The camera can also shoot HD videos for you. Another 1.3-mega pixel camera has been given on front side to facilitate video calling. MediaPad is powered by Qualcomm dual-core 1.2 Ghz processor and functions on Android 3.2 Honeycomb operating system. For those who don’t know, Honeycomb OS has been specifically designed for running tablets. Hence, if you are thinking of buying one, it can be one main deciding factor.

Built keeping in mind the social networking needs of people, the Huawei’s MediaPad tablet comes preloaded with apps like Facebook and Twitter. Let’s Golf and Documents to Go are other additional apps given. The device also supports HSDPA+ data services and is completely compatible with Bluetooth 2.1 version. With so much on offer, Huawei’s MediaPad is definitely a steal.

In terms of competition and pricing, Huawei’s MediaPad is likely to be priced in the same range as the likes of Reliance 3G Tab and Beetel Magiq are.
