DJI Treats Mirrorless Camera Owners To New Travel Stabilizer DJI RS 3 Mini

DJI’s Industry-Leading Ronin Stabilizer Portfolio Broadened With New Mini Version

DJI, the world’s leader in civilian drones and creative camera technology, today introduces DJI RS 3 Mini, a lightweight handheld travel stabilizer developed specifically to support today’s mainstream brands of mirrorless cameras and lenses.  With a smaller and lighter body, the DJI RS 3 Mini continues the excellent stabilization performance of the RS 3 series, allowing users to create professional-grade content while traveling around landscapes or in urban locations.

Furthermore, weighing less than 800 g (1.8 lbs), the gimbal can carry a weight of up to 2 kg (4.4 lbs), features Bluetooth shutter control, a 3
rd
 generation stabilization algorithm, native horizontal and vertical switching, and a 1.4-inch color touchscreen.
“Since the introduction of DJI’s Ronin series for cinematography in professional environments, DJI has been working on bringing professional-grade technology to an increasing number of content creators,” said Paul Pan, Senior Product Line Managerat DJI.

“The DJI RS 3 Mini is testament to DJI’s core value of bringing innovative stabilization technology to everyone with a love of capturing their moments in a photo or on video. Now, anyone with a mirrorless camera can experience the same industry-leading technology used on film sets and studios across the globe.”

With Just One Hand

The RS 3 Mini adopts an all-in-one design which is both compact and portable. At only 795 g (1.7 lbs) in vertical shooting mode, the RS 3 Mini is around 50% lighter than the RS 3 Pro and 40% lighter than the RS 3. This makes the device much easier to carry, and allows it to achieve great results with just one hand. It can be stored easily in a shoulder bag, and its weight makes it much more suited to traveling during longer outdoor shooting.

A Tool For Every Mirrorless Owner

With the ability to carry a weight of up to 2 kg (4.4 lbs), the DJI RS 3 Mini supports a range of mainstream mirrorless camera and lens combinations, such as the Sony A7S3 + 24-70mm F2.8 GM lens, Canon EOS R5 + RF24-70mm F2.8 STM lens or Fuji X-H2S + XF 18-55 mm F2.8-4 lens, to name a few (see the full compatibility list
here
). A powerful motor ensures that even when the zoom reaches the maximum focal length, the footage captured remains stable, and there is no need to repeat balancing.

Native Vertical Shooting

3
rd
 Generation Stabilization

Lightweight and powerful, DJI RS 3 Mini is a professional stabilizer that will bring an unprecedented, easy, and flexible landscape or street shooting experience to users of all levels, achieving portability and professionalism at the same time.DJI’s 3
rd
 generation stabilization algorithm as found in the RS 3 Pro, has been utilized in the RS 3 Mini to provide outstanding performance, whether the user is running, shooting at a low angle or in flashlight mode.

Content stability is ensured throughout shooting and professional-level image stabilization can be achieved regardless of the user’s experience. When users are shooting around human subjects, the RS 3 Mini achieves smooth camera movements effortlessly. Users don’t need to pay too much attention to footwork and pace, as the DJI RS 3 Mini can follow people steadily and switch between high and low angles for a more diverse range of shots. Dynamic 360°-rotation imaging delivers a strong visual impact and eye-catching shots.

 Effortless Connection

The Wireless Bluetooth Shutter function supports linking with the majority of today’s mainstream mirrorless cameras. After the initial linking, the camera will be ready automatically for action as soon as it is turned on, and users can directly control the video recording and photo capture functions via the record button on the gimbal, enabling them to concentrate on shooting straightaway.

When using a Sony camera with a supported digital lens, users can also directly control the lens’s optical or digital zoom via the front dial, eliminating the need for a camera control cable.

Control At Your Fingertips

For convenient control, a 1.4-inch full-color touchscreen, M-mode button to switch between the gimbal’s three custom modes and front dial for focusing, can all be found within easy one-handed reach.

Accessories A Plenty

Featuring a NATO port on the side of the body, the DJI RS 3 Mini opens up more shooting options by connecting various accessories such as DJI’s Briefcase Handle, external fill lights or microphones.

