We had a tablet with an 8-inch screen at our disposal. Unlike its more expensive counterparts, the new product received a screen with a lower resolution, less RAM, and a less productive chip.

Huawei MediaPad M3 Lite 10 prices

Delivery package and first impressions

id="sub2">

The tablet comes in a thick cardboard box. At the top there is an inscription with the name of the model.

In addition to the device itself, the package contains a microUSB cable for synchronization and charging, an electrical adapter, a master key for the SIM card tray, instructions and a warranty card.

As for the tablet itself, it is compact and very thin. I believe that models with an 8-inch screen are the most convenient to use. They are great to read text information, websites, watch movies comfortably. At the same time, the dimensions and weight are not as large as those of devices with a screen of 10 inches or more. The dimensions of the Huawei MediaPad M3 Lite are 213.3 x 123.3 x 7.5 mm, weight 310 grams.

The tablet can be grasped with one hand. Of course, you will have to control it with both hands. In general, I did not notice any shortcomings. You can choose a case to protect your tablet. The choice here is more than large.

Design and appearance

id="sub3">

The design of the Huawei MediaPad M3 Lite has many similarities with the appearance of the Honor line of smartphones. The same finishing materials are used here. The tablet is thin and compact. The body shape is rectangular, aspect ratio is 16:9, the corners are sloping, the edges taper on the sides. An aluminum frame runs along the sides of the tablet, which strengthens the structure and protects it from falls and mechanical damage. There are several plastic inserts along the contour. Antennas for receiving and transmitting data from cellular networks, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS/GLONASS are located here.

The front panel is covered with glass. There is an oleophobic coating, it is quite effective. The finger glides across the display easily, and any fingerprints that appear are erased quickly.

The back of the case is made of plastic.

The 8-inch MediaPad M3 tablet is available in two colors - silver and bronze (gold). Both colors look very interesting.

Above the screen you can see the 8 megapixel front camera; light and position sensors are also located here. On the right there is a dot LED that starts blinking when messages arrive, Email and so on.

On the right side you can see the power/lock button and the volume key. Slot for SIM card type microSIM, as well as card slot microSD memory posted below.

On the bottom edge of the tablet there is a microUSB port, as well as a microphone for making calls. The 3.5 mm jack for connecting headphones is located on the top edge.

I will also note two stereo speakers, which are located below and above.

On the back there is a camera without a flash, as well as the “HUAWEI” logo and the inscription “harman/kardon”.

In general, the MediaPad M3 Lite looks very stylish and interesting. There are no questions about the assembly, it is of high quality and reliable.

Stereo speakers and sound

id="sub4">

The MediaPad M3 Lite tablet received an audio system consisting of two stereo speakers. They are located on the upper and lower ends. Huawei states that Harman/Kardon specialists worked to improve the audio system in this model, and a separate AK4396 DAC manufactured by Asahi Kasei Microdevises is responsible for sound reproduction. Dynamic range is 125 dB, distortion is 106 dB.

There is a Smart Power Amplifier and SWS 2.0 surround sound function (best used without a headset).

In portrait orientation of the device, the bottom speaker acts as a subwoofer, and the top one serves to reproduce high frequencies. In landscape orientation, both speakers sound the same, but the stereo is more expanded.

The main advantage of stereo speakers is high volume. The speakers produce a wide range of midrange frequencies without whistling, wheezing or other delights. The volume of sound does not excite the imagination, but it is nobly felt both in music and when watching films. Don't expect a tablet to replace a boombox and amaze its owner with deep bass, because... mobile gadgets such miracles do not happen. However, the device plays many times better than other models even in a higher price category.

Screen. Graphics capabilities

id="sub5">

Huawei MediaPad M3 Lite is equipped with an 8-inch screen made using IPS technology without an air gap. The capacitive sensor supports up to 10 simultaneous touches. Resolution - 1920×1200 (283 ppi). Thanks to the aspect ratio, the display is perfect for watching movies, TV series and other videos.

The screen is bright, with vibrant colors. Viewing angles are maximum without purple and yellow tints. Automatic system Brightness control, which can also be enabled in options, worked reliably. But manual control is not the best in practice - the brightness levels are too large.

The tablet has a ClariVu chip, which is responsible for image transmission. There is also “Eye care mode” technology, when the screen turns into warm colors to reduce eye strain.

