I'm the same Bill that commented on this review a bit over 6 years ago now.

I've still got the M2 8 - Premium. As a matter of fact, I recently replaced its battery after having it tethered to my PC for several years as its original had failed. It was a relatively simple process and I was done in ~20 minutes.

Anyway, the tablet still runs well despite its now ancient age in technology years.

I've assigned it as a multimedia server dedicated remote control with some occasional Web browsing, and I suspect that I could get another 6 years usages out of it if it weren't forever stuck on a decidedly old version of Android.

All in all, I'd purchase another tablet from the manufacturer again based upon my experience with this one.

Based on this review and a few others I read/viewed, I purchased this device about a month ago from a local technology retailer at great price - they had in on sale at $205US! I was eyeing up this and a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8; for the money, the Huawei was a better option and I certainly don't regret my decision.

Thanks, again, for the great reviews and please keep up the great work!

Kind regards,

THanks for the review guys.

I am planning take this M2 8.
Before taking I just want to know the following.
How is life of Huawei products in general?
How many years does this battery last? Because we cant replace it either.
How is the touch sensitivity like? comparing with ipad
Is this Whatsapp compatible ? This is imp factor for me.

Thank you guys.

I have one which I'm happy with. Playing Real Racing 3 stutters a bit when many cars are in view. In normal use it's great, picks up 3g and WiFi better than my Moto X Play.

Is there any news on it getting Marshmallow?
