Huawei has done it again. They have been able to get into the top 6 smartphone shipments because of their wonderful out of the world innovations. They have finally made the MediaPad X1 official. This 7-inch tablet weighs just 139 grams and is 103.9mm wide. That makes it both the lightest and narrowest 7-inch tablet around. As for its thickness, it remains slim at 7.18mm. Despite being so thin, a 5000mAh battery managed to find its way into the device.
By far the most interesting of the lot is the MediaPad X1, which is just 7.18 mm thick, outdoing the Nexus 7 2013’s 8.4 mm and the iPad mini 2’s 7.5 mm. It comes with a much narrower body, tipping the scales at an impressive 239 g. The 7″ screen sports a 1080p resolution and surpasses the 300 ppi threshold for a sharp experience at 323 ppi.
Huawei has blurred the line more than ever. It swears blindly that this 7-inch Android device is a tablet, but it also has a SIM card slot that provides 4G LTE data as well as letting you make calls and send SMS messages — functioning, essentially, as a phone.
You also get a pair of cameras: 13-megapixel f/2.4 on the back, and 5-megapixel f/2.2 on the front. There’s 16GB of internal storage, and you can add up to 32GB of external space via microSD. The SoC here is Huawei’s HiSilicon Kirin 910 (as seen on the Ascend P6S), which features a 1.6GHz quad-core Cortex-A9 CPU, along with 2GB of RAM and a Mali-450 MP4 GPU.
If you were not a fan of Huawei devices, I think this will be a good pick.
