| 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. | 3GB/4GB |
| 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. | 32GB/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. | Accelerometer, Compass, Fingerprint sensor, Proximity sensor |
| 3.5mm jack | Yes |
| Loudspeaker | Yes, stereo speakers |
| Audio Technology | Stereo |
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. | 7500 mAh Li-Poly |
| Battery Life | 13 hours |
| Charging | 18W wired charging |
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. | 8MP |
| Front Camera | 8MP |
| Video | 1080p@30fps |
| Camera Features | AF, Auto flash |
| 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) | Yes |
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. | v4.2 |
| 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, WiFi 5, dual-band |
| USB | USB Type-C 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, A-GPS, BDS, 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.

I found the Huawei MediaPad M5 Lite has excellent build quality with a nice 10.1-inch screen and competitive pricing. However, I experienced some lag with user interface actions. The screen was also very slippery affecting my drawing. Palm rejection did not always work perfectly resulting in stray lines in my artwork. - Teoh Yi Chie |

I really like the fingerprint sensor for easy unlocking. The quad speakers tuned by Harman Kardon provide decent audio. Performance is generally snappy thanks to the Kirin 659 chipset, though some lag in intensive 3D games. - Hands-On Tech |

The display is fairly bright with good viewing angles but lacks clarity compared to premium tablets. Performance is generally smooth though the EMUI skin seems a bit outdated and choppy at times. The included M-Pen stylus is a nice surprise - it feels sturdy like a real pen and works well for note taking with handy gestures. Battery life is also a plus with the large 7500mAh capacity and fast charging. - Slashdot |

Pros: - Long battery life with 7500mAh capacity - Large 10.1-inch 1920x1200 IPS LCD display - Good performance for the price with Kirin 659 chipset Cons: - Screen not very bright and lacks clarity - Creaking/durability issues when twisting device |
Huawei has released an affordable 10-inch Android tablet, the MediaPad M5 Lite. This tablet aims to deliver a quality media consumption experience and basic drawing functionality at a budget price point.
The MediaPad M5 Lite sports an aluminum unibody design that looks and feels premium, albeit with some creaking when twisted.
Its 10.1-inch 1920×1200 IPS display renders video cleanly, although it lacks the clarity and brightness of more expensive tablets.
Powering the experience is a capable Kirin 659 chipset and 3/4GB RAM, delivering smooth performance for web browsing and video streaming.
Some stuttering occurs when pushing the tablet to its limits in 3D games, but overall responsiveness meets expectations given the cost.
On the media side, the MediaPad impresses with loud, quality sound from its four Harman Kardon-tuned speakers.
The stereo audio shines whether you’re listening to Spotify or watching YouTube. Battery life also hits the right notes, with a robust 7500mAh capacity providing all-day video and web use.
Drawing and notes get a boost from the included M-Pen stylus. The stylus offers solid pressure sensitivity, although palm rejection falters at times.
For basic sketching and note-taking, it adds nice functionality suiting students on a budget. Via a dedicated microSD slot, internal storage can be cheaply expanded up to 256GB.
In all, buyers looking for an affordable media tablet with solid speakers, sharp screen, and bonus stylus support need not look further than the feature-packed MediaPad M5 Lite.
Despite some durability and interface concerns, Huawei’s latest tablet delivers strong value and utility for media consumption, web browsing, light gaming, and basic creativity.
