Before the MatePad Pro launched, Huawei announced the MediaPad M6 series. The series includes the 8.4-inch model, the 8.4-inch Turbo Edition, and the 10.8-inch version. All three are powered by the Kirin 980 processor which makes them flagship tablets.
When they launched, all three tablets ran EMUI 9.1 based on Android Pie out of the box. Yesterday, Huawei announced that an open beta version of EMUI 10 is now available for the three tablets. This version of EMUI is based on Android 10.
Huawei says the open beta update brings an improvement in system performance and an improved AI assistant. You should also get a new user interface and a system-wide dark mode.
To get the beta update, you will have to go to the Huawei Club app and select EMUI Zone at the top right corner. There should be an option to select “Beta Upgrade”.
The MediaPad M6 series all have IPS LCD displays, the same 13MP rear camera, and 8MP front-facing camera. While the 8.4-inch and 10.8-inch versions are available in 4GB + 64GB, and 4GB + 128GB, the Turbo Edition comes in only one configuration – 6GB + 128GB.
The 10.8-inch model is also the only model with a fingerprint scanner and an audio jack. It also packs a larger battery capacity of 7500mAh against the 8.4-inch models 6100mAh battery capacity.
