MORE: Huawei MediaPad M3: Full Review The other difference I noticed is that this model comes with 3GB of RAM, which is less than the 4GB in the model we reviewed. We’ve reached out to Huawei about these differences and will update this story when we get a reply. In our testing, the light-gold-colored aluminum MediaPad offered performance that matched its sleek design, as its Hisilicon Kirin 950 processor made for buttery smooth scrolling and solid multi-tasking. It even earned a fantastic score of 6,023 on the Geekbench 3 general performance test, which put it above Apple’s iPad Mini 4 (3,107), Asus’s ZenPad Z8 (3,355), LG’s G Pad F 8.0 (933), the Acer Predator 8 (3,112) and the average tablet (2,797). The MediaPad M3 runs a skinned version of Android Marshmallow, using Huawei’s EMUI software to practically makeover most of the interface. The slate’s capacitive-touch navigation key is the other point that may throw Android purists for a loop, as it comes set as a navigation key. Tapping it brings you back a screen, and swiping it to the left opens the recent apps view. You can disable this functionality if you’d rather go without it.
