Despite its name, the Huawei MediaPad T3 10 is actually not a real 10-inch tablet. In fact, it’s just a bit smaller at 9.6-inches. Thanks to its low price the MediaPad T3 10 is an entry level tablet. Even though the specifications are not the best, it should be powerful enough for most people. Let’s go through all the details about this tablet.

Very low price
Android 7.0 Nougat with Emotion UI 5.1
Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 SoC with 2GB to 3GB RAM
9.6-inch IPS HD display

The Basics

As you might expect from a cheaper tablet, the Huawei MediaPad T3 10 is mostly made out of plastic. That’s fine though because the built quality is not bad at all. Sadly, the tablet is lacking a couple of premium features like a fingerprint reader. We are getting a microSD card slot though. On the back is a 5-megapixe camera and the front camera has a resolution of 2-megapixel.

The screen of the tablet has a diagonal of 9.6-inches and an aspect ratio of 16:10. Like most competitors of this class, it does not have a full HD resolution. Instead we’re getting an HD display with 1280 x 800 pixel.

Inside runs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 SoC. It is a quad-core processor with all four cores clocked at 1.4GHz. In addition to that, the MediaPad T3 packs 2GB to 3GB of RAM and 16GB to 32GB of internal storage. While the Snapdragon 425 is not the fastest chip out there, it should be fine for web browsing, watching videos and some light gaming.

Even though the Huawei MediaPad T3 10 is inexpensive, it is shipping with Android 7.0 Nougat. As usual, on top of it runs the Emotion UI in version 5.1. That’s the customized interface from Huawei. It does support most native Android features but there are tons of apps preinstalled.

The Huawei MediaPad T3 10 is a very decent tablet. It offers a good build quality, a solid performance and fairly recent Android 7.0 Nougat. It's battery life is kind of weak though and the 9.6-inch display should have a higher resolution.
