The Huawei MediaPad M5 10 256GB is Huawei Test's 2020 tablet featuring a 10.8 inches, 338.2 cm2 (~76.1% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Kirin 960s (16 nm) chipset. It comes with a 7500 mAh battery. At AED 1,049 in the UAE and ₹23,850 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Huawei MediaPad M5 10 256GB shines with its 10.8-inch IPS LCD display at 2560x1600 resolution, delivering sharp, vibrant visuals without a high refresh rate. Powered by the Kirin 960s and 256GB storage, it handles multitasking and media playback smoothly, though Android 8.0 with EMUI 8 lacks modern updates. Stylus support is included, making it usable for note-taking and light sketching. Its 7500mAh battery lasts all day, but at 498g, it feels heavy for prolonged one-handed use. The lack of Google services in newer regions limits app access. In UAE at AED 1049, it’s worth it because the screen and storage outclass many budget tablets. In India at ₹23850, it’s overpriced—competitors offer newer Android versions, better software support, and lighter builds at similar costs. Buy only if you prioritize screen size and offline media over app ecosystem and modern updates.
