Unlike the fanfare it created for its new devices as of the late, Chinese tech giant Huawei took the wraps off the eight-inch MediaPad M2 in France in a quiet fashion, first appearing at a Huawei Shop in Central Paris.
The device is said to be made of aluminum, and bears the company’s own 2.0GHz octa-core Kirin 930 chip. Among all hardware it has, it’s equipped with 2GB RAM, 16GB of expandable memory, LTE support, and a customized Android Lollipop (perhaps skinned with Emotion UI) out of the box.
