Hello. I am trying to decide between mediapad x1 and x2. I see almost no difference between the x1 and x2 except for the processor. The size and design and battery and camera and screen spec seem all the same. Do you think the camera is any better on the x2 than the x1? What about screen? Or did they just use the old parts from x1?

If everything else exactly the same except for processor, I would rather buy x1 since it is cheap and out right now. x2 won't come out til May? and be more expensive.

I also have a few questions about x1. I have hard time finding good reviews. How good is the camera? Is it better/worse than Galaxy S4 camera? Also, how fast is the old kirin 910? I mean day to day usage, not benchmark since I know it bad in benchmark. With latest software update, is it as fast as snapdragon 800/801? I know raw power snapdragon much better, but for web browsing and simple apps, about the same speed?

Welcome.

The screen on the X1 is very good in terms of clarity and sharpness, so I don't think re-using the X1 screen on the X2 is a problem.

As to camera, don't hope for a good camera on ANY tablet. It works, takes reasonable pics, has some digital image stabilization.

In terms of day-to-day usage, it's fine, although some stuttering is noticeable (I'm using Nova launcher) but I have read that using its stock Emotion UI is good performance.

Watching videos, web surfing, reading ebooks and casual gaming are totally fine on the X1. I can even play Clash of Clans for about 3.5hours, which is far longer than any phone tongue.gif

It is expected that the top range X2 will go for about RMB2999, which is approx USD450-500 depending on the exchange rate.

The X1 can probably be gotten for about USD300 or less.

BTW what country are you from?
If you are rooted, you can use iFont. If you are not rooted, I don't think you can.

I am from US. I can get x1 for $350-$400 here and x2 for $450-$500 if I import from Germany but from what I can tell it won't be out until April 7 in China and later for rest of world.

I actually am most concerned about camera as everything else seems okay on either model. I have Xperia Z3 and iPad Air. I want to just use one device. The x1 has Sony Exmor R sensor. The sensor is not bad and is the same as Galaxy S4. The problem Is huawei camera software and processing is bad. But huawei releases many updates and it can significantly change how good the camera is. I cannot find updated review with latest firmware and camera samples. They are all old reviews from 9 months ago.

Huawei tout the latest x2 as having very good low light capability camera at MWC. That's why I am wondering if it the same camera sensor as x1 or better. People may say oh its a tablet it shouldn't have a good camera but the point of this device is to have best of both worlds. Huawei tout x2 as smartphone and not tablet so I hope for good camera. It have plenty of room and no reason why not. The tablet is not cheap.
