In May, the new phone market is not only smartphones, but also new tablets, and new tablets have been released and officially announced, such as Apple's new generation iPad Pro and iPad Air, Huawei's MatePad 11.5S and MatePad Pro 13.2-inch, iQOO Pad2 Pro, etc. This batch of new tablets has mid-range, high-end, flagship, and computer levels, and there are no low-end ones for the time being. This year, the main force of major brands is in flagship and high-end tablets, after all, the demand for low-end tablets is declining, and the same is true for smartphones, and many low-end machines have been upgraded to mid-to-high-end machines.
On the whole, the new tablet is mainly in the office market, mainly with the blessing of ecological functions and PC-level software, which can replace some functions of the computer, especially in light office. As a participant between smartphones and computers, the development of tablets is more difficult, so the major Android tablets have not released flagship tablets, and now it is different, tablets have become the best device for light business, watching movies and watching dramas, and learning. The development space is naturally getting bigger and bigger, so this year's new tablets are mainly high-end and flagship, and are no longer dominated by low-to-mid-range.
Apple's new phone was officially announced, and it will be fully sold on May 15, with a new generation of iPad Pro and iPad Air tablets, and a new generation of Pencil Pro stylus. In addition to the product, Apple also released a new generation of computer processor "M4", but did not release the computer, but equipped with the new generation iPad Pro. The M4 chip has a significant increase in performance, with 9 cores for the CPU, 3 performance cores and 6 efficiency cores, 10 cores for the GPU, and 16 cores for the Neural Engine. At the same time, hardware-accelerated ray tracing is supported, while the memory bandwidth speed is 120GB/s.
It is indeed a bit surprising that the new iPad Pro tablet is equipped with the M4 chip, mainly because the first release of this series of chips has always appeared on Apple computers, and now Apple has chosen to launch on the tablet. At present, only Apple has a computer-level processor on the tablet, so the positioning of the new tablet is more clear, focusing on the office market. The iPad Pro has 11-inch and 13-inch versions on the screen, and the screen used is the same, but the screen size is different. It uses a double-layer series OLED screen, which supports a maximum 120Hz refresh rate (ProMotion adaptive) and a global brightness of up to 1000nit.
The image configuration of the new tablet is a 12-million-pixel lens in the front and back, but one is a wide-angle five-lens lens (rear) with an aperture of F/1.8, supporting 5x digital zoom, FP autofocus, and up to 63 million pixels in panoramic mode. At the same time, the surface of the lens is made of sapphire glass, and there is also smart HDR 4 and so on. The other is an ultra-wide angle (front) with an aperture of F/2.4, which supports portrait lighting, Smart HDR 4, image stabilization, and more. The new tablet also supports eSIM cards, but does not support physical cards. In terms of battery capacity, the 11-inch version is 31.29Wh and the 13-inch version is 38.99Wh.
The new iPad Air tablet is equipped with the M2 chip, and the performance is naturally not as high as the M4 chip. However, on the screen, the new iPad Air tablet also has 11-inch and 13-inch versions, using LED screens, and the brightness peak is different between the two versions, 11-inch is 500nit, and 13-inch is 600nit. The image configuration is basically the same, the front and rear are 12 million pixel lenses, but there are fewer functions than the iPad Pro. It also does not support physical cards, only eSIM cards. The battery capacity is 28.93Wh for the 11-inch version and 36.59Wh for the 13-inch version.
