Huawei media pad t1. The screen of a mobile device is characterized by its technology, resolution, pixel density, diagonal length, color depth, etc.
Huawei MediaPad T1 8.0 is an inexpensive 8-inch tablet with a metal body, a 3G modem and telephony functions. Outwardly, it resembles the large smartphone Huawei Ascend G7, but, unlike the phone, it has wider frames around the display. Its body turned out to be relatively thin for its price category - up to 9.1 mm. The use of metal affected the appearance and tactile sensations rather than the build quality - the tablet creaks and bends if you press on it.
Huawei MediaPad T1 8.0 has a mediocre display with a resolution of 1280x800 pixels. In addition, it has a low contrast level, individual pixels are visible and there is a color deviation - all this is typical for a budget phone. The tablet is unlikely to please anyone with its performance. An entry-level processor will not allow it to be used as a gaming platform - many demanding games do not start or crash.
However, we note that it is well optimized for daily use and hardly slows down when performing basic tasks.
The simple “filling” and display had a positive effect on the device’s battery life: in our tests, the battery lasted up to 6 hours in games and up to 12 hours of continuous video at medium brightness levels.
The set of wireless interfaces and communications is typical for a state employee (Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, 3G); in addition, it is possible to make phone calls. At the same time, the quality of voice communication is average: the interlocutor can be heard, but the sound is booming.
Among the shortcomings of the tablet, we note the low-quality cameras - the Huawei MediaPad T1 8.0 has two cameras of 5 and 0.3 MP. In our opinion, they are installed for show. The main disadvantage of the main camera is the lack of autofocus. We believe that cameras are not the most important thing for a tablet, but when it claims to replace a smartphone (SIM card and the ability to make calls), this criterion already acquires a certain weight and significance.
The average price for a Huawei MediaPad T1 8.0 tablet is about 11,000 rubles. In our opinion, considering the characteristics of the Huawei MediaPad T1 8.0, especially its entry-level processor, the tablet is overpriced. At the same time, it is suitable for simple basic tasks: watching movies, reading, listening to music, surfing the Internet. However, if you open many pages in the browser, it already starts to slow down. You can also make calls from the tablet, but the signal quality is not ideal. MediaPad T1 8.0 stands out mainly due to the use of metal in the body, which did not affect the build quality, but rather the appearance of the tablet.
Where can I buy
Materials and design - 2.0
The 8-inch Huawei MediaPad T1 8.0 looks similar to the Huawei Ascend G7 smartphone: a similar body shape and color, the same arrangement of controls and connectors. From the front, the MediaPad T1 8.0 looks like a typical budget tablet: rounded edges, wide bezels around the screen and a speaker above the display. However, the presence of a metal back cover and a plastic frame around the front panel in a “metal-like” manner distinguishes it from most budget tablets. The metal back is much more practical than the glossy one - it almost does not collect fingerprints and scratches. The back panel is not entirely made of metal - there are plastic inserts for antennas at the top and bottom. The side edges look like a sandwich made of metal and multi-colored plastic strips.
There are no physical control buttons on the front side. A solution widely used among tablets is used - the buttons are displayed on the display itself. The placement of the speaker is good - since it is located above the display, the sound will go to the user. However, there is only one speaker.
Build quality is average for a budget model. All parts fit well together, nothing is loose. True, despite the use of metal, the body creaks under pressure and bends easily, even if you press lightly on it. At the same time, it no longer restores the back shape, as usually happens if you slightly bend the device.
The Huawei MediaPad T1 8.0 tablet can only be purchased in white and silver.
Dimensions and weight - 4.7
The Huawei MediaPad T1 8.0 tablet is a medium-sized device: height and width - 21x12.7 mm, comparable to the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 with a larger diagonal. Thickness - up to 9.1 mm, slightly thicker than, for example, Lenovo Tab S8. MediaPad T1 8.0 weighs about 360 grams; only the Dell Venue 8 (372 grams) was heavier in tests. This can be explained by the use of metal in the housing.
We lowered the score on this parameter due to the wide bezels around the display and the substantial weight for an 8-inch device. You can cup the tablet in your palm, but holding it is awkward.
