What do yall know about that new Dell Streak Coming out? Cause it should be the talk of the town right now. lol
For those who dont know, the new Dell Streak , also known thruout the internet rumours as the Dell Mini 5 or Streak 5, is a fully fledged and capable Tablet Pc coming to AT&T later this summer thats also a phone. These are the Highlights:
1. 5in Capacitive Touchscreen w/Multi-touch. 800x480 screen resolution. in 16:9 aspect ratio. the way movies in movie theatres are shown.
2. Android operating system. Already guarenteed to get Froyo shortly. im not exactly sure of the one it has on launch. All Over the air updates. Including the new Adobe Flasher player 10, or whateva it is. lol
3. Basically a any network, type of device. Its coming to [email protected], which is GSM, but can also work on tons of others including CDMA. This will be a 3g device or greater off tops.
4. Dell has their own well put together visual UI on top of Android. for an even better experience.
5. Has the latest WIfi, bluetooth , gps technologies in it.
6. Has the latest Snapdragon processor in it. which is a big increase from current snapdragon processors. and i believe it also might have its own DSP dedicated processor for video. Im telling u , this thing is sooo slick and moves so fast thru the UI or pages.
7. DDR2 ram or something. not exactly sure or how much of it.
8. supposedly 16GB internal memory
10. micro sd card slot or the full size one. i think its the micro. up to 64GB, if ya got it. lol
11. USB port or ports. might b the smaller one, hopefully standard size. either way it can be a usb host. meaning plug up any keyboard, or mouse , or cam or whateva u want..oh ****..
12. DUAL CAM for video conferencing. Front facing VGA cam. rear facing 5mp cam. Dual LED Flash. it goes on and on. lmao
13. Fully Capable Tablet PC
14. I believe about 8hrs. battery life or whateva. not sure of the details of standby time and all that. either way, thats great of a device of this stature.
15. Can play movies up to 1080 on its screen. it can play out 780 on a tv. those numb. might be slightly off. but its supposed to play the highest one out on its screen and play the second highest to ur t.v.
16. HDMI output on device. yeahhhh...
and moreeeeeeeeee.........lol
SO BASICALLY, one this comes out, I can take my sim card out of my Rhodium Tilt 2. plop it in the streak. and im good to go till the next millinium. lmao

demandarin...the laws of physics just called, they said they'd like to have a few words with you
anything officially stating it has the new 45NM snapdragon processors? because i seriously doubt it.
and, the EVO is just as capable, and much more pocketable.
*facepalm*

oh my fault, Phunk. lol i forgot to put what they meant. i mighta got a numb or 2 mixed up. well it has the same resolution like the tilt 2 except reversed. As far as the quality of movies it can play, it can play the best. layman terms .
Yes, the EVO is very capable also. thats probaly the next best. But the Streak is more of a Tablet PC with phone capabilities. EVO is a phone, with some, pc capabilities. Yeah its a face palm..lol but look at the quality of its screen and the size. People will be mesmerized by it. my father is getting an EVO. i was up late last night schoolin him on xda website, showing him the ends and outs. I blew his mind once i showed him my AOSP Android build on my WM phone ;-) he was like, aint that illegal to have that up there, u might get arrested...lmfao i told him, thats just the tip of the iceberg, here at XDA. I gave him information overload, it was too much advancement. hes stoked right about now on all of it.

Youre late on the streak..lol Dell is already selling them through china's market you can pick them up for $300-$500... Ive seen (albeit in disbelief..) 7" touch screen tablets with quad-band capability.. I just ordered a unit similar to the dell called a QiGi Smartbook running WM6.5 on a Marvel 624mhz processor got it for $250..it also has a 5" screen which I need.. 3" is way too small to do anything with but get a headache! the older unit was the qigi U1000 called the "Mypad".. if youre looking for phones with good touchscreen real estate check out the MID500, Eking S515, MIDphone SV01, AIGO MIDphone.. these three units are all modeled after the new XP Phone from ITG which hasnt been released yet and theyre Sliders that sport 5" touch screens and come in flavors of linux, android and XP embedded.. I havent seen them cheaper than $500 and I think thats because the modem is pci-e and are pretty pricey (almost half the cost of the phone itself..) I liked the dell when I first saw it (jack bauer uses one on "24") but then I started seeing all these other units people were sleepin on and decided why wait?? to be honest, the chinese are waaaaay ahead in this arena and I think its because the US thinks about how much can we bilk consumers out of first and make them think theyre getting something never seen before... NOT! when I see phones with 3 bootable OS's for half the price of a US unit with a pretty today screen I have to wonder!... My phone should be here next week and I cant wait to see SPB mobile shell on a true widescreen!! 4.3"??? hahahah!! 5" babeeeee!