Fantastic Power For A Day’s Shoot

The integrated battery handle of the DJI RS 3 Mini provides up to 10 hours charge, meeting the needs of a day’s shoot. It supports charging during use and can be fully charged in as little as 2.5 hours

Make The Most With The Ronin App

The Ronin app has a wealth of smart shooting functions to help users get the most from their creations.

Time-lapse
: Add a timelapse to any video for an engaging opening or breathtaking transition.

Expected Core Modern Office Job Skills You Need Today

There is a whole list of modern office job skills that a potential employer looks for these days. They are mostly based around computers. However, you should also demonstrate strong personal skills if you want to get ahead of other potential employees during an interview.

Knowledge of Office Applications

First and foremost, you will be expected to know and understand a wide range of office applications when you apply for a modern office job. Especially careers that have to do with administration. If you aren’t comfortable with your current understanding, it might be a good idea to complete an
advanced Microsoft Word training
 course or something similar. Common office suites used by most companies include MS Office 365, Google Workspace, and Open Office.

Basic IT Skills

Almost every job in an office today requires working on a computer. Most of the time, you need to know how to enter data. But you also need to know how each operating system works, like Windows and macOS. But also how to use the different programs on each system. Modern office programs have tools for email, working together, and managing projects. Any of these skills is important for jobs that require you to write reports, take notes, or handle logistics.

Modern Office Job Skills Includes Communication

As an administrative assistant, one of the most essential qualities you can have is the ability to talk to people. Your employer needs to be comfortable counting on you as their representative. This includes
keeping in touch
 with clients, distributors, or business partners in a professional and timely way. Also, it’s important that you go into every interaction with a strong, positive attitude. Some of these things are talking to customers, VIP guests, and other coworkers.

Good Business Acumen in Your Sector

Business acumen relates to understanding how an industry or particular organization works. To have this kind of knowledge, you need to know where your company fits in the economy, who its competitors are, and what’s going on in the field right now. To show that you know how to run a business, you’ll need to show that you’ve researched a potential or current employer. You can demonstrate your acumen with professional group membership or with previous experience.

Being Able and Willing to Adapt

Since only 8% of employers offer adaptability training, it’s important to show organizations that you can adjust to new circumstances and pick up
new skills on the job
. This demonstrates you are a good leader, can handle problems well, and think quickly. To show this in your application, you could talk about a time when you learned something new. For example, when you were in college or when you had to adapt to something new or hard at some point in your career.

Summary

Many roles today require modern office job skills, even if you won’t necessarily work in one. For example, you will need to learn collaboration apps for working on a building site. So it’s good to learn office app skills, strong communication skills, and an ability to adapt to your job.


foodpanda Celebrates Pau-Pau’s First Birthday, Encouraging People to ‘Live Like a Panda’

This month, foodpanda’s brand ambassador,
Pau-Pau
, turns one! To commemorate this milestone, foodpanda launched its brand philosophy which encourages people to
‘live like a panda’
, meaning freeing up their time and energy to pursue what really matters to them.

Pau-Pau was introduced during a time when food delivery was undifferentiated with deals and discounts to personify the foodpanda brand and make it more relatable to people’s everyday lives. Since his debut, Pau-Pau has received immense love from millions of people across the region and has successfully created a positive perception in customers’ minds – making foodpanda their first preference for on-demand deliveries.

Throughout 2022, foodpanda has also received numerous requests for Pau-Pau merchandise, which highlights his growing fanbase.

Winning hearts all over the region

Pau-Pau, since becoming the face of the brand, has seamlessly made his way into customers’ everyday lives through social media collaterals such as Telegram and LINE sticker sets as well as Instagram filters, which are used by millions daily. He is constantly featured in prominent out of home advertisements, and has his own line of plushies and exclusive collectables – to the delight of customers.

In the past year, he has also been part of multiple exciting collaborations with partners such as
Tinder
,
Coffee meets Bagel
,
Burger King
, and
McDonalds
.

