The Hisense's X1 was introduced at CES 2014 in Las Vegas. The 6.8-inch Android smartphone could easily be mistaken for a tablet because of its size.
Depending on your preferences this may be a perfect addition to your multimedia needs. The Hisense X1 comes with features like a Snapdragon 800, 13-megapixel camera, 1080p IPS display, 3,900mAh battery and Android 4.4 KitKat. All hardware buttons are located on the right side of the device for easy workability.
You should not be disappointed with performance and visual appeal. While Qualcomm's Snapdragon 800 is powering the smartphone, the experience is meant to be easy for any level of communications and mobile user. The larger screen should attest to making the font and capabilities more easily accessible and understandable.
At this point in time rumor has it that Hisense is leaning towards a late Q2 launch in the United States.
