What we like about Huawei Mediapad T5 WiFi (2GB + 16GB)

  • Excellent value for money and affordable pricing
  • Sharp and clear 10.1-inch 1080P Full HD display
  • High-quality dual stereo speakers with immersive sound
  • Premium-feeling, lightweight, and slim metal body design
  • Good performance for streaming (Netflix, YouTube) and light gaming
  • Includes a dedicated Kids Corner with parental controls
  • Responsive touch screen and easy setup process

What we don't like about Huawei Mediapad T5 WiFi (2GB + 16GB)

  • Extremely slow charging speeds (5V/1A charger)
  • Limited internal storage (system files take up significant space)
  • Performance struggles with heavy gaming and multitasking (especially the 2GB RAM model)
  • Outdated Micro-USB port instead of USB-C
  • Stuck on older Android versions (Android 8.0) with limited future updates
  • Cameras perform poorly, especially in low-light conditions
  • Lack of high-end features like a fingerprint scanner or HDMI port

Verdict

The Huawei MediaPad T5 is a sleek, 460g tablet featuring a 10.1-inch IPS Full HD display with a 1920 x 1200 resolution and a 16:10 aspect ratio. It is powered by a Kirin 659 octa-core processor and includes 2GB of RAM with 16GB of internal storage, which can be expanded by up to 256GB via a microSD card. Running on Android 8.0 with EMUI 8.0, its main pros include a premium symmetrical metal body, immersive dual stereo speakers with Histen audio technology, and a dedicated 'Children's Corner' with eye-comfort modes. However, notable cons include limited multi-tasking performance due to the low 2GB RAM, modest camera quality (5MP rear/2MP front), a slow-charging 5100mAh battery, and the use of an outdated micro-USB port.
