Nice one and I'm keeping an eye out for this.

BTW, TS, it's "slimmest", not "slimmer"

The SoC will likely be comparable to an S600 I guess. There's a Kirin 920 that can handle 4K recording. This is the 910, that doesn't have it.

Oh well....since "Slimmest" is already superlative, there isn't a need for "Most" either.

The correct sentence is "The Slimmest....."

Back to topic before mods warn me, if this comes over at an affordable price, it will be a good consideration since it will be much cheaper than an equivalently specced Samsung. The build materials are also very nice in the tradition of the first Mediapad.

Saw and played with this baby during the Huawei event today. Approx 30 people attended. Met uncle Benny and a couple of other mods.

OMG it's a really sexy piece of kit. It could even fit in my shirt breast pocket !!!

The screen is fantastic, performance is smooth, and Asphalt 8 was nicely playable. Expected availability in July.

Love its nice tactile back panel, and totally flat surfaces both front and back. Everyone present was playing with it.

I'm sorely tempted to get this now.

And Huawei has a really nice line up coming this year.

How can a hands on session tell you anything about battery life?

I didn't visit any HTML5 sites.

The demo unit at the event had no SIM but we were told that it is an LTE unit. No pricing announced. I guess stay tuned for the July launch.

It could fit in my slim jeans front pocket and I could bend my leg. In fact it fit my shirt pocket. It's definitely pocketable but might run the risk of cracking when you squat.

That price from lelong is incredibly tempting.

Gratz for your new upcoming toy. Please do a review for us

Samsung is only giving 1280x720 or 1280x800 in their Tab range. And it's pricier. That sucks.

Great ! I wonder if the official price would be equal to the price in lelong.

LTE is a feelgood factor to some but it will be really nice since it will be a bit more futureproof.

I guess if the delta is about rm200 it will be totally worth it. I'm also holding out for LTE when it is available.

This looks like the same problem affecting the honor 3C. Could it be a rom problem with huawei?

Ooh...10 June!.... RM 1199 ?

The first mediapad retailed for 1399, then quite quickly became 1299 and it stayed there for a long while.

I got mine used off a forumer for 800 after 5 months.

The article says "teased 2 more device" .... so perhaps they are launching the whole range.

Same as the original Mediapad.

Do share your experience with it.

This one vs XZ Ultra will be a tough choice for some. However I am of the opinion that in the long run the X1 is more maintenable than any make.believe device.

Well, XZU price is now around 13xx to 14xx from DD or SatuGadget I think, so it's not a big margin now.

XZU can't compare with the Tabs as those are mid to low end specs, except maybe for the Tab Pros but size is also way different.

Anyone have any news on the launch today?

Any capacitive stylus will work for all capacitive screens. Not known whether a Jot would work better though.