I prefer a smart phone which will never come on earth.
Android version : 12.3.4 (apple cake)
Inbuilt memory : 32 gb
Rom : 10 gb
Camera: 20mp primary , 5 mp secondary.
For now its enough, later i demand for much more(just kidding).
Goog thread i say:thumbup:
basically the GS4 but a 4k screen (will have to be closer to 5" then) with S pen and 8 GB of ram plus 128 gb built in micro sd micro hdmi and mhl wireless charging dual band wifi plus a qwerty, a huge ass battery maybe 10000mah, some awesome speakers, a 3DS type glassesless 3d display 2 awesome cameras on the back (galaxy camera, lumina 920, etc), 2 normal (for back) cameras on the front 8/16 mp, and ruggedized. It'd be brick like but awesome
actually maybe make a version with only 5000mah and no keyboard for slimmer profile
The design of a HTC One, but a 15mpx back camera, 8mpx front camera, 64gb internal memory and i've heard about MeRam, wich can reach 128gb, it will be really amazing, and I think it's a future not so far!

I'm sorry but are you daft?
It already is 5", and it can already handle 4k media, but having it on a 5" is completely useless... in fact even the 1080p display is an overkill.
8gb RAM for what, exactly?
10'000 mAh battery would be bloody fantastic though
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
I thought the gs4 was slightly under 5" whereas the world's smallest 4k display was slightly over, also not thinking to straight size wise
The 8gb of ram would be nice to have for having apps open, I find my transformer can get bogged down pretty quickly with only 1gb and stuffs starting to come with 2gb so to future proof instead of the 4 next year or 2015 go for the 8 of 2016/2017
Actually it'd be much more useful for running the arm based versions of desktop oses
1080p isn't overkill at 5" it's just not really worth it. You can notice the difference between 1080p and 720p maybe even between 1080p and 900p but except some people with penile displays no one is complaining about 720p. The idea is that now you could get some giant magnifying thing to turn it into a 4k tablet sans touch
And I just realized I forgot a pico projector
And while I'm at it let's through in some laser pointers (one of each color currently available) along the top on the side of the ir blasrer
Does it have a barometer? Also let's add a retractable antenna. Also radio and TV tuners wireless charging and let's through in a full sized usb port and make that mini hdmi full size
The real reason for 4k over 1080p is the 3d
Also it needs to be capable of being really bright, and have 2 rear and 1 front led camera flashes along with satellite phone capabilities plus all band gsm, lte, and cdma built in
Maybe throw in some emp protection like all offline parts being shielded in an internal Faraday cage
All the usbs have to be 3.0 of course maybe add a mini usb for compatibility with other chargers. Actually add a proprietary 100pin connector that supports accessories like an apple 30 pin or lightning bolt adapter or an ethernet port or a tazer or a hand crank charger or basically anything you could ever use or want plugged into your cell phone. Also it should charge through motion like the ecodrive watches and through heat like being in your pockwt
Also have them use parts designed to be able to be replaced or upgraded (still soldered for space reasons)
Also let's add 2 more audio jacks and make all 3 capable of being headphones & mic, mic, line in, line out, guitar amp and combined surround sound audio
At thus point this thing pry cost near the millions so let's add a Kingston lock port
Oh and the keyboard is red back lit
Also this needs a military grade radio and it's now a super classified cia device thread closed
Oh and the screen has that fluid tactile thing that's been prototyped, where the screen can actually form bumps and buttons and stuff
I almost want to add some wheels and a retractable rotor and make it capable of driving and flying back to you if lost but that's probably a 100pin add on
Also give this thing a super vibrator like in the it crowd but capable of being set much lower

e-ink and battery
The best will be smartphone with 2 screen - 1 standard and second e-ink. Reading e-books on classic lcd is very tiring and battery killer. All simple things I could do on e-ink.
And when will be made baterry that can work 2 weeks without charge? Battery is weak link of smartphones...
Any Jelly bean android phone with a battery life of 4 or more days
A phone with a 4 inch screen, its outside would be made by carbon fiber. It would have 4 cores, 2 ghz, 6gb ram, dual boot(android and windows pc version)... It would be controlled by mind u wouldnt have to touch it. It would have 200 mpixels as the 1st camera and 20 on the secondary. Battery would last for about a week with hard core gaming, and it would be even tougher than nokia 3310
i must be aware of not falling asleep reading these features. I want a fullHD mirasol display with neonode touchsceen and fullHD microvision laserprjector...and of course open source...sw is enough
A phone that walks itself to the electric point, gets itself plugged in and charged when battery is low..
A nexus phone made by HTC,with sound boost speakers, 5 ultrapixels camera(bigger than 4 both in resolution and size),removable battery,64gb option,sd card slot,3 buttons layout,same screen as on htc one,a 4000mah battery

