The machine comes with a 2.5D glass and there is no empty layer between the touch technology and the IPS screen technology on the front of the device Which is complemented by a frame that is less compact than that found in ipad.

When you install the tablet in portrait mode, the power and volume buttons are on the right side, and there is a button that supports multi-touch technology and can be used in fingerprint technology. The device is slightly curved on the rear and for the rear camera it is prominent but not annoying. The front camera is at the top of the frame with the Huawei logo on the left side and the USB Type C is located at the bottom but it was preferred to have a 3.5 m The device allows this but comes with the adapter device to convert from a USB port to a 3.5-m-port.

The screen of the device is a resolution of 2560 × 1600 and is a type of IPS and the size of 10.8 inches with the display system 16:10 and the beautiful thing that the screen offers you color control options and eye comfort, which allows the use of the device in the reading for long periods without fatigue Eye
The screen also comes with a 2K resolution, and the screen comes with a wide viewing angle, making the screen experience great, vibrant, colorful, and contrasting, making watching YouTube, Netflix, web browsing and gaming great.
And for the level of lighting is very good but not the best but preferred to use away from the sun and high lighting.
And the thing that will add to the features of the screen and makes it the most wonderful is that Huawei will provide four headphones in cooperation with Harman kardon, which will provide you with a clear voice experience.
Performance of the device
As for performance, the device is powered by Huawei's eight-core Kirin 960 processor, supported by 4 GB of RAM. This generation of Huawei processors is not the latest, but it is still very strong as the performance is very smooth in daily operation.
The bottom line is that the performance was good with browsing across the interface, surfing the web, multitasking, or gaming. This tablet is fast and responsive, making it a tablet designed to work and play together, but with games that require very high graphics, .
Battery life
In terms of battery life, the device comes with a capacity of 7500 mAh. It is very large for the size of the device and has proved to be more than adequate as it can withstand the second day with normal use and can last for 14 hours with intensive use.
Camera
It comes with a 13 megapixel rear camera with a 2.2-inch lens. But does not support LED flash but supports 4K resolution when you want to record video and front camera with 8 megapixel camera with the same lens of the rear camera.
The device comes with the camera application we used to from Huawei, where it will provide you with raw images and professional imaging, but it is also known that the cameras of the tablet does not reach the same level of smart phone cameras where the images are acceptable in general, but in light of the weak will notice And there is a high rate of interference because there is no optical stabilizer and no flash LED and the camera comes with aperture lens of 2.2 and for the front camera can be relied upon during video calls.
OS
The device comes with Android 8.0 Oreo with EMUI version 8.0. It is the same as for Huawei's smartphones, but larger. As usual, EMUI appears to be aesthetically similar to Apple's iOS, with round-square icons, a spotlight-esque search feature, and no application drawer, but the application drawer can be re-activated through system settings.
