HUAWEI MatePad 12 X (2026) Review
Saw this nice little TV phone tonight, brought home by my brother. At first I thought it was one of those LG Cookie models that has a built-in TV tuner with it but upon closer inspection, turns out it’s got a Nokia logo instead.
The handset is really small and comes with a full touch screen display. The antenna is considerably longer — at least 3 times the height of the unit.
The touch screen even has that iconic “Slide to Unlock” feature that’s totally copied from the iPhone/iOS. At the back, it says the camera is rated at 12.1 megapixels which is obviously not true.
Apple, Asus, Cherry Mobile, Huawei, LG, Nokia, Oppo, Samsung, Sony, Vivo, Xiaomi, Lenovo, Infinix Mobile, Pocophone, Honor, iPhone, OnePlus, Tecno, Realme, HTC, Gionee, Kata, IQ00, Redmi, Razer, CloudFone, Motorola, Panasonic, TCL, Wiko

Had experience with two china phones and none could match any entry level phones from any company. The TV is useful during BORING moments though.

hahaha…I had one of those 3 years ago. but they called it Nokia N91i it has TV dual sim, but not active switching only. Indeed, the problem with those china made phones are hardware. Mine the battery bubbled up. I bought it because it has tv, so that when im going home from work (commuting) i could watch the news. I want to quote one china techie supplier “Jacks Toyz” and he quoted. “God created the world, but everything is made in China.”

Mahirap talaga umasa sa China phones kasi yung service center di mo alam kung saan. Pero kung gagawin mong stand alone TV lang ito pwede na.

pilit ipagsiksikan lahat nga features ng smartphone + tv tuner… may appeal sa masa, sa sobrang mura…

Pero maski ganyan yan mga china phones na yan, sila nauuna lagi sa mga branded. concentrated kasi sila sa quantity kesa quality.

12.1 mega pxl ? LOL, China’s 12.1MP is equivalent to 1MP or below.

Why don’t these manufacturers just make cheap Android phones instead? I would not mind having a cheap-looking devicee with me as long as it runs android. :p

I had a china phone once Q380 yung model. Bale yun yung unang labas kaya hindi ganun ka-low quality ang phone. Used it for 15 months until I bought a Nokia 5230. :)
