Comparison Huawei MediaPad M5 Lite 10 32 GB vs Huawei MediaPad T5 10 32 GB / LTE

The result shown by a device when undergoing a performance test (benchmark) in the AnTuTu Benchmark.

AnTuTu Benchmark is a comprehensive test designed specifically for mobile devices, primarily smartphones and tablets. It evaluates the performance of the processor, memory, graphics, and input/output systems, providing a clear impression of the system's capabilities. The better the performance, the higher the score. According to AnTuTu, top models are those that score more than 500,000 points.

As with any benchmark, this test does not provide absolute precision; for more details on measurement inaccuracies, see the "3DMark Gamer's Benchmark" section.

The result shown by the device when passing the performance test (benchmark) Geekbench.

Geekbench is a specialized benchmark designed for CPUs. Since version 4.0, the test has also been applied to graphics accelerators; towards the end of 2019, the benchmark was released under the number "5". The characteristics of portable gadgets usually provide data specifically for the CPU. During testing, Geekbench simulates the workloads that occur when performing real-world tasks, and takes into account both the capabilities of a single core and the efficiency of multiple cores running simultaneously. Thanks to this, the final results characterize well the capabilities of the processor in everyday use. In addition, the test is cross-platform and allows you to compare the CPUs of different devices (smartphones, tablets, laptops, PCs). The help information only lists the multi-core test values for CPU.

— 3G. Support for third-generation mobile networks (3G) by the modem. Usually it means work in UMTS networks (development of the GSM standard); Depending on the data transfer technologies supported by the network and the tablet itself, the maximum connection speed can vary from 2 to 70 Mbps. This is comparable to the speed of terrestrial Internet connection channels, so 3G connection can be comfortably used for web surfing, downloading files, watching streaming video, video calling, etc. In many models, classic voice calls to mobile and landline numbers are also available; most often these are devices with a small diagonal, which allows you to hold the tablet to your ear like a regular phone.

— 4G (LTE). Tablet support for 4th generation mobile communications — 4G(LTE). Such a connection provides data transfer speeds up to 173 Mbps according to the official specification (1 Gbps in the future), which gives even more comfort when surfing the Internet and other similar tasks than in 3G networks. In many LTE-tablets, classic voice calls to mobile and landline numbers are also available; most often these are devices with a small diagonal, which allows you to hold the tablet to your ear like a regular phone.

Note that the implementation of LTE in different countries and even regions is uneven, so before buying a tablet with such a module, it's ok to clarify the availability of coverage.
<...br> — 5G. Further, after 4G, the development of mobile communication standards. In the official specifications of this generation, a peak speed of 20 Gbps for reception and 10 Gbps for transmission, guaranteed reception and transmission speeds (at high network load) of 100 and 50 Mbps, respectively, as well as a number of solutions aimed at increasing reliability and overall communication quality. A set of such solutions includes, in particular, multi-element antenna arrays (Massive MIMO) and beamforming technologies (Beamforming) at base stations, as well as the possibility of direct communication between subscriber devices. With all this, this standard allows to reduce energy consumption in comparison with its predecessors.
Separately, it is worth touching on rumors about the dangers of 5G communications for health. According to modern scientific data, such a connection does not pose a danger to the human body, and the rumors mentioned are conspiracy theories that are not supported by any weighty arguments.

— microUSB. A smaller version of the USB connector, widely used in modern tablets as a universal interface. MicroUSB is used primarily to charge the battery and connect the device to a computer, and with USB OTG support, flash drives and other accessories are connected to it (of course, an adapter is required to work with a full-size USB plug). This connector is gradually being replaced by a more convenient and advanced USB-C (see below), but microUSB is still very far away from the complete disappearance.

— USB-C.It has similar dimensions to microUSB (see above) and replaced it, but differs in the design of the connector – it is symmetrical, which allows you to connect the plug to either side. In terms of application, this interface is also similar to microUSB, with the adjustment that USB-C often supports the advanced USB 3.2 gen2 standard, which provides speeds up to 10 Gbps. In addition, it is easier to implement fast charging through such a connector — some of the charging technologies were originally created for USB-C.

— USB4. A high-speed revision of the USB interface introduced in 2019. It uses only symmetrical USB-C connectors and does not have its own data format — instead, such a connection is used to transfer information according to several standards at once: USB 3.2 and DisplayPort as mandatory, as well as PCI-E as an option. Another feature...is that USB4 is based on the Thunderbolt protocol. It is also worth noting that this USB revision allows connecting devices in a daisy chain and by default supports Power Delivery technology, which allows you to optimize the process of charging external gadgets (provided that they also implement this technology).

The maximum data transfer rate for such a connector should be at least 10 Gbps, in fact, options for 20 Gbps and even 40 Gbps are often found (depending on the technologies and standards supported by a particular port). At the same time, the USB4 inputs are quite compatible with the peripherals of the USB-C connector.

— USB 2.0. Full size USB port 2.0 compliant. Such a port allows you to connect ordinary USB peripherals to the tablet — for example, flash drives or keyboards; however, due to its large size, it is rare, mainly in business models and in "hybrids" equipped with docking stations (in such cases, the port can be placed on the docking station). Version 2.0 supports data transfer rates up to 480 Mbps and is still quite popular, although it is gradually being replaced by more advanced standards — primarily USB 3.2 (see below).

