Huawei has launched its new family of Android tablets this year, which they have dubbed the Huawei MediaPad M5 . These tablets are available in two screen sizes: 8.4 inches and 10.8 inches , with a Pro version for the latter .

These high-end Huawei M5 tablets opt for a more ambitious format, although their main attraction lies in an excellent quality / price ratio. Its features include the inclusion of a 2K widescreen with ClariVu technology, outstanding sound and a long-lasting battery. All of this will translate into a more immersive experience.

The Huawei MediaPad M5 has been designed to be held comfortably. Its wonderful screen with curved glass edges , will be perfectly integrated into a completely smooth metal casing. It must be said that this tablet, in addition to being thin and light , with 7.3 mm and just under 500 grams, is made from good quality materials. The rear panel attracts attention with a beautiful matt aluminum that is aesthetically very elegant.

On the front you can see some frames that although they are not very thick, many users would have appreciated that they had been reduced a little more to improve their portability. The frames of this Huawei M5 are rounded, a “detail” that apart from preventing us from cutting our fingers, they provide better ergonomics. At the bottom there is a button-shaped fingerprint reader , which works very fast.

Crystal clear 2K display

The Huawei MediaPad M5 mounts a large screen with 2K resolution , available in 10.8 inches (27.4 cm) and 8.4 inches (21.3 cm). Its 2,560 x 1,600 pixels will allow us to enjoy sharper images and more vivid videos than a high definition screen. The IPS technology guarantees us a very good viewing angles and excellent definition, with quite natural colors and a high level of black.

Regarding this section, comment that this screen uses ClariVu technology , which will help to appreciate every detail, adapting the contrast to the scenes that are being viewed and improving it by up to 20%. This panel has a 16:10 aspect ratio so you can have a wider view and enjoy your favorite movies and TV shows like never before. There is no lack of a way to protect the eyes from harmful blue light, thereby reducing eyestrain.

Harman Kardon speakers with 3D sound

Another point that stands out in this Huawei tablet are the four integrated Harman Kardon speakers that it carries on the back (two speakers in the case of the 8.4-inch tablet), which offer powerful 3D stereo sound with professional tuning . Something that is achieved thanks to Huawei Histen technology , which will make you feel as if you are there, experiencing a completely immersive virtual surround audio. We also found a high-fidelity headphone amplifier chip , whose function is to prevent the sound from losing quality when you are using your Bluetooth headphones.

Huawei M5 hardware

The powerful Kirin 960s processor that comes with the Huawei M5 (10.8 inches) offers maximum processing speed, whether you are watching a movie or playing games. This CPU is escorted by a Mali-G71 GPU and 4 GB of RAM. For storage there are different options (32 GB or 64 GB) depending on the model. This space can be expanded with microSD cards of up to 256 GB capacity.

This hardware setup is perfect for multitasking. With this Huawei MediaPad M5 tablet you can do different things on a single screen: from browsing the Internet to checking your emails. The EMUI 8.0 operating system based on Android Oreo will ensure that everything works perfectly.

Fast charging battery

In terms of autonomy, the 8.4-inch tablet has a 5,100 mAh battery, while the two 10.8-inch models have a 7,500 mAh battery that guarantees 12 hours of video on a full charge. They all boast the latest 9V 2A fast charging technology, allowing you to watch up to 1.5 hours of video playback with just half an hour of charging.

Photographic equipment

The rear camera sensor of the Huawei M5 is 13 megapixels (F2.2 and autofocus) . When the lighting is excellent it works very well, but the same does not happen in environments with little ambient light. We are glad that you have decided to include a professional mode that gives us the ability to manually adjust the various parameters. It should be borne in mind that this camera protrudes at least two millimeters from the chassis. Hence, we will have to be careful when placing it on uneven surfaces that can damage the lens. The front camera that comes with fixed focus, reaches 8 MP.

The rear camera of the Huawei M5 is 13 megapixels and works very well in bright conditions.

Sensors and connectivity

Apart from several sensors among which we find a gyroscope, a gravity sensor and a light sensor, in the field of connectivity we see a USB-C port, Wi-Fi 11a / b / g / n / ac, Bluetooth 4.2 and versions with LTE.
