The Huawei MediaPad X1 7.0 (model number 7D-501u or 7D-503L) was, upon its release in 2014, a marvel of engineering. It packed a 7-inch 1080p display, a massive 5,000 mAh battery, and a sleek metal body into a frame thinner than the iPad mini. However, it shipped with Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean and later received an official update to Android 4.4.2 KitKat.
However, be realistic: The hardware is from 2014. Even with Lollipop, you won’t run heavy games or the latest social media apps smoothly. But as a secondary device for reading, video streaming, and light browsing, the MediaPad X1 remains surprisingly capable.
A: No. The Kirin 910 chipset lacks proper driver support for Nougat. Lollipop is the final functional Android version for this tablet.
For years, users have asked one pressing question: Can I get Android Lollipop on my Huawei MediaPad X1 7.0?
