Huawei MediaPad 10 Link  Pro Reviews

A tablet featuring a unibody aluminum casing, quad-core CPU and long battery runtimes for EUR 350 sounds like a reasonable price at first. But a few restrictions ruin the at first glance favorable price-performance ratio. Although the casing features a solid build, it creaks disagreeably when handled a bit less carefully. The 16 core graphics card looks especially good on paper but stuttering is noticed adversely in current top games. The high standby power consumption forces the user to connect the tablet to the charger more frequently than necessary and the missing GPS module prevents using some applications outside of the living room. Ultimately, the slow loading of pages while browsing is a disadvantage that will very often be noticed in everyday use. One of the key points that speak for Huawei's MediaPad 10 Link is the installed WWAN module, which ensures swift speeds while browsing due to HSDPA and HSUPA and which supplied good reception rates in our test. The bright and viewing angle stable screen was as much a pleasure as the decent application performance and the overall low power consumption, particularly during full load. Huawei has room for improvement in a few areas, although the mobile Internet is a unique selling point in this price range that will recompense many buyers for some of the restrictions. Huawei should however avoid issues like the slow and tight storage capacity, lame page loading in all browsers used in the test and the awful noises when pressure was applied to the casing in the next devices. Then the subjective impression will be able to keep up with the mostly good objective measured rates.