His hyperlocal presence enabled him to be a well-loved character throughout the region, amplified through in-market campaigns and initiatives. For instance, in Thailand last year, a giant Pau-Pau mascot visited an
underprivileged children’s foundation
 to celebrate Valentine’s Day with them and also deliver delicious meals and other everyday necessities.

In Taiwan, foodpanda launched a Pau-Pau promotion
campaign
 featuring three Pau-Pau statues about 2.5m high while in Singapore, Pau-Pau has his own
ice cream
 flavour and
pink cookies
!

“
The creation of our own brand ambassador, Pau-Pau, allows us to better connect and engage with millions of people who use the foodpanda app daily in a fresh, new way. With Pau-Pau, we now have the unique opportunity and creative runway to launch campaigns that bring to life foodpanda’s brand personality. While Pau-Pau had an adventurous 2022, for 2023, we are very excited for him to explore even more meaningful ways to add value to our customers’ lives.” said Monika Mikusova, Senior Director of Marketing APAC at foodpanda.

Representing purpose

Beyond just being an adorable mascot, Pau-Pau also champions sustainability and empowerment. In doing his part for the environment, he fronted foodpanda’s recent green initiatives such as “
Let’s do our Pau-rt
” – a sustainability program in the Philippines, and was the face of locally-produced sustainable beer in Singapore, called
“
Loaf Like A Panda
“
.

Pau-Pau believes in and advocates empowerment and living life on one’s own terms. On Pau-Pau’s first birthday, foodpanda launched its brand philosophy called
‘live like a panda’
, which encourages individuals to fret less about the chores of daily life, and focus more on what matters most to them.

In conceptualising the philosophy, the foodpanda team spent hours studying pandas and found that pandas eat as they want to, sleep as they want to and live life without unnecessary worries. Taking inspiration from this outlook, foodpanda believes that humans too can benefit from adopting a similar mindset, and focus their energies on things that truly satisfy them.

“We wanted to create a brand philosophy that will resonate with people of all ages across the region. With ‘
live like a panda
’, we hope to inspire our customers to look beyond their routine or chores that get in the way of doing things that they truly like, such as spending time with people they love. We want to help them free up time for things they enjoy doing so that they can find true satisfaction.” said Eunha Bhang, Chief Creative Officer, Delivery Hero Asia.

If you think curved displays are so yesterday, think again. Not only does it look good, it elevates the premium feel to any smartphone. Pairing the curved display with an AMOLED panel, and you will get a really good looking phone in your hand. But what about the durability? HONOR has an answer to that.

The newly launched HONOR X9a 5G is one heck of a tough cookie to break, so to speak. It is made to withstand hard impact on its body and display. Some of the tech reviewers even ran the HONOR X9a 5G over with their car without a scratch. It is possibly the strongest curved screen that I have ever encountered thus far. And they (HONOR) even gave me some walnuts to smash using the phone. That is how confident they are. No joke.

And so the HONOR X9a 5G was officially launched on the 5th Jan 2023 and officially on sale in Malaysia the day after. I am honoured to receive a review unit and give it a go prior to the launch and this is what I think of it.

First Look

The “A” in the name HONOR X9a 5G stands for “Advanced”, as what was told during the launch event. From the previously reviewed
HONOR X9
, I can vouch for the advancements. The new HONOR X9a 5G comes with a better display and the best thing about it, the glass is curved towards the side edges. With this curved glass, the whole look and feel about the HONOR X9a 5G is premium. It is also so much thinner than the X9. And the main plus point is the screen durability.

It is tough. It is very tough. My level of confidence with screen durability has just increased with the HONOR X9a 5G. Did I crack the walnuts? Yes I did. I placed the walnuts on the table and wham! Smashed them with the HONOR X9a’s display without hesitation and leaving zero scratch on the display. I was worried at first. But when I saw that it held up well, WHAM! I hit another walnut.

I was amazed. It was a tough nut, but the HONOR X9a’s display is tougher. I also did a drop test. The whole phone held up well and no visible scratches could be seen. Soon after that, I slap on the silicone case on the phone so that I don’t do any damage to it. Silly of me but that’s that.

