MediaPad X1 Phablet Review

The MediaPad X1 is a 7″ phablet, which is a combination of phone and tablet in one. The X1 is the world’s slimmest 7″ model that has LTE and is Cat4-enabled.

The casing is impressive and made of full aluminum alloy. The 7″ high definition touch screen display offers 1200 x 1920 FHD LTPS with an 80% screen to body ratio.

A nice 1.6 GHz quad core processor powers this device and it runs on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean; which is a little bit disappointing as most of new introduced gadgets are in Android 4.4 Kit Kat at MWC.

One of the more astounding features of the MediaPad X1 phablet is that Huawei is claiming it has a 5000 mAh battery that provides 21 days of standby time, more than 5 days of continues use and reverse charging.

Two cameras are also included on the device, with an impressive 13 megapixel Sony Exmor R BSI rear-facing camera that provides users with panoramic shooting, as well as a 5 megapixel front-facing camera for video chat.

I am amazed that Huawei can come up with a 7″ screen Phablet. It’s definitely a “new” product category. I saw some 6″ Phablets in 2013, but can’t imagine you could have 7 or even 8″ one making phone calls? Anyway, people make phone calls with bluetooth headset or speaker phone. Who really holds a huge screen over your ear? Also I do what’s app, text more than voice calls these days, but typing on big screen is not my cup of tea.

And you? What’re your thoughts about these Huawei new Phablets?
