First announced at Mobile World Congress 2014, the MediaPad X1 combines the functions of a smartphone and a tablet in an ultra-slim chassis of 7.18mm. For comparison's sake, it is slimmer than the 7.9-inch Apple iPad Mini with Retina Display which measures 7.5mm thin.

The X1 comes with a 7-inch Full-HD (1,920 x 1,200 pixels) LTPS display that has an 80% screen-to-body ratio thanks to the 2.99mm thin bezel. Unlike most of its competitors, the X1 is encased in a full aluminum alloy unibody that weighs a mere 239g.

Running under the hood is a 1.6GHz quad-core HiSilicon Kirin910 LTE Cat4 SoC chip, 2GB RAM, Android 4.2 Jelly Bean and Emotion UI 2.0. While it comes with 16GB internal storage, you can increase its storage capacity by up to 32GB via the microSD memory card slot.

Its 5,000mAh battery is stated to provide up to 21 days of standby time and more than five full days of continuous video or web surfing. In addition, the X1 is capable of charging other mobile devices with its reverse charging function.

Other specs include a 13-megapixel rear autofocus camera, a 5-megapixel front-facing camera, Bluetooth 4.0 and Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n. The X1 is available in both 3G and 4G variants. The 3G model is now available for S$498 while the 4G variant is priced at S$598 and will be available in June.. Both prices quoted are without line contract and inclusive of GST.
