The new Ployer MOMO19 is an Allwinner A31 powered slate with a below average 9.7 inch IPS screen. Yes, this device is all about the chipset, and I’m talking about a quad-core processor based on Cortex-A7 frame. And until the RK3188 powered PIPO M9 goes on sale at the end of this month, this is probably the most powerful Chinese tablet you can get your hands on.
Key Features
◇9.7” 16M-color IPS display of XGA resolution (1024X768 pixels)
◇Weighs 630g, 238.4mm*185.5mm*9.3mm in size.
◇Allwinner A31 chipset: Quad-core 1.2GHZ ARM Cortex-A7 processor; 2GB of DDR3 RAM; PowerVR SGX544MP2 GPU
◇Stock Android 4.1 Jelly Bean
◇16GB of built-in-memory
◇VGA front facing camera; 5.0MP rear-facing camera
◇ACC Stereo speaker
◇HDMI TV-out
◇USB host
◇MicroSD card slot
◇Standard 3.5mm audio jack
◇Adobe Flash 11 support
◇2160p video playback
◇8000mAh Li-Po rechargeable battery
Retail Package
The tablet is packed in an extremely slim paperback box.
Along with the tablet itself, I also found those things in the paperback box.
Design
My first and lasting impression of the MOMO19 was one of a well-constructed and durable machine. The tablet's brilliant In-Plane Switching (IPS) screen is a premium panel that's fronted by damage-resistant Glass, and the back side is black aluminum. These two sides of the slate give it a look and feel that instills confidence when you hold it in your hand.
At 630g and 9.3mm thick, it's not the lightest or thinnest option around, though ployer isn't exactly known for churning out ultra-slim tablets. Still, the MOMO19 feels great in hands, and that extra bit of thickness lends the device a solid, reassuring grip.
Similar to other Chinese Android tablets, I have seen a strong showing of ports and slots. Besides the Micro USB data port and 3.5mm audio jack, there is also a Mini-HDMI connector, a 2.5mm charging connector, and a microSD card slot to augment the 16GB of internal storage. What should be mentioned is that Ployer has carefully covered the micro SD card slot and HDMI, USB port with the dust-proof lid. As for hardware controls, there are only a power/standby switch and a back button. You have to use the touch screen to control the volume of the device.
Display and Sound
As for the 9.7 inch display itself, it can hardly be described as eye-catching. The resolution stays XGA standard with a PPI of 132, easily dwarfed by those tablets with Retina or FHD displays. However, I would still say it’s a decent choice since the Soc. manufacturers haven’t made that much progress in the GPU department of the chipset to work a retina display perfectly.
The IPS display on the MOMO19 has great viewing angles and vibrant colors, but the brightness of the screen is quite weak, making it almost impossible to use the device outdoor.
Despite having only one speaker gate, this model played music clearly. We tested it with Fun’s energetic "We are Young" and Lana Del Rey's soft and melodic "Video Games", not only was the music comprehensible, the volume was also quite pleasant. The ACC enhancement gives the sound some stereo effect, too. I have already streamed many clips of online videos since I received the tablet two weeks ago.
Software
I've rehashed Jelly Bean so many times that it feels downright superfluous to spend more than a few sentences outlining this tablet's Android 4.1.1 software. Still, with Google I/O around the corner, the prospect of Jelly Bean looms, and it's worth mentioning that newer devices such as the MOMO19 will probably get a 4.2 update at some point.
As with many other Chinese Android tablets, the volume rocker sits on the system bar. Ployer didn't exercise more restraint than usual with the software pre-load on this tablet. Booting the tablet up for the first time, you'll be greeted with Dopool, Chinese perpetual calendar, YouTube, QQ music, Winrar, Baidu Input and 4k video player app-- not to mention the full Google suite of apps and a bundle of productivity programs including MOMO HD app market and Documents to go -- in the app menu. Never fear, though: you can cut down on the bloat by disabling what you don't need under Settings.
Navigating the Android 4.1 interface is very fluid and easy, I have never encountered any glitches with the tablet's responsiveness. Even when I was scrolling through photo-heavy sites, the MOMO19 stayed smooth and sloppy.
Performance
We're getting quite used to seeing Chinese tablets that serve up Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean with smooth, fast performance now, and the MOMO19 belongs to this breed, thanks to the all new quad-core Allwinner A31 CPU, which is based on ARM Cortex-A7 frame and used 40nm workmanship, The main frequency of each core can reach the speed of 1.2GHZ. The choice of PowerVR SGX544MP2 as its GPU made A31 one of the most graphically powerful chipset ever made for Android devices.
As a tablet using a brand new chipset, MOMO19 has done pretty well in most of the benchmark tests. In Nenamark2 and Antutu benchmark tests, MOMO19 has beaten all the Cortex-A9 dual core tablets. Although the scores of HTML5 and Metal tests through Vellamo seem somewhat disappointing, but I seriously doubt it’s due to the lack of optimization for this new chipset, and I hope there will soon be firmware updates which help unleash all the powers of this new quad-core tablet.
The Ployer MOMO19 is a much stronger performer than those benchmark score numbers illustrate. Everything—opening apps, multitasking, playing games, browsing the Web, streaming HD videos—on this device happened quickly and smoothly, without lag. In my crazy multitasking test, running a few online-chatting applications in the background, streaming several online HD videos in the stock browser which has already opened more than 20 tabs of image-heavy web pages, and I am also using the 4K player to run 4 HD videos on different floating windows at the same time, The MOMO19 remained very responsive.
Thanks to the impeccable PowerVR SGX544MP2 GPU, playing games on the MOMO19 is even more pleasurable than it is on Exynos 4412 powered tablets such as the Benyi Miracle One, everything happens faster with more graphic contents. I have already been very skilled in playing games such as “Crazy Cars” and “Asphalt 7” on RK3066 and Exynos 4412 tablets, but with the MOMO19, I have to readapt coz everything comes in more frames within the same amount of time.
When it comes to video playback, MOMO19 is even more powerful, the Allwinner Soc in it can easily support different formats of clips to 2160P, and the 4K video player app can enable playing 4 clips of HD videos in 4 different floating windows. The IPS display and the ACC stereo speaker make my video watching experience with MOMO19 the most enjoyable ever!
Camera​
The MOMO19 has been treated by Ployer with a 5.0 Mega-pixels rear facing camera and a VGA front facing video-chatting camera. For a tablet, the rear side camera can shoot above average images, but the front-facing camera is more or less a disappointment, it cannot even do a decent job of producing clear facial images during video-chatting.