You will receive the clear silicone case in the box along with a 40W charging brick and a USB-C cable. Good thing they gave a full set in the box. The HONOR X9a 5G that I received is the gorgeous Emerald Green colourway, which is also their signature colour for the HONOR X9a 5G. This is probably the best colour among the lot. Others are Titanium Silver and Midnight Black.

Around the back, you will see the prominent camera ring. It is a large ring with all the camera modules inside it. The main shooter has been bumped up from 48-megapixels to 64-megapixels. On the new HONOR X9a 5G, there is also a 5-megapixels ultra-wide angle camera which is absent on the HONOR X9. The other two modules are the 2-megapixels macro camera and an LED flash at the bottom of the ring.

What do I think about the camera ring? It looks rather unique. It may not appeal to some people but it kinda grew on me. Placing the phone on the table feels okay. It doesn’t wobble on one side because the ring is located right smack on the top middle of the back panel. And having the silicone case on, it is well balanced.

The volume rocker and the power button are located on the right side of the phone. I feel that the power button is placed a little too low towards the middle. I would accidentally lock the screen when I handle the phone with one hand. It is annoying at times but I learn to adapt to its location after a while. It would be nice to have it located elsewhere, like having a new layout or something. Having said that, the good thing is that the HONOR X9a 5G has a large display.

Having a large, in this case, taller display, means that the power button is close to the middle, but still nearer to the top. I know that I’m being a little confusing here but you’ll get what I mean. The display is a little smaller than the X9 but thanks to the curved display, it feels larger with less bezels along the sides. It has close to 93% screen to body ratio and I can hardly see the edges. It definitely has a gorgeous display, thanks to the AMOLED panel. It is also good to note that the HONOR X9a 5G supports 120hz screen refresh rate for that extra smooth scrolling and screen transition.

There is also a punch hole camera located right at the top in the middle. The front camera is a 16-megapixel wide angle camera system and I have taken a few selfies with it. My exact words were, “not bad”. It is bright and not too over processed on the “beauty” setup. I honestly don’t quite like using the beauty features because it tends to make a selfie look unnatural. But the selfie camera on the HONOR X9a 5G is not bad. More on that later.

The HONOR X9a 5G is supplied with a large 5100mAh battery and it can go on two full days before needing to charge again. I actually managed to push it close to 3 days before needing to juice up. That is pretty impressive if you ask me given that I use the HONOR X9a 5G as my daily driver during the review. And using it as my daily driver is a complete joy.

Performance and Usage

The HONOR X9a 5G is powered by the same Snapdragon 695 SoC as the HONOR X9. It also comes with an 8GB of RAM but it is also able to go up another 5GB of RAM via the HONOR RAM Turbo feature. This can significantly increase its performance in the long run. It also comes with 256GB of internal storage, opting out the 128GB variant. It may be similar to its predecessor, but I feel that it is snappier by a mile.

This is probably because the HONOR X9a 5G is based on newer Android 12 with Magic UI 6.1 as opposed to Android 11 with Magic UI 4.2 on the X9 right out-of-the-box. I do feel the difference in performance and somehow, it just worked better. I can multitask faster and leave most apps open to run in the background. Most of us Android users tend to swipe off unwanted apps thinking that it hogs up the memory but that is not the case with newer Android 12 systems. My tip for you guys, just leave them there. Android 12 manages the apps better and will put an app to sleep when idle for a long time.

On the HONOR X9a 5G, I feel that an app is being managed well. I can leave it on in the multitasking panel and it still does not slow down the phone. And thanks to the additional RAM from the RAM Turbo feature, it feels snappier. Checking emails, chatting, browsing social media networks and photo editing are done quickly. I like that it doesn’t lag while I edit a video on CapCut. It can render quickly even when I’m scrolling on TikTok. So performance wise, the HONOR X9a 5G is awesome.

As the name suggests, it does come with 5G ready. However, I don’t have any 5G enabled SIM to try the speed. Most of the service providers here are not ready to deploy their 5G packages just yet but it has been a long wait for most of us. But to fully test it, I shall wait when it’s ready. I will test the 5G speed on this HONOR X9a 5G when the time comes. That’s a promise.