Ultimate is something like the last one.
Since releasing of smartphone is not ultimate.
So if there any last smartphone(no chance)then that would be my ultimate Smartphone(no chance)
Something like:
4.8 inch screen
battery life for heavily use - 16 hours!!!!
6GB RAM - the more RAM is better
1080P resolution with 500 PPI
Included FM radio
Great audio quality!!!!!
Great photos quality!
Quad Cores and lighting fast performance!
For now u have smartphone of these features,but no ram of "16 GB"
My LG BP730 3D UltraHD upscaling Bluray player has miracast and private sound features that may be useful for screen mirroring.
It works fine with my samsung galaxy S4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRSVyxyuO_M even for full HD videos

Are you still happy with this device (LG bp730)? I'm considering buying a 3d BluRay player with miracast support... have you tried any others? I'm especially curious as to how it compares with the much cheaper Toshiba BDX5400. I would also appreciate more details about strengths and weaknesses of the LG unit after having used it for a while.
I'm planning on using it with a Note 2 and an LG 65LM6200 3D TV... if you have a similar setup, can one magic remote work for both devices? I find that the menu & apps (amazon prime, youTube) on my LG TV are often sluggish, any improvement on the bluray player?
Thanks for the input..

sorry for the late reply, just saw your post. Was on a few weeks holiday in aug so didnt see your post. Came back to a gazillion emails in my account so might have missed the alerts from here.
I have update my amazon Uk review for this player. It works fine for bluray and 3d bluray on my LG smart TV. The private sound mode just works for bluray and not other stuff which was a disappointment. There are some firmware bugs, once as i was repeatedly trying to get the private sound mode to work for other stuff the device froze and i couldnt even eject the bluray. Even rebooting a couple of times didnt get the bluray to eject, but after a couple more times it did work fine.
Smart apps on any smart TV or smart bluray player are a joke. I have a smart sony TV, another smart LG tv and a smart sony bluray player and another smart LG bluray player. All their smart features are barely OK but really ****ty in comparison to any cheap android stick or android minipc. Android mini pc is much more versatile when plugged into a regular TV. In my youtube uploads I deliberately showed an android mini PC being used with an old cathode ray TV and now that old smart cathode ray TV with android minipc is smarter than any new smart TV. on the youtube upload the picture looks crap, but on the TV its not crap. Reason it looks crap on the upload is because the cathode ray TV is 420p and i shot it in a 1080p camera and uploaded to youtube in 1080p and hence the 480p TV shown on 1080p camera upload looks crap. Just mentioning this to show that android mini pc is a better buy if you just want smart features.
If you want miracast the netgear ptv3000 dongle is good (also shown on my uploads) and this miracast on this bluray is also good. I havent used the toshiba so cant comment about its quality. I have used miracast on sony TVs in shops and they work fine.

try to see is the problem is some interference. You can check yourself by sitting in various areas around the tv with clear line of sight between tv and the note with nothing in between, if the case on your note has metal then remove the case have you updated the tv firmware. try to link TV to internet via ethernet or powerline adapters instead of wifi. the tv connecting to wifi and miracast at same time might cause some interference. hope this helps.

Thanks for the info.. I was mostly interested in 3d bluray and miracast from a single device... a better / faster UI & apps would be nice, but I probably won't buy the lg since it sounds like it probably isn't that much better than my LG TV, but costs more than the toshiba.
:good:

Hi everyone,
I got a good few hours with the Galaxy Note 3 over the weekend, so I thought I might drop a line about my experiences with the phone
This was the S800 version, and it had the AB binning of that SoC
[UPDATE]
Actually I looked into the bin situation some more after some of the enquiries here. The network guy I was in contact with said it was the AB binning as it was clocked at 2.3Ghz. I took that as read and hence posted that information here, however it looks as if even at the 2.3Ghz clockspeed there are two binnings for the GPU speed. Bottom line I can't categorically state this is AB bin, my apologies for the lack of clarity there everyone.
Here is what the Voodoo Report says, as you can see it depends on whether the 0007 revision corresponds to the AB bin:
Hardware : Qualcomm MSM 8974 (Flattened Device Tree)
Revision : 0007
Firstly, while its very subjective I really loved the faux-leather back. I like that there is now no 'correct' orientation for inserting the S-Pen, and that the S-Pen works with the capacitive buttons. The screen was set to the Film mode and was very good, no complaints whatsoever about pixel density, seemed a fair amount brighter than my S4 when out taking shots with it. It flew with the S800 of course, hardly surprising given it wasn't loaded with apps and has that much power at its disposal. Finally going to the widgets section didn't lag like crazy as per previous versions of TW. Although there were only a handful of contacts loaded, which may have made a difference, I did revel in seeing no lag whatsoever launching the contacts app (finally!). Running PPSSPP as a graphics stress test it managed ~23fps on Tekken Dark Resurrection, which is starting to get up into the playable realm (my Octa S4 for reference manages only ~11fps). On less demanding games results even better - Disgaia Afternoon of Darkness was basically perfect running full speed with sound and with frameskipping turned off (which makes me extremely happy). The S800 still isn't up to playing 1080p 10-bit video, which was to be expected. It did manage it slightly better than older SoCs though, so perhaps in the next 1-2 generations of SoCs we'll see this become doable. My time with it was too short to make any sensible comment about battery life, sorry.
Here is the RAM situation, seems the Exynos version has about 300Mb more free RAM going off Sammobiles, but here is a screen from the S800 version:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

