Verdict

The Huawei MediaPad M2 10.0 (3GB + 64GB) is a premium 10.1-inch Android tablet featuring a Kirin 930 octa-core processor and a 1920x1200 IPS LCD display. Its standout characteristics include a sturdy aluminium unibody design, a front-mounted fingerprint sensor, and a quad-speaker system tuned by Harman Kardon for immersive audio. Key pros include the high-quality sound output, generous 64GB storage with microSD expansion, and support for the M-Pen active stylus with 2048 levels of pressure sensitivity. However, main cons involve the device launching with the older Android 5.1 Lollipop software, a display that is less sharp than contemporary rivals, and the lack of fast-charging capabilities for its 6,660mAh battery.
