Huawei has mentioned details of its new Android tablets. The stripped-down version of its first tablet called MediaPad 7 MediaPad 7 Lite and should be compared to the Nexus 7 position of Google, especially with a UMTS module. For in the spring presented, but again shifted Full HD Tablet MediaPad 10 FHD there was a revised sheet and details Germany start. He is to take place on both units in October.

The new 7-inch MediaPad Lite is obviously priced at 250 euros in Google's Nexus Tablet oriented 7 (from 200 euros), but it offers many places a weaker hardware: He has only one clocked at 1.2 GHz single-core CPU , a lower resolution (1024 × 600 pixels) and an older version of Android (4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich). When you first try the display looked worse than the Nexus 7, the surface rather jerky and had repeatedly hanger - that may change of course in the final version yet. Also, the device a little heavy (380 grams) and is clunky in the hand, even if it by 11 millimeters is as thin as the Nexus 7 about. After all, the case looks with Trivalent Alurücken.

At two points in the data sheet, the MediaPad against the Nexus 7 points: It has a in this price range in Tablets rather rare UMTS module and a microSD slot, which the tablet in view of the meager 8 GB of flash memory media storage for a reasonable enhancing it.
A much meaner impression makes MediaPad 10 FHD, where the only slightly modified Android 4.0 interface largely ran smoothly and quickly. This is not, of course, because after all, the chip is a full HD display with 1920 × 1200 pixels control - so far there are few Android tablets with comparable resolution, the Asus Transformer Pad Infinity or because Acer A700. Equips the Huawei MediaPad with their own quad-core chip K3VC with 1.2 GHz clock speed, plus there is a powerful graphics and 1 GB RAM [-] was previously though of 2 GB and 1.5 GHz of the question. A UMTS module, the tablet does not go so only data connections via Wi-Fi.

Even otherwise makes the silver MediaPad 10 FHD a good first impression: The display beautiful colors, sharp and is largely independent of the viewing angle, only very bright, it does not seem to be. The unit is good for a 10-inch device in your hand, is relatively thin (less than 9 millimeters) and feels almost 600 grams not too heavy. As accessories there should be, among other things a detachable keyboard.
