Some days ago i try buy a high end tablet in the market.
there lots of options , i search in one of best sites i know (digikala.com), compare features and prices between devices and... have Huawei Mediapad X1 tablet now.
in this page i don't try to tell you buy this or not, i just share my daily experience with it, so you can choice better what to buy. i read most of reviews, but they don't tell me most of needs for a good choice,

 

day 0:
what i know is that CPU is lowest in compared to high end devices, but i don't need very high CPU , what interest me about this device,good battery life(very important for me), good screen for reading and watching ,good camera(13MP in paper) ,

 

day 1:
anything work as expected,battery really impress me, screen is great, don't like Huawei ui, i like pure android, i disable most default features like google play services ,google play store, google music, google books, hangouts ...
i use local app store named Bazaar app(Cafebazaar.ir) use line app for communications,Moon reader Pro, Firefox and CM Browser,
android is 4.2.2 and ui is as tablet mode(320 dpi).
OMG, first problem:
i rest on bed and read some articles, i found should trun off auto rotate, because i want just use tablet in landscape and in any moving auto screen rotation make me crazy, when i trun off auto rotate , there is default screen mode in portrait!!!, so there is no default landscape mode, it don't understand when i turn off auto rotate when i am in landscape i want to be in landscape(what i see in most chipest devices and never expect leak of this feature), so i forced to turn on auto rotate to use it in landscape

 

day 2:

i use Telewebion app for watch what i miss in day when i come back home, in multimedia anything is good enough, sound is good and screen is good for hours of reading and watching, all of this work with good battery that serve device for long days
day 3-6: i found there is some other roms that is kitkat and i can use them, so search on internet for mediapad x1 roms, what i get after 3 days searching:
there are lots of roms, most of them are for china pepoles and support english too, but has lots of china services and has lots of china apps that you can just disable them(can't uninstall), all of roms has auto rotate problem, some of them has battery drain problems, and a BIG problem : 400 DPI interface
there are in phone UI, no tablets interface, all things is large, apps detect your tablet as phone ,i found a rom that is 4.4.2 but is in 400 DPI, so i forced use them because of there is no update in 320dpi for now, that seems there is some update in future in tablet ui, i hope there is some update for lollipote(android 5) for this device. i also found Huawei has ambiguous policy about updates, there is no details and change logs, there is no news about next updates in english.

 

day 7:
at office i want to connect USB Lan and connect device to internet using it, because of IT unit alert us there is no wifi for some days, sadly it don't detect USB Lan devices, i don't see ethernet config in settings what i seen in other tablets when connect usb lan, USB Lan device work with most cheapest tablets, like ASUS Fonepad 7 (2014) FE170CG that is lower than half in price,and in most samsung tablets, so no internet at work for some days,

 

day 15:
OMG, First death pixel appeared on device, i found this when i truned off tablet and connect it to charger, in black sreen with back light on i see a blue pixel, i try searching for solutions

day 18: 

i tried most guides to fix this blue pixel with no success, i think i fixed it , but i see it again afternoon

test  http://www.jscreenfix.com/ about 6 hours

tapping and pressure,anyway not work

i bought smart Nillkin cover for tablet and using cover window, now every time i open cover, screen turn on automatically, i activate double touch screen on too

 

day 34:

WOW, huawei release new update today, i try get update and it take about 2 days(yes speed is too slow about 5KB/s,really)funny, seems they can't even produce a stable server update. after update , battery life become better and working with ui has better experinces, i don't like huawei emu anyway, my dream is get rom with pure android in this device.

day 40:

I wondered why there is no custom roms or any unofficial roms for this device, i found that is because of huawei policy that don't publish any info about this device or source , so no one can develop custom rom for this device, so if huawei decide ending publish updates for this device, after some times this device become depricated and no one can't develop unofficial update for this device.
