Highway media pad 10. What doesn't touch the screen

What I didn't like

Well, to be honest, I didn’t notice any shortcomings, only the rivet covering the SIM and memory card slot came off

What I liked

There are so many advantages. 1. Huawei Very good company Such characteristics for such a price, but damn 16 GB. 2. I've had it for a year now and I really like it. 3. he is attractive. 4. good interface. 5. good design.

What I didn't like

1. It’s buggy and produces errors.
2. The camera does not justify itself, the photos are only good in the world.
3. You cannot play VK games in Odnoklassniki.

What I liked

1. Thin, light 2. Of course the company is good, easy to use, without any bells and whistles. 3.High-quality sound. 4. Great for chatting on Skype. good microphone, you can communicate without headphones. 5. The battery really lasts for 8 hours of active use.

What I didn't like

Games from Gameloft are bad

What I liked

A very convenient and fast tablet, everything is done to perfection, no backlash, perfectly assembled.

What I didn't like

What I liked

good design, good camera

What I didn't like

Terrible brake. There is no and probably will not be a software update.

What I liked

What I didn't like

1. Terrible brake. Children play the most ordinary games, both loading and graphics are slow
2. Maybe it’s due to reason 1, but the Internet on wifi doesn’t really work
3. There are no normal accessories for sale, no keyboard
4.Camera g...oh, what kind of 8 megapixels are there? When turned on, everything is close, as if digital zoom included
5.On the back panel, the white insert at the top where the camera and connectors are doesn’t look right

What I liked

They fade...

What I didn't like

I’ve been running with him for the second month and have nothing to fight with

What I liked

Price, battery, color quality

What I didn't like

It often freezes, at one time my sensor broke down and I sent it in for repair, they say it can’t be repaired, I don’t know what to do now

What I liked

Great camera FHD

What I didn't like

I bought it today, tomorrow I’ll go to return it, even if it’s a turbo, with 2 gigs of RAM. During opening new page the Internet slows down, the page opens blurry at first. The most unpleasant thing is that when reading pages on the Internet and moving up and down, the content on the screen twitches, it is impossible to focus your eyes, everything is blurred, very unpleasant. Well, yes, not an iPad, but it’s a pity... Shnyaga...

What I liked

Nice design, lightweight, good material housing

What I didn't like

It’s monstrous for everything connected to the Internet - any browser you don’t install - loads pages slowly, as if under torture, with the best connection quality, periodically closes itself, freezes. Using a browser, YouTube, Facebook, etc. is a complete torture.

What I liked

Appearance, build quality, materials. It’s great if you use it to watch movies and listen to music (with headphones, of course) (the name media pad is a hint).

What I didn't like

Constant errors.
-Sometimes it loses connection to the Internet (Wi-Fi). 3G - everything is ok.
- "Freezes"!!!
-It’s impossible to be constantly in touch on Skype...it goes into “sleep” mode and they won’t get through to you (Android may be to blame)

What I liked

The screen is almost Retina (IPad), the specifications are like expensive Samsung, the price is like a calculator.

What I didn't like

Application error messages pop up endlessly. I don’t know what to do with this. It is not possible to switch the keyboard language with one movement; you have to go to the menu. You have to charge it every day in the evenings with active use (Internet) and low screen brightness mode.

Chinese Huawei company loudly announced itself in the tablet market a year ago, releasing a seven-inch tablet Huawei MediaPad. In terms of the ratio of characteristics and cost, this was one of the most attractive offers at the end of 2011 - beginning of 2012. In the fall of 2012, Huawei released its second tablet - now a 10-inch one. His main feature- screen resolution 1920×1200.

To be honest, Huawei was a little late in bringing this tablet to the market. If it had appeared soon after the announcement (which took place in May), the device would have had excellent prospects in the top segment - as one of the first Android tablets with a Full HD screen. But in the end, the Chinese company lost primacy to both ASUS (Asus Transformer Pad Infinity TF700T tablet) and Acer (Acer Iconia Tab A701 tablet), releasing its device on the Russian market only in October, and already in November it appeared (though only in the Western market) another powerful competitor: Google Nexus 10. On the other hand, there are still not many tablets with a Full HD screen on the market, so a product from a Chinese company will definitely not be superfluous.

To understand how Huawei MediaPad 10 FHD stacks up against the competition, let's take a look at our traditional table.

The price for the iPad is taken for the version with a 3G/4G module and 16 GB of flash memory; for Huawei we present the average cost for the maximum possible configuration (3G and 16 GB of flash memory); for Acer Iconia Tab A701 the average price in Russian retail is indicated (according to Yandex.Market) for a model with 3G and 32 GB of flash memory (this is the minimum possible option).

As we can see, the Huawei tablet looks quite decent compared to its competitors, although questions arise, firstly, from the lack of Micro-USB and HDMI, which the other two Android tablets have, and in addition, the dark horse is the HiSilicon K3V2 chip. Firstly, there is information on the Internet about more powerful versions of the same SoC - with a CPU frequency of 1.5 GHz, but in tablets supplied to Russia, the frequency is only 1.2 GHz. Secondly, the true performance of this SoC is still a mystery to us, despite the approximate correspondence in terms of characteristics of the younger modification NVIDIA Tegra 3. But we will definitely check it. In the meantime, here's the full list Huawei specifications MediaPad 10 FHD.

Now let's take a closer look at the tablet.

Equipment

The device arrived to us without a box, only with a charger. So it’s better to check the package immediately before purchasing in the store.