— USB 3.2 gen1. USB version, formerly known as USB 3.1 gen1 or USB 3.0. Utilizes a traditional full-size USB port and delivers speeds up to 4.8Gbps — 10 times faster than the previous 2.0 version — as well as more power. At the same time, it is quite possible to connect USB 2.0 peripherals to such connectors.

— HDMI. A digital interface specially designed for broadcasting HD content: high-definition video and multi-channel audio. It is very popular in video technology, in particular, it is used in almost all modern TVs, it is often found in projectors, media players, etc. So HDMI support will be very useful if you plan to broadcast video from a tablet to an external screen. In portable technology, it is usually not a full-size connector that is used, but a reduced miniHDMI or microHDMI, however, finding a cable for such a port is not a problem.

— Mini-jack (3.5 mm). Standard 3.5mm mini-jack. Such a plug is used by the vast majority of modern wired headphones, headsets and portable speakers, therefore, in most tablets, it is the 3.5 mm port that plays the role of an audio jack. However if there are no problems with headphones and speakers, then compatibility with headsets needs to be specified separately — these devices have their own connection specifics. Also note that there are tablets without a 3.5 mm jack — they are usually designed for specialized accessories connected via a proprietary connector, or for wireless Bluetooth audio equipment.

— The number of lenses. The characteristics of the main (rear) camera of the tablet are represented primarily by the number of modules, which in most cases are 1, but there are also tablets with a dual camera.

— Resolution. The second important factor of the camera is the number of megapixels. Many really believe that the more MP, the better the quality of filming. However, this is not entirely true: only the maximum resolution of the resulting images depends on the resolution of the matrix, and their quality is determined by many other parameters. However a large sensor resolution may be a sign of an advanced camera, but this is not necessary — two "eyes" with the same number of megapixels can radically differ in the quality of shooting. Rear cameras in tablets may well be used for photo and video shooting; therefore, they have cameras of 8 MP, 10 MP and even higher (12 and 13 MP).

— Autofocus. For focus in such cameras, a movable lens system controlled by automation is responsible. It takes some time for the automation to work, and the lenses themselves turn out to be more complicated and more expensive than optics with a fixed focus (fixed lenses that are initially set to a large range of distances). However, the quality of the pictures is disproportionate...ly higher than that of cameras without autofocus, and the systems themselves are constantly being improved, and their response time is increasingly approaching instantaneous.

— Flash. Flash significantly expands the capabilities of the camera. First of all, it allows you to shoot in low light conditions; in this case, the backlight, usually, can also be used in the constant glow mode — for video shooting. The second situation where a flash can come in handy is backlighting when the subject is in shadow. In addition, in many tablets, the flash LED can also be used as a regular flashlight, without a camera.

The resolution and maximum frame rate provided by the main camera when recording Full HD (1080p) video at normal speed, without slow motion (if available).

The standard resolution for this format is 1920x1080. Note that this can be either the maximum shooting resolution or one of the relatively simple options in addition to more advanced standards (such as UltraHD 4K). At the same time, Full HD is considered more than a decent resolution by modern standards, and at the same time, it can be supported even by fairly simple and inexpensive tablets.

As for the frame rate, there are actually two values in normal shooting - Full HD 30 fps and Full HD 60 fps. A higher frame rate allows you to achieve very smooth display of dynamic scenes - even fast-moving objects in the frame are seen as clearly as possible, with almost no blurring. However, the low shooting speed also has its advantages - it allows you to reduce the amount of material being shot. Therefore, tablets that support 60 fps may have the ability to reduce the frame rate to 30 fps. But speeds above 60 fps are already used for shooting slow-motion video (slow-mo); see "Slow-mo" for more on this.

Resolution of the front camera of the tablet.

There is an opinion that more megapixels means better quality of filming. However, this is not entirely true: only the maximum resolution of the resulting images depends on the resolution of the matrix, and their quality is determined by many other parameters. However a large sensor resolution may be a sign of an advanced camera, but this is not necessary — two "eyes" with the same number of megapixels can radically differ in the quality of shooting.

The main purpose of frontcameras in tablets is video communication, and for it high resolution is not critical. Therefore, the number of megapixels in such cameras is noticeably lower than in rear cameras — for example, 2 MP considered an acceptable value, 5 MP is not bad, 7 MP and 8 MP is good, 12MP — excellent.

The ability to reproduce full stereo sound through the tablet's own speakers. For this task there must be at least two speakers. This complicates the design and increases its cost, but has a positive effect on sound quality: the sound is more expressive and detailed than when using a single speaker, it has a surround effect, as well as higher volume.

At the same time, for better sound quality, the tablet can be equipped with advanced sound system, which are noticeably superior in quality to conventional speakers. Such information further emphasizes the high level of the device. At the same time, the characteristics usually do not give the full name of the speaker system, but only the name of the brand that had a hand in tuning the sound.

The capacity of the battery that is normally installed in the tablet.

Theoretically, a larger battery means longer battery life. However, in fact, the battery life of the tablet also depends on its power consumption — and it is influenced by the characteristics of the processor and screen, the installed OS, and other factors. Therefore, only models with similar characteristics can be compared in terms of battery capacity (and even such a comparison will be quite approximate); and to assess battery life, it is best to look at the directly claimed operating time in different modes.
