Google Now gives you a short overview of information it believes is relevant to you right now. It can interpret a lot of things from your search history as well.
If you've been searching for, let's say, your favorite football team, Google Now will prepare a card showing you the next match the team is playing and will provide you score updates once the game begins.
Google Now on the Huawei MediaPad 7 Vogue
Voice Actions can handle stuff like sending messages (SMS or email), initiating a voice call, asking for directions, taking a note or opening a site. Google Now can also launch apps, check and manage your calendar and look for nearby places of interest and stuff like movie openings in theaters.
Google Now on the Huawei MediaPad 7 Vogue gets activated with an upward-swipe from the virtual navigation bar.
You can either type or talk to it and the app will give you one of its info cards (if available) and read you its contents aloud (you can disable this in the app settings). If there's no card to help with the answer to your question Google Now will simply initiate a Google web search instead.
Synthetic benchmarks
The Huawei MediaPad 7 Vogue is powered by Huawei's own K3V2 chipset. There are four 1.5GHz Cortex A9 cores, a 16-core GPU and 1GB of RAM. The Cortex A9 processor is already a dated piece of tech, but it's still more than capable of keeping Android running smoothly on the 1024 x 600 pixels screen. The Samsung Galaxy SIII, for instance, uses a similar processor and it still gets the job done.
Starting off with BenchmarkPi and Linpack, the MediaPad 7 Vogue posted pretty good scores, on par with the original ASUS Nexus 7 Of course, it wasn't able to match the more high-end rivals in our database.
