iPad Alternative for Movie Worshipers

Reports of the tablet's death are highly exaggerated. Although the pill market is barely growing, the device is still used intensively. As smartphones change to an annual rate, the tablet lasts much longer than PC and once replaced laptops broadcast news.

Hence, almost all manufacturers have adapted their liberation cycles to the circumstances, and they only publish new models at irregular intervals. Numerous producers use this to pressure the Apple market leader with new models.

One of these challengers is the Chinese group Huawei, who has been one of the world's three biggest smartphone producers for several years. This position is also targeted in the tablet market. According to IDC, they share fourth place along with Lenovo, but due to rapid growth, this is unlikely to stay that way for a long time. In the second quarter of 2017 alone, 42 percent more tablets were sold than last year.

The latest challenger: MediaPad M3 Lite 10, which is said to be at a price of 299 euros, especially Apple's first level tablet, iPad, dangerous. The next area has tried the tablet with speaker Hartman Cardon.

DESIGN

# Throw that iPad #

MediaPad M3 relies on a solid aluminum frame and a plastic back. Although the back is smooth, the material is relatively dehydrated by melting, making it comfortable. With a thickness of 7.1 millimeters, it's almost half a millimeter smaller than the current iPad and despite a larger (.1 inch) screen versus 9.7 inch) evidently easier than the current iPad vs. 469 grams). Work is of high quality, especially the almost unstable transition from plastic back into the aluminum frame has become good. Although the screen glass extends slightly beyond the frame, this is not visible.

The case is built relatively rigid, not under millimeter pressure. There's only one touch of integrated fingerprint sensor near the front camera. The volume changer and power buttons were placed on the right side (when the tablet is in the landscape) and are also made of aluminum. The device is easy to keep in view of useful support and relatively broad framework. Nice idea, but moderately implemented: Green Light News LED is hard to see in white context.

The fingerprint sensor, on the other hand, works very well, usually reveals fingerprints stored in less than a second. As with Huawei P10, touch sensor can also be used to replace software. The pressure is simply backed, the longest holding takes the user to the main screen. Cleaning up the page will also open Task Manager. Since the fingerprint sensor is placed in the lowest frame (when viewed in the landscape regime), it can easily be achieved, especially in the portrait format. In the landscape regime, you always have to keep the tablet together while holding your finger in your sensor.

Good Screen

The 10.1-inch LC display with the SPI panel with high-lighted lighting and depending on the angle of sight. Even from steep angles of sight, the content of the screen was good and distinctive without significant color distortions. So, for example, you can easily watch a movie together in bed without having to pull too close. In terms of the brightness and contrast of color, the screen has yet to challenge the AMOLED panels by Samsung and LG, but you can easily fix color temperature according to your needs through quality.

The 1920 resolution with 1200 pixels lags behind compared to other tablets, but usually enough. The 16:10 screen report ensures that most movies and series appear in a narrow black bar.

Integrated speakers, who have developed in collaboration with hi-fi-Man Cardon producer, are impressive for a tablet at this price. Instead of using just two stereo speakers, such as many other producers, two loudspeakers have been installed on the upper and the upper side. These drown each previously tested speaker and produce a volume that can also be used to watch a film on a moving subway.
The quality of reproduction is also excellent and clear. In the maximum volume alone, they placed high notes that sounded a little small. Unfortunately, Huawei does not offer a software equality that can manually regulate reproduction. The surrounding sound is also particularly appropriate, thanks to which the use of integrated speakers instead of headphones is a preferred movie. The reproduction is also appropriate if the tablet is kept in portrait or landscape orientation. Reproduction of music is also positive, even if the speaker here cannot play as hard as in the content of the video.

Med in Game

Huawei still relies on Android 7.0 for Mediapad M3 Lite 10, the latest security update dates back to August. An update on Android 8.0 has not yet been announced, but is likely to follow. Even the interfeits inside Android The EMUI is still on the date with the 5.1 version and gives up many of the innovations presented with Matthew 10 Pro. The software was minimally adapted only to the tablet, in principle, this could hardly distinguish from the surface of smartphone. Unlike smartphones Mate, Huawei has not integrated any specific equipment aid devices.

AndroBench 5 (read / sequenceal writings), 145.56 / 60.1 MB / S
AnTutu (v6.2.7): 46,736 points
3D Mark (Sling Shot Extreme, v2.0): 320 points
PCMark (v2.0): 3677 points

The table contains a Qualcomm Snapdragon 435, a low-powered SoC, with energy savings and three memory gigabibits.

Performance in everyday life is very good: Android can be used fluently, with a rapid change of apps or pages not visible. The internal memory installed 32 gigabbits marked it in very average results. With a reading speed of about 150 MB/s, maybe it shouldn't be a UFS memory. If requested, memory can also be extended through the microSD card.

While the quadrator does a good job, you must sacrifice some graphic performance. Although the GPU built by Adreno 505 is enough for many current games, it usually has to reduce the graphic details to function well. Now and then there were stutterings, which upset the course of the game, especially in racing games. Most of the simple games without elaborate animations, but they could play easily.

The battery proved to be continuous on the test: With a daily use of about two hours, the 6600 mm of batteries should be refueled in just five days. Unfortunately, Huawei uses a micro-connector O U n SB instead of ordinary connectors USB-C. Quick load should be removed at the moment.

Eight megapixels before and behind
Both fronts and main cameras solve each with eight megapixels and create for a respectable film of tablets. As a compact camera replacement, the tablet device is still not good. Autofocus often lags behind and takes about two seconds to find the right location. Also, optics were not too bright, so records in light light light light conditions degeneration because of ISO's high value for grim presentations.

Similar problems must be faced with video registration, which is possible in Resolution 1080p by up to 30 frames per second. The camera is essentially enough to shoot presentations and documents, but we must expect nothing more.

DONATION

For suitable movies

If you, like me, use the tablet primarily for Netflix, YouTube and Amazon Prime Video, you'll find a perfect friend in Huawei MediaPad M3 Lite 10. Although the tablets can produce moderate results in 3D games and have a weak camera, it is suitable for video review thanks to its good screens and impressive speakers. Anyone who can do without the modem of LTE will save 50 euros, a little more weight and take more battery life. At a price of 299 euros is currently about 100 euros below the retail price of the current iPad.