Design

Comparing the design of tablets with the iPad has already become boring, but in in this case You can’t do without it: like Apple, Huawei designers preferred an aluminum body, smoothly beveled edges and a minimum of connectors.

The main difference between the Huawei MediaPad 10 FHD is two speakers (by the way, quite loud) on the back side instead of one and a horizontal orientation (the labels, camera and speakers are located along the wide side).

In addition, the area covered by the plastic insert on the back panel (behind it, apparently, there are communication modules) is much larger than that of the iPad with 3G/4G. On the other hand, the Huawei tablet is half a millimeter thinner and weighs 61 grams less than the Apple iPad.

Perhaps it was the desire to make the device as thin and light as possible that influenced the decision not to install Micro-USB and HDMI ports. But there are slots covered with a lid for a SIM card (in the 3G version of the tablet) and microSD - they are located on the top edge of the device. Nearby is the hole for the built-in microphone.

Both buttons (Power and volume rocker) are located on the right side.

On the left side there is only a headset jack (3.5 mm).

On the bottom edge there is a docking connector for connecting accessories and a charger. It's funny that it's 30-pin - like Apple used to have - but it's not compatible with the charger Apple devices, ASUS and Samsung (they also have similar dock connectors). When will standardization come here too?

Overall, the design of the Huawei MediaPad 10 FHD gives me mixed feelings. It looks like an iPad, but like any imitation, it looks worse than the original. It seems cool that the device is thin and light, but if for this you have to sacrifice the ability to connect flash drives and connect the tablet to an external screen, then I personally am not ready to pay that price. It is clear that Apple has the same shortcomings, but you expect more flexibility and openness from an Android device.

And lastly: build quality. At first glance, it seems good: nothing creaks, the aluminum body looks reliable. But the copy we had suffered from a strange and very serious flaw: after turning off the screen or device, it was not always possible to turn the screen on again. We tried different ways: we connected it to the charger, tried to reboot the tablet by long pressing and holding the power button, but the result was unpredictable: sometimes it helped, sometimes it didn’t. Apparently, the screen is not very well attached to the other components, and this is a flaw in the assembly. We emphasize that such a situation may indicate a defect in a particular specimen. But at the same time, any marriage is a reason to think about the reliability of the entire party.

Screen

As already noted, the screen resolution (Full HD, 1920×1200) is the main advantage and feature of the tablet. Thus, on this moment this is one of four Full HD tablets officially presented at Russian market(we do not count various modifications of these models).

A detailed examination of other screen characteristics using measuring instruments was carried out by the editor of the “Monitors” and “Projectors and TV” sections, Alexey Kudryavtsev. Here is his conclusion.

The tablet's screen is covered with a glass plate with a mirror-smooth surface and, judging by the reflection of bright light sources in it, does not have an anti-glare filter. There is a special oleophobic (grease-repellent) coating on the outer surface of the screen, so fingerprints do not appear as quickly as with regular glass, but are removed more easily.

With manual brightness control, its maximum value was 310 cd/m², and the minimum was 7 cd/m². As a result, at maximum brightness in bright daylight In principle, the tablet can be used, but there is no reserve in terms of brightness, and the absence of an anti-glare filter further worsens the situation with readability in bright light. The minimum brightness will allow you to comfortably work with the tablet even in complete darkness. In low power mode, maximum brightness is limited to 220 cd/m². Eat automatic adjustment brightness by the light sensor (apparently it is located to the left of the peephole front camera). In complete darkness, the auto-brightness function reduces the brightness to 50 cd/m²; when moving to an office illuminated by artificial light, the brightness does not change, and in a very bright environment it increases to 270 cd/m² (it was possible to reach the maximum). In the opposite direction, there is a large hysteresis: when moving to office conditions, the brightness decreases to 150 cd/m², and to 50 cd/m² only in complete darkness. At lower brightness, there is no backlight modulation at all, so there is no backlight flickering.

This tablet uses an IPS matrix, as a result the screen has good viewing angles without inverting shades and without significant color shifts, even with large viewing deviations from perpendicular to the screen. When deviated diagonally, the black field brightens, but not very much and, depending on the direction, acquires a purple tint or remains close to a neutral gray color. When viewed from a perpendicular perspective, the uniformity of the black field is generally good, but close to the edge there is a slight increase in the brightness of the black field in several places. Black-white-black response time is 23.4 ms (13.7 ms on + 9.7 ms off). The transition between halftones 25% and 75% (according to the numerical value of the color) and back takes a total of 35.1 ms.

The contrast is relatively high - 855:1. The gamma curve constructed from 32 points did not reveal a blockage either in the highlights or in the shadows, and the index of the approximating power function is 2.32, which is slightly more than the standard value of 2.2, while the real gamma curve deviates slightly from the power dependence ( there is a slight blockage in the lights):

Color gamut narrower than sRGB:

Apparently, the matrix’s light filters mix the components with each other. The spectra confirm this:

This technique allows you to increase the brightness of the screen with the same energy consumption for backlighting. The color temperature balance is very good - shades of gray have a color temperature close to 6500 K. The deviation from the blackbody spectrum (delta E) is less than 6 units, which is very good for a consumer device (dark areas of the gray scale can be ignored, since there no color balance of great importance, and the measurement error at low brightness is large):


As a summary, let's say the following. The tablet's screen does not have an anti-glare filter and does not boast a large reserve of brightness, which makes working with it somewhat difficult in conditions of bright external light. The color gamut is narrower than sRGB, but the colors are balanced. Overall, average.