Communications
On the right side of the Huawei MediaPad T1 8.0 there are control keys. There are also slots for Micro-SIM and microSD cards (up to 32 GB), under one common plug. Note that the tablet supports hot-swappable memory cards, and you can also install applications on it. At the bottom you can see the microphone hole and microUSB connector. The left side remains “clean”, and at the top there is a lone headphone jack. The microUSB connector is simple, without USB OTG support: you cannot connect peripheral devices to it.
The set of wireless interfaces is typical for a budget device. Huawei MediaPad T1 8.0 is equipped with a 3G modem, the Wi-Fi module supports 802.11 b/g/n standards, Bluetooth 4.0, and an A-GPS module with GLONASS support. In addition, you will be able to make calls. During a call, the interlocutor can be heard, but the sound is booming.
Recently, a modification with LTE support entered the Russian market, although it costs two and a half thousand rubles more.
Performance - 2.3
The Huawei MediaPad T1 8.0 tablet is equipped with a budget entry-level processor - a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 MSM8212, with an operating frequency of up to 1.2 GHz. It comes with Adreno 302 as a graphics accelerator. The internal memory of the Huawei MediaPad tablet is 16 GB or 8 GB, and the amount of RAM is 1 GB.
Based on our tests, the tablet's performance can be called low. It is sufficient for basic tasks: it works well during daily use, but sometimes it slows down a little when working with applications or in multitasking mode. However, in demanding games the tablet will slow down or even crash. There is no universal recipe; each game must be checked separately. For example, casual games like Angry Birds will not be a problem for him, but Asphalt 8 simply crashes and closes when you try to play or go into the settings.
In synthetic tests, Huawei MediaPad T1 8.0 showed poor results. Our tests, each of which was carried out several times, show average values. In the Geekbench 3 benchmark, the tablet has typically budget results - 1127 points for Multi-Core performance, like the old Asus Nexus 7 (2012) by tablet standards. The device completed the SunSpider benchmark in 1621 milliseconds, almost like the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Lite. Thanks to the low resolution, the MediaPad T1 8.0 showed a good result in the Epic Citadel benchmark - 40.9 fps with settings for high performance. If you set the setting with an emphasis on high quality graphics, then the image ceases to be smooth, fps drops to 20.4. In the T-Rex HD Onscreen C24Z16 test from the GFXBenchmark benchmark, the tablet showed approximately 7.4 frames per second, and in the new Manhattan test - only 2.7 fps. The results are below average for tablets, and test scenes look more like choppy slideshows.
Display - 3.3
The display quality of the Huawei MediaPad T1 8.0 is poor, which, however, is typical for its price. The tablet uses an IPS matrix with a low resolution of 1280×800 pixels. With its 8-inch diagonal, the result is 189 pixels per inch - individual pixels are noticeable on the display. The display actively collects fingerprints.
The touchscreen response can be called good: it is sensitive and quickly responds to touches. The tablet is equipped with a light sensor, auto brightness works fine. On a sunny day, reading something from the screen is already problematic. The display does not have any special modes or settings.
In our tests, the screen showed mediocre results by the standards of an 8-inch tablet. We found that the screen has average viewing angles for an IPS matrix. The results for the maximum measured brightness turned out to be average - up to 335 cd/m2. But the minimum brightness of the white background is about 13 cd/m2, which is quite convenient for reading in the dark. The image contrast is not at all impressive - 253:1, which is low contrast for a tablet. The brightness distribution turned out to be average - 83%. The color rendition of the display is also not the most accurate - the color gamut lacks the depth of green and red shades. The colorimeter also showed quite strong color deviations.
Battery - 5.0
The battery life of the Huawei MediaPad T1 8.0 turned out to be high, on par with the LG G Pad 7.0 or Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact tablets. The nominal battery capacity is low - 4800 mAh, but the low resolution and not the most powerful processor contribute to good battery life. So, in our tests, the tablet lasted up to 6 hours in games at maximum display brightness - a little longer than the Xperia Z3 Tablet. When viewing video at medium brightness and in airplane mode, the MediaPad T1 8.0 showed HD video for 12 hours. The result, if not a record, is one of the best in our tests; in this parameter, the tablet outperforms the Asus Fonepad 8. With a “minimum” load (with the display turned on at minimum brightness), the tablet lasted for about 28 hours 40 minutes.
