14 DAY TRIAL // Huawei has just announced that three of its best Android tablets will be available for purchase in the United States, the MediaPad M2, MediaPad M3 and MediaPad T1. For the time being, just the MediaPad M3 and T1 have been released and can be purchased, but the M2 will arrive in December as well.
Until then, customers can order the MediaPad T1 7 for $99 or the T1 10, which costs $159. The MediaPad M3 is more expensive, so you'll have to pay $299 outright.
The low-budget MediaPad T series includes two variations of the T1, but it's not just the size of the display that's different. For example, the MediaPad T1 7 sports a 7-inch ONCELL display that supports 600 x 1024 pixel resolution and packs a 1.2GHz quad-core Spreadtrum CPU, along with 1GB RAM and 8GB storage.
On the other hand, the T1 10 features a 9.6-inch display that supports 1280 x 800 pixel resolution. It's powered by a 1.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, coupled with 1GB RAM and 8GB of internal memory. Both tablets come with microSD card slot.
It's also worth mentioning that the T1 7 variant ships with Android 4.4.2 KitKat, while the T1 10 runs Android 4.4.4 KitKat.
Obviously, the best of the three is the MediaPad M3, which ships with the much newer Android 6.0 Marshmallow operating system right out of the box.
The tablet sports an 8.4-inch display with 2560 x 1600 pixel resolution, which features an 82% screen-to-body ratio. It packs a much better 1.8GHz octa-core Kirin processor, complemented by 4GB of RAM and 32GB of storage.
The M3 is powered by a 5,100 mAh battery and comes with two 8-megapixel cameras, one in the front and one in the back. There's also a fingerprint sensor inside and a very good Super Wide Sound 3.0 audio technology.