Free storage ~25Gb, a pleasant surprise as I expected less:
I was really surprised (and pleased) to find rapidly accessible defaults management is available:
It let's you choose the colour of the screen visible in the S-View cover:
The have further expanded one-handed use settings, in this slightly strange one you can run everything in a little window with onscreen buttons if you wanted (!):
I made a camera comparison and the shots are up at Flickr here. Included with the Note 3 are the Xperia Z1 I also had and an S4 and Pureview 808. Methods: All shots on auto, all shots taken at same time in same position, lens cloth used to wipe lens covers clean prior to every shot, several shots captured on each phone and best selected for the comparison (if you take one shot only and get one with a completely aberrant focus/white balance etc, in other words a poor outlier not reflecting the cams usual quality, then that isn't especially useful for a comparison like this). Caveats: In all likelihood neither the Z1 or Note 3 on release firmwares, the light in the outdoors scene a bit variable due to moving cloud cover. I have my own thoughts on the photos, but if you haven't seen those on Twitter already better to let you draw your own conclusions before I say a word.
I took a 31s 4K video and was quite impressed at how smoothly it handled fairly quick panning, that 31s cost 177Mb in storage and was recorded at 48Mbps (see mediainfo screen below). The Note 3 was having quite a bit of trouble playing this video back it is worth noting, probably also worth noting that my laptop would not play it AT ALL!
The following information I put in a dedicated thread in the accessories forum, but probably of interest to folks here too:
A few findings of mine from the weekend:
External drives work, but unfortunately NTFS formatted drives still don't work on stock ROMs. It had the power to spin up a 1TB Seagate drive! Unfortunately the drive was NTFS formatted so couldn't do more to see how well it was working, but definitely was powered with a solid indicator light. Promising.
The Smart Dock works with the Note 3
The S3/Note 2 MHL adapters definitely work
The Samsung MHL 2.0 adapter works without needing a charging input plugged in and IS outputting at 60Hz
USB audio working, I tried several DACs. The ones that worked were the HiFimeDIY, Tiny-M, HeadAmp Pico. Unfortunately Apex Glacier did not work (did not work on the S4 either).
USB keyboards/mice working as they did with the older Samsungs
PS3 controller working over USB OTG
Ditto for the Xbox 360 for Microsoft controller (which required an app on older Samsungs in order to work)
Logitech F310 controller works too
Ditto the Logitech F710
It also worked with a cheapie gamepad from Ebay (like $6), although button mappings seemed limited and did not have time to try it in emulators etc to see whether all could be mapped.
BT keyboard and mouse working, as expected
IR blaster via the inbuilt app works great with my LG TV
MHL and USB OTG do not work together using the Samsung MHL 2.0 adapter
Moga Pro gamepad working well
Tried several ethernet adapters, none work.
Unfortunately the one I had did not have the USB 3.0 cable/charger, so could not benchmark read/write speeds or charging speeds using that connectivity.
The Z1 seemed quite large in comparison given the disparity in display sizes:

Let's talk camera. I'm guessing the PureView was "baseline." The N3 and SGS4's cameras seem pretty comparable. The color balance on the N3 seems a bit off; especially on greens. Your Octa SGS4 has the Exmor RS sensor in it, do you think the N3 is using "R" like the S-600 SGS4 is? Was the one you were playing with final or pre-production? From the SGS4 camera discussions I know you know cameras. What are your thoughts?
Also, did you get to do any low-light testing? At the launch event Samsung called-out better low light performance as a feature. Smart Stabilization (stupid name) was thought to be a s/w OIS equivalent but appears to be tied to capturing better low light pictures.
Smart stabilisation: Set the device to automatically detect darker conditions and adjust the brightness of the photo without the flash.
The size comparison to the Z1 is pretty shocking; especially with the N3's chassis having a slot to store a 4" pen.
I will definitely post my own thoughts on the camera, but it's waaay past time I was asleep, so that will have to be tomorrow sorry.
Quickly in relation to the other things: yes, size comparison was a bit shocking! I think this was final hardware, but I don't think it was quite final firmware. No idea about particular sensor in use here, my partner in crime sent Supercurio a Voodoo Report, so hopefully he can help us out there.

Hi, thanks for the review! I just wanted some clarification on these two points:
Are you saying that you were able to use the official current Samsung Note 2 MHL adapter without needing the charging input plugged in? I ask, because if there is no reason to buy an official Note 3 MHL adapter (which will probably be released soon), then I'll just use the adapter for my Note 2. Just wanted to make sure...

