In the Chinese market, Huawei not only won the first share of the smartphone market in the first quarter of this year, but also surpassed Apple in the field of tablet computers.
According to data from market research agency Canalys, in the first quarter of this year, Huawei's tablet shipments were 2.141 million units, ranking first with a market share of 29%, a year-on-year increase of 88%. Apple shipped 1.956 million units, ranking second with a market share of 27%, down 3% year-on-year.
On July 1, Huawei launched another 1,000-yuan tablet: Huawei MatePad SE 2024, which is equipped with a Snapdragon 685 chip and is priced relatively affordable. There are two storage specifications: 8+128G and 8+256G, and the prices are 1299 yuan and 1499 yuan respectively.
Many tablets in the same price range still use the entry-level high brush - 90Hz refresh rate. The Huawei MatePad SE 2024 is equipped with a 120Hz refresh rate screen, which can bring users a smoother experience with the latest HarmonyOS 4.2 system optimization.
At the same time, the official also released a teaser, and on August 1, another tablet, the MatePad SE 2024 Vitality Edition, will also be launched.
The reason why the MatePad SE 2024 is still using Qualcomm's chips should be because Qualcomm chips are still in stock.
Some bloggers broke the news that the chip of the MatePad SE 2024 Vitality Edition may be replaced with Huawei's own Kirin 710A.
Kirin 710A is a minor revision of the previous Kirin 710, based on the 14nm process, the CPU is 4 * A73 2.0GHz + 4 * A53 1.7GHz 8 core architecture, GPU is Mali G51-MP4.
It should be noted that the Kirin 710A does not support 5G networks, but for a thousand-yuan tablet that can only use wifi, this is not important.
Since it is a dynamic version, the configuration will be slightly worse than the MatePad SE 2024 model. It is reported that the screen of the MatePad SE 2024 Vitality Edition does not support high refresh rates, and the operating system is only pre-installed with the previous generation HarmonyOS 3.
In terms of price, the MatePad SE 2024 Vitality Edition is 200 yuan cheaper than the MatePad SE 2024 model, with a starting price of 1099 yuan, and there are also two storage specifications of 8+128G and 8+256G.
Previously, Huawei launched a tablet computer equipped with Kirin 9000WM chip - MatePad 11.5''S smart version, not only built-in Kirin chip, but also the whole system supports Starlight NearLink technology, 8+128G price is2099element. Because of the excellent cost performance, the MatePad 11.5''S Smart Edition was once "hard to find" after it was launched.
Although the configuration of the Huawei MatePad SE 2024 Vitality Edition is a little lower, the price is only about half of that of the MatePad 11.5''S Smart Edition. The MatePad SE 2024 Vitality Edition is still not stressful for online classes and light entertainment.
There is a unicorn core again! Huawei has teased a new tablet with a starting price of just over 1,000 yuan. Equipped with a Kirin 710A chip and with a starting price of just over 1,000 yuan, the Huawei MatePad SE 2024 Vitality Edition will further improve the product line of Huawei tablets and become the entry choice for Huawei tablets at a lower price.
