Huawei MatePad 5G
Huawei MatePad 5G is a slight upgrade over the original MatePad and is available at a slightly higher price point because of it. The upgrade gets you 5G connectivity in a tablet that features a slim and sleek body made from lightweight yet solid aluminium alloy. The rear panel has been given a smooth matte finish, with the edges rounded off to make it easier to hold for long periods of time. The camera bump is pretty minuscule and is shaped in the form of a long pill that sits vertically in the upper left corner. The front camera is located in the centre of the left bezel, which is easily visible if you have the white colour option. Thankfully the display is nice and vibrant, with an FHD resolution and a large battery to keep it running.

Bottom Line
Huawei MatePad 5G is a nice mid-range tablet that offers 5G connectivity at a relatively affordable price. The display and processor are the high points of the device, while the cameras remain a pain point, even at this price range.Pros