The picture on the display looks realistic, with high contrast. In complete darkness, the brightness can be reduced to a comfortable value. The mode with automatic brightness adjustment works adequately. There are no questions here.

If we talk about the sensitivity of the screen, it responds quickly to touches and recognizes gestures without problems.

Summing up the results of working with the Huawei MediaPad M3 Lite screen, I can say that it is very decent. There are no obvious shortcomings here.

Hardware platform: processor, memory, performance

id="sub6">

MediaPad M3 Lite is equipped with a 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 435 chip with an octa-core processor: 4 Cortex A53 cores with clock frequency up to 1.4 GHz + 4 Cortex A53 cores with a maximum frequency of 1.1 GHz. Graphics subsystem (GPU) - Adreno 505 450 MHz. There is 3 GB of RAM. Tablets with 16 and 32 GB flash memory are available for sale. You can expand the built-in memory using microSD cards. The device has a corresponding slot for this.

If we talk about the operation of the interface, then in most work scenarios I did not notice any glitches or slowdowns. The picture and transitions are smooth, launching applications is fast. Browser, video - here sometimes there are slowdowns and slowness. All this is related to the speed of the hardware used.

In 3DMark, the tablet scored about 9,900 and 600 points in the Ice Storm Unlimited and Fire Strike scenarios, in AnTuTu 5 and 6 - 39,000 and 46,000 points. The CPU cores are also not very encouraging. In the Geekbench 3 and 4 tests, the MediaPad M3 Lite could not even score 700 points in single-threaded performance; in the multi-threaded test, we get 3,200 and 2,900 points. The GFXBench result in the Manhattan Offscreen and T-Rex Offscreen runs was only about 8 and 17 fps, so it’s unlikely that you’ll be able to play comfortably on the MediaPad M3 Lite.

Communication capabilities

id="sub7">

The tablet supports everything modern networks communications: 2G/3G and 4G on Russian frequencies. The quality of signal reception is not satisfactory; the device confidently maintains communication indoors and does not lose the signal in areas of poor reception.

The device supports telephone calls via mobile network. To do this, it is more convenient to connect a headset and talk through it.

MediaPad M3 Lite can work with all modern wireless networks. Among them dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11 ac/b/g/n, Wi-Fi Direct, you can organize a wireless access point via Wi-Fi channels or Bluetooth. All modules work quickly and without failures.

Among the additional communication tools, it is worth noting GPS, A-GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou (standard cartography is built into the smartphone Google Maps). The navigation error radius during testing was about 10 meters, which is very little. The gadget copes well with the role of a navigator.

A fingerprint scanner is built into the central button below the screen. During my experiments, it recognized the fingerprint very well. The sensor can be used instead on-screen buttons Android, but not as convenient as we would like. IN third party applications The sensor is not supported, is it possible to hide/display the notification curtain and scroll through pictures in the gallery.

Duration of work

id="sub8">

The tablet has a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 7800 mAh. The tablet's battery life is good, but not outstanding. The battery capacity is average, and as a result the results are average. In continuous reading mode, the device worked for 14.5 hours, in video viewing mode - about 7 hours. This is already a good result, although not a record one.

With an average usage scenario (the Internet is turned on, browsing the Internet 3 hours a day, watching a movie for 2 hours a day, playing games for up to 30 minutes a day), the tablet worked for two days. These indicators are typical for many mid-level devices.

User Interface and Operating System

id="sub9">

MediaPad M3 Lite runs the original Android 7.0 operating system with Huawei's proprietary shell installed - EMUI 5.1.

All programs are displayed in one list on the main and adjacent screens.

In the settings of the MediaPad M3 Lite there is an option for eye protection (it is turned on only during reading - the amount of blue color decreases, that is, the picture becomes warmer).

Among preinstalled programs worth noting is the office from Microsoft, clients social networks, file manager, FM radio.

Any other programs on the tablet can be installed from the Google Play store.

Camera. Photo and video capabilities

id="sub10">

Huawei MediaPad M3 Lite is equipped with two cameras. Main - 8 megapixels, f/2.0, with autofocus. There is no flash. The camera is typical average. On the street at good lighting it takes high-quality pictures with a minimum of noise. But in difficult lighting, in rooms with difficult light, the photos turn out to be unrealistic.

