Hi, Bryandeep -
While it is technically feasible, if the following is true:
The new processor is from the same chipset family, and
The new processor pinout is identical. and
The support chipsets can handle the higher speeds & currents, and
You can purchase the processor (or, get a manufacturer sample), and
You have access to and the talent for using a surface mount desoldering / soldering station.
... In reality, the answer is "No". You would be much better off (and probably a ton cheaper) to go buy the fastest and most powerful Android tablet that is available on the planet in about 3 months.
That's why you aren't seeing many (any?) posts on CPU "upgrades" for smartphones.
Hey guys was hoping you could help me out since I am a big newbie when it comes to the mobile world
I am looking to buy a new phone, and one of the phones I've choosen to buy has adreno 225, 1.5ghz krait and 720p 4.7" screen (its the pantech (or SKY) a830l ).
Was hoping you guys could help me and let me know which games and/or apps (if any) I wont be able to run because of gpu bottle-neck on this resolution, and how future proof the adreno 225 will prove to be..
additionally, my alternative choice is htc One X
One X is almost twice the price of the pantechm , so I want to know whether its really worth it in terms of cpu and gpu power (ignoring the better screen for a bit).
Also, I've noticed that many 'very' powerful cell phones have mali400 (including galaxy note (1) and SIII). I've heard people say that adreno 225 is better than mali400 AND that SIII outperforms in games cell phones with much more powerful graphics card. So now im really confused. Am I missing something?

mali 400 easily outperforms adreno 225... that's why it is in galaxy s3
and it has capability upto 4 cores so it is better
more comparable to it would be adreno 320!
the "pantech" one is a good choice if pricing suits you! You'll be able to play many games but i assume 1.5 ghz krait is either dual/quad core!! If yes you are good to go!

thanks for the reply, really appreciate the clarification.
Ive seen a couple of benchmarks but benchmarks are just benchmarks. Based on current games an apps, how many games and apps are there that wont be able to run because of the gpu? and can you give me some examples? hope I'm not asking too much :angel:
the pantech 830 is Super IPS LCD 720p (4.8"), krait dual core 1.5ghz and adreno 225
Samsung galaxy Note (N7000) is Super Amoled 720p (5.3"), cortex A-9, mali400, about 25% more expensive than the pantech
HTC One X is about twice the price of the pantech (and I really doubt I need the quad core)

Well the pantech phone will run almost all games.. Games which have state of the art graphics like nova3,wild blood and latest nfs, asphalt releases might be a problem.. But those can also be made working by rooting and enabling hardware acceleration
Note and one x will run all games but i understand they are costly
Then again it comes to u, how much u want to pay!

thanks for the reply..Im willing to spend more but I just dont want spend money on hardware which I wont be utilizing. Id like to game on my mobile, but not dying do and dont mind if a few games dont work. Prefer gaming on my PC in any case.
Just want to confirm that all apps would work and I could run 720p videos on the pantech smoothly.

I heard that the Wifi receiving is extremely bad on the Novo9 due to a manufacture defect or something, is that true for all Novo9 out there?

Yes. There's a long thread about the spark/firewire unit at Slatedroid and very bad wifi reception issues.
Apparently the fix is to open up the back and do a minor tweak to the antenna, which offsets the issue caused by the aluminium chassis.
Any furtur info on best chines tablet?
Im looking to buy something in the 7" family.
My friend have Onda V972 and it is very good. In my opinión, it's the best at moment

Yes, it's a very impressive device: Exynos 4412 powered, 2Gb RAM, IPS 1280x800, Bluetooth, GPS... all for $185, not bad. I dunno about its firmware... I hope a good firmware to match its hardware (anyone knows?).
I use ployer momo tablets. But now they have quadcore ones and im thinking of an update. Try looking for quadcore rockchip3066 tabs which are very fast and responsive.

how about the Colorfly Q1 U781? The design and look is fantastic!!!!
Hope there would guru here who can work on the software!!!

i am looking for Android tablet too.My friends suggest me buy a Chinese Brand tablet(Yuandao N90FHDRK ).The 10000mAh Battery Capacity and the Quad Core attracted me.And the Configuration is quite good.(9.7 Inch Android 4.1 Jelly Bean IPS Capacitive Multi-touch Screen 16gb Internet Tablet Quad Core Cortex A9,10000mah Battery Capacity,2048x1536 Resolution,mali-400 Mp GPU Tablet Pc with Rk3066 1.6ghz CPU 2gb Ddr3 RAM Wifi Hdmi with OTG USB Cable)
PIPO M9 or CUBE U30GT2
I bought myself a chinese tablet which is going around under many different names. Freelander PD80 Vogue, Ployer Momo 11 quad, Chinavision Vice, and quite a few other names. Mine is called the Primal P9X.
They are all the same tablet.
Quad core Samsung Exynos 4412 1.4 ghz, 1028 x 720 (or whatever that standard one is), IPS screen, Mali 400 gpu. 2 gb ram, 1 gb internal, 16 gig SD. HDMI out, USB 2.0, extSD.
In short, this thing is a beast and is one of the best purchases ive made in awhile. This post marks the first time on the internet someone is linking all these tablets in one post. I know cause I went on a 24 hour wild goose chase after i accidentlally bootlooped this thing. Primal has no website and thus no firmware, but I was able to find firmware for the PD80 Vogue after i realized it was the same exact tablet. And it worked! also the Framaroot exploits (at least Sam) work on this thing.
I hope to see some development on this/these tablets soon, as they are the best thing coming outta china right now (besides the not-very-good resoltuion). If anyone needs a starting ROM to starting tweaking with, reply here and ill post the link. It was a life saver.

