The Huawei MediaPad M5 lite 128GB is Huawei Test's 2020 tablet featuring a 10.1 inches, 295.8 cm2 (~74.9% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Kirin 659 (16 nm) chipset. It comes with a 7500 mAh battery. At AED 699 in the UAE and ₹15,899 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Huawei MediaPad M5 Lite 128GB shines with its 10.1-inch IPS LCD display offering sharp 1920x1200 resolution and wide viewing angles, ideal for long-form reading and video streaming. Its octa-core chipset delivers smooth multitasking for basic apps and light gaming, though it lacks a high refresh rate. Stylus support is absent, limiting creative workflows. The 7500mAh battery lasts over two days with moderate use, a rare strength in this class. At 475g, it feels heavy for one-handed use. Running Android 8.0 with EMUI 8, it misses Google Mobile Services in many regions, restricting app access. In UAE at AED 699, it’s worth it because the screen and battery outperform rivals in this price bracket. In India at ₹15899, it’s overpriced—competitors offer newer Android versions and better software support for similar cost. Buy only if you prioritize screen size and endurance over apps and modern OS features.
