Huawei MediaPad M5 Review - Thurrott.com

Huawei makes two MediaPad M5 models, with 8.4- and 10.8-inch displays, and you won’t be surprised to see that they line up perfectly with Apple’s consumer offerings, the iPad mini and the iPad (2018). I’ve been testing both for over two weeks here at home, using them in place of the iPad mini I normally use. Let’s start with the pricing. After all, this conversation is a non-starter is the MediaPad M5 isn’t competitively priced, given the strength of Apple’s hardware designs and its excellent app and content ecosystems. The 8.4-inch MediaPad M5 costs $320 at Amazon.com, whereas Apple charges $400 for the increasingly out-of-date iPad mini 4. The mini ships with 128 GB of storage, double what’s available on the M5. But you can expand the M5’s storage, whereas doing so on any iPad is impossible. I don’t have a formal way to test battery life on tablets, but the 8.4-inch MediaPad M5 provides 5100 mAh battery while the larger 10.8-inch utilizes a 7500 mAh unit. These are roughly comparable to the batteries in the iPad mini 4 (5,124 mAh) and 2018 iPad (8827 mAh), and Huawei claims up to 11 hours of battery life.

Huawei MediaPad M5 and M5 Pro - Full Review and Benchmarks | Laptop ...

A great laptop under $500 is hard to find — here are the 4 best budget laptops I recommend in 2025 Huawei's been making major moves in laptops (the MateBook X Pro is a favorite of ours), but the company's tablets have gone under the radar. Take, for example, the MediaPad M5 and M5 Pro, Huawei's 8.4- and 10.8-inch media tablets, which offer solid displays and decent performance (for consumer-level tablets). The M5 Pro packs a decent pen and long battery life, but the smaller M5's battery doesn't last as long and its sound can't match its big brother's. So, while the MediaPad M5 Pro is worth checking out -- even with its premium price -- the same can't be said for M5. The Huawei MediaPad M5 and M5 Pro tablets offer solid picture quality with decent detail. Watching the Spider-Man: Far From Home trailer, I saw quite similar color output on the two MediaPads, with both rendering the red of Spidey's suit in strong, accurate tones.

Huawei MediaPad M5 and M5 Pro Review Source: Laptop Mag Archive.org version Huawei has a contender with the M5 Pro, thanks to the tablet's great battery life, nice display and good performance. The MediaPad M5, however, is sunk by its short battery life and comparatively small sound. The biggest factor for many will be the usability and look of Android apps on this device. You may or may not be bothered by the user experience when it comes to Android. I’d recommend finding a store that sells the M5 and take a look for yourself. Overall, this is a solid device when it comes to hardware.

Huawei MediaPad M5 Review: 8.4-inch, 10.8-inch, and M5 Pro | WIRED

But not Huawei. Like Apple, Samsung, and Amazon, the Chinese device maker is one of few still putting some heart (effort) into its tablets. It’s releasing three versions of its new MediaPad M5 tablet—standard 8.4-inch and 10.8-inch sizes, and a special MediaPad M5 Pro with a stylus in the box. The battery should last longer than 10 onscreen hours, or more realistically a few days if you’re a casual user. I mostly used the MediaPad M5 to play a few games, check my email, read the news, and binge-watch The Staircase on Netflix (Did you hear about The Owl Theory yet?). All three MediaPad M5 tablets are about as powerful as a flagship phone from two years ago, which is what you should expect for a $300+ tablet. Each has a 2,560 x 1,600 pixel LCD screen, a Huawei Kirin 960 processor, 4GB RAM, and 64GB of file storage (with a MicroSD slot for extra memory). Both the MediaPad M5 and M5 Pro have a 13-megapixel rear camera with f/2.2 aperture (no flash) and an 8-megapixel selfie cam. I’ve done some limited testing and both cameras perform very adequately, though neither is particularly impressive for any strenuous photo conditions.

Huawei MediaPad M5 8.4 Review: A Premium Android Tablet - Tech Advisor

As was our verdict on the MediaPad M3: the M5 is an above-average tablet which is a good alternative to Samsung’s Galaxy Tab range, and the iPad mini. The iPad mini is available only with 128GB of storage these days. Even so, its £419 price doesn’t seem outrageous given that the equivalent MediaPad M5 costs 449€. But if you’re after a cheaper tablet, the 2018 9.7in iPad starts at £319 for the 32GB model. As mentioned, there’s a nano-SIM slot for LTE so you can pop in a data SIM and get online when out of Wi-Fi range. If you need to, you can even insert a phone SIM (as opposed to data-only) and use the MediaPad like a giant phone. There’s too much bloatware for our liking, but at least you can delete the apps you don’t want. EMUI has its benefits, too. Thanks to some clever tricks for optimising RAM use and saving power, the MediaPad M5 should stay fast even with lots of apps installed and retain its battery power even when sitting idle. That means it’s a struggle to recommend the MediaPad when the iPad has a headphone socket, support for the Apple Pencil and – well – it’s an iPad running iOS.
