China-based manufacturer Huawei continues its drive to become one of the world’s leading brands in Android smartphones and tablets with the release of this new 7-inch phablet, the MediaPad X2. This is among the products Huawei is presenting to the public in the ongoing Mobile World Congress 2015 in Barcelona. Let’s see what the new phablet has to offer.
At its size, users will normally begin to wonder if 7 inches is a legitimate size for a handheld device that still incorporates phone functionality. Be that as it may, Huawei claims that the MediaPad X2 is designed for “easy one-handed use” – we wonder how that is. Huawei also claims that this is the thinnest 7-inch phablet around at 7.28mm. The phablet device provides an 80% screen-to-body ratio, giving users much needed screen real estate.
Under the hood, we find a 2.0GHz Kirin 930 chipset with a 64-bit octa-core CPU and a Mali-T628 graphics chip. The phablet comes in two versions: one backstopped with 2GB RAM and 16GB internal storage and is encased in a silver aluminum back plate, and a gold version with 3GB RAM and 32GB of internal storage. The 7-inch screen is a full HD (1080p) IPS display, and the phablet comes with a robust 5,000mAh battery for 2-day operations on a single charge.
The phablet will be running Android Lollipop out of the box, and will have LTE connectivity and dual SIM options. Pricing and availability have not been announced at this point. Continue to monitor all the goings-on at the MWC via our MWC 2015 tag.
