I believe everyone is curious whether buying Huawei Matepad 11 now is a blood loss? Because with the release of Pro 11, everyone may not be sure whether matepad 11 is about to be eliminated by the tablet market, and they are afraid that buying it now is a proper takeover behavior.

But according to my own understanding of the tablet: I am personally optimistic about the Huawei Matepad 11 tablet, at least currently in the current Android tablet market, you want to find the Matepad 11 replacement product is almost impossible. (Huawei's own products such as Pro 11. and Pro 12.6 do not count).

Even in the case of the same budget iPad tablet (budget of about 3,000 yuan), its comprehensive experience is still not as good as the Huawei matepad 11 experience.

Huawei Matepad 11 is definitely a very cost-effective tablet in the current tablet market, and it is basically impossible to eliminate it at present, unless it is next year that friends come up with some real materials and may have a little chance.

Preface:

<我是摆地摊的西瓜君，一个简单的平板数码爱好者。>

Now let's talk about why the Pro 11 has been released, but matepad 11 still has a higher cost performance reason.

matepad 11

Huawei Matepad 11 Product Introduction:

Meets the needs of use:

1. Learn to use:

Notes introduction

Huawei Matepad 11 Whether it is online lessons, or note-taking, the overall needs can be met, and it is also the current Android tablet market stylus experience second only to Samsung and Apple's tablet, dare not say how easy it is to use, but at least it can be used.

2. Entertainment needs:

Chase dramas

This tablet has an 11-inch 2K 120HZ screen, equipped with four-channel speakers, and its product viewing experience is also second to none, and the experience is definitely in the top few for the current entertainment tablet.

In terms of chips, the peak performance of the Snapdragon 865 combined with the low heat dissipation of the plastic body makes the Matepad 11 experience and performance inferior to other Snapdragon 870 tablet products on the market in the occasion of high-performance requirements, such as continuously playing some large-scale games, editing high-definition videos and so on.

But it's not that Huawei Matepad 11 can't do these high-performance requirements, just that the experience is not so good, and the frame rate of playing games will not be so high. (Mainstream online games such as: King, Chicken or casual play.) It's not a big problem for a large game like Genshin to stick to it for about half an hour, and the picture will start to drop frames after a long time).

3. Office needs:

WPS software for PC

At present, matepad 11 does not have any so-called professional office capabilities, and it is okay to simply view and read data documents.

Professional office needs to wait until matepad 11 tablet system upgraded to Harmony 3.0, at that time with the PC version of WPS software, and with a set of Bluetooth keyboard and mouse peripherals, you can get an office experience no less than a notebook.

4. System experience:

At present, in the domestic Android tablet, Huawei's Hongmeng system experience is absolutely second to none, whether it is the stability and fluency experience of the system's own operation, or the number of Android software adaptations, it is a relatively bright existence in the few tablet operating systems.

Among them, the more distinctive black technologies include: parallel world, smart window, cross-screen collaboration, cross-device task flow and other functions.

Hongmeng 3.0 black technology: mobile phone communication sharing technology, PC application engine (adapted to Linux version of WPS software), PC remote control (similar to Sunflower remote, more convenient than that).

The system of other tablets does not have so many novelties at present, and everyone is still decently rolling in unknown places.

Therefore, the Hongmeng system in my opinion, although it dare not say that it is an absolutely perfect system (there will be small bugs in daily use), but at least in the overall use experience, it is much more comfortable to use than other domestic Android tablets.

Now let's pull out the Huawei Matepad 11 and compare it with other Android tablets:

This picture lists tablet models with similar prices, basically all of the current tablet family portraits, we will compare them one by one to help you understand the situation of Huawei Matepad 11 in the current tablet market, you can briefly browse it first.

The first is the learning experience:

At present, the Android series of tablets that can meet the needs of note-taking are Huawei and Samsung.

(Apple's second-generation pen stylus experience is better than Huawei's stylus, second only to Samsung's S-Pen stylus.) ）

Samsung S-Pen

Many people may say, isn't there still Xiaomi, Honor, Lenovo? Including tablets like OPPO VIVO are also equipped with a stylus, why say that there are only Huawei and Samsung tablets.