Battery Life​
The MOMO19's 8000mAh battery really helped the slate stand out on my Battery Rundown Test, which involves running a 720P definition video on loop with the screen brightness at 30 percent, speaker volume at 50%, and WiFi off. The unit ran for 10 hours and 2 minutes until the battery died. It is quite decent since RK3066 tablets with the same screen size and battery capacity can only last a little more than 8 hours in the same test.
Of course, this is still no match for the Benyi Miracle one’s 12:40, but it definitely outruns most of the Chinese Android tablets currently on the scene. That the MOMO19 delivered this number while using a more powerful, faster processor than the dual core generation of tablets makes this even more remarkable.
Wrap-up
I wasn't entirely sure what to expect from a tablet engineered around a brand new A7 frame quad-core processor. But I can say with confidence that the MOMO19 is an excellent tablet. It comes with the latest technology, generous storage, abundant ports and slots, exceptional battery life, a nice screen, and a high quality rear-facing camera—all for a very competitive price.
Ever since the A31 chipset hit the market, there has been fierce debate whether quad-core A7 processor can outdo dual core A9 processors such as RK3066 and Amlogic MX in raw processing power, and how it will compare to existent quad-core chipsets such as Exynos 4412 and Tegra3. I may not be entitled to tell you on the most scientific level whether A31 beats RK3066, but I can say that A31 processor can produce far more than enough power for running any android application smoothly, at least that’s what you can expect MOMO19 to do!
If the MOMO19 is the bellwether, though, 2013 promises to be an exciting time for tablet enthusiasts. Since the generation of quad-core Android tablets is evolving right before our eyes, I might suggest waiting to see what comes next before dropping down your dollars for a vanguard machine like this one. However, I can say with confidence that the MOMO19 is a good-looking, strong-performing tablet that seems poised to stand proudly with the rest of the 2013 tablet pack.

