  • It cant play 1080p and its stuck on android 2.2.2,most of the fun apps require 2.3 or later. Freezes for nothing.

  • can you edit documents with this? which ones??

  • Bought one of these used from Cowboom (Best Buy's unloader of all things used) for about $70. At this price it's a bargain. Some things to watch out for: 1. Battery life is limited (also unit appears to shut off at about 50% charge with virtualy no warning). 2.The full fledged Asian version has 3G and a SIM slot - on the US version the SIM slot has been blocked (using black foam - not clear if the SIM connections are present). 3. It is COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE to get any kind os a response from Huawei US support (the Web lists a support email, but it appears to be a BLACK HOLE). 4. Uses Android 2.2.2 - somewhat passe now. 5. Screen is very responsive (not up to Kindle Fire responsive but far superior to resistive). 6. Screen resolution is a bit limited - text, in particular, can get pixelated. I suspect that Huawei is unloading this model (look for Fire Sale prices real soon now) and that there will be no support going forward (just like now, at least in the US - so no real change). At the $300 price point I'd look elsewhere, but under a $100 it's well worth a look.

  • Hi there, I've had my tablet for just under three months, I thought it was amazing. I wasn't allowed to take it to school so I left it at home in a closet. Yesterday after school I came home and tried to put it on but it didn't respond to any touch, but the buttons worked. I could lower or raise the volume and press the off button, then the menu pops-up that says: "sound-,airplane mode or power off". Yet again I can do nothing. A week ago a bit of water fell on the screen, but was hastily wiped off. Could that be responsible for the chain of events?

  • Does this tablet support handwriting recognition?

  • I have mine for a few week's now. All I can say is "amazing" well priced , fully loaded with everything one needs. To date I have no hassle and this S7 is simply amazing. I recomend to anyone

  • Dear all, I bough mine few days ago, and I am facing a problem and I wish that you have a solution for it, the microphone level is low so when you use the tablet for TomCat or skype or viber, so TomCat can't hear me, on skype and viber people barely can hear my voice, so did you face this issue?

  • im happy with my tablet, have been using it for 3 months now. Please help i need a case or pouch for it. i reside in KZN Pietermaritzburg but can go to Durban if its there thanks

  • What is the on board memory of the S& slim

  • Hi, I found that the problem is with my memory card, once I removed it, its working perfectly fine. Never froze again, never needed to take the battery off. I browse internet regulary, video streaming is good and also downloaded many games and videos, it runs fine and fast. I would say its worth its money. Thanks, Sri.

  • i transfered my pictures from my panasonic lumix camera to my ideos s7 slim and it tells me that the files are not supported therefore i cant view them; can someone tell me what to do; thanks in advance

  • your problem is that you keep forgetting to add the correct letters into your blog. learn to spell, then progress to the more technical stuff like a tablet.

  • my problem with dis tablet is dat i cnt find the charger 4 it

  • If there is a gadget worth to be avoided it is this thing they call Ideos S7 Slim Tablet/Capsule. I bought mine from Safaricom Kenya hardly a month and it has now developed problems that have even left the importers baffled.Once you switch it on it can not open neither close. It is a high time Huawei took it back to their Labs for further tests otherwise I feel it was served too early before it was ready for the table.It is destined for the dust bin for sure.

  • I'm planning to by it but I'm still not sure.. Is it worth it? Please list the pros and cons

  • Only problem I have with MTN is that they have network-locked it. Can't use it on any other network but mtn.

What did you do to not freeze any more. Thanks, Sri

  • what kind of CPU does it have, cause according to the specs it doesn't have one...

