Hi

Last week i bought an huawei M5 wifi only Version here in Germany from amazon. Its 32GB 4gb ram wifi only Version (non pro).

I noticed very slow charging speed with the provided quick charge power supply (huawai HW - 059200EHQ). From 10% batttery he tells me 4:29 minutes and with other chargers both quick charge ajd normal non huawai it shows 5:29 hours so 1 hour more.

Can anyone confirm the charging time because the m5 pro charges this in 2:10 minutes.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Real Life Review] alvinlwh:
Disappointed that it does not have Qualcomm QC standard but Huawei's own FCP standard.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Real Life Review] almaalma74:
I have non pro 10.8" 64GB M5, when I'm connecting to charger, it says 4 or 5 hours, but 10-15 minutes later it says 2:15-2:30 hours... and usually it will be 100% within 150 minutes. So its charging is really fast - actually I can't see faster yet...
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Real Life Review] straycat01:
I don't know of estimated charging times but charging itself with the oficial power supply is really fast.

[Huawei MediaPad M5  Real Life Review] ronald_loulan:
My M5 10 Pro will arrive soon, thanks for the info.

Might get the charger as the device doesn't support QC3...
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Real Life Review] stag74:
An observation.

While using and charging my 8.4 M5 from a powerbank with type c port, and type c to type c cable I notice that the powerbank only maintains the charge.

This being 5v 3 amp so 15 watts.

The same powerbank has QC3 usb ports and when I use a USB to type c cable, the powerbank on the lcd display indicates 9v 2 amp, so 18 Watts, so actually charges the M5 slowly when also being used, which I have observed.

It therefore supports QC2, being 9v 2 amp, which to be fair, Huawei says it supports 9v 2 amp, even though they don't mention QC2.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Real Life Review] ronald_loulan:
I tried a couple of stock qc2 charger like Samsung and etc with didnt work.

Tried my Aukey QC3 charger too and same no fast charging.

All are measure by electrical measurement device.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Real Life Review] thref23:
Huawei makes its own SuperCharge capable powerbank, and it doesn't break the bank.

https://www.tvc-mall.com/details/hu...or-huawei-p10-mate-9-black-sku101705094a.html

^ I ordered from that site, and received it.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Real Life Review] stag74:
As my M5 came from Amazon Germany and I'm in the UK, I haven't had the opportunity to try the standard charger that came with it having the euro pins. Seeing as I'm currently on holiday in Greece, I bought my euro charger so will try it charging my powerbank. The powerbank will report the input voltage and current from the charger...

Edit: The supplied Huawei charger says quick charger on the side, and also lists 9v 2a output. Using it to charge my powerbank, it indicates a 9v 2a input.

So in my case all my QC2, and the included charger, all output 9v 2a correctly.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Real Life Review] alvinlwh:
I too can confirm Aukey QC3 will not fast charge the M5. Nor will a 5V3A USB C to C method mentioned by stag74. HOWEVER it does work with an unbranded QC3 charger from Gearbest, so go figure.

It appears that what will or will not work with Huawei FCP is kind of a gamble except with their own or clearly marked FCP chargers.

---------- Post added at 04:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:53 PM ----------

The supplied charger can charge items that are QC2/3 at fast speed. However the reverse cannot be said for the M5. So instead of just bringing a dual port QC charger on holiday, we will need to bring the Huawei charger as well to quickly charge everything.

Great charging speed for a tablet.

10.8 wifi variant.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Real Life Review] BigDisplay:
With the in box charger it charges the M5 64gb 10.8 100% in around 1½ hour, thats really good for a tablet in my opinion.

I tried my Mate 20X super charger, but it only charge it the normal slow speed, i was hoping for fast charge, but no

[Huawei MediaPad M5  Real Life Review] StephenMSmith:
Has anyone found a cheap charger that will do both FCP for my M5 and also QC 2 or 3 for my LG V35? What about all the various smart voltage chargers like Ankers power port, etc? Shouldn't they detect the subtle difference bt FCP and QC and supply what the device wants to fast charge?