I am not surprised that this is just a re-labled tablet sold under many different brands considering I could not find any information about the manufacturer. I have had my P9x for two weeks now and very happy with the performance and responsiveness of it.
You mentioned finding another rom for it. Was it another ICS rom, or JB? I am interested in going to JB since my Galaxy Note II is already on it.
Anyhow, I found rooting this device to be pretty simple and straightforward. I think there are many options available. I will search for some of these other brands and see what is out there.
These is a thread discussing this on apad forum also so I will watch both of these threads for any updates.
Well it wasn't actually a rom for the primal p9x, it was for one of its clones, the Freelander PD80 Vogue. I bootlooped my p9x after installing something dumb. In an act of desperation I scoured the internet for all its clones and searched for their respective firmwares. The only I ended up findimg was the one I said. So I took the leap of faith and flashed it (put it on sd card, held pwr+vol- at startup) and it worked! Its ICS.
Its nit perfect thougj. The one that shipped with the primal was better. It seemed snappier and didn't have annoying chinese apps. Also the front facing camera seems to not be working. According to apad, a JB fw is coming soon. Eagerly awaiting that.
If you manage to make a dump/nandroid of your stock primal fw I wouldn't mind having a copy

Do any of these tablets have custom roms, or the ability to update to future android releases?
mostly they have no website or future support no?

This is exactly the right question
I have a Cube U9GT2 that I bought a while back. I based that purchasing decision on the community support it had. If you buy a device with kick ass hardware, but no devs behind it then it may end up close to useless. Rather than looking at paper specs check whether there is community support as it is much more critical when dealing with Chinese tablets (no website, no support, etc.). just my 2¢
Hi all, I am about to buy a new tablet but I am confused and I cannot make any difference between original or Fake Tablets
I have found many Tablets like:
- Havit Tablets
- MemUp SlidePads
- Archos Tablets
- Prestigio Tablets
- Bogo Tablets
- Arnova Tablets
- LexiBook Tablets
- NextBook Tablets
- Storex Tablets
- Maxell Tablets
- Sanei Tablets
- EnergiSystem Tablets
- And more...
Some of these tablets have 1Ghz Cortex A8 and A9, 1GB of RAM, a Good GPU like Mali 400 and Google PlayStore Pre-installed !
But some have only 1Ghz Cortex A8, 512MB of RAM, no GPU and no Google Play (Apps market are AndroidPit, or Opera Apps Market)
Most of them have Android 4.0 or 4.1 and 4GB of Storage with SD Card support up-to 16GB to 32GB.
I would like to know if these Brands are recognized internationally or they're just fake (Tablets maybe fake or chinese).
Achos is a good brand especially with their achos gamepad tablet

Thx luigi0824, but the prestigio seems to be good.
The MultiPad Prime 7" seems to be a powerfull cheap tablet with 1,2Ghz of Processor, 512MB of RAM and a powerfull GPU Mali-400MP. It may run lots of games with no problem.

Only one I recognize is Archos, which also makes the Arnova Tablets. The rest seem like cheap walmart brand tablets lol. Whatever the case I think it's best to go with brands like Asus, Acer, Lenovo, Samsung, Sony, and Toshiba. It really depends on your budget. However, the safest bet is to look up the tablets on youtube and see what they're all about. That way you will know what your getting.
I was wondering tht how a tab with 512 mb ram can be considered powerful
I think it will suck
Need at least 1gb ram
Thank you for helping me

Hi ajay1919,
You totally wrong here about the RAM !
Exemple: The Galaxy S I9000 have:
1Ghz of Processor
512MB of RAM
and as GPU weaker than the Mali-400MP
But everything turns like a charm on this Phone !
So with 1,2Ghz of Processor
512MB of RAM
and a Mali-400MP GPU, I think the tablet might have no problems playing games like Asphalt 7 !

Yup, But these brands tablets are expensive because they are internationally recognized !
Unfortunately my budget doesn't allow me to buy a so expensive tablet, so I am gonna try the Prestigio MultiPad Prime 7" !
I was wondering about its @root, but I have seen some threads here on XDA about this, also videos on YouTube and threads on Russian Forums !
If you still buying a tablet than buy ainol tablet. One of them have 2GB ram 16 GB internal storage 1.2quad core processor and have low cost only 155$ USD

Yup 1 gb of ram is the absolute sweet spot. I running the galaxy player which is pretty much a galaxy s i9000 without the phone and ram is always an issue with it. I had to get like 3 memory managing apps to keep it running smooth.
I would not even look at anything with less than 1GB of RAM, my phone has 2GB and even that comes close to being fully used sometimes.
With the cheaper unknown tablets just be careful with the CPU/GPU combo that they use, especially if you want to play games.
Also, in the future, if you want to root and flash custom roms it can be very hard or next to impossible to find roms for knock-off or no-name tablets.
Good luck.
Archos and Prestigio !
Archos is a French Brand !!!
Prestigio also make great Tablets.

Anyone know anything about these? They were mentioned as one of the candidates for Ubuntu as a replacement for the Android Operating System, but I've heard nothing more about it lately.
Thanks
Google will probably be your friend here... also the search function up top!
I do know that several of the "off-branded" tablets that aren't as popular don't get much support.
