Huawei MatePad Paper Reviews & Tests

Hands on: Huawei MatePad Paper hands-on review

Scratchy scratchy – it feels just like pen and paper

Sketching and writing on it feels like paper ; Thin, elegant design ; Ships with stylus and folio cover

No Google Play Store access ; Pricier (though more feature-rich) than Kindles ; Too big to replace a E Reader, too monochrome to repace a tablet

The MatePad Paper is a compelling vision of the future of e-ink devices, but this first iteration won’t convince many people to ditch their colour tablet or eReader.

Huawei MatePad Paper review: Nice hardware, half-baked software

A nicely designed piece of hardware coupled with poorly implemented software – the MatePad Paper is one to avoid

M-Pencil is responsive ; Sharp, edge-lit E Ink display

Ebook app not fit for purpose ; Audio recording impacts responsiveness ; Disappointing battery life

There's no sidestepping the uncomfortable truth here: the Huawei MatePad Paper is not a product you should buy in its current form. Although the hardware impresses in some respects – the M-Pencil and screen work well for note-taking when you're not...
