I'm Andrew Hoyle CNET and I'm here taking a look at the Huawei media pad m1 now the m1 is an 8 inch slave which immediately makes it more comfortable than most other 10 inch slates you definitely will not struggle to hold this in one hand and if you push hard enough you'll probably get it into a jacket pocket as well now its size does mean that it's going up against Apple's iPad Mini and with a resolution of 1280 by 920 pixels it's not competing in display terms but why--wait does tell me that it will be quite a bit cheaper now that display is quite bright though and it has good viewing angles as well now physically it's not bad-looking either you can see it's got a mostly metal design and on the front you've got dual front-facing speakers which does make it look rather reminiscent of the HTC One now you can bang a SIM card inside which not only gives you 4G data but also let you make calls or send texts so theoretically you can use it as a phone if you don't mind looking ridiculous holding such a big thing up to your face under the hood is a 1.6 gigahertz quad-core processor and it comes running Android 4.2 jelly bean that's not the most recent version of Android but with Wiley's emotion user interface on top you probably won't notice much difference there was no official word from Huawei on pricing yet but it is expected to sit somewhere around the 200 pound mark when it goes on sale in the UK in May while he hasn't yet said whether it'll be available outside of the UK or in the US but make sure to keep it CNET for all the latest news I'm Andrew hall for CNET and this is the qua weight media pad m1
