Huawei MediaPad T5 Deals & Offers

That deal has unfortunately expired, it was this: https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/huawei-mediapad-t5-101-inches-black-32gb-ps7631delivered-at-amazon-3729171 Edit: 2 available here currently for £90: https://www.elekdirect.co.uk/product/huawei-mediapad-t5-10-1-inch-32gb-tablet-black-53011pbv-h49/

Can I ask where your deal is from as I'm interested .much appreciated.

Yes, true quite a few companies lock that down, which is a shame. On this particular model, you can specify the default storage location as 'SD Card' which helps if you like to have a lot of things......always set that up from day one. At the time of writing, there are two 'used acceptable' ones available for £80 delivered, great price. I already have two with LTE and can't fault them at that price point. Don't be fooled by trolls who expect bluetooth 5, wireless charging and 2k screen at this price (lol)

Another downside is if you run out of storage, you can't transfer apps to an sd card or if they transfer, they will not work. You can transfer movies or pictures. However, this applies to all Huawei tablets as far as I'm aware. That's the reason I've gone with a Lenovo FHD instead which comes with a newer Android and USB C. I lose the HD feature with Netflix but I don't need it anyway.

Micro USB (zombie)

Is it still worth it buying in 2021 at this price?

As well there is no easy/safe option to unlock bootloader. I bought m5 10.8" two years ago at this price and stucked on android 9 and is ok but next time i will buy chromebook like a lenovo duet.

No bothered about it being on android 8, have the 3GB version, great tablet. One of the few tablets that can play Netflix in Full HD: https://9to5google.com/2019/05/31/netflix-hd-pixel-2-pixel-3-oneplus-7-pro/

You got the 3gb or 4gb version? Also, strange thing about Amazon, seems every time I go on here (minutes apart) it's a different price. (flirt)

AndroidTM 8.0 and EMUI 8.0 (whatever EMUI 8.0 is)

Ask for it to be investigated. Did you ask for compensation? Happened to me before. Nominated day should mean it's allocated to you (like when you S&S), but never is guaranteed. Always next day it for bargains or price errors. As above, ask for compensation.

I ordered when several showing in stock using Amazon Day delivery. Didn't arrive, got an email after the due day saying out of stock, no more expected and cancelled. That's a lesson never to ever use Amazon Day delivery I guess.

Ouch..now that's sad to know. I hope you get it.

Mine went missing in the post 😩

I got told to return it also. Might be linked to that they refunded me earlier this month around £35 on the R35 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner Stick as it was missing a magnetic wet. Might have to wait and try again next month :)

Still not convinced paying more for less for the A7 as per comments above :(

The tab A7 can regularly be had for not much more than this, either refurb or brand new if you keep an eye out for discount codes that regularly appear.

Owned one of these for a couple months and personally found it an ergonomic catastrophe. Just never felt you were holding it in the right position as a the buttons never felt naturally placed along with camera etc. Speakers were good but compared to even very old ipads this just felt an unpleasant user experience

Yeah and at least £40 dearer.

I bought the 4gb version off eBay for crazy cheap from a private buyer, can confirm the speakers in this are crazy good. Never experienced such great sound from a portable device. This makes it great for watching TV and YouTube and stuff in the kitchen.

the tablet start calling you by name :D

Yeh you can be on to something there mate! (lol)

How would you know if they had?

I must be quite an insignificant person as they haven't bothered hacking me.

Dunno. Bought mine 15 months ago. Although it's stuck on Oreo that's not an issue as all my apps work ok and it still gets security updates.

Buy the Alldocube iplay 40 you won't regret it. I've just received mine a few days ago.... Super fluid and smooth, puts all these high end tablets to shame!

No offence taken. It's all a matter of opinion and yours is at least as valid as mine.

No offence but I don't think any of them match or better specs of this tablet at this price, except being a later Android version.

Look at the Samsung galaxy range, lenovo and newer Huawei like the mediapad 10.4 which won't have Google services but there's lots of workarounds.

What recent tablet would be better for the money?
