Huawei MatePad SE 11

The tablet measures 252.3mm wide, 163.8mm tall, and 6.9mm thick, with a total volume of 285.154506 cm³ and a weight of 475 grams, making it a slim and relatively light device for its screen size. A stylus is included in the box, though the tablet does not support pen tilt sensitivity and does not come with a detachable keyboard or a backlit keyboard. The build is not rugged and offers no water resistance, and the device is rated for operating temperatures between 0°C and 40°C.

The MatePad SE 11 features an 11-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels at 206 ppi, delivering a reasonably sharp image for reading, media, and general use. The panel has a contrast ratio of 1400:1 and includes an anti-reflection coating, and it supports touch input at a 60Hz refresh rate. It does not feature branded damage-resistant glass, sapphire glass, HDR10, HDR10+, or Dolby Vision, and is not an e-paper display.

The tablet is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 4G, an octa-core chipset built on a 6nm process using big.LITTLE architecture, with four cores running at 2.4GHz and four at 1.9GHz, operating within a 6W TDP envelope. It is paired with 8GB of DDR4 RAM at 2,133MHz across two channels with a maximum bandwidth of 14.9 GB/s, and 128GB of eMMC 5.1 internal storage expandable via a memory card slot. The Adreno 610 GPU runs at 845MHz with a turbo of 800MHz, supporting DirectX 12, OpenGL ES 3.2, and OpenCL 2, while the chipset also includes integrated LTE, TrustZone security, NX bit support, and VFP version 4. Geekbench 6 results stand at 416 single-core and 1,466 multi-core.

The tablet features an 8MP rear camera with an f/2.0 aperture, a CMOS sensor, touch autofocus, continuous autofocus during video, HDR mode, and manual controls for ISO, exposure, white balance, and focus, though it lacks a BSI sensor, optical zoom, optical image stabilization, slow-motion recording, timelapse, burst mode, and panorama shooting. Video recording tops out at 1080p at 30fps, with no HDR10 or Dolby Vision recording support. A flash is present on the rear but the front camera has no LED flash; the 5MP front camera has an f/2.2 aperture and is suited for video calls, though neither camera supports 3D recording or 360-degree panoramas.

The tablet is equipped with stereo speakers for audio output and a single built-in microphone for voice input, but does not include a 3.5mm headset jack or a radio. Bluetooth audio codec support is absent across the board, with no aptX, aptX HD, aptX Low Latency, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, or LDAC available.

The tablet is powered by a 7,700 mAh rechargeable battery with a battery level indicator, though it does not support fast charging or wireless charging and the battery is not removable.

The tablet connects wirelessly via Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) and Wi-Fi 4, with Bluetooth 5.1 for peripheral pairing, and supports download speeds of up to 390 Mbits/s and upload speeds of up to 150 Mbits/s. A USB Type-C port is present, though it runs on USB 2.0, and there is no HDMI output, Ethernet support, or cellular module, meaning no 4G or 5G connectivity. It includes an accelerometer and voice commands, and supports multi-user mode, child lock, widgets, sharing intents, customizable notifications, and phone tracking. Biometric options such as a fingerprint scanner, facial recognition, and iris scanner are absent, as are GPS, a gyroscope, a compass, a barometer, NFC, an infrared sensor, Galileo navigation support, and a built-in projector. Direct OS vendor updates are not provided.

The device uses DDR4 memory and achieves a Geekbench 5 single-core score of 385 and a multi-core score of 1,550, providing a reference point for its general processing capability under that benchmark suite.
