The built-in acoustics provide accurate and clear audio, which obviously contributes to the maximum enjoyment while listening to music and watching movies and TV shows.
It is no secret that the quality of sound transmission depends not only on the hardware, but also on software algorithms that improve it.

As a result of the Clari-Fi™ algorithm, music regains its lost semitones, expressiveness and emotionality.
Huawei SWS technology has also been improved. The Huawei MediaPad M2 already uses an updated algorithm, which managed to expand the sound coverage of the speakers from 120 degrees to an impressive 178 within a distance of one to two meters. More fun for two or more people watching movies.
An eight-inch screen with a resolution of 1920×1200 pixels is responsible for graphics and video content in Huawei MediaPad M2. It is protected by rugged glass and built on an IPS matrix with a dot density of 283 PPI, which provides wide viewing angles. The screen capabilities are enhanced by Huawei’s proprietary ClariVu technology, which algorithms help to adjust image parameters depending on the conditions of tablet use. For example, you can increase the brightness and contrast when working in direct sunlight.