After the Ainol NOVO8 dream turned out to be a horrible nightmare, I am desperately in need of a decent tablet to test, and PIPO M9 arrived just right on time!
Key Features:
◇10.1 inch 16M-color super IPS display at WXGA resolution (1280X800 pixels)
◇Rockchip RK3188 SoC., quad core 1.8Cortex-A9 processor, Mali-400MP4 GPU, 2GB memory
◇Stock Android 4.1 Jelly Bean (Already upgraded to Android 4.2)
◇16GB of built-in-storage
◇2MP front facing camera; 5.0MP rear-facing AF camera with LED flash
◇Stereo speakers
◇HDMI TV-out
◇USB host
◇MicroSD card slot
◇Standard 3.5mm audio jack
◇1080p video playback
◇7800mAh Li-Po rechargeable battery
Retail Package
PIPO has never been mingy with the bundled fittings, you will find these things in the retail package:
Design​
The front is dominated by the 10-inch touch screen and black glossy bezel, rimmed in gray plastic. You will find a 2MP front-facing camera in the middle above the display (vertical mode). The bezel of the M9 is relatively small compared to other 10.1 inchers such as the Cube U30GT2 and the Ployer MOMO20.
When it comes to ports and slots, PIPO has never been, and doesn’t plan to be the pioneers of minimalism, you will find a micro SD card slot, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a 2.5mm charging port, a mini HDMI port, and not one, but two Micro USB ports (one as slave and one as host) along the top edge of the device, which also plays host to a power/standby button as well as a home button. I personally would have preferred to find the physical volume controls instead of the home button, but somehow PIPO has decided we should use the status bar on bottom of the screen to control the volume.
Again, where feel is concerned, The PIPO M9 is just right on the ball. The back sports a brushed aluminum finish, which gives the device a feel of expensiveness. And the two sides are plastic, offering the slate a nice and solid grip. A 5MP AF camera is located in the top middle of the aluminum back, along with an LED flash.
Unlike the M8, The M9’s speakers are on the back of the tablet and are in danger of being covered by our thumbs. I didn’t like this arrangement at first, as I am clearly more of a fan of the front-facing speakers of the M8. But when I found out that the sound the M9 produced was absolutely the best among all Chinese tablets, I finally found peace with it.
The tablet is fairly light and comfortable to hold and while most part of it does feel like plastic, it doesn't feel unpleasantly plasticky or cheap. Its 10mm thickness doesn’t help it win a beauty contest, but actually gives it a feel of sturdiness.
Display
As the primary point for interaction, having a good screen on a tablet is critical. The 10.1-inch IPS+ display on the M9 is plenty bright and offers decent visibility outdoors. The full brightness of can reach 500 nits, which outshines the fourth-generation iPad (400 nits), as well as the tablet category average (287 nits).
Unfortunately, the 1280 x 800-pixel panel on this slate has a lower resolution than similarly priced tablets. The CUBE U30GT2 has a resolution of 1920 x 1200, not to mention the Onda V973’s Retina resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels. But I am not that big on pixel density, as none of the Chinese tablets with retina display gives satisfactory performance at the moment, I’d rather wait a little longer. The tablet's viewing angles were fair, but reflections got in the way when viewing the panel off axis.
Color saturation and contrast ratios of the 10.1 inch Hann Star display are decent, but not as eye-watering as the 9.4 inch LG display sported by the PIPO M8.
Audio​
​
I greatly appreciate that the M9's stereo speakers. Although it does not create the effects in which the sound is coming directly at me in watching movies or listening to music (which the M8 is able to do), I still like its excellent volume, which is even higher than the two HP notebook PCs of mine!
OS & Interface
Like most of the RK3188 tablets, The M9 comes loaded with Android 4.1.1 out of the box, but it has already been upgraded to Android 4.2 within the period I was testing it.
