The tablet market isn’t thriving as well as smartphones, in fact, far from it. However, that isn’t stopping Huawei from not only outing a new tablet, but making it an upgrade of a product that was released just 3 months ago. Still, that doesn’t mean the Huawei MediaPad M6 Turbo isn’t a decent tablet, because it is.
First, it rocks an 8.4 inch IPS display with a resolution of 2560×1600. Under the hood, it packs a familiar Kirin 980 SoC and 128GB configuration that’s expandable via microSD card. It also comes with a 13MP rear camera and 8mp selfie camera. All of which are powered by a 6,100mAh battery. The “Turbo” part of the name is earned thanks to 6GB of RAM vs its predecessor, which only came with 4GB.
As has been a trend for Huawei, the MediaPad M6 Turbo comes in interesting finishes. You get two color variants, either Phantom Red or Phantom Blue. Depending on how the light is hitting it, it should also display some cool X-patterns.
Currently, these tablets are only available in China, with the WiFi version being priced at CNY 2,699 (about Php19.7K) while the one with a 4G modem will sell for CNY 2,999 (about Php21.8K). Hopefully, we might see the MediaPad M6 Turbo hit Philippine shores soon.
