Huawei MediaPad happens to be the world's first tablet announced with Android Honeycomb 3.2. The MediaPad features an IPS screen with 217pixel-per-inch density translating into a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels and is powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core chip by Qualcomm, which grants that the MediaPad can handle 1080p full HD videos with ease, but at the same time it won't tax the battery too much with a quoted six hours of battery life. The tablet packs HSPA+ connectivity with up to 14.4 Mbps on the downlink, Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth, GPS, HDMI and 8 gigs of internal storage, which can be expanded through microSD cards. A 5-megapixel camera on the back and a 1.3-megapixel one up front will help you capture those important moments when there's no other camera around.

- Technology:
Technology - There are two main screen technologies currently used in phones and tablets: LCD and AMOLED. The former usually features a light source and liquid crystals, while the latter is based on organic light-emitting diodes. Newer LCD variations like IPS-LCD and Super-LCD allow for very accurate color reproduction and very wide viewing angles, where no significant image quality loss is observed. Current AMOLED screens differ in such a way that they can exhibit much more saturated colors (sometimes too much) and incredibly high contrast levels, which is due to black color being completely black in AMOLED displays.
