Reviews for the Huawei MediaPad M1 8.0

83% Huawei MediaPad M1 8.0 Tablet Review | Notebookcheck
Couch potato. The MediaPad M1 8.0 ships with a fast Kirin 910 CPU, a decent display and great battery runtimes - but while its stamina may be great, both its slightly outdated version of Android and some outdoor usability issues are disappointing. However, for less than 200 Euros (~$263), it is still a good offer.