The reason is probably that these manufacturers do not care to make styluses at all, most of their styluses tend to be formalistic, belonging to drawing lines okay, if you really want to write with a pen, the stroke of the character can not support the head, the line quality is poor.

Huawei compared to Apple

Therefore, when these tablets do stylus publicity, they will always publicize how low the delay of their stylus is, how awesome the experience is, never mention the line quality of the stylus, the pressure of the nib, etc., and will not guarantee that you will not break the touch when writing, leakage ink, and refuse to mention the anti-false touch function of their own software, because when talking about this, it will show the stuffing.

Of course, I am not here to instill in everyone that as long as you buy a Huawei tablet or Samsung tablet, the writing experience must be very good, but relatively speaking, Huawei and Samsung two brands to do slightly better in these aspects.

Especially the Samsung tablet, which is definitely the boss of the current stylus experience, much better than Apple's experience, basically there are no small problems such as ink leakage and broken touches.

On the other hand, compared with Apple, Huawei's second-generation stylus will leak ink, break touches, pressure failure, etc. will be slightly more, but most of them are due to quality control, and timely replacement is on the line. Apple's side also basically does not have these minor problems, but this does not include the experience of the flat pen.

Flat replacement pens are not guaranteed, so when buying a stylus, try to advise everyone to buy an official stylus, it is not recommended to buy a flat pen unless necessary, it is very likely that the money is spent, and the experience is not in place.

Huawei's Matepad 11 Stylus Experience: (Note-taking Software Cloud Note)

Of course, I know that there are many people who will say that I wash Huawei here, say that I pollen or something, say that the stylus experience of Xiaomi and Glory is not so bad at all, and the answer Lord collected money in this embarrassing black.

I don't want to argue about anything, but I recommend a more practical comparison method to you here:

If you really want to buy a tablet to take notes, you can go directly to the surrounding brand direct stores to experience it offline, personally hold a stylus to try the writing effect, there is a contrast is the gap, when you experience the brand you want to buy, you will have the result in your own heart.

If you feel that it is inconvenient to go to the experience store, then you can go to the B station, search for some writing results shared by netizens, it is recommended not to find any big blogger evaluation, meaningless, just find the kind of individual consumers, actual users sent to share or spit videos, and comments under such videos, so that you can very accurately contact the real feedback of consumers of the product.

Because most people will want to complain about certain shortcomings or share some experiences after buying and experiencing the product, there will be many users to watch and compare, and then discuss these contents together in the comment area, these evaluations are very rational and objective, and can effectively reflect the consideration of the quality of the product.

Then you are comparing what different brands of netizens are discussing, and you can get a relatively objective understanding of the product. (For example: the most discussed by a certain three tablets is the stylus experience, the most fruitful is what nib to buy, what kind of nib sleeve to match, paper-like film handwriting experience is better, most of the certain is a variety of small problems, how to solve small problems, )

Therefore, in a comprehensive comparison, in the current tablet market, it is recommended to learn to take notes on the tablet, my suggestion is to prefer Samsung, Apple to choose one, Huawei can be used as a substitute, do not recommend other brands of tablets.

Entertainment experience comparison: (back to this picture)

matepad 11 basic configuration: Snapdragon 865, 11-inch 120HZ LCD screen, four speakers, 7250mAl battery and 22.5W fast charge, all plastic body material,

For entertainment needs, the most direct impact on our use experience is the hardware configuration of the tablet, basically the configuration heap is high enough, the entertainment experience will naturally go up.

Chip performance comparison:

According to the picture, it can be found that the current mainstream CPU of Android tablet is mainly based on Snapdragon 870, and the gap between Snapdragon 870 and Snapdragon 865 is not much, Snapdragon 870 in performance at most is the overclocked version of Snapdragon 865, if you do not consider the heat dissipation conditions, you don't have to care too much about the gap between the performance of these two CPUs.

