Top Chinese Tablets for August 2015

In this post I am featuring the Huawei MediaPad T1. This tablet is having rave reviews on Amazon and is definitely something to add to your list of potential candidates for purchase. I've been bowled over by some of the specifications as well as the look and feel. I must say that the tablet has got a bit of a Samsung look and feel - but let us leave that discussion for now. See below some of my main observations.


The fantastic 8" high definition display enables 178 degree wide viewing angles for a great movie watching or sharp reading experiences. The tablet has got 4G capabilities.This very thin tablet weighs less than a pound. The casing is made of strong aluminium, giving it a very sturdy look and feel. It is powered by a 1.2 GHz quad core Qualcom Snapdragon CPU. The battery life, which is quite important when it comes to tablets allows for about 10 hours of video playback. It has got 8 GB of storage and 1 GB of RAM which provides sufficient performance and storage.

What Tablet Screen Size is right for me?


If you are currently looking for a tablet, but unsure as to what screen size to go for, then the below information will be of some assistance.

Screen size has always been important, since the first handheld device was released on the market. The most important aspect to keep in mind when deciding on a screen size, is what the main usage of the device will be. It is also important to determine who will be using the tablet as smaller tablet sizes are ideal for kids.

If the device is required for mix use (e.g. Business and Pleasure) and will need to be carried around quite a lot, it is preferable to go for 7 inch tablet as this will comfortably fit into a satchel or handbag. It will also not be too heavy, which overall will make it comfortable to use.

From a gaming perspective, I feel that a 7 inch tablet is also more ideal as the lighter, smaller device is easier to handle during lengthy game play periods.

If the device is for a small child (younger than 10 years), it is advisable to go for  a 7 inch tablet.

If you like to read magazines or watch movies on your tablet, I would propose that you go for a 10.1 inch tablet rather, as the bigger screen will enhance both experiences.
Bigger  tablets are also advisable if you are going to use an editor on it.
Things to keep in mind about the bigger tablets are the following:

  • They are heavier.
  • The are more difficult to carry around as they don't fit into traditional bags (handbags etc.)
  • They are better for watching movies and reading bigger documents including magazines.
  • They are also better to use if you  are going to use an editor or a spreadsheet tool.


There are many tablet sizes between 7 inch and 10.1 inch, which can make it sometimes make it easier to decide.

The golden rule to stick is to always base your decision on size on the purpose of the device in your life!
