Huawei wanted to take advantage of MWC2018 this year to present its new tablet Huawei MediaPad M5 with a 10.8-inch screen in its most advanced version, which we are sure will give a lot to talk about. Why do we say this? The main reason is a more than interesting value for money within the upper-middle range , which will attract the attention of many users.

Huawei MediaPad M5, enjoy a premium finish: # MWC18: Huawei MediaPad M5, a tablet with good sound and a stylus

In general, it must be said that this Huawei tablet is attractive to the eye. In addition to being thin, it weighs little and is built with quality materials . Perhaps for some, the frames are a bit thick. Although in this case it will be a matter of taste. However, this does not prevent it from boasting great portability.

To aspire to be among the best, it is essential to wear a premium finish . And in this you can not throw anything in the face of the Huawei MediaPad M5 . The matte aluminum back cover makes the intentions of the Chinese brand very clear. Not to mention the good feelings it transmits when you hold it in your hand.

Its IPS LCD panel is certainly on a par with the rest of the team. The fact that this 10.8 “screen (8.4” the smallest model) brings a resolution of 2,560 x 1,600 pixels , guarantees high quality images, with an outstanding level of detail. The colors are very realistic, the blacks are deep and the brightness exceeds our expectations, so we can use it outdoors without any problem. The screen is also covered by a 2.5D curved glass panel.

As for the internal specifications, Huawei’s proposal is super interesting, with an octa core Kirin 960 processor, accompanied by 4 GB of RAM and three storage options (32, 64 or 128 GB) , which can be expandable with a card. microSD up to 256 GB. The 7,500 mAh battery has a fast charging system patented by the manufacturer itself. The software chosen to get the most out of this hardware is Android Oreo 8.0 , which includes an EMUI 8 customization layer.

Photographic equipment 13 + 8 MP

For the photographic equipment, a 13 MP sensor has been used in the rear camera, with f / 2.2 aperture and phase detection autofocus , which delivers when there is good ambient light. Not so much when we take pictures in dimly lit spaces. One thing we don’t like about this Huawei MediaPad M5 tablet is that this lens protrudes from the chassis, which forces us to be careful. The front camera comes equipped with 8 megapixels, f / 2.2 and fixed focus.

Fingerprint reader, Stylus and USB-C port

The new Huawei tablet has a fingerprint reader inserted in the Start button that unlocks the terminal quite quickly. It should also be noted that this tablet is accompanied by a Huawei M Pen stylus with 4,096 pressure levels and an autonomy of up to 50 days. Its USB Type-C port will allow us to recharge this stylus with the same device charger. The good sound of this tablet is pleasantly surprised. No less than four stereo speakers , accompanied by a Smart-PA amplifier that bear the hallmarks of Harman Kardon engineers .