The Huawei MediaPad 10 FHD screen recognizes 10 simultaneous touches.

Performance and gaming support

The tablet runs on Huawei's own chip - HiSilicon K3V2. We have already written about the characteristics of this SoC above. The amount of RAM is standard: 1 GB.

So, let's see what results the Huawei MediaPad 10 FHD showed in the benchmarks we traditionally use. We will compare it with the Google Nexus 10, ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity and the fourth generation Apple iPad. But we emphasize that the Huawei tablet at the time of testing had Android 4.0.4 installed, while other Android devices had Android 4.1 (ASUS) and 4.2 (Google). This may affect the results, so direct comparison is not entirely correct.

In Quadrant Standard, the tablet performed worse than the Google Nexus 10 and ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity, scoring only 4228 points. Obviously a loss ASUS tablet is explained by the lower CPU frequency (1.2 GHz instead of 1.7 GHz), and the lag behind the Nexus 10 is due to the older CPU architecture.

In SunSpider, the tablet again did not perform well, although the gap over Tegra 3 is not so great here.

Note: the table shows the best results that the tablets showed over several runs.

Unfortunately, the SuperPi CPU test on the tablet did not work correctly. It would be very interesting to compare the pure processor performance of HiSilicon with its competitors!

In the Geekbench 2 multi-platform benchmark, the MediaPad 10 remained behind all competitors, including the dual-core iPad and Nexus 10.

We tested the performance of the graphics subsystem in NenaMark2 (v2.4) and GLBenchmark 2.5.1. The NenaMark2 result was decent, but significantly lower than that of the Google Nexus 10 (despite the fact that the latter has a higher screen resolution), although higher than that of the ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity.

In GLBechmark 2.5.1, the tablet behaved very strangely, showing fewer frames per second in a scene running in offscreen mode (720p) than in the same scene running in screen resolution, whereas the opposite should be true. It's likely that the benchmark is simply not optimized for this SoC. However, if you still draw some conclusions from the obtained figures, then you will have to agree that the iPad and Google Nexus 10 are again ahead, and the Huawei tablet performs approximately on the same level with the ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity (in some places even ahead of his). However, this is also not bad.

GLBenchmark 2.1 Egypt Classic (C16Z16)35 fps42 fps59 fps35 fps
GLBenchmark 2.1 Egypt Classic (C16Z16 Offscreen)36 fps71 fps122 fps40 fps

So, as we expected, the HiSilicon K3V2 SoC, on which the Huawei MediaPad 10 FHD runs, on average matches the performance of the younger modification NVIDIA Tegra 3 T30L, being slightly inferior in the processor part, and performing at the level of the older Tegra 3 in the GPU part. Thus, Thus, this will be quite enough for both 3D games and Full HD video playback. The performance of the SoC is sufficient even for software playback of Full HD video of not very high bitrates. Although it is clear that if you can use hardware acceleration (this depends on the player and file format), then playback will be smoother and less energy consuming.

But there is one caveat. In the case of games, a lot depends not only on pure performance, but also on how well the game is optimized for a particular SoC. And with this, as you might guess, HiSilicon (and, in particular, the Vivante GPU, which is not used in other top-level SoCs) is not doing well. Therefore, many popular games do not even launch or install on the Huawei MediaPad 10 FHD. So, we were unable to install Modern Combat 3 and 4, N.O.V.A. 3, and Dark Meadow installed, but crashed when I tried to launch it. But they installed fine Need for Speed: Most Wanted (which does not want to install on ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity), Dead Trigger, Shadowgun and Asphalt 7: Heat.

Operating system and applications

Huawei MediaPad 10 FHD runs Google Android 4.0.4. Updates to Android 4.1 have not yet been released, which is very strange, since other tablets with Full HD have already been released for a long time official firmware Jelly Bean.

Perhaps the reason for the delay is that Huawei uses custom firmware on the MediaPad 10 FHD: the OS interface has a number of differences from the “pure” version of Android. First, at the bottom of the screen there is an arrow to collapse the bottom panel, freeing up additional space on the screen. This is very convenient when surfing the web or reading: all the screen space is at your disposal.

Secondly, in the upper right corner there is not a call button full list applications, but a menu for adding widgets. When we click on it we see this picture:

And this decision seems to us not so clear-cut. Simply because a user accustomed to traditional Android will at first constantly stumble over this innovation and automatically point to the upper right corner when he needs to see a list of all applications. Which, in turn, is located on the third screen (that is, to get to it, you need to swipe left twice).

Although it would be more accurate to call this not a list of all applications, but a list of other applications (besides those whose icons are located on the first screen). And this is another inconvenience. Although there is also a certain logic in this decision.

Also, pay attention to the application icons themselves. Most of them are noticeably different from traditional ones: Huawei developers have made them more square. This looks especially ridiculous in the case of the browser icon, which in the original depicted a globe. By the way, we note that there are two browsers here: standard and Chrome (which, as we know, replaced its predecessor only starting with Android 4.1).

As for other pre-installed applications, I would note the presence of social network clients (Facebook, Twitter), an e-reader Foxit Reader, free office suite Kingsoft Office (by the way, one of the best office suites for Android), installation utility third party applications, a utility for sending and receiving media files via DLNA, an application for sending/receiving SMS/MMS messages (but there is no application for making calls) and a 3D game Riptide GP (on Google Play Store it sells for $2). Overall, a very good set that provides everything a tablet buyer needs.

To complete the conversation about software, let's note the modified keyboard.

Although I can’t say that I personally found it more convenient than the standard one.

