H uawei has had its ups and downs, but produces
good-quality mobile devices with a quirky software infrastructure that’s not nearly as limited as it used to be.
The MatePad 12X Papermatte edition comes in at about the same price as a low-end iPad. It offers a good experience as a tablet, but anyone wedded to specific iOS or Android apps may want to check if their preferred software is available.
