Huawei MatePad SE: Budget tablet arrives in Europe for €149.99

Huawei is now selling the MatePad SE in Europe, albeit the 10.4-inch version, not the 10.1-inch edition that launched earlier this year. While the 10.1-inch edition relies on the Kirin 710A, the 10.4-inch MatePad SE utilises the more powerful Snapdragon 680. For reference, the latter has four ARM Cortex-A73 performance cores, four Cortex-A53 cores and an Adreno 610 GPU.

Additionally, the 246.9 x 156.7 x 7.8 mm and 440 g tablet has a 2,000 x 1,200-pixel display that supports 4,096 pressure levels for an active stylus. The MatePad SE ships with HarmonyOS 3 too, Huawei’s in-house operating system with Huawei Mobile Services (HMS) instead of Google Mobile Services (GMS). Hence, there is no native Google Play Store support with the MatePad SE.

Currently, the MatePad SE is orderable from Otto in Germany for €149.99, plus shipping. While the retailer sells the tablet with just 32 GB of storage for now, there should be 64 GB and perhaps even 128 GB editions available eventually. Please see Huawei’s website for a full specification rundown and our benchmark database for how the Snapdragon 680 compares against the Kirin 710A.
