei flagship tablet, also known as "Touch Butt 2", has encountered too many twists and turns. The three delays from September last year, March this year, and June this year have also broken the hearts of many fans of Huawei's tablet.
Fortunately, Huawei MatePad Pro 12.6-inch lives up to expectations: HarmonyOS 2, Kirin 9000 top processor, 12.6-inch high-quality screen, high-amplitude eight speakers, better second-generation M-Pencil stylus and a variety of systems Adapting to , this tablet has the capital to be re-appointed.
Of course, if Huawei MatePad Pro 2019 is the flagship tablet of Android that year, then Huawei MatePad Pro 12.6-inch is this year's flagship tablet equipped with HarmonyOS. Here comes the question: with the blessing of HarmonyOS, what gains does the Huawei MatePad Pro 12.6-inch have? In this review, "Listen to the Phone" will focus on the unique experience of the new Huawei MatePad Pro with you.
HarmonyOS 2 is officially here: a new interactive experience for flagship tablets As one of the main representatives of screen devices, what are the differences between the tablets that are adapted to HarmonyOS? Next, let's take a closer look at the Huawei MatePad Pro 12.6-inch.
On the main interface, the UI icon design of Huawei MatePad Pro 12.6-inch has undergone major changes. First of all, the bottom application bar is divided into the permanent bar on the left (up to 8) and the recently used bar on the right, which is convenient for users to quickly find. Compared with the original fixed icon, it is more efficient to find high-frequency apps.

Thanks to this 12.6-inch OLED large screen, the new Huawei MatePad Pro icon display has more space. Just swipe up on the APP, you can generate a universal card to display more information - here is a point: the size of the generated universal card is optional, and it can be adaptively switched and synchronized between multiple devices, which is quite efficient. In this way, you can customize your own desktop according to your own preferences, and make full use of the large size space of the tablet.
In addition, Huawei MatePad Pro 12.6-inch notification page and control center are also separated: pull down the upper left corner to call up the notification page, and pull down the upper right corner to call up the control center. It can also be seen from the above picture: In addition to the original Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and other conventional switch buttons, the control center also adds a series of modules such as audio broadcast control center, hyperterminal , etc.
Here, I want to focus on the linkage effect of the Huawei MatePad Pro 12.6-inch control center. For example: after connecting the tablet, watch and speaker , you can use the watch to control the tablet and use the speaker to play music. During this process, the watch acts as the control, the tablet acts as the content output, and the speaker acts as the audio output. The concept of HarmonyOS distributed has finally landed in this generation of product . And such a distributed capability will provide more opportunities to use scenes and for tablets such as Huawei MatePad Pro 12.6-inch - I will continue to talk about this point, but I will not list it here.

In addition, the well-received parallel horizon and multi-screen synergy also continue on the Huawei MatePad Pro 12.6-inch.Among them, the multi-screen collaboration function is smoother, and the control of the mobile phone is not as stuck as before; the parallel horizon can change the proportion at will, and there are more suitable applications. Since it is an old function, I won't go into details here. Interested friends, you can check the Huawei tablet evaluation that "Let's listen to the phone".
It is not difficult to see that the 12.6-inch Huawei MatePad Pro under the blessing of HarmonyOS can integrate into the new Huawei smart life scene in a more open manner, and has a stronger ability to couple with of other devices. For the product itself, the fluency and ease of use of HarmonyOS has also greatly benefited the Huawei MatePad Pro 12.6-inch. Personally, I think that the importance of HarmonyOS has far surpassed the influence of the Kirin 9000 processor on the 12.6-inch Huawei MatePad Pro.
Kirin 9000 + stylus + long battery life, solid hardware guarantees HarmonyOS experience
Of course, the smooth operation of HarmonyOS and the comfortable experience of Huawei MatePad Pro 12.6-inch are also inseparable from the strong guarantee of basic hardware. Let's also take a quick look at the hardware of Huawei MatePad Pro 12.6 inches:
is a large 12.6-inch OLED screen on the front, 16:10 ratio, 90% screen ratio ; considering the use distance of the large tablet, Huawei MatePad The actual visual fineness of the Pro 12.6-inch is still acceptable.
