Photo Tablets MatePad C3 and MatePad C5e from Huawei - who are you?

Walking through the wilds of the Widespread Web and suddenly stumbled upon mentions of tablets MatePad C3 8, MatePad C3 10 and MatePad C5e.


Huawei MatePad C3 8

I searched. Found that they are on the official website of Huawei. And one of them is even present in its Russian part. Who are they and why have you never heard of them before? And why is there a "New" mark next to them on the global version of the site?


Huawei MatePad C3 10

A brief study showed that all three discovered newcomers have ancient copies born in 2020. Simple, easy-to-understand, low-power cardsCards that are still actively sold in our country.

Why do old tablets need new names? But because these are now not ordinary tablets, but business tablets. Quoting:

  • Customizable home screen - exclusive startup animation.
  • Authorization of applications - installation of client software only.
  • Disable features - disable Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, camera, USB port, etc.
  • Always running applications - client services are continuously runningin the background.
  • Network Management - Access only to client-set URLs.

Plus encryption, backup... Etc.


Huawei MatePad C5e

I.e. if you are a corporation, then you order a pack of tablets and they are specially customized for you according to your requirements. They install software, prohibit this, that, the fifth, the tenth. And so on.

What is strange, while the tablets can be found on the open market. MatePad C5e, for example, is present on Ozone (the seller is Positronica). And the price is not insane at all.�. About the same as its predecessor MatePad T10s.

About the characteristics.

The chipset of all three is Kirin 710A, so crawling up to two hundred thousand points in AnTuTu will be a great success. (The MatePad C3 8 may also have variants on the MT8768, but the performance is even worse there).

Only the MatePad C5e has more or less decent memory.

The screens are different for everyone, but they are all very simple. Low resolution. You don't even have to worry about higher refresh rates.

The batteries are identical, 5100 mAh. The cameras are also the same and very simple - 2 MP in front and 5 MP in the back.

MatePad C3 8 is a happy owner of Micro-USB. The other two tablets are more modern, they have Type-C.

The whole trinity is blessed with dual-band Wi-Fi. No one has a fingerprint scanner, gyroscope, compass. The MatePad C5e does not have mobile internet support.

I don't see

MatePad C3 8 for sale in the Epsilon neighborhood yet. Link to MatePad C5e already given. MatePad C3 10 can be found, for example, Kitiki.
