Huawei pitches 'first ever' 10in quad-core tablet

Full HD-plus screen too

MWC 2012

This one is sure to interest Apple's lawyers: Huawei has introduced a 10.1in tablet based around a quad-core processor - the first time this has happened, the company claimed - and its front looks a lot like an iPad.

Cue trade-dress lawsuit, surely?

The MediaPad 10 FHD's back is different, mind. There's an 8Mp camera round there, to complement the 1.3Mp webcam on the front of the tablet.

Connectivity includes 84Mb/s HSPA+ 3G and Wi-Fi. The 1.5GHz K3 CPU is backed by a whopping - for a tablet - 2GB of Ram.

The 'FHD' in the name stands for Full HD: this boy has a 1920 x 1200 display. The tablet is 9mm thick and weighs 598g.

Huawei said the MediaPad 10 FHD will go on sale in April, May or June worldwide. It'll come with Android 4 Ice Cream Sandwich installed. ®