Unlike most of the other tablets with stock Android, PIPO has actually managed to leave its own mark. Two sets of exquisite user interfaces are provided for the customers, one is the updated version of the launcher we have already seen on the PIPO M8, and the other is developed recently for the M8 pro, now also adorning the M9.
I really fell in love with this brand new Metro-like launcher which offers five screens. The middle is the Home screen, and the other four are respectively marked as App, Office, Media and Web. You can easily add shortcuts of your favorite apps on these screens.
Unlike the other launcher, this Win8-like interface does have a portrait mode.
Performance​
The 1.6-GHz quad core RK3188 processor and 2GB of RAM in the PIPO M9 put up some impressive numbers on my benchmark tests. On the Quadrant benchmark, the M9 scored 5456, nearly twice the average (3,074) and much higher than the Beneve Miracle One, which uses Sammy's quad-core Exynos 4412 processor.
On the graphics-focused Nenamark2 test, the M9 scored 56.3 FPS, higher than the category average. But the Allwinner A31 powered ICOO ICOU7GT scored a much more impressive 59.1FPS.
The M9’s real-world performance was impressive. With several apps running simultaneously, I was still able to navigate the Note's home screens and apps menus with ease. Graphically intense games like "NFS 17" and “Predators vs Aliens” also ran smoothly.
HD video playback on the PIPO M9 is even more of a breeze, with the tablet easily coping with 1080p footage of all formats.
Cameras​
I don't get too hung-up about cameras on tablets because they're unlikely to be set to any great task. But PIPO has produced a camera that is actually pretty decent, giving us an F/2.8 aperture lens and flash to get you out of trouble when it's dark. Photos contained plenty of detail, good color balance, and I would happily share them with others.
Photos shot by M9
Even details are quite authentic
2MP front-facing cameras can get the video-chatting done perfectly!
Screenshot of the video captured by the M9​
On the video front, the M9 offers 720p capture, but I wasn’t that happy with the quality, even with perfect lighting, the video can turn out grainy and noisy.
Connectivity​
The M9‘s Wi-Fi module is made by MTK, giving the slate wonderful Wi-Fi reception. Even 10 meters away from the Wi-Fi router, I can still use the M9 to stream HD video online. The addition of Bluetooth2.1 also makes the tablet easier to use in daily life.
Battery Life​
The PIPO M9 has featured a 7,800mAh LI-PO battery. The capacity itself isn’t really that impressive, since lots of tablets are already equipped with 8,000mAh + batteries. However, thanks to the 28nm process the RK3188 Chipset uses, the actual battery life of the M9 is AMAZING. It can single-loop a 720P video (Sammy Adams - Only One) for nearly 12 hours and stream an HD Korean TV show online for over 9 hours!
Power loss during standby is also very little, whether the Wi-Fi is on or off!
Verdict​
The PIPO M9 is a machine that looks likely to stand the test of time. Its performance is top-notch, its design is stylish. It's also well-specified and well-equipped with ports and connections, offering greater flexibility than you'll find on some rivals.
The good:
Extremely powerful RK3188 quad core chipset
10.1 inch Super IPS display, nice visibility outdoors
Exquisite Metro-like user interface
5MP rear facing AF camera with LED flash
Outstanding stereo speakers
Great Wi-Fi reception
Excellent battery life
The not so good:
The display is not as wonderful as the one on the PIPO M8
The design is not as edgy as the M8
The resolution of the display stays WXGA standard
Although, as a tester, I should not be biased, yet I still have to say that PIPO is absolutely my favorite Chinese tablet brand at the moment. I strongly believe their differential competitive strategy is going to be beneficiary to both their brand image and market share. Also, PIPO will soon release the all new M7 pro, a tablet with RK3188 SoC. and an 8.9 inch PLS display from Sammy. I am really looking forward to its arrival!

