Huawei Matepad SE (Agassi6-W09DP) 11-Inch Tablet Review: 8GB RAM, 128GB Storage

The Huawei Matepad SE (Agassi6-W09DP) arrived on my desk promising a budget-friendly 11-inch tablet experience. With 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, it aims to deliver solid performance for everyday tasks. But does it live up to the hype? I’ve spent the last few weeks putting it through its paces to find out.

The Matepad SE boasts a vibrant 11-inch display with a 1920×1200 resolution, making it comfortable for media consumption and general browsing. Out of the box, it runs HarmonyOS 2.0, offering a clean and user-friendly interface. The inclusion of an 8MP rear camera and a 5MP front camera is a nice touch for video calls and casual photography. The device also includes a stylus in the box, adding versatility for note-taking and drawing.

Powered by the HiSilicon Kirin 710A octa-core processor, the Matepad SE handled everyday tasks with surprising ease. Browsing, streaming videos, and even some light gaming were all smooth and responsive. The 8GB of RAM ensures that multitasking doesn’t lead to noticeable lag. However, demanding games might show some limitations. The 7700 mAh battery consistently provided a full day of use on a single charge, even with moderate usage. Charging via USB-C is convenient.

While the performance is commendable for its price point, more demanding apps or heavy multitasking might push the processor and cause slight slowdown. The performance is best suited for casual users.

Pros:

  • Large, vibrant display
  • Smooth performance for everyday tasks
  • Long battery life
  • Affordable price point
  • Includes stylus

Cons:

  • Might struggle with demanding games
  • No SIM card support for cellular data
  • Camera quality is average

The Huawei Matepad SE (Agassi6-W09DP) provides excellent value for its price. If you’re looking for a reliable tablet for browsing, streaming, and light productivity, it’s a great option. The included stylus is a significant bonus. While it might not be the best choice for power users or gamers, it excels as a budget-friendly everyday tablet. I would definitely recommend it to anyone seeking a balance of performance and affordability.
