Review on Tablet HUAWEI MediaPad 10 FHD Wi-Fi by Ada Suprynowicz ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not a bad product, quite normal quality.

All that I wrote concerns firmware 4.1. Yes, there is no such thing for 2022 yet, I put the Chinese one: 2022 is there, but the market must be unlocked with root. Now there is a 4.1 global with a 2022 and a market. However, flashing to software from another region is a loss of warranty (in case this is found out). Regular 4.0 lived with me for about a week. It was one frustration: ALL browsers crashed, everything that was possible was wildly lagging, only the video was showing normally. To be honest, I expected more completeness from the huawei. It was not difficult for me to cut it a little, but a tablet from a major manufacturer in such a "raw" state is bewildering. You probably already wondered why 4 points, if everything is so bad :) Here's what I did with the tablet in total: 1) the firmware was replaced by 4.1 china (it also required root and activation of the market by removing one system file). 2) base launcher replaced by Apex 3) the Huawei lock screen is blocked (the regular Google one appears automatically) 4) everything that is allowed is removed and everything that is not allowed from the standard software is frozen / stopped / blocked. After that, the only drawback of the tablet in my eyes was the inability to play Subway Surfers (yes, they don't work either). Therefore: minus one point for a file, otherwise a wonderful, for me, tablet for ridiculous money. However, the file cannot be compared with the "purebred" Chinese. So I would not argue that it is better to take a noname from some kind of rhythm or ekplay. By the way, for the 16GB 3G version, the ate to 4.1 arrives by itself for a long time, correcting most of the shortcomings automatically :) But there is no 2022 OTA for this version yet.

Pros
  • 1) Perfect screen for reading, watching videos, surfing the web. 2) Good loud and fairly "clean" built-in speakers 3) Excellent quality of materials and workmanship, excellent ergonomics. 4) Interesting software additions to android from huawei, such as hiding the bottom panel, etc. 5) All emerging glitches occur only in easily replaceable software (launcher, for example), so there will be no "purely Chinese story" when the tablet is buggy, hangs and reboots, and no reinstallation of software, flashing and shamanism with a tambourine will fix this (yes , I had a Chinese rhythmics - that still set "young radio amateur". 6) The battery really holds very well. 7-8 hours of video, a month (not less, but most likely much more) just lying on a shelf. Huawei did a good job of saving energy (the battery is not the most outstanding in terms of volume, and the results are not bad).
Cons
  • 1) First and foremost, if you need games, you've come to the wrong door. Don't try to figure out options and look at synthetic benchmarks. Games don't work. Dot. Of those that work - birds, Disney swamps, perry, etc., simple toys for the smallest type of games from Little Beetle and Gh Team, rare exceptions of 3D like Despicable Me. If this set is enough for you, then there is no problem. For "heavy" NOVA and other NFS, the tablet is not intended at all. (unless, of course, 15-20 FPS in NFS does not suit you :) ) 2) Regular software is buggy and lags. Sad but true. Huawei could not deliver the finished device. In fact, everything is not so scary, although not pleasant. The standard launcher not only lags horror, but also frantically bugs: program shortcuts can periodically disappear, periodically, vice versa, double up, periodically lose the link to the application (the application will stop starting, and there will be a green robot on the shortcut instead of a picture) - I replaced the standard. launcher for Apex (free). The regular lock screen lags wildly, I blocked it in applications, and so on. the regular Android 4.1 blocker was activated, which works much more cheerfully. The standard keyboard is a quiet horror, I replaced it with a purchased swipe. 3) There are few accessories, it is not easy to find, they are expensive. Recently, the situation here in Hong Kong has improved and cheap covers have appeared (~1000), it is quite easy to find a USB adapter, you can order / buy a keyboard dock in a connected one. But still, in a particular region, it is better to study the offers before buying. Since the connector is proprietary, you may even have to look for the charging wire if it is damaged, for example, not to mention adapters for flash drives and TVs. In addition, the prices are 400-500 for a charging wire (against 200 for a regular micro USB), 400-500 for an OTG USB adapter (against 200-300 for a regular OTG-microUSB), 1500 (!) for an adapter on HDMI is simply beyond good and evil (against 200-300 for a micro HDMI wire / adapter, or 500-600 for MHL, depending on which connector). So it's up to you.
