1. Huawei MadePad SE 11: Tall display for your favorite movies

One of the advantages of having a tablet is its larger display when compared to a smartphone. While this makes it more cumbersome to carry around, it does have its Pros when consuming media. The bigger screen real estate offers a better viewing experience, and well, the Huawei MatePad SE 11 doesn’t skip out on this.

It sports a tall 11-inch TFT LCD panel that offers Full HD+ resolution, 400 nits of peak brightness, standard 60Hz refresh rate, 207 ppi density, 100 percent sRGB color gamut, and a high 85 percent screen to body ratio. This screen is surrounded by slim bezels for a more immersive viewing experience. Thanks to this tall display, you also get access to multi-window functionality.

2. M-Pen Lite Stylus & Speaker setup

Adding to its intuitive functionality is the support for the M-Pen Lite stylus. The tall 11-inch display is great for consuming media but that’s not all it is restricted to. You can even start doodling, drawing, writing, and taking notes with the addition of the M-Pen Lite stylus. This brings another layer of interaction as well.

Making the audio-visual experience is the speaker setup. You get a big screen that is great for movies, but you also get a great listening experience thanks to a quad speaker setup. This is paired with the brand’s proprietary Huawei Histen 9.0 audio tuning.

3. Budget Specs & Big Battery

Talking about the hardware of this tablet, the Huawei MatePad SE 11 (2024) is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 685 SoC, which is paired with up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. To recall, this is a budget mid-range chipset that was first released last year.

Although, it is still capable of handling most day to day tasks thrown its way. Under the hood, a massive 7,700mAh battery pack powers this device, which supports 22.5W wired fast charging. So you can expect decent battery life in your daily use.

4. Slim Body with a Premium Design

Tablets are much larger than a smartphone and aren’t as easy to carry around in your hand. So it helps when they aren’t too heavy or chunky. Huawei managed to cram all these aforementioned specifications in an ultra slim 6.9mm body. It weighs just 475 grams in weight as well.

While this isn’t exactly light, it is around the same weight as most tablets of its size like the Apple iPad. But that’s not all, the Chinese tech giant decided to refresh the design to make it more premium by using an aluminum frame in the MatePad SE 11 2024 edition. The new tablet arrives in two color options, namely Space Gray and Star Ocean Blue.
