The Huawei MediaPad T5 10 is shipped with Android 8.0 Oreo. And I’m afraid to say that it probably will never get an update to Android 9.0. Obviously, I can’t predict the future. However, in the past, Huawei has been very disappointing with updates. Especially for their cheaper tablets. Sadly, that is the case with most competitors as well. Go to Settings → Apps → Filter options → enable show system apps → Bluetooth → Storage → Clean Cache. As you can see in my battery comparison, the result of 10.5 hours is not really good but not really bad either. It’s kind of what you expect at this price point. It should last you a whole day during normal use. Actually, if you don’t use it constantly, it’ll probably last you two days. However, if you’re playing games it’ll drain the battery faster. In standby, it almost does not lose any energy at all. Huawei MediaPad T5 10 Review: Final Verdict

Compared to the MediaPad T3 10, Huawei has improved the screen a lot. The Huawei MediaPad T5 10 has a 10.1-inch display with a full HD resolution of 1920 x 1200. Even though the pixel density is not as high as on premium-tablets, I think full HD on 10 inches is high enough. Yes, if you’re looking very closely you might see pixels. But if you’re holding the tablet at a normal distance in front of you, text and icons do look sharp.It is an IPS panel with good viewing angles and the screen is laminated. That means there is no noticeable gap between the touchscreen and the IPS layer. It is bright enough as well but certainly not the brightest. You can use it outside but in direct sunlight, it’s a bit dark. The contrast is very good though and colors look nice. Inside the Huawei MediaPad T5 10 sits a battery with a capacity of 5100mAh. In my standard battery test, that is enough for a runtime of 10.5 hours. As usual, I’m looping an HD video at 50 percent brightness and activated WiFi. The power-hungry cores need an enormous amount of battery juice to provide top-notch results, which eventually leads to faster battery drain. If the Wi-Fi is still disconnecting even after resetting the network settings, then you can try out the following method.

The performance of the Kirin 659 with the 3GB of RAM is good enough for almost everything. And that is what my benchmark tests show as well. In Geekbench 4 the MediaPad T5 10 gets around 960 and 3700 points. In AnTuTu, it gets a result of over 86.000. With these scores, it is much faster than tablets from last year that cost between 200 and 300 US dollars. And it is faster than the new and much pricier Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.5. I’ve had a lot of good things to say about it and some negative points too. The battery life could be better. And I wish Huawei would update their tablets regularly. But overall, I think the Huawei MediaPad T5 10 is a good value for its price. At the same time, it is priced competitively and right now, you can’t get a better tablet for the same price. There are some other cases such as you are not using the original Huawei charger too. So, here’s the method to fix the fast battery drain issue on Huawei MediaPad T5. There are two speakers on the bottom. That’s not an ideal position because you can cover them easily while laying on a bed or sofa and having the tablet on your belly. But, actually, you can just rotate it and then its fine. Anyways, the sound quality is certainly good enough. It’s fine for watching YouTube and listening to music. Yes, they are not the best speakers, but for better ones, you usually have to invest a bit more. The MediaPad T5 10 gets good results in my gaming test as well, especially when considering the price. Sure, it is not a perfect gaming tablet. If you are looking for a high-end performance you have to spend at least 100 dollars more. But most games run very nicely. Among those are Asphalt 8 and Modern Combat 5. The later one did not run smoothly on the predecessor.In the following section, we’ve listed some of the most common problems in which your Huawei phone might malfunction, along with the most common solution to resolve these issues without needing expert support or a trip to the Huawei repair center. The EMUI is one of the view things that can be a bit annoying with tablets from Huawei. However, I’m often using their phones and then I get used to it and it’s not too bad. If you get it, you should go through most of the settings to see what you might want to change. For example, I’m not a big fan of the SwiftKey keyboard. But its Android so you can always change it.
