Huawei announces half e-reader, half tablet MatePad Paper

Huawei's newest tablet is also an e-reader. If you wanted more features than a Kindle, that's what the MatePad Paper offers. It's a 10.3-inch device featuring a greyscale screen with an anti-glare reflective display for low-light use. It can reproduce 256 shades of greyscale to display text, images, and videos. I'm not sure I'd be too excited about black & white videos (unless they're created that way). But it's an option here. It also has 32 levels of backlighting.

For an e-ink device, the MatePad Paper has relatively smaller bezels. Huawei says it can achieve an 86.3 percent screen-to-body ratio but gets a book spine-inspired design to make sure you still have something to hold. The MatePad Paper also supports the Huawei M Pencil, so you can scribble or annotate on documents or books. According to the company, it has refined the sensitivity of the textured screen to 26ms, which might not seem much for newer devices. But it's a notable feature on a matte e-ink surface.

Samsung to host another event at MWC 2022

Samsung seems to have a lot to announce this quarter. The company plans to hold another event at this year's Mobile World Congress. It's another entirely virtual event taking place on February 27. You can watch through Samsung's website or its YouTube channel.

You don't have to be a techie to know that Samsung just recently unveiled its newest flagship phones and tablets. And that recently concluded Galaxy Unpacked event typically coincided with MWC. So, it's a bit surprising that the company has another one following up so soon. The first graphic associated with the event only shows the outlines of its products, including Galaxy S, Galaxy Tab, Galaxy Fold, Galaxy Watch, and Galaxy Book. Are we getting software-related news? Guess we'll have to wait and see.
