Hi everyone, need your advice on which tablet with keyboard i should get.
My usage : YouTube, movies, gaming, work(ppt, word), phonecalls

Im considering to get the m5 pro, my budget is 1.8k. Or should i just wait for the m6. When will it come out, and price wise for m6? Does m6 have keyboard as well? Im wondering is it best to save cash by getting the m5pro or might as well pay more and wait for the m6 and have better specs..i have also just looked at other brands like samsung S5e, mi pad 4..its getting confusing to choose from, on one hand the specs of huawei is great but m5 no jack, m6 no fingerprint...mi pad & galaxy tab s5e has its own specs with the price.. suggestions please ?



Thank you

Ipad is a better tablet IMO, pretty much better in every way, whereas android tabs are just oversized phones.
As for making calls, ipad if u own an iPhone, u can make phone calls via Facetime, which koneks with ur phone to make the call.

I am also waiting for the huashi m6 & samsung tab s6 to be launched here to see how much it cost.

If you can wait, then why not get the newer models?

As for keyboards, if the brand does not have, not to worry as many 3rd party supplies are on Lazard’s anytime

What makes you think iPad is very hard to use?

iPad's UI in fact is very user friendly, everything is straight forward, plus tablet experience on iPad way better than any Android tablet.

I would stay away from Huawei. I have the M5 Pro and I regretted. The pen fell a few times and the pen broke and they do not sell replacements.

I use it predominantly for work and I use OneNote a lot.

For tablet with a Pen, you can get a decent Samsung Tab S4 used. New it was 3K. Now you can get one for half the price. Pair it with a lazada Bluetooth key board at rm100 more.

You get the Snapdragon 835 , a much better performer then the newer lower ranged 2019 Tab A with S Pen at 1k.

You to try S5e and S6 demo sets first. Turn the Dex Mode on. You can compare with other tablets which multitasking is easier/convenient for you.

For me, I went for S6 for no second thought. Because of SD855, Dex Mode, slim body and loud quad speakers.

The corona virus is disrupting a lot of activities in affected countries. In the news it is very clear that not everyone can be tested. The funds needed to tackle the corona virus is high so I guess this is what has led to this happening. More money needs to be applied to some place else.

Samsung products are really good. I am not vouching for them but all my life I have known samsung to make the most powerful phones. Their phones last long and barely crash or heat up like other phones I know of but wont mention. Any samsung tablet as long as it has all the specs you need will be alright for you.