When it comes to entertainment, the HONOR X9a 5G does not disappoint. Unfortunately, it doesn’t come with a stereo speaker. I do wish most of the newer mid-range phones to come with stereo speakers because this will separate them from the rest. And it will elevate the standard of the mid-rangers. Imagine binge watching some Netflix movies on the HONOR X9a 5G on its gorgeous AMOLED display, only to be put off by its mediocre mono speaker. It is such a waste of an awesome device if you ask me. And it doesn’t come with a 3.5mm audio jack either.

But having said that, HONOR also introduced their new HONOR CHOICE Earbuds X3 along with the HONOR X9a 5G during the recent launch event. So technically when you buy the new HONOR X9a 5G, you will also get the new Earbuds X3 for free. There you go. Now you can binge watch any movies with immersive audio experience. You may miss out on the stereo speaker, but you gain awesome earbuds to go with it.

Now that same earbuds can be used to play games as well. Gaming on the HONOR X9a 5G is awesome. Although it is powered by an aged Snapdragon 695 SoC, the whole gaming experience is still good. It is not great, but very much playable especially when it comes to graphic demanding games like PUBG New State and Genshin Impact. Playing PUBG New State on the HONOR X9a 5G is good. I can set the graphics to the maximum HD and FPS settings without any hiccups. It renders graphics quickly and does not lag at all. Screen is very responsive to all the touches and I face zero stutter overall.

All in all, gaming on the HONOR X9a 5G is fun. So if  you’re into gaming and want something new on the table, you should give the HONOR X9a 5G a go. It has a tough display, gorgeous AMOLED to go with it and good performance. Among the mid-range devices that I’ve tried recently, I liked this one in particular. Solid build and amazingly snappy.

Testing the overall performance with the Antutu benchmark, the HONOR X9a 5G hit a score of 403122 on my test. It managed to pip the previous score on the X9 by more than 10k so that is always better in my book. A 400k benchmark score is not bad for a device in this class. Gaming is possible and it has proven its worth through my daily gameplay. So in terms of performance, the HONOR X9a 5G is capable of many things. Big thumbs up from me.

When it comes to security, you can assign your fingerprints to keep your device secure. The HONOR X9a 5G comes with an under-display fingerprint sensor and the responsiveness of the sensor is fast and accurate. I don’t need to touch it a few times to unlock the phone. Just a soft quick touch will do. You can also use the fingerprint sensor to quickly log-in to your account with any compatible apps like BigPay or Touch n Go.

Camera and Photography

Now to point out the main feature of any smartphone, the camera. As I said earlier, the HONOR X9a 5G comes with a huge 64-megapixel sensor this time and it is time to see whether it shines through or fails badly.

Lets recap on the HONOR X9a 5G camera setup.

Main camera:

64 MP, f/1.8, (wide), PDAF

5 MP, f/2.2, (ultrawide)

2 MP, f/2.4, (macro)

LED flash, panorama, HDR

1080p@30fps

Selfie camera:

16 MP, f/2.5, (wide)

1080p@30fps

The hi-res photo is turned off by default on the camera app. When you toggle the hi-res photo on, it will shoot the full 64-megapixel image resolution. At any other given time, it will only shoot at a lower resolution, probably around 24-megapixel. I have noticed this on other Android phones and the purpose for this is to be able to capture and save photos quicker. This doesn’t bother me that much as I do need to save photos quickly sometimes. I will only toggle it on when I’m taking full landscape scenery shots so that I can capture more details in the photo.

In the camera app, there are several modes that we can choose. The usual one being the normal capture, followed by Portrait, Night, Macro, Aperture, Pro mode and few others. I simply stick to the normal mode 90% of the time. In normal mode, I know it will be using the main 64-megapixel camera to get the best out of every shot. And most of the photos I’ve taken are on point, with great colour balance and nice contrast.

On some of the older mid-range cameras, I do tend to get washed out photos when it comes to candid or portrait shots. The “beautification” feature went overboard with the post-processing optimization and I don’t like it. I don’t get the details that I want nor am I getting a well balanced colour vibrancy. But with the HONOR X9a 5G, I am pleased with the results all the time. The same can be said about the front facing selfie camera. The front camera is the usual culprit for over processed photos but the HONOR X9a 5G front camera keeps everything under control. It is a good selfie camera in my opinion.