Software
The Huawei MediaPad T1 8.0 tablet runs on the Android 4.3 operating system with the proprietary Emotion UI interface. Most likely, the tablet will not receive an update to 5.0 Lollipop; today the company promised to update only top-end and mid-price smartphone models. Huawei did not promise updates even for the more expensive MediaPad X1 tablet. Among the advantages, we note a good keyboard, with markings of additional characters. There's also a 3x4 keyboard to choose from, with a separate number pad and basic arithmetic operations.
Interestingly, the tablet does not have a separate list of applications. Huawei MediaPad T1 8.0 comes pre-installed with several browsers, a file manager and device manager, Kingston Office, a special DLNA application for transferring images to a TV, Navitel for navigation, a set of Google services and more.
Cameras - 2.1
The Huawei MediaPad T1 8.0 tablet is equipped with simple 5 and 0.3 MP cameras. In our opinion, they are installed for show; you won’t be able to take good photos with them. They don't have a flash, which is typical for tablets, but both cameras don't even have autofocus - this is a serious drawback.
The maximum photo resolution is 2592x1944 pixels. Shooting something without autofocus is problematic, but for some reason in the settings there are modes for shooting panoramas, continuous shooting, etc. The main camera shoots HD video (1280x720 pixels) in MPEG-4 format, but there is no tracking autofocus.
The front camera is not suitable for good selfies, but is useful for video calls. The maximum photo resolution is 640x480 pixels, and it has a number of settings and modes. It is not clear who will need this at such a low resolution.
The years 2013 and 2014 were marked by the fact that the display diagonal of smartphones came very close to that of tablets. Huawei MediaPad T1 8.0 could well be classified as a smartphone if not for its screen diagonal, which is eight inches. Whether this is justified and whether it will be useful to someone, we’ll figure it out under the cut.
First impressions and appearance
The first thing you should decide on is the class of the device: phablet or tablet? The first glance at the device clearly tells us about the second one - its name and dimensions confirm this. However, the ability to make calls provided out of the box and the conversational (by the way, it is also multimedia, since it is the only) speaker located on the front panel eloquently declare the first.
But I believe that it all depends on the case of using MediaPad T1 8.0. Of course, most people will use it as a tablet, one of the capabilities of which is making calls, say, using a headset. But on the streets of Kyiv there are also those who use devices of similar sizes, such as a smartphone, excuse me, a phablet.
It’s nice that the Chinese brand uses metal in the body of even such an inexpensive tablet as the MediaPad T1 8.0. The back cover and the frame around the display are metal. The tablet is well assembled. The only thing we can complain about is a slight play in the mechanical buttons, but this can be forgiven.
Display
The diagonal of the Huawei MediaPad T1 8.0 IPS display is, as you might guess, exactly 8 inches, its resolution is 1280 x 800 pixels, and the pixel density is 189 ppi. This screen can easily recognize up to ten simultaneous touches. It is bright enough, and there are no issues with the viewing angles.
Of course, on eight inches I would like to see FullHD, but for the class of this tablet 1280 x 800 pixels is quite enough, and this is reflected in the best way in terms of battery life.
Cameras
Cameras are definitely not the trump card of the MediaPad T1 8.0. The resolution of the main one is 5 MP, the front one is 0.3 MP. And they are quite ordinary for a budget tablet.
Remember how the quality of pictures taken on a phone with a 5 MP camera once revolutionized our understanding of mobile photography? But how mediocre these pictures look today, even those taken with modern cameras with a resolution of 5 MP.
But this is all lyrics, although it well describes the main camera of the MediaPad T1 8.0. There is no need to talk about the high quality of photographs taken on the tablet. You can evaluate their quality below.
The front camera, whose resolution is 0.3 MP, is quite suitable for Skype and modest selfies.
Photo examples
Hardware and software
The processor installed in the MediaPad T1 8.0 is a quad-core Qualcomm MSM8212 operating at 1.2 GHz. Graphics accelerator – Adreno 302. RAM in the tablet is 1 GB, storage – 8 GB, it can be expanded using microSD memory cards.
Naturally, today with such hardware you will not take the first lines in benchmark ratings. AnTuTu shyly calls the MediaPad T1 8.0 “budget”, but I don’t think that the number of parrots in synthetic tests will be decisive for you when choosing a tablet.