I was looking at this tablet as an alternative to buying nexus 7 or spending too much for other 10" tablets. I was wandering if I buy it from Amazon would everything be in English and does it have all the Google Apps?

i want buy some cheap tablet for gaming , browsing n for ebook whether these tablets perfect for me ??? but most importantly to play games
sorry bad englis

Great Review.
Stellar review. Very comprehensive and informative. Thanks.
Can you point me to a similarly comprehensive review of a Pipo 4.1+ tablet with GPS? Pipo M7 Pro.

Great review.
I have an M9 for a couple of months and I'm extremely happy. My money couldn't have been better spent.
I agree on everything you said but I must also mention:
- The camera isn't good at all with low light conditions.
- connection to pc via usb and transferring files it's extremely extremely extremely slow. Backing up the nand can be a pain.
- A screen this size screens for better resolution, more dpi's or something.

Good review!
Looking at buying an Android 4.2 tablet and came across one of these. After this good review, I think I have seen more positives than the few negatives so I will purchase it. Hope its OK. Hate buying things from distance selling. :fingers-crossed:
Only tablets in the local shops are Samsungs, Asus and Apple iPads.

Great review. I think wxga resolution is just right for 3188 because of kinda old Mali gpu. Though powerful enough to handle gaming, I find it can't provide smooth interface animations on retina-like display.

Got one of these myself ( aka Sumvision Cyclone Voyager 2 ) and I'm really happy with it. I was a bit miffed that it didn't support exfat ( unlike my year old cheap Chinese tablet ) but it does support NTFS, so now I can put large files, like HD films, on my 32gb memory card without having the maximum file size warning

On memory card perhaps, I haven't tried, but into the internal memory (nand flash) you can't.

Yep, sorry, I meant just the memory card.

But good to know that at least works on external sd:thumbup:

Question?

@padlad Are the Sumvision Cyclone Voyagers simply Pipo tablet with a different badge? Looking for a replacement touchscreen for Cyclone Voyager 1 but no luck so far. Thanks

Hey,
I came across this thread in a google search. Thank you for such an in-depth review. I am about to buy a tablet for my father for his birthday. I have narrowed down the list to 2 candidates and I would really appreciate your opinions!
It is either Pipo M9 PRO or the Ployer Momo12 10.1 Inch
Which is the best, in your decision, and why? I have read amazing things about the two of these.
Any info would be great! Here is a link to the review for the Ployer that I came across:

Didn't know that there is such a good tablet for this price.

Review: iFive Mini 3, An iPad Mini Clone with Retina Display and Android 4.4.2

The good: Matte-finish back cover and gilded trim deliver a premium feel. 2048-by-1536 Retina screen shows crispy details. Pure android 4.4 OS with emoji, capacitive buttons of screenshot and full screen. Neat design with no physical button except the power starter.
The bad: Switch between home screens and photos are not very smooth. Camera has very low real resolution and contrast.
Bottom line: A plain tablet in performance, but with features to catch eyes.
A good stuff may be good in many ways, only a few of which are learnt by hearts though. When the second generation of iPad Mini is mentioned, what’s the first thing coming to your mind? A7-plus-M7 CPU collocation? Double antenna? HD facetime camera? Double microphone? Perhaps we were fond of talking about each of these shortly after the 7.9-inch tablet was released. But two or three months later, for most people, all they remember is an iPad mini with Retina display, just as its official name suggests.
So iFive, the Chinese tablet PC manufacturer, was smart to also imitate the 2,048-by-1,536 screen resolution when it imitated iPad mini 2. An iPad mini clone with Retina display sounds closer to the original product and with some sense of high tech.
But I’m a sober man who, thus, is not to expect some excellent stuff out of 198 US dollars. A cheap 4-core CPU plus equally cheap 4-core GPU process 3.14 million pixels during every switch of picture at a speed beyond the distinguishing of your eyes? Bite me!
All I hope to see is only something normal instead of a crap. So I’m starting my check step by step.
1.Design:
I love the look of iPad Mini 2, so I’m not going to complain on that of its clone. By comparison with the iPad, iFive mini 3 has the same shape, same space grey rear side with matte finish, same shining silver-coated trim, same position of front and back cameras, and same proportion of display to bezel.
Some minor differences are of course needed to escape legal accusations. iFive’s speaker mouth was a far smaller one located near the bottom; the power button, TF slot, USB port, 3.5mm headphone Jack and microphone are in a queue on the top edge; and you don’t find any other physical button throughout the tablet. Reasonably, the iFive is a little bit thicker than iPad mini to contain a 5,200mAh Battery.
I don’t find any flaw in craftsmanship from the one iFive mini 3 I held in hand. In fact, this is the best crafted among all the Chinese phones or tablets I tested these days. After all, appearance is the prior selling point of the iFive tablet.

