Huawei MediaPad M5 tablets

Huawei has just announced three new tablets at the MWC 2018 — the MediaPad M5 series. There are three variants in two sizes, 8.4-inches and 10.8-inches. The Pro version fronts 10.8-inches but adds support for an active M-Pen stylus.

The tablets feature a 16:10 display aspect ratio with a resolution of 2569 x 1600, topped by a 2.5D glass. All three have a metal unibody build with reinforced edges designed to protect the display. They’re all powered by Kirin 960 processors with 4GB of RAM, and up to 128GB of storage. The tablets also have the same cameras — 13MP rear sensor with f/2.2 lens and AF; and 8MP front camera with f/2.2 lens. There are no flashes on either cameras.

The smallest of the three is the MediaPad M5 8. It comes with an 8.4-inch 2k display with a pixel density of 359ppi. It comes with dual stereo speakers, a 5,100 mAh battery, and an “Eye Comfort Mode” that reduces blue light to minimize eye strain.

The MediaPad M5 10 comes with a 10.8-inch display. Because of the larger screen, its pixel density drops to 280ppi. The tablet has quad stereo speakers, and a larger 7,500mAh battery.

The third tablet is the MediaPad M5 Pro. The tablet also comes with a 10.5-inch display and a pixel density of 280ppi. It also has quad stereo speakers and a 7,500 mAh battery. The main difference with the last tablet is that this one has support for an M-Pen stylus. Its screen has a 4096-layer pressure sensitivity for sketching and taking down notes. It also has an optional keyboard accessory.

The MediaPad M5 series will be available sometime in the second or third quarter of 2018.
