Early hands-on · Unfinished software
Verdict
The Huawei MediaPad X1 has a slim metal design and a big battery, but its blurry screen, childish interface and grainy photos hold it back.

The Huawei MediaPad X1 is a sturdy phablet with a sharp screen, suited to big-screen fans, but it won't fit in jeans pockets and runs old Android 4.2.

Reviews last updated: November 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Huawei Mediapad X1 LTE (2GB + 16GB)

  • Premium aluminum unibody design with a high screen-to-body ratio
  • Vibrant 7-inch Full HD (1920x1200) IPS display with excellent viewing angles
  • Strong 5,000mAh battery life, often lasting a full day or more
  • Full 4G LTE phone capabilities, including making calls and sending SMS
  • Slim and lightweight form factor that is easy to hold in one hand
  • Useful reverse charging feature to power other devices
  • Capable 13MP rear camera, considered high-spec for a tablet at the time

What customers don't like about Huawei Mediapad X1 LTE (2GB + 16GB)

  • Outdated software, originally launching with Android 4.2 Jelly Bean
  • Sluggish and laggy performance caused by the Emotion UI (EMUI) overlay
  • Large size (7 inches) makes it awkward to use as a primary phone for some
  • Lack of NFC connectivity
  • Portrait-locked home screens that do not rotate to landscape mode
  • Camera shutter speed can be slow, sometimes resulting in grainy images

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 However, it is primarily held back by outdated Android software (v4.2.2 Jelly Bean) and a sluggish Emotion UI that can lead to occasional performance stutters.