Colours are very well balanced, noise is kept to a minimum in lowlights and I can still see good details in every portrait shot. Like the skin tone is more natural and the facial details are there. Not like it smoothes everything out making someone’s face look fake. I’m sure many of us have come across this many times. And the ultra-wide angle camera worked well without any obvious image warping around the edges.

Getting closer to a subject with the macro camera is okay. Details are captured nicely and I get to go as near as 4 cm away from the subject. But I do need extra light to capture noiseless close-up photos. When the light is less, you can see obvious noise all over the photo. This is pretty normal when using the macro camera mode. Hence why I stay away from this as much as possible. But it is handy when needed.

For any camera phone setup, I would prefer it to have a normal wide angle camera paired with an ultra-wide angle and a telephoto camera. That would be a good camera setup combination for any phone to have, don’t you agree? Normal angle for everyday use, ultra-wide for outdoor landscape photos or group photos and a telephoto camera for awesome portrait shots. So let this be a point of consideration to all phone makers out there.

As for videos, both front and main rear shooters are capable of shooting 1080p videos with 30 fps only. To be able to shoot a 2K or 4K video will be a bonus, but alas, we don’t get to see it on the HONOR X9a 5G. I can still accept 1080p with 60 fps but to be stuck at 30 fps, it’s kinda sad.

There is also a directors’ view mode in the camera app where you can capture videos of a subject along with your own reaction video that is captured on the selfie camera. This is great for capturing multiple videos at one time. There are other modes in the dual lens mode as well but is mainly used to capture your own reaction. It’s just a fun additional novelty feature to have anyway.

Let’s move on to some of the sample photos that I managed to capture with the HONOR X9a 5G.

Conclusion

Having a highly durable smartphone will keep me feeling safe knowing that I will not break the screen when it drops. Of course, I will also leave the original screen protector on for that extra layer of protection. I don’t need the extra protection on the HONOR X9a 5G but I’ll just leave it there so that I can sleep soundly at night.

What I like most about the new HONOR X9a 5G is the gorgeous AMOLED display and knowing it being tough, I have one less thing to worry about. The performance is better than I expected while the camera worked surprisingly well. It has one of the best camera systems in its class. It is something that I can work with when needed. And it is good enough for that Instagram shot.

For gaming, the HONOR X9a 5G performed really well. To get a better overall gaming experience, you can pair it with the new HONOR CHOICE Earbuds X3 so that you can keep the Bluetooth connection latency as low as possible for that seamless audio sync. I foresee the HONOR X9a 5G to be a hit with the younger Malaysians, thanks to its unique design and features. I personally like it as It is tough, slim and performs well during my full test.

So if you’re thinking of getting one for yourself, it is now on sale nationwide and you can get a free HONOR CHOICE Earbuds X3 for free too. Head over to

More Info

I have come across many new tablets in 2022 and I have come to like most of them. But the tablet market has always been a little quiet, mainly because the demand for it is low while the specification for each new tablet release is not up to par with today’s needs. I do notice problems with the latter. Powerful tablets are too expensive, while those affordable ones are just too weak.

Enter the new HUAWEI MatePad SE 10.4. Personally, I think this one has potential given that it comes with good hardware that matches well with the software offerings as well. If you’re into HUAWEI’s ecosystem such as HarmonyOS, you will feel right at home with the HUAWEI MatePad SE 10.4. Not only does it sound good on paper, it actually performs well as a daily tablet.

First of all, the HUAWEI MatePad SE 10.4 is based on HUAWEI’s HarmonyOS. So don’t expect to see Google Mobile Services on this tablet. If you wish to have apps installed, you can use HUAWEI’s own App Gallery. There is an “official” method to have Google on any HUAWEI devices but I will leave that up to you to proceed. For now, HUAWEI’s HarmonyOS it is.