It is worth mentioning that Huawei MatePad Pro 12.6-inch optimizes this screen with great care: DCI-P3 color gamut in standard mode reaches 100%, 1000000:1 ultra-high contrast ratio, higher energy efficiency, super-resolution algorithm and multiple protection Eyes, everything is available on this screen. Whether you use the tablet for entertainment or work, the experience is quite good. Especially with eight speakers with high and low frequency division/large amplitude/Harman Kardon tuning, the audio-visual effect is even better.
(global writing GIF animation)
flagship tablet, has shifted from audio-visual entertainment to light office/professional fields. To this end, the Huawei MatePad Pro 12.6-inch is equipped with the second-generation Huawei M-Pencil stylus and a magnetic keyboard. Here I want to focus on the second-generation Huawei M-Pencil stylus. The transparent frosted nib design is comfortable for writing/extremely low latency. Although it is not as soft as the Samsung stylus, it brings a milder touch and is quite good. The hand feel is good, and there is no tearing feeling of the nib contacting the glass. It must be praised. At the same time, the second-generation Huawei M-Pencil stylus also supports the global writing function, which can be used when the screen is off and wherever input is required.
Regarding the magnetic keyboard, Huawei MatePad Pro 12.6-inch still retains the switch button of "multi-screen collaboration" in the Shift key in the lower right corner. As mentioned above: Thanks to the strong computing power of Kirin 9000 and HarmonyOS, Huawei MatePad Pro 12.6-inch multi-screen collaboration is more fluid.
Here is an extra point: if your mobile phone and tablet are logged into the same Huawei account and are on the same Wi-Fi, the HyperTerminal of the Huawei MatePad Pro 12.6-inch control center can also collaborate with one button without touching, which is more convenient.
In terms of battery life, the Huawei MatePad Pro 12.6-inch has a built-in 10500mAh large battery. The official data is 14 hours of continuous video playback, which can be used without pressure throughout the day. In addition, Huawei MatePad Pro 12.6-inch supports 40W wired fast charging, 27W wireless charging and 10W reverse charging, and the charging specifications are still very comprehensive.
Summary: The new Huawei MatePad Pro may open up a new track in the tablet category.The screen display larger than the smartphone, and the carrying weight smaller than the productivity PC, how can the intermediate state take into account the advantages of both? It is indeed a challenge to the manufacturer's ability to supply water. In the iteration of Huawei's multi-generation tablet, the first-generation Huawei MatePad Pro learned the basic quality of audio-visual entertainment, and at the same time borrowed the parallel horizon to solve the incompatibility of Android system for tablet products. At the same time, with the addition of a key-pen set that has been polished for a long time, and the multi-screen collaboration supported by the strong performance of Kirin's flagship chip, the first-generation Huawei MatePad Pro has certain light office attributes. Such an experience is very precious in the Android tablet market in 2019, and it is not surprising that it became a hit.
In my opinion, tablets are still a niche product that exists between mobile phones and PCs. Even though the first-generation MPP is powerful, there are still two embarrassing problems of "poor Android platform experience" and "limitation of usage scenarios". The new Huawei MatePad Pro is aimed at these two problems and has made a breakthrough change - the introduction of HarmonyOS.
HarmonyOS, regardless of the universal card or the parallel horizon, makes a good use of the convenience of reading on the large screen, so that the tablet is no longer a magnified version of the mobile phone, and has a unique user experience-this ensures the existence of the tablet category. The multi-screen collaboration and the distributed capabilities of the super terminal can organically integrate the Huawei MatePad Pro 12.6-inch into the production and creation process.
For example: designer often needs to use hand-painted board , and the distributed capability of HarmonyOS can use Huawei MatePad Pro 12.6 inches as a PC peripheral, doesn’t it increase the usage scenarios? There are still many such scenarios, such as going out for a meeting, using tablet shorthand directly, returning to office and editing it seamlessly; making a video to generate a demo, and the PC is directly synchronized to the Huawei tablet for the boss's review... When Huawei MatePad Pro 12.6 inches becomes a productive tool In the first link, are you still afraid of the limited use of the scene?
That's why: HarmonyOS is more important than flagship chips for tablets. So, can the 12.6-inch Huawei MatePad Pro under the blessing of HarmonyOS + Kirin combination be a god again? Might as well give it to you in front of the screen to evaluate.
