Huawei clearly has some work to do in terms of making the gap between announcement and release of its devices much, much smaller. The Chinese company unveiled the MediaPad 10 FHD tablet at MWC in February, yet right now it’s only available in China. We count six months having already passed since the announcement until today. That brings back memories about how Nokia used to do things a few years ago.
The MediaPad 10 FHD is still the same attractive tablet we played with in February, though it’s gained a keyboard dock in the meantime, a la the Transformer series from Asus, and basically every Windows 8 tablet announced so far. That’s good, because the market has been flooded with quad-core tablets, some of them with Full HD screens. So the only thing really left for Huawei to differentiate this device with, aside from its looks, will be price. We’ll see if the company will be able to deliver on that front.
September is when the MediaPad 10 FHD will finally be out in Germany, Sweden, Russia, Belarus, Korea, Bahrain, and Kuwait. Other markets will follow, but when is unclear. So in case you’ve been patiently waiting for this tablet, and you’re not in one of the aforementioned places… just keep on waiting.
