The Huawei MediaPad M5 Lite 8 128GB is Huawei Test's 2020 tablet featuring a 8.0 inches, 185.6 cm2 (~74.4% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Kirin 710 (12 nm) chipset. It comes with a 5100 mAh battery. At AED 599 in the UAE and ₹13,599 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Huawei MediaPad M5 Lite 8 delivers an 8-inch IPS LCD screen with 1920x1200 resolution and 16:10 aspect ratio, offering sharp text and vibrant colors for reading and video, though it lacks a high refresh rate. Powered by the Kirin 710, it handles light multitasking and media playback without lag, but struggles with demanding apps. It supports Huawei M-Pencil (sold separately), making it usable for note-taking, though the stylus adds cost. Its 5100mAh battery lasts over two days with moderate use, but the 310g weight feels bulky for one-handed use. Android 9 with EMUI 9.0 lacks Google services in many regions, limiting app access. In UAE at AED 599, it’s worth it because the screen and battery outperform similarly priced rivals. In India at ₹13599, it’s overpriced—competitors offer newer chips, better software, and Google support at the same cost.
