MediaPad is set to transform consumers’ entertainment
experience
Manila, Philippines,
01 December 2011: Huawei, a leading global information and
communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, today launched the Huawei MediaPad, the world’s first 7-inch Android 3.2
Honeycomb tablet. The MediaPad is a complete entertainment powerhouse driven by
Qualcomm’s dual-core 1.2GHz processor, supported by Google Android Market.
The MediaPad
provides a fabulous user-experience in a stylish, high-performing and
ultra-portable package.
The MediaPad is
Huawei Device’s smartest, slimmest and lightest tablet yet, measuring just
10.5mm (0.4 inches) deep and weighing approximately 390g (0.86 pounds). It
supports 1080P full HD video playback and features a 1.3 megapixel front facing
camera and 5 megapixel auto focus rear facing camera with HD video recording
capabilities. With HSPA+ 14.4Mbps and high-speed WiFi 802.11n Internet connectivity,
the MediaPad doesn’t just entertain – it keeps you connected at an instant.
“With the Huawei
MediaPad, we are demonstrating yet again that design, functionality and
performance are within anyone’s
reach. The 7-inch tablet remains the preferred size for portability, and Android Honeycomb 3.2 is dedicated to
enhance the full potential of 7-inch tablets. Huawei is very pleased to be the
first to offer this package to consumers globally and most especially here
in the Philippines.” said Zack Zhangxiang, Device Group Head of Huawei Philippines. “The MediaPad opens up new worlds of entertainment
for consumers by removing the barriers to tablet ownership, enabling access to
a truly high-quality mobile entertainment experience.”
An
Out-of-this-World Entertainment Experience
The MediaPad
supports HSPA+ data services, Flash 10.3 videos and comes preinstalled with
applications such as Facebook, Twitter, Let's Golf and Documents to Go. With
the 7-inch IPS touch screen, the MediaPad offers a standout visual experience
for photos, movies and applications. Entertainment and gaming experience are
taken to the next level with the MediaPad’s 1.2GHz Dual-Core processor, HD
playback and HDMI port.
With MediaPad, Huawei Device aims to reach a significant number of its target market,
Young Social Networkers (YSNs).
Emerald Dimapilis, Terminal Marketing Manager of HUAWEI Device Philippines expressed: “YSNs are all around us. Wherever you are in the world – whether it in
a bar in New York, a coffee shop in Makati, a beach in Palawan, or a busy
shopping street in London – you’ll find groups of YSNs. Progressiveness is the
defining characteristic of this group.”

Huawei Device’s Smart Offerings

on the global success of the IDEOS S7 Slim tablet and cements Huawei Device’s
ability to cater to the explosive demand for tablets.