The main camera of the smartphone can record video with sound. maximum resolution FullHD. The quality of the video can be rated as “C”. In good lighting, the videos look bright, without changes in light. Video looks a little blurry in low lighting conditions

I will also mention the front camera for selfies. It's 8 megapixels. The pictures come out very high quality.

The design of the camera app is similar to other Huawei products. Flicking to the right reveals available modes such as Panorama, HDR or Time Lapse. Swiping left provides access to options. The main interface looks neat, although some icons are too small for the large display.

Results

id="sub11">

The main conclusion that can be drawn based on the results of two weeks of testing is that the Huawei MediaPad M3 Lite 8.0 tablet is a kind of compromise between functionality and price. The manufacturer tried to offer an inexpensive tablet with maximum functions. And for the most part, he succeeded. Firstly, I was pleased with the high-quality 8-inch screen. The picture quality here is not bad, although it is inferior to the same MediaPad M3 8.0 in terms of resolution. Secondly, the device is compact and looks very impressive. Thirdly, the tablet produces high-quality and surround sound stereo sound. This is a definite plus for fans of watching movies and video clips. Fourthly, the presence of LTE support. This means that the tablet can be used outside of Wi-Fi.

The MediaPad M3 Lite 8.0 also has some disadvantages. Firstly, this is very average hardware in terms of performance. For basic tasks it will, of course, be sufficient. But when loading heavy promotional sites on the Internet, games with serious graphics, the interface will slow down. Also worth noting are the cameras. Both the main one and the front one - both take average quality pictures in good lighting. In difficult conditions, photos and videos are excellent. In addition, the tablet cannot boast of maximum autonomy.

To sum it up, the price of 17,000 rubles for the 16 GB version looks a little higher than one would expect. MediaPad M3 Lite 8.0 has a lot of competitors among the Chinese in the form of devices from Xiaomi, Lenovo, etc.

The Huawei MediaPad M3 Lite 8.0 model is quite popular. Excellent characteristics attract the attention of many potential buyers to it. Let's compose short review Huawei MediaPad M3 Lite 8.0, after reading which, evaluate the strengths and weak sides equipment and decide whether it will be a good solution or whether it makes sense to give preference to an analogue from another manufacturer. When compiling a review, we will try to use reviews from owners to be as objective as possible.

It’s worth noting right away - Huawei specifications MediaPad M3 Lite 8.0 allows us to call it, if not top-end, then at least outstanding:

  • Case materials: metal and plastic
  • Operating system: Android 7.0 + EMUI 5.1
  • Chipset: 8 cores, Qualcomm Snapdragon 435
  • RAM memory: 3 GB
  • Built-in memory: 16/32 GB

  • Battery: lithium polymer, non-removable, capacity 4800 mAh
  • Dimensions: 213x123x7.5 mm
  • Weight: 310 gr.

Equipment

Of course, if you do a review on the Huawei MediaPad M3 Lite 8.0 tablet that will answer all your questions, then you can’t help but talk about the package. It is quite standard - in addition to the device itself, you can find in the box Charger, USB cable for connecting to a computer, as well as AKG headphones H300 is of very high quality and can satisfy all the needs of the average user.

Appearance and dimensions

Externally, the tablet looks very presentable - the metal body immediately catches the eye, emphasizing the elegance and reliability of the device. Moreover, as mentioned above, the weight is only 310 grams - quite a bit for an eight-inch tablet. This is made possible by the use of high-quality alloys - strong, but very light. Finally, the dimensions of the device are 213x123x7.5 millimeters. Quite large, but at the same time thin, it will not disappoint even the most picky user.

Screen

Of course, the screen is strong point tablet. The eight-inch IPS display, with a resolution of 1920x1200 pixels, conveys any picture with incredible quality, allowing you to enjoy your favorite movies on the road, read, work with any applications or play.
It is worth mentioning separately the presence of a vision protection function - thanks to it, the eyes are less tired even during long-term work.

Cameras

The tablet is equipped with two cameras. An interesting solution - the developers decided to make both with the same resolution - 8 megapixels each. True, the rear, unlike the front, has an autofocus function. This decision can be called completely justified. The rear camera is most often used to photograph some objects. Well, the frontal one is used either to take pictures of yourself, or when communicating on Skype and other similar applications. That's why a high resolution will be an important advantage, while the lack of autofocus on the front camera is not at all critical.

operating system

The developers chose Android 7.0 as the operating system, which has proven itself well during active use. Every day more and more specialized applications are released for it, allowing you to fully use all the huge functionality. Many small innovations have made the OS even more convenient and functional than others previous versions. Thanks to the EMUI 5.1 shell, the speed of the tablet has been significantly increased.

