Huawei Matepad Paper
Effectively unbuyable new here — Huawei’s UK page 404s, it is gone from the lineup, and the remaining stock sells above its original price. There are no Google services and the built-in store is close to empty, though sideloading genuinely works so you can install a PDF reader you trust. The writing feel is excellent even while the finger-touch UI lags badly.
