Excellent Tablet (with ICS)

Huawei Media Pad Tablet (17.8 cm (7 inch) display, touchscreen, 5 megapixel camera, WiFi, 3G, Android) (Personal Computers)

Customer Review

Besides the usual suspects like the HTC Flyer, Lenovo A1 and Samsung Galaxy Tab I came in looking for a 7-inch tablet on the Mediapad of Huawei. My requirements were:
- Excellent display
- Liquid operation
- 3G, possible phone devices (via Bluetooth headset)
- Standardized connectors: USB, HDMI, (mini) SD card slot
- No more expensive than 400 euros
- Upgrade to ICS possible

Under the terms is only the Huawei MediaPad left. The display is extremely good, even if you select the lower resolution. The case looks stable. During the operation under Honeycomb was something hakelig, the tablet runs since the ICS update in May buttery soft. The battery life has also improved noticeably with the update, especially in standby. Tip: "Quick Start" function in the settings disable as these continually draws standby on battery.

Some points are also struck me negatively on Mediapad:
- Poor cameras: Mir but no matter - it's good enough for Skype
- Volume control: Even in the lowest level I feel about the overall volume silently through the speakers to be too high, it corresponds to about 50% in my HTC Desire. Is not the end, there may be also an app for that. Had but can solve innately better.
- Placement of the stereo speakers aligned with the upright format: This is a bit unfortunate indeed. Speaker I need a rule in videos which I of course look at the landscape. However, the speakers are both attached to one of the short sides, so I hear in landscape mode only sound from one direction and the stereo effect is gone. That's a shame, because the reproduction quality of the speakers is quite good.
- USB charging: If compared with the store via the power supply at a snail's pace vonstatten. To load the pad completely USB required about 9-10 hours. It also loads significantly slower (10-15% per hour) than in active use energy is consumed (15-30% per hour).

Since you get a lot in this tablet for his money and the negative points or only on the edge bother me personally, the Huawei MediaPad gets me full 5 stars.