It is much more interesting to know how the device copes with modern mobile games. The traditional Real Racing 3 and Dead Trigger 2 are already a pleasure to play on the MediaPad T1 8.0. This is due both to the hardware manufacturer (most games are primarily optimized for Qualcomm chips) and to the tablet manufacturer, who chose the familiar Snapdragon.
Things are much worse with the Huawei MediaPad T1 8.0 shell. Android version 4.3 Jelly Bean is almost invisible here, Emotion UI 1.6 ate it completely. And this is the biggest drawback of the device. I won’t talk about what EMUI version 1.6 looks like - as you know, felt-tip pens have different tastes and colors. But the fact that the tablet interface slows down here and there cannot be denied. And this fact deprives the user of probably half of the pleasant sensations that the tablet managed to evoke in him before he first turned it on. Of course, this shell also has its own features, but they are so small that it’s impossible to put up with the interface’s slowness for the sake of them.
The battery capacity is 4800 mAh, which with such a processor and display resolution is enough for a long time. Of course, the tablet is equipped with a 3G module, with which it can access the network and make calls.
It is known that there are as many tastes as there are people in the world. It is also known that there is no dispute about tastes, and therefore gadget manufacturers try to satisfy them all. It was from this impulse that tablets were born that you can use to make calls. Such as Huawei MediaPad T1 8.0 Pro LTE.
We have already talked about two similar devices - ASUS Fonepad 8 and Samsung GALAXY Tab A 8.0. These devices and the hero of our today’s review compete with each other, and to make it easier to choose your tablet from this trio, be sure to go to the KNOW-HOW store and touch each one with your own hands.
Simple design
Externally, Huawei MediaPad T1 8.0 Pro LTE does not stand out among the mass of tablets. This is a compact 8-inch device made of plastic with a metal-look back panel.
The tablet will appeal to those who do not like to attract the attention of others with their devices, but at the same time refuse to use ugly devices. There is no highlight here, such as thin frames around the screen, like Samsung, or front-facing stereo speakers, like ASUS Fonepad 8. However, like the latter, the external speaker is placed on the front side.
Among the controls, Huawei MediaPad T1 8.0 Pro LTE has a power button and volume rockers. Slots for SIM cards and microSD memory cards are hidden under a flap. The microUSB port is located on the right side of the bottom, so when you hold the tablet horizontally, you can charge it without the cable getting in the way. In general, everything is in the mind.
“Filling”: the best of the inexpensive ones
Tablets with the “dialer” function are created for practical people, and therefore their equipment always meets the requirement of “the best of the inexpensive”, so that the tablet remains affordable, but at the same time evokes positive emotions from communicating with it.
So, our hero is equipped with an inexpensive 8-inch IPS screen with a resolution of 1280 x 800. On the one hand, HD resolution for eight inches is not enough - pixels, here they are! On the other hand, this is an IPS panel that boasts good viewing angles.
In the sun, the tablet automatically sets the brightness to maximum to ensure the image remains readable. But watching movies or photos on Huawei MediaPad T1 8.0 Pro LTE under the scorching sun is not the best idea. As a result, we see that the tablet has a budget but high-quality screen that produces a picture that is pleasing to the eye. And if the screen were even a little better, it would be completely different money, because the higher the resolution, the more powerful the processor must be so that the device does not slow down.
In the case of the 8-inch Huawei MediaPad T1 8.0 Pro, the manufacturer considered that a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 with a frequency of 1.2 GHz and also 1 GB of RAM would be sufficient. And here, in general, you can’t argue. The tablet works great. True, dynamic 3D games may slow down, but this is not a problem, because SimCity BuildIt flies!
Camera: great photos in any situation
The resolution of the rear camera in Huawei MediaPad T1 8.0 Pro LTE is only 5 megapixels. But don't let this bother you. Removes the tablet perfectly. The ability to touch exposure on an area of the frame allows you to get out of the most difficult situations. This is relevant when you want, for example, to play with backlight. The tablet copes well with this phenomenon. Also, the Huawei MediaPad T1 8.0 Pro LTE camera manages to take surprisingly balanced pictures - without highlights or gaps in the shadows. Look for yourself - the photos are clear, bright, rich and simply beautiful!
All necessary means of communication
Huawei MediaPad T1 8.0 Pro LTE is equipped with a standard set of communication tools that is found in devices of this kind.
