Huawei MediaPad M6 10.8 is a powerful multimedia device with a large display, four loud speakers and a 7500 mAh battery. It is also HUAWEI’s first tablet. However, the developers found a solution to this problem. We will find out how the novelty behaves in real life.
Display :
The tablet uses an excellent 10.8-inch IPS sensor with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 dots and a density of 280 ppi. This is enough to keep the pixels out of sight. This display is good to read, watch movies or sit on social media.
The viewing angles are maximum. The color and contrast indicators for the IPS matrix are good: Black is displayed in black, not dark gray, as is often the case with inexpensive panels. Auto brightness works precisely and quickly adjusts to the lighting. Medium-quality oleophobic coating: Fingerprints remain on the screen.
There is support for the M-Pen Lite stylus. The pen recognizes 2048 levels of pressure and works for up to 5 months without recharging. The tablet immediately pre-sets several editors for drawing. However, the stylus is not included – it must be purchased separately.
Combined Multimedia:
In MediaPad M6, the Kirin 980 processor is working – the flagship chipset installed in the HUAWEI top devices. He easily copes with everyday tasks such as communicating in social networks and web surfing, and also easily “digs” any games and heavy applications. For example, Fortnite and World of Tanks started with high graphics settings and worked without pps, even during the hottest fights.
Only 4GB of RAM. In 2020, this is not enough, because now such a number of speed can be found even in budget smartphones. However, if you do not get involved in running heavy applications simultaneously, there will be no problems with unloading the software. The internal storage capacity of 64 GB can be expanded using a microSD card.
Sound is one of the main advantages of a tablet. Four speakers from Harman Kardon are installed at once. They sound loud, powerful and pure: There are no hint of wheezing even at the maximum volume level. Watching movies and listening to music is a pleasure. In the apartment you can do without a portable column, only the built-in audio system. Speakers are well located: When MediaPad M6 is in your hands, they do not overlap with your palms.
The tablet runs on Android 10 with the EMUI 10 proprietary interface. The shell is clean and laconic, there are comfortable gestures and a number of useful modes. You can create owner profiles, each with its own set of applications and files. This is convenient if the gadget is used by several people. There is also a child mode. It should be set up by parents to select programs available for the child and to limit the time they use them.
Easy to use :
The fashion for displays with a aspect ratio of 20: 9 or different strangeness of the type of cutouts for frontal cameras has not yet come to the tablets. Perhaps it is for the better. Huawei MediaPad looks like a classic device of its segment: A moderately elongated body and small neat frames, thanks to which fingers do not touch the display during use.
The novelty does not boast compact dimensions, record-low weight or thin case. Still, the big screen, four speakers and a powerful battery dictate their rules. However, holding MediaPad M6 with both hands is easy, and it does not take much space in a bag or backpack.
The tablet is designed for use in horizontal orientation, as the location of buttons and ports indicates. The front panel has a print scanner and can be used as a navigation key. The accuracy and speed of the scanner is worse than the sensors on smartphones: Often you have to apply your finger several times.
It is pleased that the developers returned a 3.5-mm connector, which was refused in MediaPad M5. Common sense has triumphed: Now it is possible to connect corded headsets and quality headphones without problems, good the tablet gives a decent sound.
On the bottom edge there is a magnetic connector for connecting the corporate keyboard. Optional accessory available separately.
