Hands-on review: MWC 2014: Huawei MediaPad M1

For Affordable 4G connectivity Charges other devices Against Average screen quality Emotion UI average Sluggish at times

Huawei hasn't really been in the tablet game for the past 18 months, but it's now looking to take on the budget end of the market.

The Chinese firm has been holding back on its tablet assault, waiting for 4G to take hold in more countries, and now that it has we're getting the MediaPad M1 as well as the 7-inch MediaPad X1.

Back to the MediaPad M1 and the 8-inch tablet is set to arrive in stores in May (with the choice of white or grey), featuring a not-too-shabby price tag of around £250 (about $415, AU$460).

For that you're treated to a relatively average 1280 x 800 display, 1.6GHz quad-core processor and a surprisingly lowly 768MB of RAM.
