Huawei Tablet Deals & Offers

US ban on Huawei doing business with any company trading in the US because of Huawei's links with the Chinese Government.

AIUI basically Donald Trump got in a tizzy over Huawei and banned US companies from trading with them because of their links to, well ownership by supposedly, the Chinese Communist Party and People's Liberation Army. So Google can't licence them their services, hence why it only has the open source version of Android, and no GApps - Gmail, Play Store, Google Photos etc. You can sideload GApps I presume, but I don't know if everything then works hunky dory after.

Why are Google services not integrated on this tablet. Surely cheapo tablets have this

Agreed Nw104hh. 2GB totally kills it for me. This isn't 2015....

Can you install google store on this tablet?

Doesn’t sound like it’s currently on offer. Must be the wfh rush :/

Close to £40 on Amazon?

Yes, the price reflects that. As you say, depends what demands and expectations you have. 5 year old manages to play whatever games he wishes with it and has all his Google classroom work with it. Links to the wireless printer perfectly. Able to take photos of his work to submit. It's handy for his needs, apart from issue with the mic which we've remedied with a Bluetooth headset.

Is it me? But says free delivery but than charges £5? At checkout

I suppose it's a matter of expectations and what you've had before. If you're coming from something older but more premium it will just be the same generally speaking, but for those wanting a cheap tablet so the kids don't use the iPad, they're probably still going to go for your iPad

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.

Got my replacement today and it's loads better - happy I arranged an exchange instead of a return :)

Same here, it's cool.

Ordered blue version, looks the biz (y)

Received mine a couple of days ago. I've checked on a white background, looks uniform to me. Perhaps you've been unlucky enough to get a duff one, sure you'll get it sorted, I think Huawei have pretty good cs.

This one fits like a glove on mine and as auto sleep and auto wake function.
