Gotten it from Huawei store Mid Valley. There's no gamepad as gift which i wonder why?

Anyway, i'm not a gamer but it's always good to have gift. Anyone can confirm if the gift is part of Huawei bundle or distributor/shop bundles?

Still setting up my very first Android tablet.

Default factory version: SHT-AL09 8.0.0.153(C636), no update available.

Wow phone in lazada having quite a good deal.
Bluetooth headset from huawei, a not so sure Huawei Bluetooth speaker and a huawei quick charge powerbank.

I presume u bought the 8.4 version as 10 inch version next week....
Share ur review! Thanks....

Great! Share ur view. Thanks.
Going for the 10 pro.

Overall the tablet is smooth. Nice screen but the main issue is the OS itself. It's not optimized for Tablet for sure unlike iPad. I feel like using a gigantic phone screen at the moment.

Watching video is perfect... love it... sound quality is great as well!

what do u mean?

Should be all applications are phone app. Not like ipad got seperate applications layout

Yeah, this morning i also bought 1 gold color from Huawei Queensbay.. no gamepad, no free gift as well...
I believe the free gift gamepad only for huawei online store - Lazada

Yes, the applications are not optimized for Tablet screen.

Have you gotten any accessories? Need to get a cover at least. I'll be traveling tonight so have to use naked tablet for 1 week at least...

Quite a lot of resellers on Lazada is now selling M5, with a variety of free gifts to choose from.

i sent a Q&A to Huawei to ask if they still selling the M5 batch with shared Bluetooth and WiFi antenna, and they chose not to respond.
I suppose the no-response is tell-tale.
Guess I should wait for Samsung Tab S4 coming next month bah.

I will perform a test when i get back home.


Connect BT Keyboard + 2.4GHz Wifi - So I assume my download will go very slow right?

Connect BT Keyboard + 5GHz Wifi - Re-Test with 1GB file.

Thanks!!
If u have a BT earpiece, the simplest way would be to stream YouTube/Netflix on 2.4GHz WiFi and listen to the audio via the BT earpieces.
Cuz BT keyboard, the signal is not continuous, may not observe the issue due to buffering.

I have one... Will test it and report

I just asked at huawei one utama, got many kind of huawei store in malaysia.

Zitron warranty huawei store, official, will give game pad, however stock arrive est. 21st july.

No problem with WiFi and BT together.

Watch 1080p YouTube with BT earphone. No buffering neither sound issue.

Speedtest download upload with Spotify streaming to BT Earphone. No issue.

Tested 2.4 m 5ghz WiFi

Wow, that is nice to know!
I wonder how huawei manage to solve the problem of shared antenna? Technically possible by software tweak?

No idea, I've even tried to hold it with different position but it didn't affect the performance.

position should not affect this issue.
but the bitrate of your streaming (over WiFi and over BT), will affect.
Some users mention that low bitrate YouTube will not feel anything, but high resolution setting in NetFlix over 2.4 GHz, will be affected by the BT.
Prob u need to test for 10 mins?

To all buyer and potential buyer:- what's the reason to get this over ipad 2018? Kirin 960 with android vs A10 chip with IOs

seriously??

hardware wise, prob Huawei cannot match ipad - huawei even refuse to acknowledge its flawed design which cause massive return in USA and EU (pls google in amazon)
price wise, huawei is cheaper becuz of outdated hardware.
software, i presume iOS has better stability (i have not used iOS for long - someone pls help me vet this point)
service, i suppose apple also better.

however, ipad:
1. dun have expansion slot for microSD
2. dun have file explorer
3. very troublesome to transfer files - most of the time, u need to install iTunes on ur pc to facilitate the transfer.
4. after the antenna gate, battery gate, xxx gates... u still need to ask?

Cost, customisable, great speakers.
I owned an ipad Mini 4, but nothing much can be done when want to have 3rd party app and customisation natively.