Hi everyone,
I got a good few hours with the Galaxy Note 3 over the weekend, so I thought I might drop a line about my experiences with the phone
This was the S800 version, and it had the AB binning of that SoC
Firstly, while its very subjective I really loved the faux-leather back. I like that there is now no 'correct' orientation for inserting the S-Pen, and that the S-Pen works with the capacitive buttons. The screen was set to the Film mode and was very good, no complaints whatsoever about pixel density, seemed a fair amount brighter than my S4 when out taking shots with it. It flew with the S800 of course, hardly surprising given it wasn't loaded with apps and has that much power at its disposal. Finally going to the widgets section didn't lag like crazy as per previous versions of TW. Although there were only a handful of contacts loaded, which may have made a difference, I did revel in seeing no lag whatsoever launching the contacts app (finally!). Running PPSSPP as a graphics stress test it managed ~23fps on Tekken Dark Resurrection, which is starting to get up into the playable realm (my Octa S4 for reference manages only ~11fps). On less demanding games results even better - Disgaia Afternoon of Darkness was basically perfect running full speed with sound and with frameskipping turned off (which makes me extremely happy). The S800 still isn't up to playing 1080p 10-bit video, which was to be expected. It did manage it slightly better than older SoCs though, so perhaps in the next 1-2 generations of SoCs we'll see this become doable. My time with it was too short to make any sensible comment about battery life, sorry.
Here is the RAM situation, seems the Exynos version has about 300Mb more free RAM going off Sammobiles, but here is a screen from the S800 version:
Free storage ~25Gb, a pleasant surprise as I expected less:
I was really surprised (and pleased) to find rapidly accessible defaults management is available:
It let's you choose the colour of the screen visible in the S-View cover:
The have further expanded one-handed use settings, in this slightly strange one you can run everything in a little window with onscreen buttons if you wanted (!):
I made a camera comparison and the shots are up at Flickr here. Included with the Note 3 are the Xperia Z1 I also had and an S4 and Pureview 808. Methods: All shots on auto, all shots taken at same time in same position, lens cloth used to wipe lens covers clean prior to every shot, several shots captured on each phone and best selected for the comparison (if you take one shot only and get one with a completely aberrant focus/white balance etc, in other words a poor outlier not reflecting the cams usual quality, then that isn't especially useful for a comparison like this). Caveats: In all likelihood neither the Z1 or Note 3 on release firmwares, the light in the outdoors scene a bit variable due to moving cloud cover. I have my own thoughts on the photos, but if you haven't seen those on Twitter already better to let you draw your own conclusions before I say a word.
I took a 31s 4K video and was quite impressed at how smoothly it handled fairly quick panning, that 31s cost 177Mb in storage and was recorded at 48Mbps (see mediainfo screen below). The Note 3 was having quite a bit of trouble playing this video back it is worth noting, probably also worth noting that my laptop would not play it AT ALL!
The following information I put in a dedicated thread in the accessories forum, but probably of interest to folks here too:
A few findings of mine from the weekend:
External drives work, but unfortunately NTFS formatted drives still don't work on stock ROMs. It had the power to spin up a 1TB Seagate drive! Unfortunately the drive was NTFS formatted so couldn't do more to see how well it was working, but definitely was powered with a solid indicator light. Promising.
The Smart Dock works with the Note 3
The S3/Note 2 MHL adapters definitely work
The Samsung MHL 2.0 adapter works without needing a charging input plugged in and IS outputting at 60Hz
USB audio working, I tried several DACs. The ones that worked were the HiFimeDIY, Tiny-M, HeadAmp Pico. Unfortunately Apex Glacier did not work (did not work on the S4 either).
USB keyboards/mice working as they did with the older Samsungs
PS3 controller working over USB OTG
Ditto for the Xbox 360 for Microsoft controller (which required an app on older Samsungs in order to work)
Logitech F310 controller works too
Ditto the Logitech F710
It also worked with a cheapie gamepad from Ebay (like $6), although button mappings seemed limited and did not have time to try it in emulators etc to see whether all could be mapped.
BT keyboard and mouse working, as expected
IR blaster via the inbuilt app works great with my LG TV
MHL and USB OTG do not work together using the Samsung MHL 2.0 adapter
Moga Pro gamepad working well
Tried several ethernet adapters, none work.
Unfortunately the one I had did not have the USB 3.0 cable/charger, so could not benchmark read/write speeds or charging speeds using that connectivity.
The Z1 seemed quite large in comparison given the disparity in display sizes:

Thank you for this extremely informative post. :good:
How did you find out that the Note 3 uses the AB binning?
Can you confirm that the GPU runs @ 550 MHz? And what about the memory clock speed?
Verry onteresting post. Now its almost impossible to wait....curious to grab that beast in my hand
Thank you for sharing your thought. It seems you know tech very well.
The nicest thing I've read the the reduced lag in touchwiz. I hope it's true. From videos I've seen, it still seems to lag in certain areas such as S Finder, S Note,
Also the little difference in size between note3 and z1 is because the latter has much unnecessary bezels on sides, top and bottom.
Can you confirm if the audio quality is better/louder than note2? Does the bottom placed speaker grills make a difference?
I found one thing that was interesting in this review. The screenshot of the RAM statistics shows a total of only 2.38 GB. My N2 has a total of 1.75GB. I know that some RAM is reserved for system/OS use, graphics, etc., but when the N3 was announced to have 3GB of RAM, I assumed this meant that the total available RAM would be something like 2.75GB, not 2.38GB. That's about a 370MB difference, which is not trivial.
I'm curious if the different variants of the N3 will have different total RAM numbers...