Autonomous operation

In tests battery life The tablet showed conflicting results, which can again be considered a consequence of the fact that not all software (this also applies to benchmarks) is optimized for this SoC, and therefore does not use resources as economically as we would like. We are talking about GLBenchmark 2.5.1, in the Battery Test of which the tablet worked for about three hours and 40 minutes, which is significantly less than the fourth generation iPad, although slightly more than the Nexus 10 (but do not forget that the Nexus 10 has a significantly higher resolution screen).

But in the duration of playback of a video from YouTube Huawei device surpassed both competitors: 8 hours 40 minutes (with average screen brightness - however, sufficient for comfortable viewing during the day indoors) - this is a very worthy result. True, it’s not entirely correct to compare with the iPad, because its playback took place in the browser, since starting with iOS 6 YouTube app is not among the pre-installed ones, and the result was worse than that of Android competitors, where the pre-installed application was used. But this is Apple's own fault.

At the same time, in reading mode, the Huawei MediaPad 10 FHD showed the same result as the fourth generation iPad, which should, of course, be very flattering for the Chinese manufacturer.

Here are the test results of the autonomous Huawei works MediaPad 10 FHD, Google Nexus 10 and Apple iPad fourth generation, summarized in one table:

Thus, in principle, the battery life of the Huawei MediaPad 10 FHD can be considered strong point devices, but when using specific highly demanding applications (games, media players, etc.), the question arises of optimizing them for specific device, and if this optimization is not in place, the tablet may discharge much faster.

Camera

The tablet is equipped with two cameras: the front (1.3 megapixel) is designed for video communication, and the rear (8 megapixel) is for photography. The resolution of the rear camera is standard for top-end tablets, and it would seem that one can be glad that they did not skimp on this. But the quality of the pictures, alas, overshadows this joy. By the way, we note that the camera settings menu is not very intuitive. In it, in particular, the default photo size is set to 6 megapixels, although it is called 8 megapixels (but the resolution corresponding to 6 megapixels is indicated in brackets). It turns out that you need to uncheck the “Wide Screen” option to get “real” 8 MP.

However, these are minor things compared to the fact that the quality of the pictures themselves is very average. Here is a 100% fragment of a photograph taken during the day, towards evening (when it was already starting to get a little dark). It can be seen that the clarity is very mediocre, and the color reproduction is not entirely correct (in fact, it was much lighter outside). The original photo can be downloaded from the link.

The test for shooting a page with text was difficult for the tablet to pass: the fragment presented below shows that the words and numbers in the table are barely distinguishable.

We were also not pleased with video shooting, although Full HD resolution is supported. The complaints are the same: clarity leaves much to be desired. Sample video (30 seconds, 72.2 MB) can be downloaded.

conclusions

The Huawei MediaPad 10 FHD tablet left us with good impressions, except for the defect with the screen turning off (we'll chalk it up to problems with a specific instance). The tablet is quite productive, has a long battery life (especially if you run a pre-installed application), has an IPS screen with a resolution of 1920×1200, and at the same time costs quite reasonable money - especially the version with the minimum configuration (8 GB of memory and without 3G). Another thing is that I would think ten times before taking a tablet with this amount of flash memory at this screen resolution: keep in mind that many 3D games will weigh 1.5-2 GB, and for them to work correctly they will need to be installed exactly in internal memory, and not to the memory card. But for web surfing, working with mail and documents, viewing photos, etc., this is the best option.

Now let’s list what confused us and kept us from giving unambiguous recommendations for purchasing this device. Firstly, the quality of the screen itself is still slightly lower than that of the third/fourth generation Apple iPad and ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity. Secondly, the HiSilicon K3V2 SoC, although it has performance similar to NVIDIA Tegra 3, is not compatible with all applications, which results in either the inability to install/run the application, or its not entirely optimal operation (inability to fully use hardware resources , wasteful battery consumption). Thirdly, the rear camera of the tablet takes very average pictures (despite being 8 megapixels). And fourthly, the price of the tablet is not so low if you take the 16 GB version with a 3G module. One of the two largest cellular retailers (and the second does not sell Huawei tablets at all) is asking 18,990 rubles for this option, while the Acer Iconia Tab A701 with 32 GB of memory and a 3G module can be bought there for 19,990 rubles. How can this be? I would understand if the situation were the opposite: after all, the Huawei brand is much less attractive than Acer. Apparently Chinese manufacturer I don’t agree with this, since he sets such prices.

In general, we are waiting for the price reduction for Huawei MediaPad 10 FHD - then this model will have a better chance of competing with such serious competitors as top-end tablets from Apple, Acer and ASUS.

This tablet has been on sale for a long time, but despite this, it still has not lost its relevance, so we decided to prepare a review of it.

Equipment

  • Tablet
  • Charger
  • PC cable (also part of the charger)
  • Documentation

As you can see, the kit includes only the essentials.

Appearance, materials, control elements, assembly

Externally, the FHD resembles hundreds of other tablets, especially when viewed from the front. But everything changes if you look at the back. After all, it is almost entirely (except for the white plastic insert) made of silver aluminum, and this is good news. The use of this material has an excellent effect on both the appearance of the device and the tactile sensations. In general, in terms of materials, FHD gets a solid “A”.



Most of the front side is occupied by a ten-inch screen, covered protective glass. Above it are the front camera eye and light sensor.

At the bottom you can see its own connector for the charger, as well as two slots for connecting a docking station in the form of a keyboard.


On the left is a 3.5 mm headphone jack, and on the left is a volume rocker and a power button.



