Hi, before the spat of the US Administration was having with China and then with Huawei, I picked up excellent well engineered Huawei products, their Mediapad M5 8.4 LTE and 10.8 LTE. From an electronics perspective these are phone chipsets, but physically built like tablets. Good for using phone SIMs not data SIMs to get lower monthly cost.
The challenge with these bigger devices is they very much need high speed charging (*), they come with their own Huawei Proprietary charging tech, but the good news is Anker’s PD chargers work well with Huawei’s phone chipsets. I have the Powerport 60W, the Powerport 5 PD and yesterday got a Powercore 10000 PD, and they all reported 18W.
Slightly differently, the Powerport 5 PD did 9V 2A, but the others did 15V 1.2A.
If I am not living the day out of my pockets, but out of a bag, I prefer to put a SIM in my 8.4" for better bigger screen.
I am leaving USA soon but for now I have 4 T-Mobile SIMs and put them each in my OnePlus 6, Huawei 8.4, 10.8 and my spare backup phone OnePlus 3T. With Google Voice pointed to them all, they all ring and I pick whichever I want.
If only OnePlus DASH would work with Anker…
What I am seeking to buy next is a dual International / UK 18W per-port charger to recharge device + 10000 PD.
(*) The Huawei M5 Mediapad 10.8" LTE is barely being able to kept charge while in use (full brightness, using it), unless it is on 18W charger. A 10W or 12W 5V charger doesn’t keep it going, it slowly drains. 18W is just about to slowly recharge it.