Battery

Considering autonomous operation tablet computer, it is difficult to express an unambiguous opinion. On the one hand, the battery does not have as large a capacity as we would like - only 4800 mAh. This is quite enough to read books for 12 hours, watch movies for 9 hours, or work with very demanding applications for 5 hours. Judging by the reviews of the MediaPad M3 Lite 8.0 tablet, many owners would like more autonomy. However, on the other hand, the use of a small, lightweight battery of medium capacity can be called quite justified. After all, it is thanks to her that the device remains so compact and light. Yes, it would be possible to install a larger capacity battery while maintaining the excellent build quality of the tablet. But the weight of the device would have increased significantly, the price would have increased, and it would have been impossible to make it so thin.

Performance and memory

Of course, by these indicators the tablet is simply magnificent. The developers equipped it with an excellent 8-core Snapdragon processor 435 1400 MHz from Qualcomm, which has proven itself well. Such power will be quite enough to work with applications that are very resource-demanding.

The volume of built-in memory can be either 16 or 32 GB. Quite a lot, but some users will quickly fill these gigabytes with photos, movies, and applications. The creators have provided for this - the tablet works great with SD cards up to 128 gigabytes. Perhaps this will be enough for any owner, even the most picky.

The Adreno 505 video processor at 450 MHz makes the device even more popular - you can easily run even the most resource-demanding applications on the device, including the most modern games. When passing Antutu tests, the model scored 43,500 points, respectively.

It is important that the price-quality ratio of the tablet remains simply excellent. Its characteristics will impress any expert, but at the same time you can buy a Huawei MediaPad M3 Lite tablet within 15,000 rubles - cheaper than most devices of similar power.

Pros and cons of Huawei MediaPad M3 Lite 8.0

Before we summarize and complete the review, we list the main advantages and disadvantages of the tablet. To do this, we will study each forum where it is discussed, and also read the reviews of the owners.

The main advantages are:

  • high performance;
  • beautiful design;
  • the ability to use high-capacity memory cards;
  • LTE support;
  • high-strength metal case;
  • fast fingerprint scanner;
  • reliability in operation;
  • great stereo sound.

Surprisingly, with all this, the price of the Huawei MediaPad M3 Lite is not skyrocketed, which buyers must take into account when choosing a tablet.
The battery remains a controversial issue. Although, the compromise between compactness and capacity can be called very successful. It can also be difficult to find a case for it, but this cannot be called a drawback of the tablet itself.

Video review of Huawei MediaPad M3 Lite

Conclusion

Based on the results of the review, we can say that this is a very high-quality tablet that is definitely worth the money spent on it. Excellent characteristics and flexibility of settings will completely satisfy the owner. We hope that when Huawei review MediaPad M3 Lite 8.0 we were able to answer all your questions and help you choose a tablet.

However, it is quite cute, light and subtle.

Externally, it is a typical rectangle with smoothed corners. The bezels around the screen seem wide, but this is normal for a tablet - this will prevent you from accidentally pressing the display. The only thing that looks unusual is the metal frame; it is visible from the front and seems to border the device around the perimeter. An oval fingerprint scanner is visible at the bottom center. You can use it to control the tablet, but it's not very convenient: you have to either reach for it with your fingers or hold the tablet vertically to access the buttons within your finger's reach.

The back panel is a matte surface with the Huawei inscription and a camera eye on the top right. A separate interesting feature is four speakers, a pair on top and bottom. By the way, they seem to be separated from the center of the body by strips at the metal ends. If the tablet were completely metal, then we could say that these are inserts for antennas. But in this case, the entire back is made of plastic. So these stripes are most likely just for beauty. The tablet is assembled well, but still plays in the hand and bends if you press on it. During testing, the back of the device was slightly scratched, meaning its presentation was compromised after just a few weeks of use.

Huawei MediaPad M3 Lite 10 can be purchased in two colors - gray and gold.

Dimensions and weight - 4.2

Despite the large diagonal, the new MediaPad M3 Lite 10 is thin and quite light.

