Review on 10.4" HUAWEI MatePad 2021 Tablet, 4/64 GB, Wi-Fi, Android 10 without Google Services, Midnight Gray by Wiktor Barczuk ᠌

I managed (with a fight) to hand it over to the store after almost 2 weeks of use. Glad! The biggest problem is not the lack of normal authorization through Google, but in "Harmony OS". Most of the programs and toys that require android 10+ simply do not start, although they are installed. On my copy, I detected a floating (at a certain brightness) high-frequency backlight flicker, and on some gray backgrounds, an implicit flicker of 1-1.5 Hz is added. The sound is gorgeous, but the regular music library is poor, and besides, it is paid. Children's mode does not withstand any criticism. It can't be interesting. 4 GB tablet is not enough. In chrome, even with a couple of tabs, text jerks began (like 30Hz instead of 60). In the toy don't Starve - a few minutes of the locked screen are enough and the game is unloaded from memory (with the loss of progress). Advertising madness from the shell with effort can be etched, but not completely. Also, some "features" of the translation of settings and agreements were very puzzling, there is no unambiguous "yes" or "no". I noticed problems with playing streaming video in the browser and the FB application: the video "breaks up" or displays artifacts. The cameras are mediocre, even when needed to take a picture of the text. Summary: in the swamp. While Google, and most importantly: the android is not banned, using this "harmony" is natural masochism. On 4pda, there is nothing sensible for this particular model .
