Tablets are not yet dead. That’s what we’ve been telling you as Huawei launched the MediaPad M5 last month. MediaPad M5 10 Pro images were leaked earlier this year and was soon introduced, evoking in us a sense of déjà vu. You see, the MediaPad line has been around since 2011. The top Chinese OEM hasn’t stopped producing tablets although it took a while before a new model was made public.
Two new models are now ready in Italy. The MediaPad T5 10 is accompanied by the MediaPad M5 Lite 10. There’s not much difference between the two as both sport a 10.1-inch screen, Full HD resolution, and Android 8.0 Oreo. Design-wise, they look the same.
