The T8 proved to be what claims to be in our review: A cheap Android tablet. The MatePad T8 rounds off Huawei’s low-priced MatePad series.
When it comes to performance, build quality and battery life, the entry-level Huawei tablet is very competitive. Whether or not any device should ship with 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of eMMC memory in the year 2020 is still open to debate. However, in our opinion, no device with a 5100-mAh battery should come with a 5-watt charger. A microUSB port is also inappropriate in the year 2020, even for a budget tablet.
In addition to these minor points of criticism, Huawei also failed to provide its entry-level tablet with any unique features such as Huawei M Pencil support. Moreover, the hardware is also not special and is on the level of a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 from the year 2019. The MatePad T8 does not offer any major advantages when it comes to the screen or the SoC, either. Additionally, because Huawei is barred from using Google Play services or Google applications, the tablet only supports Huawei Mobile Services.
