Huawei MatePad Paper being an e-ink device will let you do both with less strain to your eyes and consume less battery. It features a 10.3-inch Eye Comfort Huawei FullView Display that boasts a cool 86.3% high screen-to-body ratio and promised a paper-like reading and writing experience.
The latter is achieved via Texturized surface of MatePad Paper and 26 ms low latency. The display further touts a smart refresh rate that adjusts according to the content you are viewing and yes, it plays well with GIFs too.
The device is powered by a Huawei Kirin 820E chip, bolstered by 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB onboard storage, and runs on the China tech giant’s proprietary OS, HarmonyOS 2. One of the benefits of HarmonyOS 2 would be the Sevice Widgets that allow for a quick preview of items like daily schedules, emails, calendars, and more.
