The Huawei MediaPad M5 Lite 8 256GB 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 749 in the UAE and ₹16,999 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Huawei MediaPad M5 Lite 8 delivers an 8.0-inch IPS LCD screen with 1920x1200 resolution and 16:10 aspect ratio, offering sharp text and vibrant colors for extended reading or video viewing. Its Octa-core chipset with Cortex-A73 cores handles multitasking smoothly, though it lacks a high refresh rate. Stylus support is absent, limiting precision tasks. The 5100 mAh battery delivers all-day endurance, but the 310g weight makes one-handed use tiring. Android 9 with EMUI 9.0 means no Google services in UAE, restricting app access. In UAE at AED 749, it’s worth it because the screen and battery outperform most rivals in this price bracket despite the OS gap. In India at ₹16999, it’s overpriced — competitors like the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 offer similar screen quality with newer Android and Google support for less. Skip if you need apps or light portability.
