By With announcements regarding its high-end tablet out of the way, Huawei has also announced forthcoming availability of the brand new Huawei MediaPad 7 Lite. As the name implies, this tablet is seven inches in size and doesn’t pack quite the same punch as the MediaPad 10 FHD.
It sports a 1.2GHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor, and a 3.2 megapixel rear shooter. That is also accompanied by a VGA front-facing camera for video calling.
As for its resolution, the press release says we have a “1024 x 600 IPS multi-touch 1080p high-definition display,” so we can’t be too sure what that means just yet. We’ve reached out for clarification, but we’ll go out on a limb and say the former resolution is correct, as is common for this screen size, for the time being. Read on for full press details.