I do care about available RAM, because Android's LMK/LRU memory management still closes applications, and this causes issues (yes, I know the LRU settings can be tweaked). For example, on my N2, even though it has 2GB of RAM, apps (such as the browsers) still occasionally close. While it's true that they at least open up all the tabs from the previous session, the page contents themselves are not cached, which means that if I'm on a slow 3G connection, it can take forever to reload all the pages (I typically have at least 15 tabs currently open).
The more total and available RAM there is, the better. Memory management means basically nothing if it results in apps frequently getting closed.
The Note 3 was having quite a bit of trouble playing this video back it is worth noting, probably also worth noting that my laptop would not play it AT ALL!

@NZtechfreak, That sounds really odd to me. A phone is supposed to playback a video flawlessly which is shot by itself.
There is a Elysium 4k trailer. You can try playing that. It plays fine on my 2 year old dell n5110, and should be fine on a Note 3 too.
Nice review.

What about sound quality of Qualcomm DAC, its support 24bit 192KHz so what it's like compare to Wolfson DAC? (ON S4 Note II S III S Exynos version.)
Can you talk a little about build quality? Maybe compare it to the likes of the G2 and Z1?

Huawei Mediapad X1 (Honor X1) – Review
For a little over a year competing brands have been increasing their screen sizes and seeing just how far they can push the limits. Huawei’s latest entry to the big screen wars comes in with a huge 7 inch display. What I like about these new 7 inch devices is the borders have been scaled back making the finished product noticeably smaller than a tablet but giving you tons of screen real estate to work with. While the Huawei Mediapad X1 also known as the Huawei Honor X1 is not for everyone, those customers that are looking for a true phone, tablet hybrid might find the device they have been looking for.
Unboxing
I bought the Huawei Mediapad (Honor) X1 from Merimobiles and had it shipped by DHL. It took a few days for the order to process and ship, and then about 4 days to get it from DHL. The phone was well packaged to ensure no damage occurred.
The box had more of a flat design to accommodate the larger phablet, which allowed it to be removed out of the side. Inside was the X1, manuals, headphones, micro USB cable, and wall charging adaptor. I found it odd that a SIM tray tool was not provided. I had one already, but failing that something like a paperclip could be used.
Check out the Unboxing video here.
Specs
7 inch 1920 x 1200 display
1.6 Ghz Huawei Hisilicon Kirin 910 quad core (ARM Cortex A-9)
Mali 450MP4 GPU
2GB RAM
16GB internal storage with expansion slot
5MP front camera
13MP rear camera
5000 mAh battery
Check out the full video review here.
Physical features
The Huawei X1 measures in at 183.5 x 103.9 but is fairly thin at just 7.2 mm. Somehow Huawei have managed to cram a 5000 mAh battery into it. The device feels very solid yet only weights 239 grams. On the right hand side of the phone is a power button(bottom) and volume rocker(top).
On the right hand side at the top is the expansion card slot with the single SIM slot on the bottom.(Just a heads up, it’s a Micro SIM)
The bottom right has the micro USB connector.
The top just the right of centre has the 3.5mm headphone jack.
The front facing camera is on the right hand side.
The rear camera is on the top left, with the loudspeaker on the bottom right.
Overall you can tell this is a quality device.
Display
The X1′s giant 7 inch display is 1920 x 1200 with 323 ppi and is actually quite good. It is plenty bright and I didn’t find myself in a situation where I couldn’t see what was on the screen. It’s responsiveness was good in that it wasn’t too sensitive nor did I have to be overly firm to get it to do what I wanted.
Software
Huawei’s Emotion UI reminds me of Lenovo’s Vibe ROM. They both favour a system of dropping icons on the screens similar to that of the iPhone. I’m not a fan of that setup and also loaded on Nova launcher to ease my dissatisfaction. The pulldown menu was fairly standard. It had a main set of icon’s but with a second pulldown you could expose the rest of your essential settings. The settings menu has a simple “general” tab along with an “all” tab. Huawei have also given users more control of what the device does by default with a startup manager, a permissions manager, and a notification bar. If you want to get rid of the navigation buttons you can easily hide them, then bring them back when needed.
These are nice touches but the device did have some lag on it. Whether that is the software or the processor is unknown, but it is there and very noticeable. The device has also locked up on me several times.
Skype loaded but the bottom portion of the messaging screen was missing so you couldn’t write anything. I also experienced issues with apps that should periodically scan for new messages and send them to to notification bar to alert you. Even though I allowed them in the notification manager it still was hit and miss.
Hopefully updates will fix all of these issues.
WiFi
The Huawei Mediapad X1 only supports 2.4 Ghz WiFi. The way I tested it was by taking a speed test right beside the router, a second one at the furthest point of my upstairs level, and a third at the furthest point of my basement.
Router = 26.68mbps
Upstairs =10.44mbps
Basement = 10.11mbps
These aren’t the strongest results I’ve come across but are certainly acceptable. I can use the device in any location in my house with no issues, which includes streaming music or videos.
Call Quality
I promised myself that I wouldn’t put this monstrosity up to my ear in public, but at home I did for testing purposes. I imagine it looked very foolish, but the bottom line is the call quality is very good. If you don’t care about how silly it looks holding this huge device to your ear you will be able to enjoy the crystal clear call quality. I prefer to use a bluetooth headset with it, or a bluetooth car system when on the road.