If I recall correctly, looking and specs on the individual chargers was something like 9v/2a for FCP Huawei charger and 9v/1.8a for the QC charger for my LG V35, which my M5 won't accept for fast charging.

Car dual quick charger

I have been using this Aukey dual port QC 3.0 charger and can verify that it fast charges both the M5 8.4 tablet and my Samsung Note 8 simultaneously. I drive a truck and use the M5 tablet as a GPS unit with SmartTruckRoute. The screen is on medium brightness for 10 to 14 hours a day and never falls below 100% while plugged in. I take it off of the charger to watch Netflix and YouTube videos while eating or while in the sleeper and it shows fast charging when I plug it back in.

I got the 10.8 and it feels great in hand whilst sitting up..But when lying on your back in bed it's a little too thin and hard to hold, feel like your going to drop it on your face..

I've ordered a back cover for it, just waiting for it to come. Hopefully will make it nicer to hang onto whilst lying down..
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Real Life Review] Surethom:
The 10.8" tablets feels a good weight I the hand but the back & front glass is very slippy you definitely need some sort of case. I have the Samsung s 10.5 & the back is not slippy at all & even the glass is less slippy & less reflective I guess Samsung put some sort of coating on the glass?

I bought this tablet as an upgrade from my SHIELD Tablet K1 and it feels great to hold, it's light for it size and the rounded edges are very comfortable
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Real Life Review] MR Roland:
handy with the right case

I have to say im liking mine. I have bought the case with cover and the gel case. I found the flip case to always need flipping to access, so would tend to just go for my laptop instead. Having the gel case, I found it much easier to use and fitted a glass screen protector as obviously its going in bags without a cover. The case is grippy enough that I can prop it up on any table surface without worrying about it sliding over. The haptic feedback is terrible though. Feels like something you get on a $50 smartphone. The 10.8" is a great size too. I find myself pretty much always watching media in landscape mode and everything else portrait.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Real Life Review] alvinlwh:
I too got this as a replacement for a K1 and found that this is harder to hold compared to the K1. This feels really slippy compared to the all plastic K1. Getting a case for it to have more grip.

yeah it is really slippy lol but i had a case waiting for it so it ok for me but this tablet is way better than my beloved k1 tablet

As per [MENTION=5161349]wondering wanderer[/MENTION] request:

I tried watching some Netflix outdoors this morning on the train station platform - not in the shade.

It was a nice clear bright Spring morning but it was not overly sunny either...

On the maximum brightness setting the screen was visible and the Netflix episode watchable.

When set to Auto brightness the tablet dropped the brightness by about 30% and the movie was still kind of watchable but not brilliant.

Not sure but I would say it was slightly brighter than my Sony Z3C tablet under similar conditions - but this is very subjective.

I also then watched a few more minutes sat on the train with my back to the window and the video was still perfectly watchable. Again I would say it was slightly better than with my Z3C tablet in the past under similar conditions.

I should mention that I currently have an anti-glare matte screen protector fitted - so not sure how this impacts the above...

I saw it setting next to mediapad m3 lite 8.

About the same brightness (both set to max).

Only difference is the color. The m3 was more of bluish white, while the m5 8.4 was more toward yellowish white.

I don't think it'll serve me good as a navigational gadget (google map) for my car.

Arizona sunglasses test

Here's my test: looking at topo maps with the screen in direct Arizona summer sunlight, with my sunglasses on. My point of comparison is my Nexus 7 (2013). I haven't run this test extensively yet but my initial impression is that the M5 compares favorably side by side with the N7. I was expecting to be a little disappointed but I'm actually pretty pleased so far! :cool:

Brighter, but the panel reflects more than the one on the tab S.

[MENTION=4518169]ZunsheV[/MENTION] I cannot confirm the behavior you are describing. Having switched on bluetooth only without any traffic on it doesn't slow down the WiFi connection speed for me. It's a bit different when I am transferrring data over bluetooth in parallel or if bluetooth is scanning for devices. In those cases I can notice a slowdown, too.
