The Huawei MediaPad 10 FHD is a tablet with a 10.1 inch, 1910 x 1200 pixel display, a Huawei quad-core processor, and an 8MP rear-camera. It runs Google Android 4.0, supports 4G LTE mobile broadband, and looks like a pretty nifty tablet in most respects. But you can’t buy one yet.
Huawei first introduced the tablet in February, and recently announced it will go on sale in China by the end of August. There’s still no word on international launch details, but Huawei has been pushing its phones and tablets in the US, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see the MediaPad 10 FHD show up on western shores one of these days.

Android Central spotted an official video showing off the MediaPad 10 FHD on Huawei’s YouTube channel. So now we know the tablet has an IPS display, an 8MP camera with auto-focus and dual LED flash, and Dolby surround audio.
The tablet features Huawei’s own quad-core processor with 16 graphics processor cores. It sounds a lot like an NVIDIA Tegra 3 chip, but it’s theHuawei K3V2 processor the company unveiled earlier this year.
Huawei will also offer an optional Laptop Kit which lets you connect the MediaPad 10 FHD to a keyboard dock for use as a notebook.
The MediaPad 10 FHD measures 8.8mm thick (0.35 inches) and weighs 580 grams (1.28 pounds).

The Huawei MediaPad was the first 7 inch tablet to ship with Google Android 3.2 Honeycomb when the tablet launched. But Android 3.2 is so 2011… fortunately Huawei has released a software update for the tablet that allows it to run Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
You can find the new software in the downloads section at the MedaiPad website.

The new software appears to be pretty close to a stock Google Android 4.0 experience without many customizations. That means you get a new and improved camera app and gallery app, a new people app, the ability to dismiss apps from the recently used menu, and a number of performance tweaks.
Android 4.0 also has a more consistent look and feel throughout the operating system and I find it generally easier to use than Android 3.2.
The Huawei MediaPad features a 7 inch, 1280 x 800 pixel display, a 1.2 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon dual core processor, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of storage, front and rear cameras, WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS.