Speakers
The speaker for the Huawei Mediapad X1 is located on the back of the device. I tested it with YouTube, movies, and of course a variety of music styles. It performed very well giving an added audio depth in all situations with just enough volume. With the DTS function disabled the movies still sounded good, but when I enabled it the results were quite impressive. In action scenes, gunfire and explosions were very full, adding to the experience. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like going to the theatre, but for a mobile device it was a very pleasant surprise.
With headphones the audio was very good with the music being clear and loud.
Video Playback
I tested the video playback with an assortment of formats in VLC player and all worked well. I had a good idea of how this device would perform in the graphics department as it is using the Mali 450MP4 which is the exact same GPU as all of the Mediatek MT6592 devices I’ve used. While it’s not top of the line graphics, it is more than capable. Watching videos on a 7” display when out and about is definitely pretty nice. I call the X1 my portable big screen tv.
Web Browsing
For some reason the X1 always redirected me to google.com.hk. No matter what I did to confirm my location it insisted on redirecting me. This forced me input a google.com/ncr which makes sure Google doesn’t change the location by country. Once I got that sorted out web browsing was fine and pretty much on par with other current devices other than the obvious bonus of viewing everything on a huge screen.
Cameras
I thought the 5 MP front and 13 MP rear cameras would be one of the strong points of the X1 but they weren’t quite as good as I expected. They were good in bright natural light, but did create some noise in fairly standard shots when indoors with less light. If you are expecting cameras on par with the newer flagship devices like the Lenovo Vibe Z,Oppo Find 7, or Vivo Xshot you aren’t going to find them here.
Good but not great.
GPS
The GPS on the Huawei Mediapad X1 works very well. I recently went on a trip and used the GPS extensively with Waze. I was very pleased with it’s performance and never experienced any confusion. Any navigation errors that occurred were entirely my fault (this is the only time I’ll admit that).
To test it I put it in airplane mode to eliminate any data assistance and got a cold lock in 11 seconds. Subsequent locks were immediate. Very slid GPS performance with the added luxury of it being on a 7” display.
Benchmarks
This is were the Huawei Hisilicon Kirin 910 gets revealed for what it is. Yes, it is underpowered by todays standards, but it is functional. The upside is, when paired with a 5000 mAh battery it does very well in the battery life department. More on that later.
Antutu
21,959
This puts the device ahead of things like the Samsung Note 2, Galaxy S3, and Nexus 4,but below the HTC One, Galaxy S4, and any of the Mediatek MT6592 devices on the market.
Nenamark 2
57.3 fps
This is a very good score considering most Mediatek MT6592 1080p devices are scoring less than 50 fps.
CPU Prime
2901
This puts it slightly ahead of the Nexus 4 but far behind the Samsung Galaxy S4.
Vellamo
HTML5
1900
Metal
686
As you can see, the results fall somewhere between this years tech and last years tech. Of course benchmarks aren’t everything and I found the functionality of the device just fine other than the slight lag here and there.
Battery
This is were the Huawei Mediapad X1 really shines. This thing just keeps going and going. With moderate use I can easily get two days of use.
One day I used it a fair amount which included screen on GPS. I thought I was charging it that night but my wife had unplugged it from the wall without me knowing. When I woke up the next morning it was still at 60%, so I didn’t bother charging it and it easily finished the next day with 11% remaining.
When I put it on a video loop with auto brightness, it managed an awesome 10 hours 10 minutes.
Gaming
I tested the X1 with Dead Trigger 2, Asphalt 8, and my new addiction, Front Line Commando 2.
The device uses a Mali 450MP4 so I expected performance on par with Mediatek MT6592 devices. This proved to be the case as it automatically put graphic settings in the mid range. Gameplay is smooth and VERY, VERY enjoyable on the 7 inch HD display. I played Front Line Commando for about an hour and a half and only lost 16% from my battery.
Final Thoughts
All phones have pro’s and con’s. So lets go over the Mediapad X1′s.
Pro’s
Huge HD screen in a fairly compact and thin device creating a great experience for anything Media related, hence the name Mediapad X1
Massive 5000 mAh battery that allows you to enjoy the size of the device without fearing battery is going to die on you
Expandable storage. Even though it has a sealed design Huawei prove you can have make room for an expansion slot. Rival phone makers take note!
Con’s
Lag. Not what you want to find on a just released device.
Processor. The Hisilicon Kirin 910 is so far behind the competition it’s not funny. Huawei need to step up their processors, or start using someone elses.
I really enjoy using the Huawei Mediapad X1. I feel like I can use it for whatever I want for as long as needed without ANY fear of running out of power. Huawei clearly built the phone around the name Mediapad, because media and games is where it really shines. While the phone is not a powerhouse or an over achiever, it is a great jack of all trades.
The bottom line is, those that like large devices are going to love it, and those that prefer the standard 5-5.5” phones are going to think it’s a freak show.
The question “Is it a tablet or a phone?” can only be answered by you. I call it a phone.

