a phone with a large screen can only get you so far when you want to sit down and watch a movie or listen to some music but if you're not looking to give up the convenience of portability well that's where the world of small tablets fit in and Huawei just introduced the new media pad m3 that marries both in a really beautifully designed package the m3 is a serious upgrade to the m2 both inside and out the 8.4 inch Android tablet is a metal unibody design with beveled edges and a smooth curve that fits easily on one hand it's a real pleasure to use and it has a solid feel to it that makes a big leap from the company's earlier devices there's a fingerprint sensor on the bottom that also acts as a shortcut to display the apps you have open and the bottom edge has room for a SIM card for data access on the go the device comes with either 32 or 64 gigabytes of storage and you can expand that using the SD card tray on the bottom the m3 is bright high resolution display is easy to read in all conditions including outside in the Sun at night you can also engage I protected mode to filter out blue light that tricks your brain into thinking it's daytime which is great for late night browsing the octa-core processor and four gigs of RAM is plenty fast for most media needs and while you probably won't be using this for heavy gaming sessions it's perfectly responsive for movie watching and accessing apps the dual eight megapixel cameras on the front and back are great for video chats and light photography if it's a last resort Huawei partnered with Harman Kardon to build one watt stereo speakers onto the top and bottom of the device when you have it in landscape mode the speakers can get up to a respectable volume but you'll want to use headphones to take full advantage of the high res audio support so far only European pricing has been announced the Wi-Fi only model with 32 gigs is 349 euros which is about 390 US dollars or you can bump up to the 64 gigabyte version with 4G LTE for 449 euros or 500 bucks if you're in the market for a tablet with a stunningly clear screen the m3 is a great contender and you can pick it up in Europe on September 26 this is the huawei media Pad m3 thanks for watching you
