Mediapad

Huawei MediaPad, the world's first 7-inch Android 3.2 Honeycomb tablet. The MediaPad is a complete entertainment powerhouse driven by Qualcomm's dual-core 1.2GHz processor, supported by Huawei Device's Hispace cloud solution and Google Android Market. The MediaPad provides a fabulous user experience in a stylish, high-performing and ultra-portable package.

The MediaPad is Huawei Device's smartest, slimmest and lightest tablet yet, measuring just 10.5mm (0.4 inches) deep and weighing approximately 390g (0.86 pounds). It supports 1080P full HD video playback and features a 1.3 megapixel front facing camera and 5 megapixel auto focus rear facing camera with HD video recording capabilities. With HSPA+ 14.4Mbps and high-speed WiFi 802.11n Internet connectivity, the MediaPad doesn’ t just entertain – it keeps you connected. 

The bigger models have always had one distinct advantage - they run on Android 3.2 Honeycomb which is tailored for Tablet computers.The 7in models, on the other hand, are more portable but run on the older operating systerms - Android 2.2 Froyo or Android Gingerbread 2.3 - which are actually meant for smartphones.This basically means you are getting the same user experience as using a smartphone but on a 7in screen.If you are not willing to wait for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus which will be the first to sport the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system, then Huawei might have a solution for you.Its MediaPad is one of the first 7in Tablet to be powered by Honeycomb which means it can offer the same user experience as its larger siblings.

As powerful

Despite its small size, the MediaPad is no dwarf when it comes to firepower. Its 1.2GHz dual-core processor and 1GB RAM makes it at least as powerful as 10in Tablets using the Tegra 2 chip.
We watched 720p movies (the device can handle 1080p videos too) and played Asphalt 6 on it without any hiccups.
The MediaPad utilises the same IPS (In-Plane Switching) panel technology as the iPad which gives the screen better viewing angles and brightness. However, the screen is still hard to view under direct sunlight.

Conclusion

Portability is definitely the Huawei MediaPad's main selling point and it has enough firepower to rival some of its bigger 10in siblings. The fact that it runs on Honeycomb also makes it an interesting option compared to the 7in Tablets running the older operating systems.

Perhaps, the only drawback is its price tag - at RM1,399 it is a bit on the pricey side. You can probably get a 10in Tablet at that price range.

Another downside is that it generates a lot of heat which makes it less comfortable to use for long periods.

If you can look past these little issues then you will find that the Huawei MediaPad is a pretty interesting and functional 7in Tablet.

Pros: Runs on Honeycomb; as powerful as most 10in Tablets; slim and lightweight.

Cons: Gets very hot; a bit pricey.
