The screen is made up of 32 LEDs that can be customised depending on your surroundings. I’d categorise it as an e-reader, and I’d recommend that anyone interested in it treat it solely as an e-reader. In my experience, I wouldn’t recommend the MatePad Paper as a tablet. This is probably my biggest gripe with the MatePad Paper overall: it includes features that you’d associate with a tablet, such as the ability to watch media, but it isn’t really capable of being used as such. The tablet also glitched out often whenever there was too much on-screen, with most YouTube videos looking too bright or distorted. The black-and-white screen and low resolution make YouTube difficult to watch, with the refresh rate being too low to keep up with most media. However, it does limit the MatePad Paper’s use as a tablet. This makes the display particularly suitable as a reader, with the softer E Ink screen easier on the eyes than an OLED panel. The MatePad Paper’s 1872 x 1404-resolution, 10.3-inch E Ink screen is monochrome, with a PPI of 227. There are volume buttons on the right side of the tablet along with the power button, which also doubles as a handy fingerprint sensor to unlock the device. Since this device presents itself as a tablet, with you technically able to use it to watch YouTube or listen to music, I’d have liked to see a 3.5mm audio jack, too, although you can of course connect audio devices via Bluetooth. The only port on the MatePad Paper is USB-C, which is used for charging. I didn’t experience any issues with the stylus disconnecting or falling off the device, which can’t be said for the Huawei MateBook E, plus I appreciated having the M-Pencil so readily available during use. It’s possible to magnetically dock the M-Pencil onto the right side of the screen, with the folio cover keeping it in place when it’s closed. The faux-leather design of both the cover and the rear of the tablet look sleek and expensive – and, overall, the tablet proved resistant to smudges and fingerprints, which is a small but welcome detail. The device feels sturdy but not heavy, with the included folio cover ensuring it remained scratch-free on being thrown into my bag. The MatePad Paper looks more like an e-reader than a tablet, exhibiting a thicker bezel on the left side of the display, similar to the Kindle Oasis, to make it easier to hold it whilst reading. I’ve been testing the Huawei MatePad Paper for a few weeks now. While I welcome the concept, the execution is underwhelming – although a few changes would see the device tick many more boxes. This device works best for taking notes and reading books, although it’s capable of a lot more. Huawei’s latest device reminds me a great deal of Amazon’s Kindle range, with its standout aim being productivity over content consumption. While the M-Pencil stylus feels great in use, and the display is easy on the eyes, there are definitely a few key features missing here. Huawei has launched the MatePad Paper, an e-reader tablet hybrid that’s supposed to offer the best of both worlds.