Performance - 3.4

The tablet works quite quickly in daily use, despite the chipset entry level. Sometimes it is not enough only for demanding games and heavy applications.

The tablet has an eight-core Qualcomm processor Snapdragon 435 (four cores at 1.1 GHz and four at 1.4 GHz) with Adreno 505 graphics and 3 GB of RAM. This is entry-level hardware, but it copes quite well with all tasks except heavy games. In daily use, the tablet does not slow down, but only if you do not start experimenting with multi-window mode and launch many applications.

In various benchmarks, the MediaPad M3 Lite 10 achieved moderate results:

  • SunSpider (browser speed) - 2034 ms, not very good, at the level of 2014-2015 tablets;
  • GeekBench 4 (processor test) - 2868 points, outperforms smartphones;
  • 3DMark Ice Storm Unlimited (graphics test) - 9884, comparable to .

Display - 4.3

The display of the Huawei MediaPad M3 Lite 10 is moderately bright and high-quality, although not the clearest and most accurate in terms of color reproduction.

The screen has an IPS matrix with Full HD resolution (1920×1080 pixels) and a pixel density of 224 per inch. It's pretty sharp for a tablet, although it does show some pixelation up close. The display has no features, like a special one protective glass or oleophobic coating.

The range of measured brightness turned out to be quite wide - from 2 to 404 cd/m2. Not bad, although in sunny weather you will still have to squint to read from the screen. The contrast turned out to be quite good, 860:1, comparable to . Color gamut is typical, 96% of sRGB. The color temperature is almost standard, but the color accuracy is a little let down. Of some features, we will highlight only the vision protection mode and manual setting color temperature.

Battery - 5.0

Huawei MediaPad M3 Lite 10 received fairly high scores in battery life tests. Slightly inferior to models like Apple iPad or Samsung Galaxy Tab S3, but not very much.

The tablet received a 6660 mAh battery. Not a bad figure, but for a 10-inch model it could have been more. MediaPad M3 Lite 10 lasted about 6 hours in games, slightly inferior. When watching a video at moderate brightness, it was just a little short of 12 hours, an hour more than iPad Pro. In idle mode (the screen is on at minimum brightness), the device lasts a little more than a day, about the same. The tablet can be praised for its high battery life, although this is largely due to the entry-level processor.

Huawei MediaPad M3 Lite 10 takes a very long time to charge, it takes about five hours.

Cameras - 5.0

The 8 and 8 MP cameras of the Huawei MediaPad M3 Lite 10 are good by tablet standards. But if you have at least an average one with you, then most likely it will take better pictures.

The camera interface looks the same as on most. That is, on the left you can pull out various shooting modes, and on the right - general shooting settings. From additional features We note the HDR mode, panorama shooting and audio notes. Interestingly, not even manual mode, which the small Huawei MediaPad M3 Lite 8 had. If we talk about the quality of shooting, it is quite typical for its resolution: with sufficient lighting, you can get a good side-by-side shot. But even during the day, photos are often noisy or overexposed. However, the HDR mode helps only a little. As for video, the tablet records Full HD video, but without tracking autofocus. In general, if you have a smartphone, it would be better to shoot with it.

But the 8 MP front camera already copes well with its tasks. So, she writes Full HD video (1920x1080 pixels) and takes good selfies. Although indoors they lose in terms of clarity, they come out no worse than on most smartphones. As befits a front camera, it received decorating filters. But now they are not divided into different categories, it is just one slider indicating the degree of decoration from zero to ten.

The Huawei MediaPad M3 Lite 10 has either 16 or 32 GB of internal memory. These are typical, average figures. Although a memory card slot will help you in case of shortage, you can add up to 128 GB.

Peculiarities

The MediaPad M3 Lite 10 isn't particularly unusual, but it does have its own quirks. For example, a system of four stereo speakers, an operating system and a user-friendly interface.

At first, the large number is a little confusing pre-installed applications, many of which cannot simply be deleted. Features include the pre-installed SwiftKey keyboard, the presence of separate audio and video players, as well as control of the tablet using a fingerprint scanner. It recognizes not only clicks, but also swipes. Another detail is the combination of on-screen buttons with a scanner. The problem is that the finger just reaches out to the scanner instead of the touch keys, and it’s not clear what to press at all. It’s good that the buttons on the display can be removed and only the scanner can be used.
