Reviews for the Huawei MediaPad M3 Lite
The boombox among its brethren Huawei has equipped its MediaPad M3 Lite with a total of four speakers in order to produce a vivid and powerful soundscape. That said, at a first glance the device is a typical mid-range tablet with a few tricks up its sleeves.

For the price, the Huawei MediaPad M3 Lite 10 is a tablet worth considering with a few caveats. In combination with EMUI 5.1, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 435 CPU and 3GB of flash memory make for a tablet that’s responsive, even after extended periods of use. It’s front-facing camera has a higher megapixel count than many others in the sub-$300 range, which makes this a good device for Skyping with family over a long distance. The speakers and beautiful IPS LCD screen also make consuming content easy to enjoy.

For $250, the Huawei MediaPad Lite 10 is a sleek tablet with a big, crisp screen and booming speakers at a reasonable price. Unfortunately, it's just not reasonable enough to compete with the Amazon Fire HD 10, which is available for $100 less and offers the same performance. It's also uncomfortably close in price to the $329 Apple iPad, which offers a faster processor, a sharper screen, and access to Apple's App Store, which still has an advantage over Android when it comes to quality tablet apps. So unless you absolutely need access to Google Play, you're better off paying a lot less for the Fire HD 10 or a bit more for the iPad.

Although the 10-inch Huawei M3 Lite cuts a stylish frame, it's not just about looks. The tablet packs impressive battery life and a crisp display, although it's no benchmark speed demon.

I've always been a fan of using tablets for consumption tasks. Historically, I've used an iPad for this, but iPads are getting really expensive, given that Apple keeps adding 'pro' features. Indeed, it seems that the era of consumption tablets is behind us, so I found the MediaPad M3 Lite to be refreshing.

Comment
Model:
The Huawei MediaPad M3 Lite is a tablet equipped with a total of four speakers in order to produce a vivid and powerful soundscape. As far as Huawei tablets go, the MediaPad M3 series is top of the line. Technically, that is, since the Huawei MediaPad M3 Lite 10.0 is more like a stripped-down mid-range tablet. It is available in two different versions, Wi-Fi only and LTE. With its standard looks, the MediaPad M3 Lite is far from causing a design revolution. This is also true in terms of color, as the tablet comes either in a mix of black and grey (front and back) or entirely in white. Both models are encircled by a silver metal frame. With 32GB of storage and 3GB of RAM, the MediaPad M3 Lite 10.0 is well equipped for today’s needs. The storage can be upgraded via a microSD card, which is inserted together with the SIM card on a combined SIM/SD-card tray. The processor of the tablet is Qualcomm’s lower mid-range 1.4 GHz octa-core Snapdragon 435 SoC. Performance is certainly adequate for everyday use. The MediaPad M3 Lite’s 16:10 1920x1200 display is slightly higher and not as wide as a 16:9 display, which makes it better suited for office work or browsing the web and less suitable for watching movies. At only 413 nits, the average brightness is somewhere between mid and low-range. The MediaPad M3 Lite’s rear-facing main and front-facing secondary camera with autofocus, both with 8MP, are impressive.
Huawei has installed its so-called “Emotion UI”, version 5.1, on top of Android 7.0. Most modifications are in the design, and, in general, they are rather subtle when compared to pure vanilla Android 7.0. A few updated logos here and there or the ability to select from various available themes, but also improved SmartCover detection, a quick access menu on the left side, and the ability to power the device on or off on a schedule. When multitasking, apps can be placed side by side, which makes sense on a display as large as this. By and large, users familiar with Android will feel right at home. The tablet’s low power consumption is another big plus. In standby, it barely needs any power, and it needs less power than most of its competitors when idle. With only 6.33W under maximum load, it was the most power efficient of the bunch in this load scenario. To further improve power consumption, an energy-saver mode can be enabled on demand, and the display resolution can be lowered as well. The MediaPad M3 Lite 10 is equipped with an 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi chip. It is also equipped with a Cat.4 LTE modem with a maximum speed of up to 150 Mbit/s receiving and 50 Mbit/s transmitting data.

This is a standard display format for tablet computers or small convertibles. You see more on the screen than on a smartphone but you can't use big resolutions well. On the other hand, mobility is not a problem.
