The Huawei MediaPad S7-301w was launched in the third quarter of 2011 as a Wi-Fi-only version of the original Huawei MediaPad. It retained the same premium 7.0-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 800×1280 pixels, delivering sharp and vibrant visuals for web browsing, movies, and productivity. Running Android 3.2 Honeycomb, upgradable to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, the tablet was powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 chipset with a dual-core 1.2 GHz Scorpion CPU and Adreno 220 GPU, supported by 1GB of RAM. With 8GB of internal storage expandable via a microSDHC slot, users had enough room for apps, photos, and videos.
The Huawei MediaPad S7-301w came equipped with a 5MP rear camera with LED flash and 720p video recording, alongside a 1.3MP front camera ideal for video chats. Although it lacked GSM voice and SMS support, it provided excellent Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n connectivity for seamless internet access and Bluetooth 2.1 for wireless pairing. Multimedia capabilities were strong, with stereo sound, SRS audio, and HDMI output, making it a solid entertainment tablet. The 4100mAh non-removable Li-Po battery offered up to 200 hours of standby and 6 hours of talk time, ensuring extended usability. Available in Shadow Black, Classic Brown, and Passion Pink, the MediaPad S7-301w stood out as a well-balanced tablet for both media and everyday tasks.