  • Hi could someone pls tell me if this tab has voice capabilities? Like a normal phone... 2 make n receive calls normally instead of skype/voip type calls??? And what's the RAM and internal memory size??? Thnx

  • Its a great device. However, the battery doesnt last very long, but that is probably because I have the the Data switched on all the time. So it downloads and refreshes e-mails and online stuff all the time. So far I had to charge the battery every night. I now am going to switch the Data off (and only put it on when i really need it) to see if there is a difference in batteru life. Some Android apps dont work with the Tab yet, but Im sure that it will change as the popularity of the tab increases. I am currently looking for an app that can create Word, powerpoint and Excel documents. With the standard app you can only view such documents. Works beautifully if you have 3G or HSPA reception. If you only have EDGE, browsing and e-mails are very slow and delayed and you might even get a Timeout message from time to time if the signal isn't strong enough.

  • just bought a slim tab and wow it really is a great phone. cant get myself to put it down...lol

  • Battery very poor

  • battery is too bad....others is good

  • Battery s7 slim is 3250mah,can i use it into my s7 fat?.. I want to extend battery life. Now my tab can use for 3hour for wtchg movie and internet.. Very short life..

  • Very god hardware and 2.2 is good as well. Loudspeaker could have been louder, and there is no rotation in main window. Battery is ok.

  • hi bro, i'm from indonesia too, where did u buy it ? how much ? what about the processor, gsmarena don't mention it, is it 1GHz and 512 RAM ? is it already with gingerbread and support Flash ? tq

  • hi ive got my S7 for 4days,but am expierencing that,my apps that im downloading from adriot market doesnt appear on my home screen,or anywhere else,it says it will download shortly but doesnt do it?

  • The tab is awesome but the battery dosen't last at all....internet is very good & the sounds too...but they have to find a solution to keep the battery up..!

  • Ideos/Huawei S7 Slim, shipped with various specification. In Indonesia, I got the best one with 3.2MP back camera, and 0.3MP front camera, HSDPA support on 3G network, proximity sensor, phone and messaging capability.

  • please correct the specifications of the Huawei Ideos S7 Slim GSMArena Many people in my country get it wrong since they consider GSMArena as the most trusted source. I already have one, so I will try to correct the Specifications. The specifications is just the same with the original Huawei Ideos S7, but with some improvements, those improvements include: 1. capacitive touch screen 2. 3.2 MP camera on the back with WVGA video capture capability and a VGA front-facing camera 3. larger battery pack (3250 mAh) 4. slimmer and lighter design than the original Huawei Ideos S7

  • From other website, it got resistive touch screen and not capacitive

  • To root it try googling gingerbreak :)

  • Try uninstalling that application using ADB of course the bedugging mode must have been enabled on the tablet before the problem.If not, its a 'soft brick' and the only thing you can do is send it back to the vendor.Its a design flaw by Huawei.

  • i need to know the best price for it people and when i'm trying to play a race game i always get lag with going right or left please tell me what to do i bought it with 250 $ is it fine ?

  • anybody managed to root this? how?

  • Had the same problem, fixed it as follows: 1. power off (remove battery) 2. put battery back 3. power on with volume down and hold both 4. wait 1 min 5. release the phone then wipes itself to default. hope it works for you ;)

  • Both the S7 and the new S7 slim are available in Kenya at Safaricom.

  • Can anyone tell me its price, specifically in India? I'm looking forward to get one. Can we download softs for it from other sites?

  • could someone tell me can is there usb-on the go (can read flashdisk or harddisk) on this device?....

  • I just got one, and downloaded 'Go-launcher' which have disabled my touch screen. How do I get it back, cause it's pretty useless now. Does anyone know of any other launcher that I can download, cause the S7 Slim's screen can not rotate while on the home page. BTW the info above are incorrect, mine has a secondary camera.

  • Why is it never written the processor?any comment of this tablet...i need more details before i grab it if i found out its good

  • I am connecting via home WiFi router as well as GSM. You can switch either on or off.

  • Yes it can connect using a SIM card / Wifi network to Internet.

  • I'm getting mine in a day or two. From what I've read all over the internet, it has a Snapdragon QSD8250 1GHz Scorpion processor with on-chip Adreno 200. Odd how everyone seems to have different specs for this thing. Even the picture here is of an old prototype of the device.

