    The M5 Lite is great for multimedia consumption, with loud speakers, a nice display, and a battery that can easily get you through a long Netflix binge.

We have tested the Huawei MediaPad M5 lite equipped with a HiSilicon Kirin 659, an ARM Mali-T830 MP2, 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of eMMC storage. The MediaPad M5 lite from Huawei is an affordable tablet with a lot of power and a fancy design. The tablet is also very robust thanks to its metal case.
