Huawei MediaPad M5 Pro 10.8"
The MediaPad M5 Pro is a tablet that promises a lot, but doesn’t quite deliver on its name. Speaker and button placement is odd, while watching content is hindered due to the screen's outer layer making things fuzzy and apps/software lacking output quality. For creatives, however, the inclusion of the M-Pen stylus at a sensible price point makes it a great buy.

The MediaPad M5 Pro is not a cheap tablet. But it is a lot more affordable than an iPad Pro 9.7, and a chunk cheaper than the Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 too. What's not to like? Well, the screen isn't immediately as impressive as those models, and there's...

The MediaPad M5 Pro looks fantastic and performs fairly well, but it's let down by small details like the shoddy official keyboard and Android's limited productivity options. Still, it's cheaper than most of its comparable rivals, and will keep most...

It took Android and its OEM partners quite some time to figure out how to offer a competitive user experience on tablets. No, it was not Huawei with its MediaPad M5 Pro, but they contributed to the process. Like other models from other OEMs before it,...
