Huawei says the M5 is the world’s first 2.5D curved glass on a tablet, a 2K QHD display powered by ClariVu 5.0, and speakers tuned by Harman Kardon. Powered by Huawei’s own Kirin 960 Octa-core processor and EMUI 8.0, the M5’s runs on Android 8.0 and supports a microSD card of up to 256 GB for expanded capacity.
- The first tablets in the world to adopt a 2.5D curved glass display, the Huawei MediaPad M5 showcases a design that is not only elegant but practical. Slimmer and lighter, the curved metal body provides a high-quality feel and is more comfortable to hold even for extended periods of time.
- Huawei’s newest tablets feature a FullView 2560×1600 IPS HD display enhanced by ClariVu, a leading visual technology that boosts screen performance by up to 20 percent, making colors more vivid and contrasts more defined.
- With the 10.8-inch Huawei MediaPad M5, Huawei has transformed the Android OS to create a familiar Desktop View experience and improve work-related tasks. A taskbar has been added to the bottom of the screen, offering easy access to input tools and controls for Wi-Fi and battery – just like on a laptop.
