If you’re in the market for a premium tablet the MediaPad M5 8.4 is an easy-to-recommend alternative to the pricier iPad Mini 4. Great speakers and a bright screen make it ideal for multimedia, while it boasts an excellent design and the freshest version Google’s operating system, Oreo.

87% Huawei MediaPad M5 and M5 Pro review
Source: Android Authority Archive.org version
Pricing for the MediaPad M5 starts at 349 Euros and ranges upwards to 599 Euros depending on size, storage, connectivity, and whether you opt for the Pro or standard versions. As we mentioned previously, when it comes to Android tablets, the amount of options out there are very limited, but the MediaPad M5 line is a very solid offering from Huawei. These are some of the best Android tablets we’ve seen in a while. They’re well designed with gorgeous displays and fantastically loud speakers that make them great for multimedia purposes. They certainly live up to the MediaPad name, and if you’re into turning your tablet into an on-the-go work station, the M5 Pro offers the appropriate peripherals for both work and play.

80% Huawei MediaPad M5 (8.4-inch) review: Genuine iPad Mini competition

There aren't that many great, small Android tablets out there. Huawei's newest MediaPad therefore, is a breath of fresh air in a stagnating market. This might well be the competition iPad mini has been crying for.

Comment

Model:

The tablet industry has been quite stagnant for the past couple of years. There has been very little in the way of movement, particularly with tablets based on Google's Android operating system. However, Huawei announced new MediaPad models at the Mobile World Congress 2018, namely a small 8.4-inch model and a larger 10.8-inch Pro model with a stylus. With its aluminum body, smooth back and curved corners, Huawei’s 8.4-inch MediaPad does not tread new ground for tablets. It feels well-built and is super-light at 316g. Thanks to having an 8.4-inch display and relatively little in the way of screen bezels on the left and right side, Huawei has managed to make the M5 compact enough for single-handed use, it can also easily be slipped into a pocket or bag. The front of the device is dominated by the display, but unlike many of the new phones coming to the market this year, it retained a bezel around it. This is fine on a tablet, since it gives the hands something to grip onto. A fingerprint scanner sits below the display and works superbly; a Huawei logo and front-facing camera sit above the display. The overall design is clean and basic. One of the most pleasing elements of this tablet is its screen. The aspect ratio is unusual: 16:10. With its 2560 x 1600 pixel resolution, the 8.4-inch display is super crisp while offering lovely clean whites, vibrant colors and, considering it is an LCD panel, great contrast.

When users are playing movies, the Huawei ClariVu technology uses intelligent algorithms to adjust unclear frames or drops in contrast ratio to deliver a better viewing experience. Huawei used massive amounts of research data to develop a display that is safe and comfortable for the eyes. Eye Comfort Mode reduces harmful blue light to make it safer and easier to read. And the Huawei MediaPad M5's display automatically adjusts to the color temperature of the surrounding light. Inside this Huawei tablet, users will find an octa-core Kirin 960S, which is essentially a tweaked version of the chip that powered most of Huawei's flagship phones in 2017. The performance is therefore appropriate for a high-end tablet. Each game loaded without any complaining or noticeable delay. The Huawei MediaPad M5 supports Hi-Res audio, which is an industry standard for sound quality. Every facet is captured perfectly, keeping treble sweet and bass anchored for significantly truer, more immersive listening experience. Tuned by the renowned acoustic legend Harman Kardon® Audio, the tablet delivers quality sound with more bass and no distortion. Huawei Listen audio creates a perfect soundscape to produce 3D sound that is richer, more layered, and penetrating, too. Finally, concerning autonomy, it takes only 1.9 hours to fully charge the Huawei MediaPad M5. Its 5,100 mAh (TYP) battery and smart power-saving technology allow users to enjoy 1080p videos for up to 11 hours.

Large smartphones and a few small tablets are available for this display size. Unlike most smartphones, you can see more on the screen, more details and use larger resolutions. Such formats are better for people with defective vision. However, such devices are no longer easy to fit in a pocket, and they are probably not quite light either.
