Huawei MediaPad M1 Review

Score: 61.5 / 100

Huawei MediaPad M1 is a little outdated Android tablet launched back in the year 2014, featuring an exceptional 1600 megahertz Quad-Core processing unit, a 8" display, and two cameras, a 5 MP back side camera and a 1 mega-pixels front-facing camera. We will get a better idea about this tablet device's specifications when we get into more details.

Huawei decided to build this tablet device with a Hisilicon Kirin 910 system chip, packing a high performance Quad-Core processing unit ticking at 1.6 gigahertz and only 1 GB of RAM memory which is a bit disappointing for such a great device. This device comes with an interesting 8 GB internal storage memory and a slot for SD memory cards, which allows the user to store hundreds of games and applications without any problem.

This tablet is sold in a wide range of color options, purple, red, white and gray. The Huawei MediaPad M1 is slim and comfortable, being just 0.31 inches thick. Although this device is only 8.44 inches long and 4.75" wide, it manages to contain a 8" screen. About its design materials, this tablet is majorly made of Aluminium, which gives a high quality finish. Huawei didn't seem to put much effort to reduce weight in this 11.61 ounces tablet.

This tablet has a interesting 8 inches screen with a 1280 x 800 resolution, which makes everything look good. This screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and can detect multiple fingers at the same time.

The Huawei MediaPad M1 provides wi-fi capability (which it can share with other devices acting as a modem or router), LTE (4G) high speed internet connection and also HSPA+ internet connection, which is a bit slower 4G type and the fastest 3G connectivity, supported by HSDPA technologies. This tablet works with a SIM card for GSM carriers.

This tablet has two cameras, a 5 megapixels back side camera and a 1 MP front side camera. It can also capture videos up to 1920x1080 (Full HD). In addition, this portable tablet's camera also counts with geo tagging and auto-focus.

This device also includes a few nice characteristics such as Bluetooth (enables communication with other bluetooth portable tablets, computers and accessories) and GPS, and some sensors likeProximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This device packs a 4800 mAh great Li-Polymer battery, enough to provide the Huawei MediaPad M1 with an extremely long battery life.

The Huawei MediaPad M1 is priced about $ 155, quite high for a device this level. No matter whether you will use it as a work tablet, are looking for a gaming tablet, want it mainly for social networks and internet browsing or you love taking photographs, you will probably be very satisfied with it. Huawei packs this tablet with Quick Start Guide, Warranty card and charger and USB Cable.
