Huawei MediaPad T5 Deals & Offers

Android update is the the most important element, all it gives you are new features (that you might not need), hence a lot of old Android phones or tablets still works. What's important maybe is the security updates. I don't believe there's an Android 11 tablet out there at the moment, but like I've said, it's mainly new features that I can live without.

Thanks for sharing - seeing this, definitely worth the extra £10 - better cameras, speakers, fingerprint sensor, much bigger battery, USB-C...

Yes, but the Lenovo comes with 9 or 10, while this one is 8. Not only this, may be a while for the Lenovo to update, while we know for sure this one will not get an update, will stay on 8 forever.

Problem is that Lenovo is even worse when it comes to updates. Used to have tab 4 8 plus the (released on 02/2017) which stuck on android 8 (or 9, can't remember really) and security update from ages ago.

It depends of your kids age too. My son is still with Android 7 and he's fine with this. My tablet, 1 year old, on Android 9 and I'm fine with this too. My phone is Android 8, well tomorrow the new phone will be Android 11, but so far I was able to find anything I wanted on Android 8. Yes, the newer the better, but don't expect to see Android 11 on most tablet soon. Android 8 is a bit old, but 9 is not bad. If you're looking at a newer model, with the latest, or a more recent Android, you'll pay more. It may worth, for the age of my kids, this tablet is more than enough. But lack of further updates is a big issue IMO. You'll have to look at a different brand. Perhaps Lenovo M10 Plus can be an option. But some older models are better than new ones.

Music magpie they had an extra 10 % for trade in price

Where did you do the trade in?

Does this have a HDMI out port on it? If not can anyone recommend a tablet with a HDMI port on it. Need something for streaming video to a projector..... Any help or advise welcome

Tablet arrived today looks good, as only going to use for browsing and media . Plenty fast enough for that. Traded in an iPad air2 and got this very happy with my choice

So, what is better with regards to performance, specs, updates etc. This T5 or the Mediapad M5 Lite, when its back in stock at JL?? https://www.johnlewis.com/huawei-mediapad-m5-lite-10-tablet-android-kirin-659-3gb-ram-32gb-emmc-10-1-inch-grey/p3747209 Edit - Just answered my own question with a handy compare tickbox on the Huawei website. M5 Lite it is then!!

Expire now, thanks

Code no longer appears to be working?

This is one of the last Huawei tablet to have Google services. Plus Widewine L1/Netflix certified which means HD content on all streaming services (y)

how does this compare to the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 thank you

Thanks

It does but beware, I am already finding that being stuck on Android 8 is a limiting factor. Quite a few of the apps that I am used to having on my phone won't install on this. And, of course, this problem will just get worse. I know that there are probably ways around this using apks or rooting the device but some of us don't want that sort of hassle. So, a nice device but already well on the way to being obsolete.

Aaaaaaaarrrgh! In the hunt for new tablets for my 3 goblins. They currently have Huawei's which have been great, but the probable/potential lack of Google Play support in the future is really putting me off. I've been comparing these with Samsungs, but the Samsung never seem to get near the same specs for the same price! (A7 tab being only 3GB RAM and 32GB ROM for £10 more). Are Samsung likely to have same spec tablets reduced come January?

The Tab A 10.1 is a brilliant tablet.

yes

Better buy than the samsung tab A 10.1"

Oh I know, my wife used to be with HSBC and had no end of problems with them (customer services) and their app. It was a just more of a warning (y)

Don't use the HSBC app as a benchmark, that one does not work even on the highest specs. Whoever built B&Q or Argos website, built the HSBC app too, one more useless than the other :D

Be careful buying one of these. We got one for my mother in law as her eye sight wasn't as good as it used to be. She used it for her online banking but recently the HSBC app stopped working as it said it was no longer compatible with the device. Very annoying considering we only got it during the summer.

Not bad, but 2GB RAM and 16GB storage is not great for this price. Decent tablet, but maybe for £90-100. I didn't vote.

Ok, thanks for your comments. I took the plunge and got oneas I would only use it for browsing on the sofa or watching films downloadedonto a microSD card.

Expired, sorry

speakers back in stock but the code isn't working

I have one and rate it. It has an old version of Android, but security updates appear occasionally.

Great deal op. If I hadn't had bought the Lenovo M10 plus with similar specs, I would have got this!

Very good deal here @Tacavas (y)