2. Display:
iFive itself boasted of the Mini 3 as the world’s second 7.9-inch Retina tablet. According to the GFX benchmark, the display does have a resolution of 2,048 by 1,536 pixels and the 324PPI density indeed has reached the standard of Retina.
Retina means you don’t distinguish pixel from pixels even though you strain your eyes. This definition is exactly how I feel about the display of iFive mini 3. As a matter of fact, this screen shows perfectly crisp details and vibrant colors.
Here I took a photo with iFive mini 3 and iPad mini 2 compared via the same picture of 2,048 by 1,536 pixels. You can see iFive is worthy opponent.
3. Performance:
This was the first time I used a benchmark app to get a score before I play games for real experience，because i was so curious how much the mini 3 would notch by such a top-heavy hardware configuration.
As anticipated, GFX Bench 3.0 gives horrible low scores for the tablet’s graphics processing ability. It says the mini 3 is able to deal with only a few frames in one second at its native resolution. Fortunately, we do not often play 2,048-by-1,536 videos or games, so the device has not been slaughtered.
By real experience, i frequently encountered after images in the switch of home screens, though it is not that intolerable. And when i opened a picture in Gallery, i can saw the progress from blurry to clear in a bout 1/2 second.
However, the device has no problem playing 1080p videos. I tried the live ballet Swan Lake Part I by the Royal Opera House in 2012 in MKV format with a code rate of 14,367Kbps and frame rate of 25fps (34 minutes, 4.3GB). You can see from the video review that there was no delay or hiccup.
I could say this tablet is not for demanding games even if it was not with the burdening quad HD display, since Rockchip has not produced a CPU targeted at high-end gamers. So i should not say it is the iFive’s drawback incapable of supporting thrilling speed in NFS, Most Wanted.
4. Operating System
iFive mini 3 runs on the pure Android 4.2.2 system with Google Play Store enabling you to download any apps you want. What’s new to the capacitive buttons array include the full screen icon for you to hidden these buttons when playing games or make them appear when you need them. That’s why the Mini is able to keep only one physical button.
Another virtual button added is for shortcut screenshot, which liberate us from the burden of installing such apps. And the most user-friendly add-on may have been the Emoji icons in the input keyboardd. Finally, we can freely express our emotions during messaging or emailing as we do with IM apps.
5. Camera
Sometimes high face-value resolution leads to high-definition photos, sometimes not. Unluckily, iFive mini 3 belongs to the latter condition for its blurry pictures and dull colors.
6. Battery Life
I believe the battery life is very close to the officially assumed 5200mAh, because without long-time gaming, it decently last me for a day. You may feel weird that in my reviews i always say something can last a day. But have you ever used an android stuff which can insist 2 days?
7. Conclusion:
It’s natural that a cheap product has some drawbacks, but it’ll be sad if it has nothing special to boast about. iFive is clearly aimed at some people, who, i think, don’t want to spend too much on mobile devices, pursue visual delight, but don’t care too much about operational smoothness.

Great summary! And I can just confirm your statements. I do run Kitkat from Kasty on my mini3 retina and the 1,8GHz OC kernel from fdzonerom. This combination really flies!

No commercial links here, so i can't tell you. Now it marks down to ifive mini3 185.99. You can search "Ifive mini3 185.99" on google.
And here is the preferences:
CPU: Rockchip RK3188 ARM Cortex-A9 Quad-core Processor
CPU Frequency: 1.6GHz
GPU: Mali-400 MP4
RAM: 2GB
ROM: 16GB

I bought this tablet and I arrived yesterday evening.
For the little use that I did not need to create that change the rom installed.
I can just do it and give you my opinion.

Interesting. I wonder if there is a noticeable slow down due to the larger resolution.

Can you write a few lines about web browsing? Any lags? Maybe you can check this site: www(.)salon(.)com - on my iPad (I) it hardly works ... very slow and crashes a lot.
It would be very helpful.

you'd better make a conclusion by words,

Thanks for the great review!
Seriously considering this tablet if only for the 4:3 display.
Hoping you could answer done questions for me mate.
Size wise it's Donmar to a nexus 7 2013, just a little wider?
The usb charge port is just a standard type. I once had a super long version for one of my Chinese phones.
Normal games like Tetris or Bad Piggies will run fine?
Can the OS be rooted?
Thanks again!