  • you need to go to your setting, then under network setting you choose the 3g setting, from there you need to set the apn of your network provider!

  • can you help me coz i just got my S7 3 days ago but until now i cant access the internet. error message not subscribe to data which is i already have. thank you

  • What processor does this have?

  • sorry some information is wrong!!!!!! the screen is LCD support multi touch and the front camera is 3.2MP thxxxxxxxx

  • Purchased unit from Best Buy three days ago. Absolutely NONE of the problems that everyone else seems to have. Have no issues accessing Gmail or downloading items from the Android Market. I use it everywhere.

  • Do re-set factory setting & u can sign in google account as well as Android Market, i had the same problem and i am fine now.

  • can the owners of this wed page visit huawei.com and update their information on the ideos s7 slim since the camera is 3.2mega pix and the battery is Li-ION 3.7V 3250mAh.we need accurate information for acurate decisition

  • I am experiencing the same problem. My husband also bought the Huawei S7 Slim for me as a gift. Very excited to get it as a gift, but now we are both very disappointed with the fact that it does not allow us to log in and shop on the market although we have entered our google account. Is there anyone out there that can help?!!!!

  • where i can buy this mobile? give me the web address

  • My husband got one for me as an early mother's day present. It would be great except you can't get into your google account to buy any apps or download anything. The internet works fine (facebook, youtube, etc.), but it won't go to google market- it says it can't find a reliable network connection. I can't put anything on it because it can't access the google acct. Not even my email (which is through yahoo). Everything else about it is great.

  • check out best buy promotional page, S7 SLIM...I even backordered 1

  • Huawei Tablet has second camera and video for recording and playing. but unfortunately you posted No on line. kindly review this.

  • People the Us slim has not been released. In Kenya and other places its the old one. They justed updated it to 2.2. Look on huawei site. It has not been put on the market. Anyone who thinks they have the slim is correct. Sorry the truth hurts

  • i think available now from best buy usa

  • go to best buy us, preorder already, i get 1

  • Actually, its not in Kenya just yet. The one in Sale at Safaricom shops is the old version.

  • This tablet/phone isn't out jet, his predecessor S 7 is out (this one u could buy and this model has resistive and bad battery). Pleas don't spread false information on devices which aren't out jet.

  • Ebooks on scrren?

  • it will hit US 1st, then others to follow. ive been waiting this one, same specs with galaxy tab but better price

  • were did u buy it? i want to buy too

  • really? where can i find it? I'm searching for it at Roxy and they told me that they doesn't have the slim one yet

  • I think alot ppl confused with the model. The old model (S7) is resistive & low battery life. Meanwhile S7 slim is capacitive & more decent battery life. There's also the S7 Pro model

  • I think its pricing is quite affordable ... As for the functions the reviews don't tell much! Who has used it and how is the performance can it do office, pdf?

  • I've been using it for 1 month. Great phone. Minor only on battery and memory.

  • hey i need to charge every time it need extra BATTERY life

  • Can anyone who has used this gadget please tell me how thew battery behaves? I have used another huawei phone but I find that I have to charge the battery almost daily.

  • I found in my country that it uses android 2.1 eclair, not 2.2 froyo. And the display is resistive, not capacitive..

  • it is already in Kenya, courtesy of the best network provider here, SAFARICOM. visit any retal centre for Safaricom in Kenya

  • good quality at a fair price

  • internal memory 8GB price arroung $300

  • yes,,, it has gps/agps

  • hi everyone, i have just bought this S7 slim and it is carried under telstra telecom company which is called T-Touch Tap. this device is rather heavy compare to samsaung galaxy touch. the screen resolution is off. Difficult to carry around and the touch screen is not sensitive as the samsung galaxy. the 7inch screen is good but the graphic is just not upto it. i regret purchasing this device. cheers

  • Hi everybody , This tablet is already launched in indonesia :) the price is about $350
