Earlier today, we promised a reference review of the two Media Pad tablets that Huawei released last year. This is a look at the Huawei Media Pad, the anchor model of the pair.

The screen resolution in the Media Pad closely rivals the high-selling Asus Transformer Prime TF700T with its 10-inch screen and 224 ppi specification.
The Media Pad has an aluminium back panel that lightens the carry load and slides the model in ahead of even the Kindle Fire, and it has a far greater array of features and capabilities to back up its
“better than”
…boast.
