HUAWEI MatePad 11.5 S PaperMatte Edition now up for pre-orders in PH

The HUAWEI MatePad 11.5 S PaperMatte Edition, the company’s upcoming tablet, is now up for pre-orders online.

Its key highlight is a 11.5-inch 2.8K IPS LCD panel with a paper-like matte finish and runs at a smooth 144Hz refresh rate.

The display, utilizing Huawei’s PaperMatte Display 2.0 technology, is designed to replicate the feel of a real paper. This also significantly reduces reflected light up to 60% with multiple coatings and nanoscale anti-glare etching tech.
