Huawei MediaPad M5 (8.4-inch) review: Genuine iPad Mini competition

The tablet industry has been in a lull for the past couple of years. Apart from Amazon with the really affordable Fire tablets, or Apple with the iPad series, there’s been very little in the way of movement – particularly those based on Google’s Android operating system.

But just when you thought the Android tablet market might be completely dead, Huawei announced new MediaPad models at Mobile World Congress 2018. There’s a small 8.4-inch model, as reviewed here, and a larger 10.8-inch Pro model with a stylus (no prizes for guessing which Apple products the company is directly competing with here).