i read on the user manual (available online) something about air sharing, but seems it needs a huawei tv box (mediaQ)
i would like to know if this box is needed, or if the x1 screen mirroring can work without it, if the tv is miracast compatible
specifically, if the screen is actually mirrored to the tv, not only when some media like photo or video is pushed to the tv via dlna
(for example during browsing, can i see the browser in the tv screen?)
with my xiaomi m2s when i activate wlan display , i can see the phone screen mirrored on the tv...
do you think that this happens also with the mediapad x1?
thanks!
Sorry, I can't say for sure. I don't have anything to test it with .

ok no problem,
tks
probably if you try to download, install and launch the app 'dashcam' it tells you if the app is compatible with the device... (if not, it give the message 'uvc driver missing' or something like that...)
by the way, i bought a small webcam that is a microscope/endoscope, that can be used to inspect things such electronic circuits pcb, and also for medical purposes (included are some accessories), but also to inspect things that can not be seen directly (like a small screw in a hidden place of the engine of the car)
this works with my acer a500 (and app dashcam) so i was wondering if i could use the mediapad too (that is more portable)
Dashcam loads onto the device but like you said it gives a uvc driver error. Sounds like a really cool webcam you bought.

Yes,
take a look to this aliexpress store (they can send the items from UK warehouse):
http://www.aliexpress.com/store/127104
I've just got one of these, and it's so good I am retiring my Galaxy Note 2. I use Go Launcher on it, and don't see any lag. It's a perfect size for me - fits in my jacket pocket, small enough for the occasional phone call, and a tiny bezel yet a large screen make this as big a step up from the Note 2 as that was from my ZTE Blade. As noted, battery life is just amazing. Use it all day, and I'm still on 60% battery left. I got the Chinese version. Most of the interface is in English, but the utilities are in Chinese - the help app, and the Huawei market, in particular. It comes with some bloatware, but much of that can be uninstalled. There's a lot of fine control over app permissions, and a useful cleaner utility. SIP calling i not enabled so you will need a separate SIP app if that's your thing.
Root for honor x1
I received my honor x1 :good: (not bad so far), I was able to root on a link meant for the huawei honor 3c(listed below) . Hope it helps. Just wished there were more cases for this thing. Im using it with Cricket (was AIO Wireless) in the US with no problem. Im still using the Emoticon launcher (it's ok), with some tweaking it becomes very snappy(the quad core it's not the most powerful). Screen is excellent. no problems fitting in back pocket. Camera is ok (haven't really tested it). Any question let me know.

Im still using the Emoticon launcher (it's ok), with some tweaking it becomes very snappy(the quad core it's not the most powerful). Screen is excellent. no problems fitting in back pocket. Camera is ok (haven't really tested it). Any question let me know.

hello mediapad x1 owners...
can you please check if wifi display (miracast) works on your devices?
i am not able to get information if wifi display (miracast) is supported by the mediapad X1
if not, can you please try to install the apk
'wifi display (Miracast) helper'?
this should enable the option on the device, if missing
Let me know!
Thanks!

I've just got one of these, and it's so good I am retiring my Galaxy Note 2. I use Go Launcher on it, and don't see any lag. It's a perfect size for me - fits in my jacket pocket, small enough for the occasional phone call, and a tiny bezel yet a large screen make this as big a step up from the Note 2 as that was from my ZTE Blade. As noted, battery life is just amazing. Use it all day, and I'm still on 60% battery left. I got the Chinese version. Most of the interface is in English, but the utilities are in Chinese - the help app, and the Huawei market, in particular. It comes with some bloatware, but much of that can be uninstalled. There's a lot of fine control over app permissions, and a useful cleaner utility. SIP calling i not enabled so you will need a separate SIP app if that's your thing.
