The Huawei MediaPad T5 128GB is Huawei Test's 2020 tablet featuring a 10.1 inches, 295.8 cm2 (~74.2% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Kirin 659 (16 nm) chipset. It comes with a 5100 mAh battery. At AED 499 in the UAE and ₹11,350 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Huawei MediaPad T5 128GB delivers a sharp 10.1-inch 1920x1200 IPS display with 16:10 aspect ratio and 224 ppi, offering clear text and vibrant colors for extended reading or video streaming. Its Kirin 659 chip handles light multitasking but stutters under heavy loads, and the 5100 mAh battery lasts all day with moderate use. No stylus support exists, and Android 8.0 with EMUI 8 lacks updates, limiting app compatibility. At 460g, it’s heavy for one-handed use. In UAE at AED 499, it’s value because the screen and storage outperform rivals in this price bracket. In India at ₹11350, it’s overpriced — competitors like the Lenovo Tab M10 offer newer Android, better speakers, and similar screen size for less. The T5’s appeal is its large display and local storage for offline media, but outdated software and no stylus make it a niche pick. Avoid if you need modern apps or portability.