At the top end, under a flap, there are slots for a SIM card and a card. microSD memory H.C.


On the back of the device you can see two stereo speakers, as well as a peephole for the main camera. The speakers have an excellent volume reserve, and they are located slightly above the place where you usually hold the tablet in a horizontal position, so the sound will not be muffled.



There are no complaints about the assembly of the tablet; all parts fit tightly together, there are no gaps or backlashes.

Dimensions

This tablet is a typical representative of ten-inch devices, both in thickness and weight. It is comfortable to hold with two hands, but not for long.

  • Huawei MediaPad 10 FHD- 258x176x9 mm, weight 580 grams
  • Asus MeMO Pad FHD 10- 264.6x182.4x9.5 mm, weight 580 grams
  • Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 - 243x176x8 mm, weight 512 grams


Screen

FHD screen diagonal -10.1 inches, resolution -1200x1920 pixels, matrix type - IPS, the screen is covered with protective glass, multi-touch is supported up to ten simultaneous touches, there is an oleophobic coating.

The display has excellent viewing angles, with only slight image fade when tilted away.

The screen left behind only positive impressions. Bright rich picture, natural colors and high resolution - what else do you need for a tablet?

By the way, the MediaPad 10 FHD has an excellent feature for hiding the on-screen buttons. Just click on the arrow in the center of the bottom panel and they will disappear. And a swipe from the bottom edge turns them on again.



operating system

The tablet works under Android control 4.1.2 s branded shell from Huawei – Emotion UI.

The shell uses its own launcher with support third party themes registration Traditionally, Huawei uses a single environment for the desktop and application menu, that is, all programs are located on the desktops, and from there they can be quickly removed. Among other things, Emotion UI has several widgets of its own.




The status bar has also been changed. Huawei placed all the switches in a row, but for some reason removed the separate brightness adjustment slider.


Almost everything in Emotion UI has been replaced standard applications, starting from the clock and ending with the file manager.







Overall, the shell looks nice and gives the tablet its own personality.

Performance

The tablet is built on the basis of its own quad-core HiSilicon K3V2 processor operating at a frequency of 1.2 GHz, video accelerator - Immersion.16, RAM -1.5 GB, internal storage capacity varies depending on the model (from 8 to 32 GB), supported memory cards up to 64 GB inclusive.






In general, this version of the chipset is already about a year old, and it can even be called outdated. However, the tablet performs almost all everyday tasks quite quickly. I only had complaints about scrolling through desktops (which is surprising, because the same Mate did an excellent job with this task).

With games, too, not everything is as smooth as we would like. If we take modern Asphalt 8, then the game itself does not allow us to select graphics settings higher than “low”, and the new Riptide GP is simply not available in the market. Of course, you can go to w3bsit3-dns.com and download everything yourself, but we’re talking about ordinary users, and for them the MediaPad 10 FHD will not be the best option.

Autonomous operation

The tablet uses a non-removable battery with a capacity of 6600 mAh.

In reading mode (30% brightness, airplane mode on), the tablet charge lasted for 11 hours.



Watching HD video at maximum brightness drained the device in 7 hours.



Overall, these are good indicators. For everyday use, you'll likely charge the device once a week.

Multimedia and reading

The tablet screen is perfect for reading (thanks to high resolution), and for watching videos. Traditionally for Huawei, the MediaPad 10 FHD has support for most third-party video codecs.

Camera

The tablet uses an 8 MP main camera and a 1.3 MP front camera. Below you can independently evaluate the pictures and videos taken with the main camera.

The front one, by the way, supports video calls in Skype. The image quality is on par with other tablets.

Wireless interfaces

Mobile network – the tablet works in cellular networks 2G (GSM/GPRS/EDGE, 850/900/1800/1900 MHz) and 3G (900/2100 MHz). There is a separate version with support for our LTE frequencies. You can send SMS from your tablet, but you cannot make calls.

Wi-Fi (b/g/n)- there are no complaints about the operation of the module. In the settings you can enable “distribution” of mobile Internet from using Wi-Fi, and also use file transfer using Wi-Fi Direct.

Bluetooth 4.0- all popular profiles are supported, including A2DP.

GPS- cold start takes one and a half minutes.

Dock station

There are separate versions of the tablet that come with a docking station that turns it into a full-fledged laptop. The idea was clearly taken from the Asus Transformer line, but Huawei decided not to provide the keyboard with a separate battery.


Conclusion

The younger version of the tablet (8 GB Wi-Fi) is now sold for 13 thousand rubles, the older version (32 GB Wi-Fi + LTE) will cost you 16 thousand rubles. The difference in price is not that big, so I immediately recommend paying attention to the older model.

For this money you get an excellent tablet in an aluminum case with good screen and good battery life. The only drawback of the device is its own processor, which causes some problems with games.

Huawei MediaPad 10 FHD has been on sale in retail for a little less than a year, but during this time it has not lost its relevance.

The main competitor of this tablet is Asus MemoPad FHD10. It also has an excellent matrix with FullHD resolution and good time autonomous work. Textured plastic is used as materials. The Wi-Fi only version will cost you 13 thousand, and for 3G+LTE support you will have to pay about 19 thousand rubles.


The choice between these two tablets is very difficult: Huawei has better materials and more low price for 3G support, the advantages of Asus in a more famous brand, as well as better support games (especially in the 3G/LTE version, because it uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon APQ8064 processor).

