Huawei announces the MediaPad M1, an aluminum 8-inch tablet with fast data connection and phone capabilities
At MWC 2014, Huawei announced another new tablet, the MediaPad M1. Although it's a more modest device compared to the striking X1, the M1 has a bigger 8-inch display with the resolution of 800x1280 pixels. Its technology chart is completed by a quad-core 1.6GHz processor, dual front-facing speakers, and a 4800 mAh battery. According to Huawei, this battery should be good for 8 hours of video playback. Oh, and let's not forget the pair of 1MP and 5MP auto-focus cameras that reside on the front and back sides.
At a thickness of 0.3 inches (7.9mm), the MediaPad M1 is one slim 8-incher. It weights 329g, and is constructed from aluminum. Software-wise, the M1 runs Android with Huawei's Emotion UI 2.0 on top. The UI offers "over 1000 diverse themes", so you'll have plenty of customization options before opting for a 3rd-party launcher.