I think your right. Its might be worth holding off untill the Rockchip 3288 versions come out
Have a looky at this link to compare the 3188 in the mini 3 against the 3288.

Very good post good job

Just an update for the OC kernel users:I've switched now to the 1,7GHz kernel due to a much lower power consumption of that kernel. In order to avoid crashes after deep sleep, I'd recommend a min frequency of 504MHz

the site salon ... works like the others.

After a month with the tablet I can say that is a very very good bought.
If somebody would make a cyanogen rom port, definitely would be perfect.
I had installed a custom rom and worked perfect but yesterday I installed an overclok kernel and now is better!!
The site salon works very well, with opera and with chrome.
I have made two videos with two of the most powerful games graphically.

A $50 RK3188 Tablet – the Acube U25T (quad core) Hands-on Review

It's not easy being a 7-inch tablet these days. With relatively inexpensive devices like the Lenovo A3000 and Kindle tablet offering a whole lot of bang for your buck, budget tablet makers are facing stiffer competition than ever before. Acube's latest offering -- the 7-inch u25GT (quad-core)-- has its work cut out for dominating the lowest end of the Chinese tablet market. With the 8GB model priced at less than $50, the petite U25GT prioritizes performance and screen over its other functions, perhaps in the hopes that its proven RK3188 quad core processor and the power it generates will woo picky buyers. But does the U25GT (quad-core) have what it takes to compete in a crowded market? Read on to find out.
Key Features
◇7 inch PLS display at WSVGA resolution (1024X600 pixels)
◇Weighs 340g, 191*116*10mm in size.
◇Rk3188, 1.4GHZ dual-core Cortex-A9 processor, Mali-400MP4 GPU, 512MB RAM
◇Android 4.4 Kitkat
◇8GB of built-in-storage, expandable by TF card
◇VGA front-facing camera;
◇Stereo speaker
◇USB on the go
◇MicroSD card slot
◇HDMI
◇Standard 3.5mm audio jack
◇1080p video playback
◇2400mAh Li-Po rechargeable battery, 4-5 hours battery life
DESIGN AND BUILD​
The U25GT has relatively big bezel around its 7-inch screen. As much as I know the advantages of the bigger bezel, I am more attracted to the smaller bezel found in the Talk 7X.
To the upper-right corner of screen is the only camera onboard: a front-facing 0.3MP shooter.
All the physical controls and connectors are situated along the right of the tablet, you will find a Power button, which is the only physical key on the U25GT, a 3.5mm audio jack, a Micro USB port, a 2.5mm DC port, a Micro SD card slot which supports cards up to 16GB and, to our pleasant surprise, a Mini HDMI port.
Interestingly, despite there is an independent DC port, the Micro USB port can also be used for charging, making the U25GT easier to bring along while traveling.
The Acube logo and some other information is emblazoned on the lower part of the back shell, though the effect looks somewhat cheap against the scratch-prone plastic backing. Fortunately the branding fun stops right there, as we don’t necessarily need to be reminded that we are holding a low-end Acube tablet in our hands.
The U25GT (quad core) feels remarkably sturdy for a budget device. The dimensions -- 191*116*10mm -- make for a device that's easy to hold and guarantees typing will be a comfortable affair.
DISPLAY AND SOUND
The U25GT features the same display found in the Acube Talk 7X (quad core) and Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. Considering that the display comes with a paltry 1,024 x 600 resolution (that's a pixel density of 170 PPI), we weren't expecting to be blown away by its visuals, but other than that, it is quite amazing, with wonderful color saturation, decent brightness and wide viewing angle.
Acube tablets are always well-known for their wonderful sound performance, luckily the budget U25GT is no exception. The sound coming from the double aperture in the back is even louder than that comes from my Microsoft Surface RT, although the clarity is not all that ideal.
SOFTWARE
The U25GT ships with the latest version of Android, the Android 4.4 KitKat. Although not really a significantly huge leap over the Jelly Bean, it is nice to know you are now using the most advanced operating system.
Customizations and preinstalled applications are kept to the minimum, a nice approach for a Chinese company which isn’t that good at software development.
BENCHMARK AND PERFORMANCE
The U25T (quad core) is powered by the Rockchip RK3188 SoC (quad-core Cortex-A9 processor, Mali-400MP4 GPU), paired with 512MB RAM. Well, we all know too well about the RK3188’s full potential, even though the one in U25GT is clocked at 1.4GHZ, which is different from the 1.6GHZ we normally see in other Chinese tablets, it is still able to generate enough power to deal with a pile of applications with ease. The real issue is the RAM, rather than the chip. I remember that the ICOO Fatty 2 was once criticized by many comments for featuring only 1GB of RAM, sadly, the U25GT has only half as much as that.
With balanced and above-average CPU and GPU performance from the RK3188 chipset, the U25GT really did well in most of our benchmark tests, the lack of RAM probably only showed in the notch of the CF-bench test.
Everyday use was not without its flaws, with only around 100MB free RAM after booting, the U25GT really struggled with multi-tasking. I tried to play a video in a pop-up window and browse some web pages at the same time, the touch panel became less responsive than usual, and with more tabs being opened, the pop-up video player simply disappeared. RAM-hungry games such as the Real Race 3 and Need for Speed Could not even be opened on the U25GT.
But normally the U25GT is pleasant to use. 3D games such as Virtua Tennis and Zombie Wood ran without hiccups or delays, and 1080p YouTube videos were also streamed smoothly. As long as you don’t run many big apps simultaneously, everything’s good.
BATTERY LIFE​
The Acube U25GT (quad core) has packed 2400mAh Li-Po battery, which is of less capacity than most of the recently released smart phones. With the brightness set at 50 percent and Wi-Fi turned on, we played an online TV show continuously until the battery gave out and died, and the results were nowhere near the most impressive we've seen. The A1000's 4 and 49 minutes of battery life places it firmly at the bottom of the list of 7-inch tablets I have tested in the past 2 years. During everyday use, you'll be able to squeak out a bit more time from the slate. Depending on how much you rely on your tablet for web browsing, videos, music and social media, you can probably expect something in the ballpark of 5 or 6 hours with conservative use.
VERDICT
The U25GT could have had the potential to rule the budget end of the tablet market, if it had been less price-sensitive. In my opinion, 1GB should be the minimal possible option when it comes to RAM, but somehow Acube decided to cut the cost even harder. And what are they thinking putting a 2400mAh battery into a tablet?
The good:
The 7-inch PLS panel is amazing, with wonderful color saturation and wide view angle, it is really pleasant to look at on a daily basis.
Having the RK3188 as its SoC., the U25GT is powerful enough for running most of the applications smoothly, and its multimedia performance is more than amazing.
HDMI is another wonderful asset the U25GT holds against most of the other entry-level competitors.
The bad:
The U25GT’s potential in performance is let down by the insufficient RAM, which is extremely evident during multi-tasking and web-browsing
The poor battery performance of the U25GT is a constant reminder of why we said “No” to Chinese tablets 2-3 years ago.
As we mentioned earlier, it's not an easy time to be a 7-inch Android tablet. A low price tag simply isn't enough to wow buyers in a market where they can afford to be picky. As appealing as the RMB299 ($50) price tag and the RK3188 chipset could be, the lack of RAM and underwhelming battery life will drive some of the potential buyers away. Also, as Aube lowered the price of the Talk 7X to just RMB399 ($65), it is reasonable to expect that the Talk 7X will cannibalize the share which the U25GT is marketing towards. $15 for larger RAM, full phone functionalities and significantly better battery life, why not?

