Huawei Media Pad memory issues

ekk100 — Mon, 16 Nov 2020 17:32:09 GMT

I bought a Huawei MediaPad T5 10 16GB back in July, having previously had a Huawei Media Pad that I loved. Despite it being 16GB they fail to tell you it comes with around 7GB of pre-installed apps that you cannot remove. I've installed about four apps - Prime Video, Netflix, Spotify etc and the tablet is at 98% memory useage and so slow it is basically un-useable.

Tried installing an additional memory card but it only seems to be able to use this for photos/videos (of which I don't have many). Is there any way to rectify this or have I got an expensive paperweight?

It's an expensive paperweight.

64gb is an expected minimum these days, anything else will fill up very quickly.

Thanks, was afraid that was the case! At this rate I'm going to have multiple tablets on the go, one for messaging and one for watching stuff etc!
