If you’ve been eyeing the Huawei MediaPad M5 Lite on Flipkart for some time now but haven’t yet hit the big orange ‘Buy Now’ button, there’s good news coming your way. There’s a new variant of the tablet out, and it’s got more RAM and double the storage space on board. The new Huawei MediaPad M5 Lite variant features 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage space. Announced on Friday, the new variant of the Huawei MediaPad M5 Lite is priced at Rs 22,990.

The new variant of the Huawei MediaPad M5 Lite was announced last week but has yet to become available on Flipkart. Clicking the ‘Notify Me’ button on Huawei India’s website currently redirects users to a Flipkart page that lists the device as, ‘Coming Soon’. Like the older variant, which ships with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage space, the new variant comes with a single connectivity option: Wi-Fi + 4G LTE. The tablet is available in Champagne Gold and Space Grey colours.

The new variant commands a premium of Rs 2,000 over the older one but we believe it’s the one you should pick if you plan to multitask and store a lot of content on your new tablet. Another reason to pick the 4GB variant over the 3GB variant is Huawei’s uninspiring disclaimer about the actual RAM capacity. “Due to limitations in CPU processing power, and memory used by the operating system and pre-installed applications, the actual space available to users will be less than the nominal memory capacity.”

Apart from boosting the RAM and internal storage space, Huawei has made no other changes or upgrades to the MediaPad M5 Lite. It still runs EMUI 8.0, which is based on the dated Android 8.0 Oreo mobile operating system. The tablet’s battery, too, remains unchanged at 7500mAh. The Huawei MediaPad M5 Lite features a Kirin 659 chip and a 10.1-inch IPS LCD screen, which has a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels. The Huawei MediaPad M5 Lite also features quad stereo speakers that are tuned by Harman Kardon.