Screen comparison:

In terms of screen, basically everyone is LCD material 120HZ refresh rate screen, and there is no gap.

The only difference is that Lenovo has two OLED screens and an AMOLED screen, and these three tablets will have more advantages than matepad 11 in visual presentation and screen effects.

But the Kunpeng 1300T processor equipped with Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2022 is more crotch-pulling and cannot be put on the table.

And Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2022 Snapdragon 870 Although the hardware has a small lead, including the OLED screen like Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.6, but their own tablet system drags its feet, the daily use experience will not be very good, there are more small bugs, and the parallel world is also a small problem.

So you can only say that these three tablets have a slight advantage in watching movies and chasing dramas, and Huawei Matepad 11 is not comparable to Huawei in other aspects.

Comparison of the number of speakers:

It can be found that the current mainstream tablet configuration is also a four-channel four-speaker configuration:

Therefore, there is no case that the volume and sound quality of which tablet will be much better than other devices of the same type, there will be some slight differences because of the different brand quality of the speaker, but for most ordinary people, it is actually just a sound.

(Four-channel refers to the four positions of upper left, lower left, upper right, and lower right, which are used to create a more three-dimensional ambient sound effect, and the effect experience will be better, and it is significantly better than the two-channel tablet)

Note: Although the Xiaomi Mi Tablet 5 Pro has 8 speakers, it is also a four-channel configuration, and its effect is that the volume is louder, and it will not improve the sound quality and stereo effect significantly.

Battery life comparison:

Although Huawei Matepad 11 seems to be at the bottom of the battery capacity and fast charging power, it does not mean that his battery life is the worst.

Because of the products between different brand manufacturers, even tablets with the same battery capacity will have different operating power consumption due to different CPU energy consumption and different system scheduling, resulting in different final battery life.

But what we can be sure of is that Huawei Matepad 11 can basically ensure that reading notes can be maintained in five or six hours of homework, watching movies and chasing dramas is the same, brushing Zhihu browsing the web for seven or eight hours is no problem, daily use and standby, basically can guarantee more than one day, can meet the needs of the vast majority of users.

Comparison of flat panel systems:

At present, Huawei's Harmony system experience will be better than the MIUI 13 of the Xiaomi tablet, the zui 14 (Android) of Lenovo Xiaoxin tablet, the Magic UI 4.0 of the honor tablet, the ColorOS 12.0 of the OPPO tablet, and the OriginOS HD of the vivo tablet.

The more distinctive functions of the Harmony System include: parallel world, smart window, cross-screen collaboration, cross-device task flow and other functions.

In addition, Hongmeng 3.0 black technology: mobile phone communication sharing technology, PC application engine (adapted to the Linux version of WPS software, can be understood as the computer version of WPS), PC remote control (similar to Sunflower remote, more convenient than that) are also very used functions.

Here are two key points to talk about the black technology of Hongmeng 3.0:

The first one: WPS for PC (not currently supported by matepad 11)

WPS software on Huawei tablets

After the tablet system is upgraded to Harmony 3.0, the tablet can use the WPS office software on the PC side, and after matching the mouse and keyboard, the office experience can kill any tablet in the current tablet market.

However, at present, matepad 11 has not fully opened the update Hongmeng 3.0, you can apply for an internal test in my Huawei App.

The second: communication sharing technology (also needs Harmony 3.0)

After upgrading to Harmony 3.0, Huawei tablets can communicate and share with mobile devices that are also updated to Harmony 3.0.

After sharing with mobile phone communication, the tablet can get to receive and receive calls, receive SMS and other functions, and at the same time can directly use the data traffic of the SIM card, and include the free traffic of the specified free software, and the WiFi above the status bar will also be updated to the networking mode, showing the current 4G or 5G network signal.

In this way, you will no longer have to touch your phone to receive a verification code in the future, and you can also automatically identify the mobile phone number to log in to our various social accounts.

Its function is similar to if you copy a mobile phone SIM card inserted into your tablet, the power consumption is 30% lower than the hot spot, and it will not be like the mobile phone hot spot, power consumption is fast, but also will cause the device to heat up a lot, kicking in the pocket is like carrying an atomic bomb.

