Excellent Huawei Tech! Five Stars.
** This is a review for the M5 Lite 10 **I have a Huawei mobile phone which I have had for a while and its never let me down and has some great features. I researched lots of tablets before deciding on this one, Samsung S6 Lite, Ipad Mini, Microsoft Surface Go etc. I picked this based on reviews on amazon and Web reviews.Good- The build quality is surprisingly beautiful, a very slim profile, all metal back that curves at the edges, its weighty without being heavy, it's really nice to hold in the hands.- There is an on/off button and volume button, operation is easy just simply hold the on/off button and it cranks to life in around 30 seconds or so.- The display has a great range of colour, nothing feels over saturated, the pixels are well defined if a tiny bit sharp on some Web pages.I did actually almost send this back after ten minutes of surfing YouTube, there was a huge pixellation effect which I couldn't stand. However after reading up It was pointed out to me that I had YouTube set to the lowest resolution which was why, you can increase resolution on videos individually so bear that in mind!- The videos in hi res or full HD are just great, no issues, rich colours with deep solid blacks. The screen resolution for this price and size is fantastic.- The finger print sensor is super simple to set up and works just fine, it's set on the front on a tiny home button sensor, never prompting me to take a second go.- The touchscreen is spot on, it doesn't need tapping twice, it just works. Taps, swipes, up down, left right, it's very dependable.- The tablet comes with a lot of preinstalled apps and it's up to you how you would like to customise, it's really easy to just delete what you won't use.- The tablet comes installed with Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint along with Outlook, this isn't stated in the listing so it's a huge bonus.- The sound, there are four speakers one in each corner, the sound is brilliant. For such a slim profile it really packs a punch, it's immersive, doesn't stutter at peak high volume, crisp and clear speech and a wonderful sound stage when playing music. It's really very impressive.- It came with around 50% charge and once that was exhausted it took around two hours to fast charge to approximately 90%. I haven't exhausted it fully again to measure how long each charge lasts I just top it up but it doesn't seem battery hungry at all whether in use or on standby.- Apps open and close at pace, no jitters or issues, some aren't optimised for tablet use but that's the same for a lot of apps on any tablet.- Portrait and Landscape mode swap very swiftly and smoothly.- The interface I am used to because I have a Huawei phone but again its super simple to navigate, it is based on Android with a skin on top but if you've used any android device it will be familiar, if your using an android for the first time its in no way complex, it is user friendly.- Multiple apps and programmes running at the same time are handled with ease, it's a powerful tablet especially at this price point.- I haven't used the external storage yet so can't comment on that.Could be better- A handful of times in the week I have had the tablet the facial recognition has prompted me to try again, it may be my face, it may be the way I'm holding the tablet and at what angle or it could be the software, not a big issue.- The cameras, the cameras may as well not be there. I struggle to see why you would use a camera on a tablet since every mobile phone today has a camera with 10mp plus and allsorts of software to modify your shots. The cameras on this tablet are really an afterthought, the shots are very sharp, lots of blown highlights and pixellation.However, having tested the cameras I very much doubt I'll use them again so it's just not a problem, they are there if needed.- The only real niggle I have with the tablet is when in portrait mode my fingers naturally hover around the sleep button, to start with I was constantly accidentally knocking it and it was frustrating, however after a few days muscle memory starts to kick in and your holding position adapts so I have more of less nullified this now.Overall I really didn't expect so much from such a small tablet that isn't either a Samsung or an Apple Device, and at such a competitive price. It's truly a brilliant tablet, great display, amazing sound, tip top build quality, multi apps, Microsoft Office, fast and smooth.If you are in the market for a new tablet and haven't considered a Huawei then really do read up on this, it's a great great tablet with so much on offer for the money it costs.Highly highly recommended.Five Stars.

Highly recommended
Having already owned a Huawei Mediapad M3 Lite in a 10 inch size, I was already familiar with this tablet. This is the latest iteration and I am very pleased with it. To be fair, I purchased this to use with my DJI Fly app for flying my drone. For this purpose, it is perfect. But even as a general use tablet it is excellent. The screen is display is excellent and it my opinion and sound is brilliant with Harmon Larsen tuning. Admittedly, I don't use it as a general purpose tablet, but I have found battery life to be incredibly good. It is on standby most of the time, but I have only had to charge it about once a week. The DJI Fly app is very power intensive and even after two hours used I find I have only used about5 to 8 percent of the battery.The build quality is very good with a very rich feel to it. It would have been nice to have included USB-C as many of the newer device manufacturers are doing, but I don't believe that fact alone should deter from the numerous positives of this tablet. I ships with Android 9 which fast and snappy.The only negative comment I could make is that there does not appear to be a screen protector available for it yet. The ones that are currently for sale on Amazon are for an older model and have different openings.If you are looking for a high quality 8 inch tablet, I can highly recommend this one.

Great for Lightroom
When I go out for a photo shoot, I usually transfer my photos to my phone and edit them in Lightroom. I wanted something with better processing power, but also good portability. I initially looked at the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4, which, as far as I can tell, is the most popular editing tablet on the market at the moment.The M5 Lite has more or less the same specs, but at half the price, so I decided to go for it. The battery life is pretty good, and it charges quite quickly- USB type C connection. The display is clear and crisp, and I've had no problem using it when I'm outside in bright conditions. The sound quality is excellent and the response time on the display is great too- I've had no issues with freezing or crashes. As indicated by the name, the tablet is ideally suited for multimedia- games, YouTube and Netflix all work just fine.Its editing performance is great. As mentioned previously, I use Lightroom. The processing speed is excellent it's rare to get lag and such. The clarity is sharp and the large screen allows me to see as much detail as possible, which, as an editor, is what you want.

Good tablet spoiled somewhat by software
For the price, this tablet is great, I find it relatively responsive, and able to handle most things I want to do with it. I have two issues.The in built app management is too aggressive, it's quite hard to create meaningful exceptions to it. E.g if I try to get Netflix to download in the background and turn the tablet off the process is destroyed. It's the same with a lot of background tasks.The big disappointment for me is it's still running Android 8. There's not a big developer community for it, so not many options to up update it even unofficially by flashing it.This may be related to the Huawei Google ban, but they keep saying it will get updated on the forums, but it doesn't.

Its good
I like that you get a pretty decent tablet and new life friends all in one.The Chinese government spies were really polite and sometimes would sing me to sleep or read stories to me. They even video call me to join their family for dinner on the 3rd Saturday of every month. Now I don't feel alone or sad. Lets see Apple top that.
