| RAM RAM (Random Access Memory) is a type of computer memory that can be accessed randomly, any byte of memory can be accessed without touching the preceding bytes that allows information to be stored and accessed quickly from random locations. RAM is the most common type of memory found in computer systems, smartphones, tablets and other electronic devices. | 4GB LPDDR4 |
| Internal Storage Internal Storage is a data storage space (flash memory) mostly used in smartphones, tablets and other electronic devices where operating system, apps, music, photos, videos, files and other user data Is stored. | 32/64GB |
| Memory Card Slot Memory Card Slot is a special slot for inserting a memory card. Memory cards allow you to expand the phone's built-in memory, A memory card (sometimes called a flash memory card or a storage card) is a small storage medium used to store data such as text, pictures, audio, and video, for use on small, portable or remote computing devices such as mobile phones, mp3 players, digital cameras. | Yes |
| Sensors Sensors are electronic components that detects and responds to some type of input from the physical environment. The specific input could be light, heat, motion, moisture, pressure and location, The output is generally a signal that is converted to use in computing systems, a location sensor, such as a GPS receiver is able to detect current location of your electronic device. | Fingerprint, Accelerometer, Gyro, Proximity, Compass |
| 3.5mm jack | Yes |
| Loudspeaker | Yes, with stereo speakers |
| Audio Technology | Tuned by Harman Kardon |
Battery
| Capacity Battery Capacity is a measure (typically in Amp-hr) of the charge stored by the battery, and is determined by the mass of active material contained in the battery. The battery capacity represents the maximum amount of energy that can be extracted from the battery under certain conditions. | 5100 mAh |
| Battery Life | 9 hours |
| Charging | No |
Camera
| Rear Camera Camera is able to capture photographs and usually videos, The most important characteristics of a camera are the resolution (measured in megapixels), lens focus type (fixed or automatic), higher megapixel cameras are known to capture higher quality photos, but not always a good measurement of the photos quality. | 8 MP |
| Front Camera | 8 MP |
| Video | 1080p@30fps |
| Camera Features | HDR, Panorama |
| Flash Flash Light => There is commonly two types of flash lights are used in camera mobile phones, LED Flash (LED flash offers lower power consumption with drive circuitry that takes up very little room, LEDs can be strobed faster than any other light source), Xenon Flash (xenon flash produces an extremely intense full-spectrum white light for a very short duration) | No |
Connectivity
| Bluetooth Bluetooth is a wireless communications technology for exchanging data between mobile phones, headsets, computers and other network devices over short distances without wires, Bluetooth technology was primarily designed to support simple wireless networking of personal consumer devices. | 4.1 |
| Wi-fi Wi-Fi is a popular wireless networking technology using radio waves to provide high-speed network connections that allows devices to communicate without cords or cables, Wi-Fi is increasingly becoming the preferred mode of internet connectivity all over the world. | 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, dual-band |
| USB | microUSB 2.0 |
| GPS GPS The Global Positioning System is a satellite-based radio navigation system, GPS permits users to determine their position, velocity and the time 24 hours a day, in all weather, anywhere in the world, In order to locate your position, your device or GPS receiver must have a clear view of the sky. | Yes, with A-GPS, GLONASS |
| NFC NFC (Near field communication) is a set of standards for smartphones and similar devices to establish peer-to-peer radio communications with each other by touching them together or bringing them into proximity, usually no more than a few inches. | |
| Wireless Charging Wireless Charging (Inductive Charging) uses an electromagnetic field to transfer energy between two objects. This is usually done with a charging station. Energy is sent through an inductive coupling to an electrical device, which can then use that energy to charge batteries or run the device. | No |

My experience was delightful. The display is gorgeous with its high resolution and color saturation. The speakers produce the deepest, loudest audio I've ever heard from an Android tablet. Performance is fast and smooth thanks to the powerful processor, making it great for games and movies. - Pocketnow |

The EMUI software feels dated and unfinished, lacking an app drawer and practical notification panel. Performance was inconsistent - fast for light tasks but slower and more stuttery than expected for graphically intensive games. - PhoneArena |
| User Reviews 3 |
The metal body feels durable, though there are fewer physical ports than I'd like. Battery life is on par with an iPad Mini 4 at a good 8-10 hours. Performance is generally smooth, with the exception of occasional dropped frames in graphically intensive games and 60fps YouTube playback. - Lon.TV |

Pros: - Gorgeous, high resolution and colorful display - Loud, deep audio from speakers - Powerful processor provides fast and smooth performance Cons: - EMUI interface takes some getting used to - Occasional dropped frames in graphically intensive games - Lack of 5GHz wireless AC support |
Huawei has released an excellent new Android tablet, the MediaPad M3.
After spending several weeks testing the device, it left a highly positive impression thanks to its beautiful high-resolution screen, loud stereo speakers tuned by Harman Kardon, sleek premium design, long battery life, and smooth overall performance.
Display Quality Wows
The MediaPad M3 shines with its crisp, vibrant 8.4-inch IPS LCD display at 2560×1600 resolution.

Whether watching movies, browsing photos, or reading ebooks, the display excels.
Speakers Produce Deep, Powerful Audio
Audio stands out as another major highlight of the MediaPad M3. The tablet pumps out surprisingly loud and clear sound from its stereo speakers.
Dual speakers projected downwards offer deeper bass and better stereo separation than most tablets. The audio has enough power and fullness for enjoying music and movies.
Premium Metal Design Built to Last
Huawei has crafted the MediaPad M3 out of aluminum alloy for a sturdy, futuristic look and feel.
Its polished metal exterior looks attractive from every angle while promising long-term durability.
Weighing just 1.15 pounds, the tablet remains comfortable for handheld use.
Smooth Interface and All-Day Battery
A zippy Huawei Kirin 950 processor and 4GB of RAM provide fast, fluid performance when navigating Huawei’s Android interface, gaming, and running apps.
The user interface resembles iOS in some aspects which takes minor adjustment.
Impressively, the large 5100 mAh battery powers through 8 to 10 hours of mixed usage, outlasting most competitors.
Great for Media Consumption But Lacking in Some Areas
In summary, buyers looking for an immersive media consumption tablet with top-notch display, speakers, design and battery life need look no further than Huawei’s MediaPad M3.
Weaknesses like occasional gaming lag, software quirks, mediocre cameras and lack of 5GHz Wi-Fi hardly take away from its excellence as an entertainment slate.
