Verdict

The Huawei MediaPad X1 7.0 LTE is a premium 7-inch aluminum-unibody phablet featuring a high-resolution 1200 x 1920 LTPS IPS display (323 ppi) and a quad-core 1.6 GHz HiSilicon Kirin 910 processor with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of expandable storage. Its main pros include an ultra-slim 7.18mm profile, a massive 5000mAh battery that supports reverse charging, and high-quality cameras with a 13MP rear and 5MP front-facing sensor. However, it is primarily held back by outdated Android software (v4.2.2 Jelly Bean) and a sluggish Emotion UI that can lead to occasional performance stutters.
