The Huawei MediaPad M5 lite 256GB 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 849 in the UAE and ₹19,299 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Huawei MediaPad M5 Lite 10.1-inch LCD screen delivers sharp 1920x1200 clarity with a 16:10 aspect ratio, ideal for extended reading and video streaming, though its 60Hz refresh rate feels dated. Powered by the Kirin 659 and Android 8.0 with EMUI 8, it handles light multitasking but stutters under heavy loads. It lacks stylus support, ruling out note-taking or drawing. The 7500mAh battery lasts over two days with moderate use, a rare strength. At 475g, it’s heavy for one-handed use. In UAE at AED 849, it’s value because the screen and battery outperform similarly priced rivals. In India at ₹19299, it’s overpriced—competitors offer newer chips, higher resolutions, and Android 10+ for the same cost. The outdated OS and lack of Google services further limit utility. Buy only if you prioritize screen size and battery life over modern software or performance.
