Huawei launched a new tablet product on April 23rd. The "HUAWEI MatePad T10" and "HUAWEI MatePad T10s" exclusively for Wi-Fi can be purchased for the 20,000 yen range. It is equipped with an Android-based OS, but does not support GMS (Google Mobile Services). Some people may be wondering if there is any inconvenience in using it. I tried using the terminal borrowed from the manufacturer for about a week.
What is the difference between HUAWEI MatePad T10 and HUAWEI MatePad T10s?
What is the difference between HUAWEI MatePad T10 and HUAWEI MatePad T10s? What is the merit of "s"? First, let's check the specifications of the two models.

Most of the specifications are the same for both models, and the size and weight are also the same. The biggest difference is the display. The HUAWEI MatePad T10s is one size larger and uses a higher resolution LCD display. Therefore, the bezel is thin, giving the impression that it is a modern tablet. On the contrary, the HUAWEI MatePad T10 has a thick bezel and looks a little unfashionable. The HUAWEI MatePad T10s is equipped with a unique automatic image quality adjustment function called "HUAWEI ClariVu". The image quality is optimized according to the environment in which it is used.

The left is the HUAWEI MatePad T10s, and the right is the HUAWEI MatePad T10.Both are IPS LCDs, but the HUAWEI MatePad T10s clearly displays small letters.
Another big difference is in the speakers. Both have stereo speakers, but the HUAWEI MatePad T10s speakers are tuned by audio maker Harman Kardon. Compared to actually listening, the sound quality is different. The HUAWEI MatePad T10s is thick and you can enjoy a three-dimensional sound. HUAWEI MatePad T10s is recommended for enjoying music, movies and games.
Both HUAWEI MatePad T10 and HUAWEI MatePad T10s are equipped with a power key and volume key at the top when turned sideways.

Performance is suitable for middle class Battery life is inevitable
The processor is an octa-core HUAWEI Kirin 710A with a maximum of 2.0GHz. You can think of it as a middle class product. Basic operations such as launching apps and touch response can be done without stress. When I measured the benchmark of HUAWEI MatePad T10s, it was the same score as 6 series (600 series) in Snapdragon adopted by many Android devices.

The approximately 10-inch screen has a size that is easy to use both vertically and horizontally. If you are careful not to drop it, you can hold it with one hand and perform touch operation with one hand. The back panel is made of aluminum alloy and is sandblasted. The matte texture is easy to fit on your hands, but it seems that the oil on your hands is easy to adhere to.

For browsing the web, portrait orientation is convenient because it can display a lot of information on one screen.

In addition, it does not have a fingerprint sensor and does not support face recognition by the front camera. It is necessary to register a passcode or pattern to lock the screen. It's a shame, though it can't be helped because it's a cheap model.
Both are equipped with a large capacity battery of about 5100mAh, so the battery life is good. When I fully charged the HUAWEI MatePad T10s and played a movie for about 2 hours on "Netflix", 70% of the battery remained. Even if you take it out of the house and use it, it seems that you can use it without worrying about running out of battery.
After watching a two-hour movie, about 70% remains, and it can be expected to be used for 19 hours.It also has a "power saving mode" that makes the battery last longer.
The camera may not have high specs, and the image quality is reasonable. To be honest, don't expect it. Rather, those who have a Huawei smartphone will find it useful as a terminal for viewing photos and videos taken with a smartphone.
