The Huawei MediaPad T5 256GB 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 649 in the UAE and ₹14,750 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Huawei MediaPad T5 256GB delivers a sharp 10.1-inch 1920x1200 LCD panel with no high refresh rate, offering crisp text and media viewing but no motion smoothness. Its Kirin 659 chipset handles basic tasks like web browsing and video streaming without lag, though multitasking stutters under heavy load. No stylus support exists, limiting creative use. The 5100 mAh battery lasts over two days with moderate use, a rare strength. At 460g, it feels heavy for prolonged handheld use. The Android 8.0 with EMUI 8 lacks app updates and Google services in many regions, restricting functionality. In UAE at AED 649, it’s value because the screen and battery outperform rivals at this price. In India at ₹14750, it’s overpriced — competing tablets offer newer Android, better support, and lighter builds for similar cost. Buy only if you need a large screen for media and don’t rely on modern apps or cloud services.
