Let's go with one more comparison, but dedicated in this case to the MediaPad T5 10, the more affordable of the two new tablets of Huawei. The review of the differences with its successor, the MediaPad T3 10, is especially interesting because the evolution has been remarkable, with a few improvements that move the new model more clearly from the basic range.
Design improvements
La MediaPad T3 10 It was already one of the few that could boast of a metal casing among the basic-mid-range tablets, but its successor has gone a step further and now also comes with fingerprint reader. We do not know if other tablets will catch up in the future, but for now the MediaPad T5 10 It is clearly established as the best option in terms of design among tablets in its price range, with features that are not usually found except among much more expensive tablets.
Larger screen with higher resolution
Not only have there been some design improvements, but it can also be seen that it has also increased in size, but it must be taken into account that this is because its screen is larger: although it did not use the 4: 3 format of the iPad, the MediaPad T3 10 actually had a screen also of 9.6 inches, that is, half an inch less than those offered by the MediaPad T5 10, which already reaches the most common 10.1 inches. And not only that, but it has increased its resolution significantly, going from HD (1280 x 800) to Full HD (1920 x 1200).
Best processor
Along with the improvements that we find in the screen section, we would say that the most important thing to tip the balance in favor of the new model, even if it means waiting and paying something more, is the processor, because the difference in performance that the Kirin 659 (eight cores and 2,36 GHz frequency) versus Snapdragon 435 (eight cores and 1,4 GHz maximum frequency) should be remarkable, especially in the most demanding tasks (games, for example).
Android Oreo
Although with the MediaPad T3 10 we already had Android Nougat and this was an important advantage over other tablets of its level (some, older, still run Android Marshmallow, without a split screen), taking into account that tablets do not usually receive many updates, it is always interesting to get the most up-to-date possible starting point, and with the MediaPad T5 10 let's enjoy now Android Oreo.
Price
La MediaPad T5 10 will have the same starting price as the MediaPad T3 10, $200, and it is worth noting that this time we will have the option of getting more RAM and storage capacity (3 and 32 GB, respectively) for only MÃ ¡s 30 euros, a possibility that we would recommend that you take into account. The advantages of the new model, in general, seem to us that they are well worth waiting and paying a little more, but for users on more occasions, it should be noted that the old model is being greatly reduced lately, even below the $150 on Amazon.