There is no arguing that tablets are gradually going out of fashion. This is not surprising. After all, if some ten years ago the great and terrible Steve Jobs said that a smartphone display cannot be larger than 3.8", because if you use a larger size, all users’ eyes will burst and their ears will curl into tubes, but now the size is 5, 5" is considered tiny (we are talking exclusively about smartphone displays), and give users 6 or even 7 inches, especially considering what manufacturers have learned to do frameless smartphones. And 6-7 inches is actually a tablet, so many users try not to multiply entities once again, so they refuse tablets.

Nevertheless, the tablet market does exist, and the most popular, as far as I understand, are tablets with a diagonal of around 10 inches - that is, large tablets.

And this is not surprising. Even on a six-inch smartphone screen it is inconvenient to watch movies, surf the Internet, play toys - and so on and so forth. Therefore, I and a lot of other users are not giving up the tablet and are not going to give up.

I had different tablets: from Samsung, Sony, ASUS and Acer. For a long time I used a tablet, which I really liked for its well-designed and convenient built-in stand, but I had complaints about its performance (there was a noticeable lack of RAM, the tablet periodically slowed down noticeably, and sometimes overheated and slowed down), the settings there were very poor, and he had a lot of glitches. In the end, the tablet’s screen cracked and the power button began to become very fiddly (you have to press it several times), so I decided that it was time to take a closer look at some new tablet.

So, Huawei MediaPad M5 is a 10-inch tablet running Android 8.1.

There is also a version with 32 GB of memory and without LTE, and there is also a version of the Huawei MediaPad M5 Pro - it has a stylus and can be equipped with a detachable keyboard. And there's more Lite version, which has simpler characteristics and the button is located below the display, and not on the side, as here.

Contents of delivery

A dazzling white box with the model name, the Huawei logo and the logo of Harman Kardon, which participated in setting up the tablet's speakers.

Contents: tablet, fast charging adapter (9V/2A), USB cable- Type-C, adapter Type-C - 3.5 mm audio jack, tool for removing insert for SIM card and memory card, user manual, warranty card.

Appearance and features

A fairly typical design for a tablet, but it looks quite stylish and elegant. There is exactly the same universal navigation button as the one, and, of course, standard on-screen buttons are also supported, which, as usual with Huawei, can be customized. A fingerprint scanner is built into the navigation button.

The frames around the display are about a centimeter thick, and they shouldn’t be any thinner, because it will be inconvenient to use due to false positives. The front side is protected by 2.5D tempered glass. The edges of the glass are slightly rounded.

On the right side there is a volume rocker, a power button, an insert for a SIM card and a memory card, and a USB-C port.

The back cover is metal. There are slots for four stereo speakers at the top and bottom. The slots are on the beveled ends, so they should not be blocked, even when the tablet lies flat on the table.

The camera eye protrudes about a couple of millimeters. Some journalists blame the developers for this, but I don’t understand why this interferes: when the tablet is on the table, it doesn’t wobble when you press the screen, and this is the most important thing.

Also on back cover There is a group of contacts for a snap-on keyboard, which can be purchased separately.

The tablet is not heavy (although you can’t call it very light), and it fits well in your hands. The materials and finishing are very high quality.

I’m very pleased with the presence of a touch-sensitive universal button - this saves an extra swipe across the screen to call up the on-screen menu.

It’s not very convenient to use a tablet without a stand case, especially if you’re going to watch movies on it, so I immediately purchased a standard magnetic case, made like Apple’s famous iPad case. (Eplov's, let's be honest, is much more elegant and more convenient to use.)

Tablet in a closed case.

One stand option.

Second stand option.

By the way, there are a lot of similar cases for this tablet with a magnetized wireless keyboard, but I don’t need a keyboard for the tablet, so I didn’t buy it.

Display

Display 10.8", 280 PPI, supports up to 10 simultaneous touches. IPS matrix with very good viewing angles. With strong vertical-horizontal deviations, the white color becomes grayish.

The picture is very clear, the colors are bright, rich and not “acidic”. There is an oleophobic coating and an anti-glare filter. On straight lines sun rays the image is distinguishable, but overall slightly worse than that of the Huawei P20 Pro smartphone. But you can use it.

It also provides color temperature settings and two color modes - “bright” and “normal”. I put “regular”, I like it better.

Device operation

The standard shell from Huawei is EMUI 8.0. The same is installed on smartphones from this manufacturer.

Main desktop.

Second desktop.

Third desktop.

Region quick settings- it is being edited.

Tools.

Lock screen. Huawei cannot disable it in the usual way, but if you open the developer menu (8 clicks on “Build number” in the “About phone” section), then the lock screen turns off without problems.

I tested the performance via wireless communication. The Wi-Fi speed was clearly lower than expected - usually around 50-60 megabits on this network.

Speed mobile Internet was also lower, especially for downloading - usually for this provider it’s about 10-12 megabits.

Audio

The sound quality of the built-in speakers is simply amazing. When I read about the cooperation between Huawei and Harman Kardon, I thought that this was all just marketing ploys. But no: the built-in speakers provide powerful sound (as much as possible), quite volumetric, and there’s even some bass, which is more than surprising. My speakers also seem to be advanced, but they weren’t even close to the sound of this tablet. I'm just impressed.

Sennheiser CX 2.00G in-ear headphones are not bad: the sound is quite clear, the highs are good, there is a hint of bass, but the volume is insufficient. The volume is also not enough: even at the maximum level, the volume is so-so - clearly insufficient to listen to audio in a noisy environment.

Hybrid headphones with my settings are good: excellent volume, clear highs, good (for earbuds) bass.

