HUAWEI MediaPad M2 10.0 Tablet (Silver) 10 inch, M2-A01w

This is a great piece of kit it has a clear display, fantastic sound and is fast in use. Setup was easy after the fingerprint recognition was initialized updated itself, transferred stuff off old tablet and off you go. Having an huawei phone the screen interface was familiar but may be changed. Battery life seems to be around claimed tImes. One minor grumble it is very slippery to hold without a case a bit of textured back would help.

Let's start with a breakdown. Media consumption - 5/5 Productivity - 3/5 Browsing - 3/5 Good: Amazing sound Good display Good battery life Bad: Quality Control CPU on the slow side Far too little storage It's the only tablet i found that concentrated so much on audio. If you want to use it to watch films/tv it really is incredible. Good display and amazing sound. Wife has to keep the volume at about 60-70% otherwise it's too loud, and this is during cooking so in a fairly noisy environment. Battery life is also great with no unexpected drain. However, quality control has let it down for me. First one had some spots on the display. Second looks good, but gets stuck while rebooting and can bootloop for good 10 minutes before actually booting up. Third one, well i haven't got the third one as Amazon is out of stock. I will keep an eye on the stock and will try it again if it appears, third time lucky hopefully. Software is outdated but they keep up with security patches which is really the only important thing about updates nowadays. CPU is a bit underpowered so tablet is fairly slow, i would not recommend it for work. It's a great media consumption device but too slow to be productive. It's ok, at best, for internet browsing. I am sure dedicated apps would improve the experience but due to the meagre 16gb of storage, of which half is taken by the OS you can't really install many. For media storage you can use SD card slot. Would i recommend it? For media -yes, absolutely! Watching, reading, listening! For productivity - no, i think you need to look elsewhere.

The tablet performs really well, and takes great photos with both lenses. Not too heavy to carry around. However, it is slow in powering up (but there is the option of using a case to switch on and off to overcome this) Icons too can be a bit slow in responding. These are irritants rather than problems; but you do get a good little product which is much cheaper than its peer competitors.

Initially the tablet would not connect to Google via my home broadband. I got a message saying that the connection to the server was unreliable. I tried to phone Huawei but the phone number given on their support page doesn't work. I tried chat and that wasn't very helpful either (they suggested contacting the retailer). I checked for solutions on the web and tried one which suggested using a different network so I used the hotspot tethering facility on my phone and it worked. I was then able to connect via my home network and setup my Google account. But I found that the Google Playstore wouldn't load. I carried out a factory (hard) reset and found I could only logon via the phone again. I have spent hours trying to fix this with no success. It's going to be returned.

After a lot of research due to 2 Samsung Galaxy Tab A's breaking down with in 3 week and returned I purchased this HUAWEI MediaPad M2 10.0 Tablet for my wife to replace a broken iPad, I can honestly say this media pad is a little gem, flawless operation, screen performance is excellent, the sound from the on-board 4 speaker system is very impressive and we have not found an app it can not run. I am so impressed that I brought myself one too. I would suggest you purchase a 64 GB MicroSDXC UHS-I for you music and film as this little gem only has a 16 gb hard drive

Can't say I've overwhelmed by this product. It's overall construction is very nice but... 1. sound quality is poor despite this being a "media" tablet. Distorted at anything over mid volume. 2. battery life is significantly less than my Samsung. I reckon I get about 75% of the battery life and I have almost identical app set installed. 3. Not a fan of Huawei's EMUI interface...I find it a little querky On the plus side, the screen is excellent and viewable even in bright outside light and the fingerprint reader is fast. Don't get me wrong, this is not a bad product, just feels unpolished. Maybe the M3 is an improvement.

I use yahoo and this tablet appears to be set up for google .I cannot get it to allow yahoo. I cannot use this tablet and regret buying it.

Great but not the vast improvement I was expecting compared to my old Lenovo. Still the case is aluminium so it looks expensive and the sound is good from the speakers. Its not crashed yet but sometimes the screen does not respond straight away and you have to swipe it again. The Photos and camera are excellent so all in all I do really really like it and its didnt cost the earth.
