      It's a great tablet but--no system updates. So you're stuck with Android 8 and EMUI 8.

          Great gaming tablet, even today. If it had an AMOLED display, it would be absolutely perfect.

            Amazing tablet 100%

              I only white listed nova in its built-in app killer (in newer androids they moved it to power saving options I heard)

              I don't know if in newer huawei devices they always come back to default launcher or not but in my phone it don't get back to default launcher.

              Although I did the above to achieve that I think. (I don't remember because I changed it two years ago)

                HIya. I'm interested to know about the current EMUI 9.0 (and the supposed newer EMUI 9.1) of the Mediapad M5 tablet.
                Some of my other questions:
                1 Is there a full systemwide dark mode?
                2 Is there a swipe up to reveal the apps tray? (hate the apps tray icon and the traditional 3 nav buttons on the bottom of the screen)
                3 Any enhancements to the audio?
                4 IS there a Night Mode or blue light filter?
                5 Is there a Chromecast support now? Or do we have to download a 3rd-party app?
                6 Can we still install 3rd-party launchers?
                7 A way to change the RGB colour gamut of the screen?
                8. Does it support fast charging?
                Many thanks.

                                      this is one of the shortcomings that stop me from buying this tablet

                                        I want to know about its portability.. Is this can be carried in pant pocket easily? Is this can be operated by one hand?
