HUAWEI MatePad 12 X (2026) Review
{Live @ CEL Manila} One of the spotlights at the Creative booth is the new Zen X-Fi, a portable media player that could grab some attention away from the iPod Nano.
16 & 32GB Storage
2.5″ TFT display (320 x 240 pixels)
36 hours audio playback
5 hours video playback
20 hours FM radio playback
WiFi 802.11 b/g
FM Radio
USB 2.0
Plays MJPEG, WMV, MPEG-4 as well as DivX and XviD. Other formats can be supported once codecs are installed. I thought it’s a bit thick though at 0.5″ or just under 13mm. Great video and audio quality. Will be getting a unit soon for a full review.
Price: Php8,999

once i had a Zen Vision:M. really really liked it a lot. what happened creative? year after year their products seems to be rubbish. uncool, unappealing to the youth. this X-fi is for “nagmumurang kamatis” bulky, large, pocket nemesis.
i ain’t an apple fanboy but i’d rather move to grabbing that iPod Nano. i have no use for it’s wi-fi capabilities as well as multi-codec support & the x-fi experience. MP3 & Mpeg4 suffice me, a basic simple hassle free (of converting videos) player.

Christ all mighty! Calcanis doesn’t expect to earn from ads in the next two years.
I’ll link to your review when you’ve done it.

Well it’s about time! This has been released months ago. Anyway, I’m not overly excited about these “enhancements” they’re offering with their new products. From what I’ve heard of X-Fi technology, I don’t think I will like it. I prefer my music sounding more natural.. if that makes sense. The custom EQ should be good enough for PMPs.
I’d get a Creative player any day over an ipod though. I just like the sound of their players more. Anyway, I hope to see this tomorrow when we go to the exhibit. I would get this if I didn’t already have the older Zen which I already exhaustively reviewed here:

Sorry for the shameless plug but I just think this might be of interest to those planning to jump on the Creative bandwagon. :D
And is that P8,999 price tag for the 16GB? If it is, that’s a great deal. I got my older Zen for 10k. :(

@calvin: It’s for chatting in IM. Pretty much useless for most people.
Anyway, I just saw the X-Fi yesterday at the event and it was almost weightless! Maybe it was just because it’s a demo unit. And as I expected, I didn’t like the sound of the X-Fi enhancements. They should have added more tracks on the demo units. <_<

will the SD-Card integration into the internal music library for zen x-fi same as the first creative zen? i do hope they first fix the SD-Card integration with their zen players.. :(
apt says:

the SD-Card integration for the the zen players is still sadly ignored by creative. :(

Anyway guys, the main difference of this player with the Original Creative Zen is the crystalliser sound quality and x-fi. Everything else, was tweaked but almost the same, that’s why the price…
Creative Zen 8GB – 7,999
Creative Zen X-Fi 8GB – 8,999
