Huawei MediaPad M5 Hands-on: More Than Just A Multimedia Machine

2018-02-25
just when you thought the tablet market was really on its downward spiral Huawei comes up with these two good performers it's Joshua Vergara what's going on everybody and this is the huawei media Pad m5 in a couple of different sizes ever since Netflix allowed downloadable content while we noticed that their tablet sales were kind of on the up-and-up so they have a new version here that comes in two different versions the 8.4 inch and the pro version at ten point eight inches both of them sports 2.5 D glass and come in at quad HD resolution that's an IPS panel in both at 2560 by 1600 resolution the pro series does come with a keyboard which allows for a little bit more functionality along with the Huawei pen that allows for stylists like experiences what is nice is that the media consumption experience is really being considered well you have our dual speakers on the 8.4 inch or four speakers on the 10.8 inch tablets all powered by Harman Kardon and they sound pretty great so if you are watching Netflix quite a lot or even just YouTube or any other media on these tablets you'll have a great audio experience and all of that is powered by the cure in 960 and is rocking emui 8.0 as far as battery life goes if you are doing those binge watching sessions then the 8.4 inch tablet will get up to 11 hours of 1080p video playback while the 10.8 inch tablet will get about 10 hours but it takes less than 3 hours to get a full charge on these large batteries for both of these tablets as far as design goes there's really not a whole lot to say about these two tablets other than the fact that they have that form factor there is a nice screen on the front of both of these devices but there's plenty of bezel around it which could or could not be a bad thing depending on what your handling is like and both of them do come with cameras and maybe you are going to be the kind of person that doesn't use the camera very often but at least it is there if you want to take a quick snap of whatever's in front of you while you're enjoying your media while we also took into consideration some gaming in here as the Kirin 960 takes the processing power and diverts it to the gaming that's being done and actually blocked social apps so that you're not disturbed while you're in the middle of a big sesh but of course whether or not you're going to want the media pad m5 comes down to whether or not you use tablets at all and that's actually a question you wanted to pose to you do you use tablets in your daily and let us know if you do what'd you use them for and is the huawei media pad m5 a consideration that you would make overall it's nice to see that tablet still have a bit of a space inside of the Android ecosystem but overall we think that the media pad m5 is a worthy addition to anyone who wants a big screen experience especially for media consumption keep it tuned to Andrew authority for even more about Huawei's announcements during MWC and even more from over world congress here in barcelona keep it tuned to yo for even more and head on over to Andrew 30.com for all of the great coverage and don't forget to subscribe to our channel if you haven't already because we are your source for all things Android
