Tcool, 02 Sep 2014Yes it does!Thanks for your response. Have you tried it? Is it compatible with other MHL brand (Samsung)or generic brand MHL; or it has to be Huawei brand MHL?

Been using the Mediapad X1 for 1,5 months now and here are the main pros and cons:
+ Display. Wonderful quality and brightness. Sunlight is no problem and the automatic brightness works very well.
+ Internet speed. 3G and especially 4G function really good and the surfing is a joy with my favourite browser Dolphin
+ Size. Perfect hybrid of a tablet and a phone. Fits into pockets and can be held on ear like any phone. For me this is the ultimate do-it-all mobile device
+ Look and feel. High quality feel and look, no cracks or other noises. Nice and slim body
+ Hardly anyone has this in Finland so draws positive attention :)
+ Camera. Not quite the level of the best today's phone cameras but still very good in good light. Lots of details and natural colors in pics
+ Speaker sound very good
+ Display surface very easy to be kept clean, just a wipe and it is like new
- Bluetooth connection breaks sometimes, especially if something else is being done with the device simultaneously
- Just a tiny lag exists, hopefully Kitkat fixes this. The lag is by no means disturbing although
- Have had to boot twice in 1, 5 months

It is not only about locking speed but also accuracy - the more satellites it can see the more accurate it is.

It will make a big difference. Plus, you normally do not need navigation on motorway, but in city urban areas, you do neet it.

Now you can buy it with stock Android without Huawei's UI, but has to be under the HP brand. The true problem for me of this device is it does not support GLONASS which will sure reduce the positioning performance.

I do recommend you guys to upgrade to kitkat 4.4.2. Coz It was a little lag before it with JB 4.2.2. After the update, the phone runs so smooth and fast.

Just some TV apps didn't slide it away and there it disturbed a bit. I also like Dolphin browser's full screen setting and there it is nice to have the full 7 inches in use.. I had Sony Xperia Ultra and for some reason the navigation bar irritated me there :)
