Huawei "MediaPad M5" (Wi-Fi model)

The company's MediaPad has several types depending on the class, and the M series is one of the top classes.The "MediaPad M3" (M4 does not exist), which is equivalent to the previous model, was released in the latter half of 2016 and became a new model after a long absence.

The announcement on May 10 was the 8.4 -inch "MediaPad M5" and the 10.8 -inch "Media Pad M5 Pro", as I wrote at the beginning.The former has Wi-Fi version and LTE version, and the latter is only Wi-Fi version.The former Wi-Fi version arrived at hand.I'm interested in how it changed in nearly two years.The main specifications are as follows.

SOC is Kirin 960.Cortex-A73 2.4GHz × 4 and Cortex-A53 1.8GHz × 4 octa core.The MediaPad M3 equivalent to the previous model was KIRIN 950 (A72 2.3GHz x 4, A53 1.8GHz x 4), so it was enhanced.The memory is 4GB and the storage is 32GB.The OS uses EMUI 8.0 based on Android 8.0.

The display is about 8.4 -inch 2,560x1,600 dot IPS panels that support touch.The network is IEEE 802.11ac compatible wireless LAN, Bluetooth 4.2.The LTE model is equipped with a nano SIM slot, and the corresponding band is as shown in the table.

Other interfaces are USB 2.0 Type-C (not compatible with DP-ALT MODE), 8 million pixels/2 million pixels, stereo speakers (HARMAN KARDON tuning), and built-in microphones.

The sound also supports high -resolution (playback with the built -in music app).3.5mm headphone jack is not installed and a USB Type-C to 3.5mm headphone jack adapter is included.3.5mm headphone jacking is not compatible, but it is quite painful personally.

The positioning method is GPS, AGPS (LTE model only), GLONASS, BDS.The sensor is equipped with fingerprint authentication, acceleration, illuminance, electronic compass, hall and gyro.

With a built -in 5,100mAh battery compatible with quick charging (9V/2A), the size is about 124.8 x 212.6 x 7.3mm (width x depth x height) and weighs about 320g.Color variations are only space gray.The price excluding tax is 37,800 yen for the Wi-Fi model and 45,800 yen for the LTE model.

The previous model was 31,980 yen/37,800 yen, and although the SoC was powered up, the panel, memory, and storage did not change, to 12 million pixels on the back camera, 3.5mm headphone jack was not installed.

In addition, the price of the Wi-Fi model is the same as the new iPad 32GB/Wi-Fi model, and the panel size is different, so the application seems to be slightly different, but the price has been aligned.

前面。パネル中央上に800万画素前面カメラ、中央下に指紋センサー。ナビボタンはデフォルトではソフトウェア式背面。色はメタリックな濃いシルバー。左上に1,200万画素背面カメラ。左側面/下側面。下側面にUSB Type-Cとスピーカー用のスリット右側面/上側面。右側面に音量±ボタンと電源ボタン。上側面にスピーカー用のスリットmicroSDカードスロット指紋センサー。設定/システム/システムナビゲーションで、Home/戻るなどの機能を持たすこともできる付属品。イジェクトピン、USBケーブル、USB式ACアダプタ、USB Type-C to 3.5mmヘッドフォンジャックアダプタ。USB式ACアダプタは貸出機で海外仕様のプラグになっている。イジェクトピンは付属するものの実質意味はない重量は実測で322g

The housing is a dark silver with a metallic back, and the front is black.MediaPad M3 was white (Mediapad M5 Pro is white).

Despite the use of 2.5D curved glass, the appearance is a common tablet.At the vertical position, holding both sides with one hand is quite last.Even if you keep one side, 322G is quite painful.

The front is 8 million pixel front cameras on the center of the panel, and a fingerprint sensor in the center.The navigation button is a software type by default.The back is 12 million pixel back cameras on the upper left.USB Type-C and slit for speakers on the lower side.On the right side, the volume ± button and the power button.A slit for speakers is placed on the upper side.As for the camera, please refer to it later.

Accessories include Eject Pin, USB cable, USB AC adapter, USB Type-C to 3.5mm headphone jack adapter.The AC adapter in the photo has an overseas specification of the plug because of the evaluation version.

Approximately 8.4 -inch WQXGA/2,560x1,600 dots IPS panels are all good, color development, contrast, brightness, viewing angle.The color gamut and color temperature can be changed in the setting/screen/color mode described later.The touch reaction is smooth.

The "Clarivu", which optimizes the display according to the content, was not clear because there was nothing to compare.The fingerprint sensor is a little painful because the height is narrow, but once it is registered, it recognizes instantly.

There is no vibration or noise.The fever did not occur in particular in the test range.In the sound, the speakers are placed on the left and right at the side position, and the sound is noisy, as well as stereo feeling.In addition, it sounds good and the sound is good, indicating the effect of HARMAN KARDON tuning.

音楽アプリHuawei Histenサウンド効果

The way of ringing with earphones is the same system as the speaker, and switching from speakers to earphones does not feel uncomfortable.In addition, the Huawei Histen sound effect can also adjust the favorite tone and the left and right distance = 3D audio (exclusive from equalizer).

In any case, the sound -related is a pretty good one I've been reviewing so far.Not only the music, but also the panels are beautiful, so you can enjoy videos enough.
