Third-party reviews

What we like about Huawei Mediapad X1 3G (2GB + 16GB)

  • Premium ultra-slim aluminum unibody design that feels luxurious and lightweight
  • Vibrant 7-inch Full HD LTPS display with high brightness (up to 515 nits) and wide viewing angles
  • Impressive 5,000mAh battery life, often lasting up to two days with moderate use
  • Compact form factor with very thin bezels, making it easy to hold in one hand
  • Versatile connectivity including 3G/4G calling capabilities and SMS support
  • Useful reverse charging feature that allows the tablet to charge other devices via microUSB

What we don't like about Huawei Mediapad X1 3G (2GB + 16GB)

  • Sluggish and laggy user experience caused by the heavy Huawei Emotion UI overlay
  • Launched with an outdated version of Android (4.2 Jelly Bean)
  • Non-traditional UI layout that removes the app drawer, placing all icons on the home screen
  • Rear-facing speaker can be easily muffled and lacks the quality of front-facing stereo speakers
  • Camera performance can be grainy with sluggish shutter speeds despite high megapixel counts
  • Potential hardware durability concerns, such as rattling physical buttons

Verdict

The Huawei MediaPad X1 3G (2GB + 16GB) is a slim 7-inch tablet-phone hybrid featuring a high-resolution 1200 x 1920 LTPS IPS display and a premium aluminum unibody design. It is powered by a quad-core 1.6 GHz HiSilicon Kirin 910 processor, 2GB of RAM, and 16GB of internal storage expandable via microSD. Key characteristics include a high 80% screen-to-body ratio, a large 5000 mAh battery with reverse charging capabilities, and high-spec cameras for its class, specifically a 13MP rear sensor and a 5MP front 'selfie' camera. Main pros are its exceptionally lightweight and thin 7.2mm profile, vibrant display with wide viewing angles, and the ability to make 3G voice calls. However, notable cons include an outdated Android 4.2 Jelly Bean operating system (upgradable only to 4.4 KitKat) and some reported software sluggishness due to the heavy Emotion UI overlay.