Over-ear headphones Audio-Technica ATH-M50x - not bad: the sound is a little muffled, the highs are not enough, the bass is not deep enough.

It is, of course, understandable that tablets are used extremely rarely for listening to high-quality music, so the sound here is quite good for a tablet, but that’s about it.

But we were pleased with the speakers, and this is the most important thing.

Video

With the video, I was only interested in one question: how does this tablet reproduce 4K resolution. As it turned out, it reproduces well - smoothly, without any jerks or delays.

Games

The platform is powerful, I expected that there would be no problems with 3D games - and so it turned out.

Tanks maintained 60 fps in all situations maximum settings.

Car and motorcycle simulators also worked smoothly and without brakes at maximum settings.

Settings

I was pleased with the settings. In contrast to smartphones from this manufacturer, the settings were greatly reduced - in fact, there was really nothing there.

Right here standard settings EMUI shell with all the features.

Camera

Standard Huawei camera interface with slightly reduced capabilities. (There is no “artificial intelligence” - and to hell with it, really.)

Examples of pictures (all are clickable, the originals open).

Indoors, in low light, focus is achieved more or less well, but it is very noisy even at ISO 320.

In good lighting it takes tolerable pictures - but that’s all. The white balance is more or less correct, but the pictures are dull and lacking in clarity. However, I don’t really understand why else you need a camera in a tablet, other than to photograph the opening hours of some establishment.

System data and performance

CPU-Z data.

Performance according to AnTuTu. For comparison, there are about 190 parrots.

The tablet is fast, I had no complaints about its reaction speed. But there were a lot of complaints, although the platform seems to be quite powerful. But there was not enough memory, and due to overheating in “heavy” games, the tablet could noticeably slow down. This has never appeared here.

Battery life

Tablet supports fast charging and from the original adapter it charges quickly at 9V/2A, full time Charging from zero takes two hours and nineteen minutes - this is very fast for a battery of this capacity.

When testing autonomy, all energy saving tools were disabled: tested at maximum performance.

Internet. The brightness is set to a comfortable 60%, wireless networks are turned on, and the page in the browser is refreshed every 30 seconds. 8 hours 13 minutes.

Video. Wireless communications are disabled, the brightness is set to level 10 (15 in total) of the MK Player, and a video of the series is playing in a loop. 9 hours 23 minutes.

A game. Wireless communications are disabled, the brightness is set to a comfortable 60%, Asphalt 8 is playing. 4 hours 5 minutes.

Synthetic test. At a comfortable screen brightness and with wireless communications turned on, PCMark conducted a test of mixed modes: surfing, photo processing, video, reading, and so on - that is, emulation of a good smartphone boot using various standard actions. It turned out to be 7 hours 12 minutes - quite normal.

In general, battery life in tests was approximately in line with my expectations. There were no obvious failures or any records. The battery capacity is quite enough for, for example, a 10-hour flight: watching videos, playing games, and so on. With my normal use - a few games, surfing, one episode of a TV series - the charge lasts for about five days.

Observations during operation and conclusions

The main thing that interested me in the process of testing the daily use of the device was the stability of operation and the absence of overheating. Everything is fine here. No freezes, spontaneous overloads or application stops - everything worked very stably. Overheating was never observed (and we had problems with this), and just a slight heating was not observed even during stress tests of the tablet.

The fingerprint scanner worked very quickly and correctly - exactly the same as in my . The scanner is not particularly relevant for a tablet, but still.

Like Huawei smartphones, when connected to a docking station, the tablet goes into a special desktop mode, reminiscent of a stripped-down Windows: there you can work with office applications, use a browser and so on. In principle for simple tasks it works as a laptop replacement. And if you consider that you can still expand the memory by 128 GB, you can really use it.

The screen sensitivity is good, but tablets have problems with this. I have a standard test for sensor sensitivity - the game Plants vs Zombies 2: it immediately shows if the sensitivity is insufficient. Everything is fine here.

The sound quality in the headphones is quite sufficient for watching movies. What else is needed here? In addition, the tablet supports the aptX profile, so wireless sound quality is very decent.

In reviews, authors usually like to blame the fact that there is no audio jack, but I’ll tell you this: I don’t care about that. I only use headphones when I’m watching a TV series at night, so I just plugged an adapter from the audio jack to USB-C into the headphones - and forgot to think about it at all, I don’t care at all.

There is a full-fledged telephone module here, that is, the tablet can be used as a regular phone (the most convenient way, of course, is to use wireless headset).

I really liked this tablet - it's just what I need. It performs all my usual tasks perfectly, and the stand case is very convenient to use. The tablet has only one formal drawback: a very mediocre camera, but considering that I don’t use the camera in the tablet at all, this is not a drawback for me personally. So it's a cool tablet, that's what I tell you.

Upd: I found and ordered a much more convenient case for it: you can also change the orientation of the tablet there. Manufacturer - ELTD.

Chinese electronics giant Huawei releases quite regularly mobile devices, capable of equal characteristics to compete with. The company made itself known very loudly in 2012, after it released the Huawei MediaPad 10 Android tablet - with a Full HD display, a 4-core processor and 2 gigabytes of RAM. What can I say if even in 2016 these parameters are relevant.

The characteristics of the device are not inferior to even newer models

Unfortunately, the debut was a little blurred due to a delay in the official release, but not every budget tablet can compare with it. Several modifications have been released, we will carry out Huawei review MediaPad 10 FHD.

