Description +
The Huawei MediaPad M5 Lite 10 is like its MediaPad M3 Lite 10 predecessor an upper-middleclass tablet. It offers a 7.7 millimeters thin full metal body with two speakers on the top and two speakers on the button. So, in total, the tablet has four speakers. We also get a USB C connector, a standard headphone jack and a microSD card slot. Both cameras have a resolution of 8 megapixels.
Another important feature is its fingerprint sensor which is located underneath the screen. Using that fingerprint reader you can unlock the device easily, but also replace the standard home, back and recent apps buttons using gestures.
The Huawei MediaPad M5 Lite 10 has a 10.1-inch IPS display with a full HD resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels. Like most of its competitors, the screen has an aspect ratio of 16:10. Underneath the touchscreens runs a HiSilicon Kirin 659 octa-core processor together with 3GB of RAM and a 32GB internal storage.
Other hardware features include Wi-Fi 802.11 ac, Bluetooth 4.2 and optional 4G LTE and GPS.
While the MediaPad M5 Lite 10 is not that light with a weight of 475 grams, it houses a very large battery with a capacity of 7500mAh.
M Pen Lite
One of the accessories for the Huawei MediaPad M5 Lite 10 is the M Pen Lite. While it is similar to the standard M Pen of the pricier MediaPad M5 Pro, it supports 2048 levels of pressure sensitivity only. Its more expensive brother has twice as many pressure levels. However, 2048 are fine for almost everybody.
Android 8.0 Oreo & EMUI 8.0
Huawei is shipping the MediaPad M5 Lite 10 with Android 8.0 Oreo. That means it is running the same operating system as all current Huawei tablets. However, I think it is unlikely this device will ever get an update to Android 9.0 Pie. In the past, Huawei has not been that great with timely updates.
On top of Android runs the EMUI in version 8.0. That is the own interface from Huawei. EMUI stands short for Emotion UI. With that interface, Android is customized quite heavily. For example, there is no app drawer anymore. Instead, all apps are installed onto the home screen directly. But don’t worry. In fact, it is quite easy to customize yourself.
