This review is almost one year old. (my mistake in understanding the date, I saw a German flag and assumed German date format which is DD.mm.yyyy)

Also, wonderful hardware but android 12 in 2024 for 700 euro?

Moreover, can run only a generic browser and some showelvare. Most apps in the Huawei appgallery are broken and aren’t getting updates from 3-4 years. (I know because I have a Huawei p30)

Bootloader can’t be unlocked so you’re stuck with a useless outdated os that can’t run most apps

Maybe I’d get one for €100 as a smart home display or for light internet browsing…

GSMArena states that the Huawei MatePad 12 X was released on September 19th 2024.

Oops, misread the date, I read Published 11/01/2024 and in my locale it means January 😅

Yeah, I don’t understand why Americans (and notebookcheck) still use MM-DD-YYYY.

I could use a 12” tablet, but only if I can install alternative ROMs on it.

Universal stylus, matte screens, e-ink displays. I want more stuff factoring these things more seriously into their designs.

The matte screen is enticing especially with stylus support but it’s too big for what I’d use a tablet for. The pixel tablet I already have is too big, honestly.