For everyone to go out or travel in the future, go to the library and other places without wireless network coverage, this function is really not too fragrant.

Note: Although Huawei Matepad 11 does not support these two functions at present, after a while, Harmony 3.0 will be delegated to Matepad 11 sooner or later, so you don't have to worry about not being able to open these two functions.

Summary of phased comparison:

Whether in terms of learning needs or entertainment needs, Huawei Matepad 11 is a tablet with a comprehensive experience in the current tablet market, which can learn and entertain, take notes, follow dramas and play games, the system runs stably and smoothly without lag, and also comes with various black technology practical functions of the Huawei ecosystem. Therefore, even at the end of this year, buying a matepad 11 is still a very cost-effective choice, and there is no outdated statement.

Or to put it another way:

If you want to brainlessly enter a tablet with a small budget, that is Matepad 11, because whether you use it for learning, entertainment, or other needs, Matepad 11 can have the strength to plug in.

And if you want to buy a tablet that can take notes with the lowest budget, it is also this Huawei Matepad 11. (As the predecessor's matepad Pro 10.8 tablet and matepad Pro 12.6 2021 model because they do not support 120HZ crying fainting in the toilet.) ）

Because further up is the choice of Samsung and Apple, although the experience will be better, but the budget will also be more expensive, not to say the minimum budget standard.

Recommended selection for other tablet needs:

If you are pursuing pure entertainment alone:

Xiaomi tablets are preferred, the configuration is high enough, cost-effective, and the pure entertainment experience is much better.

If you are pursuing a better daily use experience alone:

If you don't want to be engaged in mentality by system BUG/lag, you recommend the honor tablet first, in addition to a slightly lower configuration, the daily use experience is second only to Huawei's existence.

Other brands of entertainment tablets:

Lenovo tablet is hardware can not fight Xiaomi, software can not fight glory, and its own brand reputation is not great, in addition to the basic entry-level small new pad tablet is more cost-effective, other models are not recommended to everyone.

OPPO pad and VIVO pad This is the brand's first test product, many things themselves actually need to be improved, in addition to the use of the brand of mobile phone users, is not particularly recommended to buy, the cost performance is not particularly high.

As for whether to buy matepad Pro 11:

Matepad 11 compared to its own matepad Pro 11:

As can be seen from the chart, this matepad Pro 11 has two versions to choose from, namely the Snapdragon 870 version and the 888 version, and the Snapdragon 888 also has an LTE network version (you can understand it as the 4G version) to choose from.

Their essential difference is basically the difference between chip performance and network mode, Snapdragon 888 performance will be better, and there is an additional pluggable card version.

The comparison gap with Huawei Matepad 11 is:

CPU comparison: (comprehensive comparison of performance and energy consumption)

Screenshot from Geek Bay Leaderboard

The Snapdragon 870 chip equipped with Pro 11 has a comprehensive performance that is nearly 5% higher than that of the Snapdragon 865 of 11, which is a small improvement (aside from heat dissipation), it can only be said that it is better than nothing. The Snapdragon 888 version has nearly 17% improved performance, which is a better look.

It can only be said that the performance gap, the ordinary version is basically not much different, in the performance version, the advantages of Pro 11 are obvious, and the experience in high-performance requirements will be better.

(Regarding the high heat and power consumption of the Snapdragon 888, it is not a problem for the tablet, let him run open)

Screen Comparison :

Screen comparison

The biggest improvement of Pro 11 is to replace the LCD screen with an OLED screen, which perfectly solves the problem of the dark corner of the LCD screen, and at the same time has a very large improvement in color gamut, screen contrast, and visual presentation, and the screen visual experience is significantly better.

The disadvantage is that there is no LCD screen to protect the eyes, especially in the case of insufficient external light, the eyes are very easy to fatigue.

In addition, when the screen displays a picture for a long time, it is easy to burn the screen and appear afterimages. However, for the current OLED technology, this problem is very rare, and we don't have to worry about the emergence of this problem.