The HUAWEI MatePad SE 10.4 is powered by the Snapdragon 680 chipset with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. Having a Snapdragon system on chip for this tablet is great, in my opinion. It is able to deliver fast responsiveness on the screen while performing smoothly in multitasking and app switching. It is one of the reasons why I said that this tablet comes with a good potential. And I’m very thankful it doesn’t come with HUAWEI’s own Kirin chipset. Also to note, the Snapdragon chipset is also LTE enabled, meaning you can use the HUAWEI MatePad SE 10.4 as a mobile device on the go.

The large 10.4” 2K Eye Comfort HUAWEI FullView Display is bright and vibrant enough to be viewed under direct sunlight. The 2K screen resolution is pleasing to the eyes even after long hours of use. Watching movies is also very entertaining as the HUAWEI MatePad SE 10.4 comes with stereo speakers. With a dual symmetrical speaker system tuned by HUAWEI Histen 8.0 technology, HUAWEI MatePad SE can widen the surround sound field and enhance human voice, making each call, line in the film, and online class crystal clear.

The volume rocker buttons are located at the top side on the left when viewing the tablet in landscape mode. Right next to the volume rockers is the power button. There is also a front selfie camera right in the middle of the display. It’s not that noticeable at first glance but you’ll know it’s there. The said stereo speakers can be found on either left and right side of the tablet, near the bottom part. While on the right side, is the USB-C charging port and the SIM/MicroSD tray.

Around the back, there is a single camera module setup. It uses a simple 5-megapixel sensor with f/2.2 sized aperture. This is just a basic camera, nothing fancy about it but photos taken with it are just decent enough. Best is to use the camera while being outdoors so that it can capture better photos in bright outdoors. But I won’t go too deep with the camera. The front facing camera is good enough for Zoom meetings when needed.

For daily usage like multitasking and some office assignments, the HUAWEI MatePad SE works like a charm. In fact, it does better than what I expect, all thanks to the Snapdragon 680 SoC and a good amount of 4GB RAM. Checking emails and replying to them is easy. Switching from one app to another is quick enough for me. And leaving a few apps open does not slow down the tablet at all. I am quite pleased with its overall multitasking performance.

It is also capable of having multi-window interactions, which works great when multitasking. You can have multiple windows open for easy drag-drop lines of words or making a file copy from one app to another. You can also drag a photo from the album and drop it off to a messaging app easily. The possibilities are endless.

Binge watching some movies was really entertaining for me. I do love the stereo speaker sound quality. The bass is punchy enough while the vocals are superbly loud and clear. I didn’t max out the volume, yet it is loud enough for a few people in my household to hear. So that’s a plus point for me.

As for the battery endurance, I am more than happy to declare while under my home testing, the HUAWEI MatePad SE was able to last more than 24 hours even after watching some movies and browsing the Internet. The large 5100mAh battery performed well under stress and some gaming sessions. I didn’t get to install my go-to game on the HUAWEI MatePad SE 10.4 but I’m good with just the simple ones such as Angry Birds 2. It is capable of handling PUBG Mobile, but I know it will be too much for it.

Since I have a HUAWEI laptop, it is so easy for me to make the file transfer from the HUAWEI MatePad SE tablet to my laptop, all thanks to the HUAWEI Super Device connection. Just drag and drop the files you see in the Super Device page and that’s it. Nothing is easier when two compatible devices work hand in hand.

Conclusion

There are not many tablets that are capable in terms of hardware specifications. As I said earlier, the good ones are too expensive while the cheaper ones are just not good enough. But the HUAWEI MatePad SE 10.4 is a very capable tablet to move forward towards 2023. If you’re okay with not having Google Mobile Services, then you will be more than happy with the HUAWEI MatePad SE 10.4 right here.

Multitasking is great, that is one of its biggest selling points. As an entertainment device, I love it to bits. The 2K display is fun to watch and the audio quality is surprisingly pleasant. It is one of those tablets that I find it difficult to put down. And I do some light reading on it too.

So if you’re thinking of getting a brand new tablet, just go for the HUAWEI MatePad SE 10.4. It is now available for purchase at
HUAWEI’s official website
 at a very reasonable price.