Looks like the new Chuwi V17HD

Mmmmm, and same price, pretty interesting.

But I guess both those tablets are marketing towards the domestic market, adding the delivery cost the oversea price will be too hogh for such a low end device.

Cube T6 hands-on review: the cheapest 4G tablet

The Cube T7 and T9 have enjoyed great reception from the users, and now Cube introduces a new slate from the T-series to the world – the Cube T6. Like the T7 and T9, the T6 has 4G access and phone functions. However, unlike the other two models which have some advanced features and were once marketed as flagship tablets, the T6 is really just an entry-level slate with a TN screen, some low-end internal specs as well as a RMB399 ($64) price tag.

Weight & Size: 240 g / 191*99*9.5mm
Design and build
The main design element is the size of the tablet. Although the T6 is just one of the many 7-inch tablets we have seen from Cube, it is certainly the smallest. It’s almost like holding a phone because the device is so small and slender – holding it one-handed is a breeze. The silver frame looks nice, so does the rounded curves of the cover. However, the proportions of the slate looks extremely weird and lanky, I would prefer if the bezel was a little bit bigger.
The T6 has a plastic rear cover which matches that of the Cube T7 and T9, as well as the Samsung Galaxy Tab S. It may look better than the plain plastic back from the U25GT and Talk 7X, and provide better grip than the metal chassis, but it still feels cheap.
The T6 has the minimum number of ports and buttons. The only physical controls you’ll find are the power/lock key and the volume rocker switch on the right hand side of the slate (when held in portrait). The 3.5mm headphone jack and Micro USB port are on the top side of the tablet, while the Micro SD card slot, and the two Micro SIM card slots can only be accessed after removing the cover on the top.
The tablet weighs 240g, not much heavier than many of the large phones, long period of one-handed operation wouldn’t be much of a problem. However, at 9.5mm, it isn’t a slim tablet by today’s standards.
Decent build quality has been maintained with no signs of unwanted gaps in the casing or wobbly buttons. The lack of premium materials such as aluminum is hardly unexpected, given the $64 price tag attached to it.
Display and sound
Here comes the greatest weakness of the Cube T6: a 7-inch TN display at the resolution of 1024*600. Taking the price of this tablet into account, we wouldn’t mind a low-resolution display if they are giving us a PLS or IPS panel to look at. But a TN display is really something we cannot tolerate, especially when lower-end tablet such as the U25GT ($32) are now featuring a Samsung PLS display.
The nice thing is that the TN panel on the T6 looks better than those seen on the tablets released in 2011, as it has better color saturation, brightness and contrast.
However, when compared to better LCD panels such as MVA, PLS and IPS, which we are already accustomed to see on smartphones and tablets, the TN panel doesn’t have equally wide viewing angles.
The colors appear distorted especially when looking at the display from the left (in landscape). Generally the response time of the TN display is also not as short as that of the IPS or PLS displays, but that’s much more difficult to notice than the viewing angles.
Compared to the disappointing camera, the rear-facing speaker is one of the few areas where the T6 unexpectedly impresses. It is loud enough to hear in a quiet room, although the sound quality is not as good as that of high-end slate such as the Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4. I was okay with the sound the speaker produced while watching YouTube videos, but I was still in desperate need of connecting the T6 to my Monster Clarity HD Bluetooth sound box or plugging in one of my Astrotec headphones whenever I was listening to music.
System and apps
The Cube T6 runs the latest Android 5.1 Lollipop OS, with light customizations on top. Preinstalled applications are kept to the minimum, and you can uninstall most of them without rooting the device.
Although there remains a dearth of tablet apps for Android, especially when you compare it to the wealth of high-quality apps made for the iPad. 7-inch tablets don’t really suffer that much as almost all phone apps still work brilliantly on this smaller tablet screen.
Performance
The Cube T6 is powered by a 64-bit quad-core 1.0GHz MediaTek MT8735 processor with 1GB RAM. It is now the new basic setup for a tablet with 4G and phone functions. As the processor is quite new to us, we need some benchmarks to evaluate the T6’s real horsepower and see where it fits in the spectrum of tablet performance.
Antutu V5.0 returned a score of 18,583, putting the T6 behind most of the budget smartphones and tablets released recently, and Geekbench 3 reported scores of 477 single-core and 1,336 multi-core, which is not good, but decent. The CF-bench test resulted in a score of 17,911, and the Quadrant Advanced gave the T6 a mark of 9,248.
In the more graphic-focused 3D Mark test, the T6 was returned 3,329 in Ice Storm and 1,682 in Ice Storm Extreme, which are expected for a tablet in this price range.
In real day to day use, apps open swiftly, video playback is smooth, and Web browsing doesn't disappoint. However, running too many applications simultaneously in the background could cause significant slowdowns. Having two browser windows open, for instance, makes both load at a slower clip, while the virtual keyboard can take a moment to pop up.
I did also notice some compatibility issues of the GPU, as some of the 3D games weren’t able to run on the T6, and a few graphic-intense games such as Zombie Wood and Asphalt 7 ran at a very low frame rate. Luckily my personal favorite: Virtua Tennis, Crazy Cars and Banana Jungle were very smooth.
Connectivity
Like other tablets from Cube’s T series, the T6 has 4G access and full phone functionalities. While the higher-end T7 and T9 supports both FDD and TDD, the T6 only supports FDD-LTE, but it is not really an issue for people who don’t live in China, as TDD-LTE is currently only used by China Mobile.
Voice calls worked as fine as it was on my HTC Desire, and I could easily pair it with a Bluetooth headphone. Wi-Fi reception was also nice as I had no problem streaming online music and videos several meters and a wall away from the router.
Battery Life
The T6 houses a 2,600mAh Li-Po battery, which is less capacity than in most of today’s smartphones. With varied usage including frequent e-mails, some video, a few games and a good deal web browsing, the T6 lasts 6 hours on average, which was pretty good given the battery capacity. In our standard cngadget battery test, where we loop a 1080P video with 30% screen brightness and 50% volume, the tablet lasted 8 hours and 35 minutes, much better than other entry-level slates.
Cameras
The rear camera is simply bad and can't really do much either in photo or video mode. It is funny that Cube even gives an LED flash to this low-end tablet, instead of giving it to the more capable T7. The front webcam will do the job for online video chatting, as long as you're in good lighting; otherwise the lags quickly add up.
Photo by the rear camera
Verdict
This T6 doesn’t really impress in almost every respect. The only exceptions are the OS and 4G access, as the Android 5.1 brings a lot of new nit features to the table, and the 4G voice call and data can really be quite useful on some occasions. With that said, the TN screen is something that should not be used on a 2015 tablet. According to Cube, an enhanced version of the T6 will be released soon, and the new slate will feature a much better PLS display and possibly a larger battery.
Overall, the T6 is a reasonably priced budget product that can handle the basics, but because of the display I would still suggest that you wait for the enhanced version.
The good
Reasonable price.
Android 5.1 OS.
Decent overall performance.
Nice battery life.
The bad
Low-resolution TN display.
Poor cameras.
