The Huawei Mediapad M5 10 Pro is an Android tablet with a Kirin 960 octa-core processor, a 2560 x 1600 pixel display, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of storage. I had a chance to play with one for a few days recently, and it’s a pretty nice tablet. But with a list price of $450, it’s not exactly cheap by Android tablet standards.
Today it’s a little cheaper than usual though: Newegg is selling the MediaPad M5 10 pro for $50 off when you use the coupon code EMCPWSE24.

The kirin 960 in the mediapad m5 series is pretty good but I bought the 8.4 inch m5 and I was disappointed by the video capabilities (no hardware decode for ten bit hevc). It can handle software decode at 1080p but that is disappointing for a media oriented device.
The snapdragon 660 in the Xiaomi mipad 4 on the other hand can do it no sweat. I still would have chosen the m5 because my focus let on reading and I wanted the higher ppi.
> no hardware decode for ten bit hevc
Standard video support should be part of the listed specs – like they do with document types (pdf, epub, fb2, azw, etc). 10-bit HEVC videos have been a big deal now for a few years.
Ironically the document support type can be fixed with the right app normally while hardware video decode obviously won’t.
