Huawei MediaPad

For those who don't feel like messing with the advanced graphics options in the "video quality" menu, it's possible to just use the five presets. Worthy of praise: except for the DirectX mode, all settings are directly adopted into the game (though not...

If on the other hand you want to take a fresh look at the Android tablet and don’t mind that your device looks strikingly similar to an original Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, Huawei is here to back you up. The speaker system is strong, the display is fairly...

Attractive design ; Strong audio output ; Dearth of pre-loaded apps

Weak battery life ; Heavy OS skin ; Uneven performance

Huawei's MediaPad 10 arrives too late with specs that have since been overtaken by rivals. Coupled with limited regional availability and prohibitive pricing, this is an ICS slate that's best overlooked.

10.5mm slim aluminum unibody ; 7.0" 256K-color IPS TFT capacitive touchscreen of WXGA resolution (1280 x 800 pixels) ; Weighs 390 g ; Qualcomm MSM8260 chipset: Dual-core 1.2GHz Scorpion processor; 1GB of RAM; Adreno 220 GPU ; Android 3.2 Honeycomb,...

Poor camera ; Non-replaceable battery ; No scratch-resistant screen surface ; No LED flash

3G connectivity ; Can make phone calls

Performance stutters ; A bit bulky

Let’s be honest, the Huawei MediaPad 7 Lite is one of a few tablets that lost much of its appeal after Google launched the Nexus 7. This is a review, not a comparison, but in this case the difference is so obvious, we can’t simply turn a blind eye to...

Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich OS, 1.2GHz Single –Core Cortex A8 processor, 3.15 megapixels camera, Camera Resolution: 2048 x 1536 pixels, Display Resolution: 600 x 1024 pixels, 4100 mAh battery

Portability is definitely the Huawei MediaPad's main selling point and it has enough firepower to rival some of its bigger 10in siblings. The fact that it runs on Honeycomb also makes it an interesting option compared to the 7in Tablets running the...

I liked the Huawei MediaPad 7. Cracked screen aside, the Medipad 7 is well made, fast, has a great screen, and is very portable. With the right accessories, like a good case and a keyboard, it could work OK in an enterprise environment (of course with...