In terms of body material:

Backshell contrast

As can be seen from the picture, the body material of the Pro 11 this time is a combination of metal frame and glass fiber material, and the heat dissipation performance is perfect, which must be crushing the matepad 11 of the all-plastic back shell, and the problem of heat dissipation is solved, then the performance of the CPU will definitely run.

So don't think that the performance improvement surface data of the Snapdragon 870 is not particularly large, but when playing the game in the actual scene, compared to matepad11, which requires frequent CPU frequency reduction to control temperature, the game experience improvement of Pro 11 will be very obvious.

This is similar to having two cars that can run 120 miles at actual speed to race, but one can only run 80 miles when the speed limit is limited, and if it exceeds it, it will automatically apply the brakes, which is how can you compare to another vehicle with no speed limit.

Comparison of styluses:

With the release of Pro 11 m-pencil snow white stylus There is no particularly big improvement, basically the second generation of m-pencil base, just change the skin, don't have too much expectations, are similar.

Comparison of other aspects:

In addition to the differences mentioned above, the basic ones are some differences between winning and not being self-defeating, such as:

The Pro 11 lens module adopts a large ring design, and whether it looks good or not depends on everyone's appreciation style. If you take a picture, who will take a picture with a tablet, basically as long as you can scan the code. Don't be too demanding.

Pro 11's screen-to-screen ratio will be larger than 11's, compared to Pro 11's black bars that look smaller and narrower.

The Pro 11 has two more speakers, but it's still a four-channel configuration.

So for most of us, it's a louder volume, the sound quality, anyway, I admit that I listen to it myself.

With that said, let's talk about their disadvantages:

First of all, Pro 11 is a digging screen, not a complete screen, obsessive-compulsive patients should be cautious.

matepad pro 11

Secondly, the position of the light sensor of the Pro 11 is a bit anti-human, and our hands will block this light sensor when we write notes, making the screen brighter down.

To solve this problem, you can only turn off the automatic adjustment of brightness, but you can't always take notes, and the same brightness, day and night feel different, adjust the brightness back and forth, more annoying.

Then there's Matepad 11:

matepad 11

Matepad 11 is a bit of a yin and yang screen, and there will be inconsistencies in brightness in the corners of the four screens, but generally do not observe carefully, and they cannot be detected, unless it is an obsessive-compulsive user. (Common LCD screen)

There is also the pure plastic body mentioned earlier, poor heat dissipation, playing games often high heat leads to chip frequency reduction, and the fuselage is also prone to scratches, it is recommended to use the case.

Suggestions for choosing these two tablets:

Matepad 11 is more suitable for the following types of users:

I care more about the budget, and I don't like to dig the screen, and I like to stay up late, (LCD is relatively eye-protective)

Student party, pay attention to cost performance, take it to study the needs of taking notes in graduate school,

For non-gamers, tablet daily life is to learn to chase dramas and the like.

These types of users in this Pro 11 hardware configuration upgrade, almost can not get any cheap, matepad 11 can do, why spend hundreds of thousands more to upgrade the configuration without any experience upgrade.

matepad Pro 11 is more suitable for the following types of users:

Users who don't mind digging screens,

Buy new and don't buy old truth practitioner users.

Users who don't care about budget and pursue the best comprehensive experience.

Users who like to play games or those who have high performance requirements are also suitable for users who learn to take notes

Users who like to follow movies and watch movies (Pro11's screen and external video effects experience will be better than matepad 11)

Two final nagging sentences:

It is recommended that you compare the advantages of the two tablets according to your own needs, and you can choose which one is more acceptable.

For example, obsessive-compulsive patients just can't accept the digging screen, ugly and dead, then matepad 11 is your best choice. On the contrary, as long as it can meet everyone's purchase needs, whoever prefers can buy whoever you prefer.

And in essence, matepad 11 after upgrading Hongmeng 3.0, the gap between it and Pro 11 is almost very small, basically Pro 11 can do matepad 11 can do, everyone should be rational to their own needs Oh.

That's the end of the article, thank you for watching.