Contents of delivery

Supplied included Charger, a cable for connecting to a computer, and it came in the form of an adapter from USB to a proprietary 30-pin connector, as well as accompanying documentation, including instructions and a warranty card.

Design

The tablet is practically no different appearance from others. Most of the front panel is occupied touch screen with Corning Gorilla Glass protection. The camera lens is visible on the top rim in the middle. Physical buttons are missing.

The back panel is made of aluminum. In the middle there is the inscription Huawei, and at the bottom there are logos of Google and various certificates. At the top there are two stereo speakers. At the top in the middle is a camera with flash.

If you take the tablet with the screen facing you, the on/off and screen lock button, as well as the volume rocker, will be located on the left. On the right you will see a headphone jack. There are 3 sockets at the bottom: two on the sides for connecting a docking station, and one in the middle for charging and additional accessories.

On the top edge there are connectors for connecting a SIM card and a flash drive. To gain access to them, you need to pry off the plug with something sharp. The build quality is at an excellent level, nothing creaks or bends. Still, the body is aluminum, which is a big plus. Thanks to this, it was also possible to achieve a small thickness. Holding the tablet in your hands is very comfortable; it does not slip or fall out.

Screen

One of the biggest strengths of the Huawei MediaPad 10 FHD is its display. It has a Full HD resolution of 1920×1200 pixels, a pixel density of 224 ppi, a contrast ratio of 1000:1 and maximum level brightness 310 cd/m2. It is protected from scratches and damage by Corning Gorilla Glass, and from smudges and fingerprints by an oleophobic coating. The picture looks great, the colors are reproduced quite accurately, and there is no graininess. The tablet can also be used outdoors; there is enough brightness for this, but, unfortunately, the lack of an anti-glare filter forces you to look for shade in bright sunshine. Adjusting the backlight level allows you to use the tablet even in pitch darkness. Viewing without color distortion is possible at an angle of 178 degrees. The sensor recognizes 10 simultaneous touches and responds to them almost instantly. In a word, the screen leaves a very pleasant impression.

Performance

The tablet has a quad-core HiSilicon K3V2 processor with an operating frequency of 1.2 or 1.4 gigahertz. Random access memory 1 or 2 gigabytes. The device has a proprietary chipset. Due to the fact that some applications are not fully optimized, poor performance may occur. In general, the device works quickly, without delays. Not too demanding games run at maximum settings. Full HD video plays smoothly and without jerking when hardware acceleration is enabled. The case does not heat up. In terms of power, it is almost comparable to its closest competitors and many of the latest budget models.

Multimedia capabilities

The tablet, like most Chinese devices, has factory support for a large number of audio and video formats and codecs. You can standard means view or listen to almost any file. But it is better, of course, to install an external player. This is to ensure that you don’t run into a problem when the tablet doesn’t understand the format. Two speakers play high quality sound and have sufficient volume. With headphones you can fully enjoy stereo sound.

Battery and operating time

The 6600 mAh battery provides excellent battery life. In video viewing mode with the radio modules turned off and the backlight dimmed, the tablet will discharge in about 10 hours. When surfing via Wi-Fi - in about 8. And if you just read a book at brightness in offline mode, you will need to connect to an outlet in about 11 hours. The game will drain the battery in 3.5–4 hours.

This is a very good indicator, and if you do not load the tablet to the maximum, charging will be enough for a full working day. Please note that the processor is somewhat non-standard, and if the applications used are not fully adapted to it, the discharge will happen much faster.

Camera

The tablet is equipped with two cameras. The main one has a resolution of 8 megapixels, is equipped with a flash and autofocus. Despite a fairly decent matrix, the photo quality is very mediocre. More or less good images are obtained in good sunlight. If it starts to get a little dark, noise appears and the picture comes out blurry. Autofocus does not always work well when photographing text.

The 1.3 MP front camera is no different from other similar ones and is designed for communication via Skype or other instant messengers. Some may be disappointed by this component, but few people use a 10-inch tablet for regular photography. Perhaps as a backup camera when you need to photograph something very urgently.

Operating system and programs

The tablet runs on Android 4.1.2 and has a proprietary Emotion UI interface. It is somewhat different from pure Android. The main difference is that all programs are initially located on several desktops, from where they can be easily removed. In addition, you can use a special arrow to hide the menu and notification panel. The firmware has its own standard programs, including gallery, weather forecast, file manager and a note-taking app.

It is very convenient to work with the device; all menu items are literally at hand. By using Google Play Market functionality can be significantly expanded by installing third-party applications.

Competitors

The main competitors of Huawei MediaPad 10 FHD are Google Nexus 10, Acer Iconia Tab A701 and fourth generation iPad. iPad works on another operating system and has a set of ports characteristic of Apple technology. It would also be incorrect to compare its performance only based on technical data, since iOS is slightly better optimized than Android. If we take products from Google and Acer, they are all approximately at the same level in terms of processor power, screen quality and battery life.

Advantages and disadvantages

Bringing the review of Huawei MediaPad 10 FHD to completion, let's highlight the positive and negative features.

Pros:

  • Excellent, high quality screen.
  • Clear sound.
  • Excellent performance.
  • Long battery life.
  • Metal body.

Minuses:

  • Own processor, which may cause problems with software adaptation.
  • Original charging connector.
  • The quality of the camera is mediocre, despite good physical performance.

Conclusion

Considering that the Huawei MediaPad 10 FHD is already 5 years old, thanks to its top-end characteristics at the time, it remains relevant. The tablet can be easily used for activities such as watching videos, reading books and searching the Internet. The battery life will allow you not to charge the device all day.
