Comparisons Featuring Huawei MediaPad S7
Short Review
- The Huawei MediaPad S7 features a compact design with dimensions of 190 x 124 x 10.5 mm and a weight of 390g, making it portable and easy to handle.
- Its 7.0-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 800 x 1280 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 216 ppi, though it lacks HDR support.
- Performance is driven by a Qualcomm MSM8260 Snapdragon S3 chipset with a dual-core 1.2 GHz CPU and 1GB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks but may struggle with more demanding applications.
- The rear camera has a 5 MP sensor with autofocus, capable of recording 720p video at 30fps, while the front camera is limited to 1.3 MP.
- The 4100 mAh battery supports standard usage but does not offer fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 3.2 (Honeycomb) with an upgrade path to 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), the software experience is somewhat dated.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1, but it lacks modern features like 5G and NFC.
- The device is available in shadow black, classic brown, and passion pink colors.
- It also includes a headphone jack, which is a notable feature for audio enthusiasts.
- Overall, the MediaPad S7 provides a basic tablet experience with limited performance and features by today's standards.