The presence of Wi-Fi is an opportunity to browse the Internet for free in the metro, Bluetooth is for a wireless headset, GPS is needed to use navigation systems and not wander in an unfamiliar city, and support for modern high-speed LTE networks will allow you to maintain a connection with the Internet at speeds of up to 150 Mbps. Micro SIM cards are used, and a sticker on the back of the tablet informs you that if you have a Nano SIM, then under no circumstances use an adapter. Some limitations are imposed by supporting only one SIM card.
So, Huawei MediaPad T1 8.0 Pro LTE is a balanced device with which you will emerge victorious in any life situation. It has everything that such a device should have - a good screen, enough hardware for most tasks, an excellent camera, support for LTE networks and, of course, the ability to make calls, which saves you from having to buy a smartphone as well. If the prospect of carrying several gadgets with you does not make you happy, then the Huawei MediaPad T1 8.0 Pro LTE is definitely your choice!

Tell your friends!
The Huawei Mediapad T1 7.0 tablet was announced at MWC 2015. The device belongs to the most budget class, offering the user basic functions. At the same time, the gadget can easily serve as a smartphone thanks to support for micro-SIM cards.
Appearance and ergonomics
The body of the Huawei MediaPad T1 7.0 is partially made of plastic, but almost the entire back part is made of metal. This aluminum alloy gives off a pleasant coolness. The back also has two acrylic strips on the bottom and top that have a textured surface. The front side is covered with a rather thick black protective glass. The body itself has a somewhat elongated shape, reminiscent of telephones. The device fits into the palm of your hand with particular ease and you can hold it for a very long time. And rough materials improve comfort and convenience during use. The device looks quite attractive, and in many ways even stylish. Dimensions Mediapad T1 7.0 - height 192 mm, width - 107 mm, thickness - 8.6 mm, weight - 278 g. Color - silver-white. There is a non-removable 4100 mAh battery.
Display
This tablet PC has a 7-inch screen with average brightness and good color reproduction. The resolution of the IPS matrix is 1024 by 600 pixels. Using the display indoors is quite comfortable, but outdoors the picture is barely visible due to the lack of anti-glare coating. The touchscreen responds to 5 simultaneous touches; its sensitivity cannot be called outstanding. At the same time, viewing angles are implemented at a very high level.
Hardware and performance
The MediaPad T1 7.0 models with the fairly well-known Snapdragon 410 processor are supplied to the American market. But domestic users will have to be content with the Spreadtrum SC7731G chip. Its main advantage is its low power consumption. But the quad-core processor itself with a frequency of 1200 MHz cannot be called fast. It uses a Mali-400MP graphics accelerator and also has 1 GB of RAM. The device provides 8 GB of free storage, and a slot for microSD cards up to 32 GB is designed to compensate for the lack of space. The gadget runs on Android 4.4.1 with a convenient EMUI 3.0 shell.
The rather poor performance is clearly reflected in the AnTuTu synthetic test (version 5.7), where the Huawei Mediapad T1 7.0 scores only 14,000 points. Therefore, you can play normally only on minimal graphics settings, and some projects may not start at all. But in the menu and ordinary applications, the device’s leisurely operation is practically not felt.
Communication and sound
The tablet sounds loud enough, the speakers are of good quality. In headphones, things are even better, since here the maximum volume is higher and the sound quality is more serious. An important feature of the Huawei MediaPad T1 7.0 is the ability to make calls. At the same time, the gadget keeps the connection confidently, the interlocutor can be heard well. But the user's voice may be somewhat muffled. 3G and 2G networks are supported.
Camera
The Mediapad T1 7.0 has 2-megapixel cameras on the back and front. They have an aperture of 2.8 and also lack autofocus. The quality of the photographs leaves much to be desired, but the video cameras shoot at a quite acceptable level.
conclusions
The T1 7.0 Mediapad comes with a USB cable, instructions and adapter. At the same time, the device can safely serve as not only a tablet, but even a smartphone. For its 7,000 rubles, this is a worthy option for novice users, but nothing more.
Pros:
- High quality build.
- Attractive design.
- Modest dimensions.
- Ability to make calls.
Minuses:
- Very weak cameras.
- Insufficient performance.
