This trend has got me quite itching to buy one myself, and a great starting point could be the newest HUAWEI MatePad 11.5 S (PaperMatte Edition), which boasts a solid price tag just under PHP 24,999. [caption id="attachment_367231" align="alignnone" width="1280"] Only the iPad Air M1 has TouchID biometrics.[/caption] You will also notice that the MatePad is a bit larger and that’s due to having a bigger display which we’ll talk more about next. Display and Multimedia Now, let’s talk about the display. What’s interesting is that the MatePad uses what HUAWEI calls the PaperMatte Display 2.0 technology, and this might be the tablet’s biggest selling point. However, the MatePad's anti-glare coating or PaperMatte tech may slightly reduce vividness compared to the iPad Air. But for the most part, the MatePad’s display is quite superior to that of the Air. It offers a smoother 144Hz refresh rate, a paper-like feel, and most importantly, it is not as reflective — which I would actually prefer on a display this big. Its larger, smoother 144Hz display with the PaperMatte technology is a big win for artists and note-takers alike.
