I'm Andrew Hoyle for CNET and this is the hallway media pad x1 a 7-inch Android tablet with a full HD display the quad core processor and 4G LTE that means that this slate is arguably more phone than it is tablets the slate is clad in a cool blue metal shell which apart from making it feel nice and sturdy also looks pretty good too that's helped by its skinny body and narrow bezels around the screen which make it look like a much more premium luxurious device there's a speaker at the top on the face and a microphone in the bottom which means you can make calls send text or use 4G LTE data just like any other phone it's only at sheer size that means it's probably not going to be suitable as a phone for everyday use the display has a full HD resolution which makes icons and text looks satisfyingly crisp it's bright - and have good colors and viewing angles making it well-suited for watching Netflix shows or just browsing the web running on the disappointingly old Android 4.2 jellybean has its core but who are away his its emotion interface over the top with no apps right it takes a bit of getting used to from regular Android but it's wide selection of themes that change app icons and color schemes at least makes it a bit fun inside it's running on a 1.6 gigahertz quad-core processor which has plenty of juice video streaming or a bit of gaming the hallways software doesn't seem to make good use of the power hand navigating around the interface can be very sluggish in January and there's often a delay of a couple of seconds between hitting the home button in an app and actually seeing the icon on your home screen although I like the customization options of Huawei's custom interface it comes at the cost of seriously limiting the protesters power making it at times very frustrating to use I would love to see a version of this tablet with stock Android on board around the back is a 13 megapixel camera and as a capacious five thousand and milliamp hour battery inside although it's let down slightly by its old Android software and its clunky interface the x1 7-inch display 3 petal body and into the LTE connectivity they get a good option to consider if you're struggling to decide whether to splash out on a new phone or a new tablet I'm Andrew Hoff CNET and this is the flyweight media pad x1
