Should I buy a Vega clone? How fast is it

Hi,
i'm thinking about buying a Vega clone with 3G. At the moment i have a cheap 99bucks 7" tablet with ICS, 512mb ram and 1,2Ghz Cortex A8 cpu. The speed is ok, actually it's enough for me, but the screen is just too small and the resolution is crappy (800x480). 3G with an external dongel is annoying to. So I looked around on ebay and found new Vega Clones with 3G for 140€. How fast is it? Faster than my actual device? My actuall device (Odys neo x7) doens't has root at the moment, of course I'll use roms for the Vega.
Can I compare the speed of the Vega with my girlfriends classic Desire?
Thanks in advance
You mean the advent vega? Cause i had one and that screen is horrible...id invest in one of the chinese tablets with ics and an ips screen.. Id check out the ainol novo 7 aurora 2, allthough thats 7 inch. But there are enough 10" ones with ips, dual core and 4.0 for around the pricepoint of the vega. You can find them on sites like gadgetgreats.com etc

[Q] Which chinese tablet? Quad-core, HD/retina, 2GB RAM, BT

I'll be shortly in China very soon and would like to grab a "deal-breaker" tablet. Please help me out, I have no clue which brand is popular enough to be supported at XDA and which model is expected to have less problems. I'm sure there are good ones, better build quality, that play nicely, don't crash, don't have HW/SW issues, etc. Some popular model!
I'd like:
- Quad-core A9 Rock 3188 or Exynos 4412 CPU,
- 10,1" or 9,7" HD/retina resolution 1920x1200 or 2048x1536
- 2GB RAM
- Bluetooth
- HW volume buttons
- sleek/thin design
- better battery (>7,500 mAh)
- smaller bezel if possible
- black or silver if possible
- USB charging as well, if possible
- case with a BT (full-size) keyboard that fits
Wishful thinking:
- XDA support (like ROMs, problems solving, tweaks, maybe even running Ubuntu on it)
- manufacturer's support in FW updates
Both formats are ok:
a) iPad format (4:3), retina (2048x1536): e.g. Visture V79HD, Cube U9GT5/U9GTV, Yuandao Vido N90 FHD, Pipo M6, Hyundai Play X900 , Freelander PD800, Ainol Novo9, Aoson M33
b) Nexus format (16:10), HD (1920x1200): e.g. Ramos W30HD (Samsung SoC), Cube U30GT2 (ugly), Huawei MediaPad 10 FHD (expensive)
- What model of the above would you recommend?
- Pipo M6 is a newcomer, just introduced!
- I like Visture V79HD the most (with BT keyboard), but the are no reviews on the net, no XDA topics, empty forum on Visture website. Scroll down for lots of pics:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/2048...C-Visture-V97-HD-Rockchip-Quad/914676697.html
- Popular Pipo M9 is nice, but low-res.
Please be kind and suggest a model or two or three that fits! Thanks a lot!
The Samsung note 10.1 is a great tablet and has a thread on xda. Also the nexus 10 is good to. I think they both have 2 gb of ram but I could be wrong. The note has tons of case options. Not sure about the nexus. Either one is a good choice.
Press thanks if I've helped you!

^ Yeah, thanks, I know a lot about Samsung Tab and Nexus, I'm now looking for a Chinese tablet, since I'll be in China for short and can buy it cheap.
plz provide a section for pipo and cube and hynudai and other chinesse tablets
for full support and devolopment
Freelander PD800 HD
I have no experience with it from a software standpoint, but in my opinion, just by looking at specs and what would probably get you the most stability/bang for your buck would be the upcoming Freelander PD800 HD. The HD version specifically. It's going to have an Exynos 5250 (the same SoC as in the Nexus 10) so the weird choppiness and lag spikes and battery issues the Rockchip/Allwinner chips have is going to be avoided. It also has a retina display as per the original Freelander PD800. You can go check it out on Geekbuying. Kind of want one myself.
My two cent's
Pipo M6.
Got mine a little more than a week ago and am very happy with it.

I got Pipo M8 Pro which works like a charm, not bulky & more stylish than M6. I played with both but finally choose M8 pro. It does not have a Retina display but I don't mind even though I have Full HD display on my smartphone. I'm using ROM (FW) with SDK 2.0 upgrade for RK3188. Smooth & nice.
However, I also think M6 is a very good deal, especially after releasing SDK upgrade.

[Q] Tablet around 250$

Hi guys!
Since Christmas is comming, I would like to change my old ASUS TF300T, because it's big and very bulky, so... I'm looking for a 7" tablet with 3G connection (those two are a must).
In this price range, I was looking at the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 (7 inch model), and I would like to hear a few pros and cons, but esprecially to know those things:
- How does the screen perform ?
- What should I expect from the 1.2Ghz Quad core Exynos? How does it handle 2014 games (RR3, Dead Trigger 2, etc)? Can it be overclocked and how much? (VERY IMPORTANT !!!)
- How is the battery life ? (VERY IMPORTANT !!!)
- How is the 3G/Wi-Fi signal ?
- How does the speakers perform ?
Thank you to everyone who helps!
Anyone?
Isn't here any Galaxy Tab 4 user?
Well, I have change my mind... I don't want to buy the Galaxy Tab 4 anymore, because I've read some very dissapointing news here...
Samsung is being a j**k, and has put different chipsets on their devices. Only the 8" and the 10.1" versions has Qualcomm/Exynos chipsets, and the 7" version has a no-name chipset with a low power GPU.
Any sollution in this budget?

Cube i6 Dual OS Android / Windows - 9.7" tablet 2048x1536 px Atom Z3735F 32GB

I'm waiting on a delviery from DHL today, the Cube i6 dual OS. It's very similar to the dual boot Teclast X98 Air 3G and the Onda v919. However this time it's in black! The others you can only get in white. It's lacking HDMI unlike the X98 Air 3G and only comes in 32GB for now. It also has the slight slower Z3735F 1.8ghz CPU. But I have heard good things about cube's build quality so it will be interesting to see how it compares to the Teclast 98 Air 3G and the Onda V919 Air 3G. I'll update this post with an unboxing video, hands on and first impressions. I ordered this from geekbuying.com instead of Ali Express as my sellers on Ali Express didn't seem to have stock and geekbuying.com has paypal.
First impressions:
The build quality of the Cube i6 is a step up from my Onda v919 or Teclast X98 Air 3G, I love the way the microsd card slot and micro sim card tray is done. It's a nice touch. Overall the tablet feels very solid in hand it feels better than the other retina tablets I've owned. There is no sighs of the tablet flexing, it's very solid. Thickness is around 9mm, so a bit thicker than the X98 Air 3G.
Antutu score is 31k, this is just behind the LG G3 according to the chart. The Android rom is really nice, a very stock looking Android rom with no bloat (Well if you count the facebook app) Windows 8.1 Bing actives withotu any issues and Windows everything is working just fine.
Pros:
Best build quality I have seen yet on a Chinese retina iPad air clone.
Mirco sim slot and not a normal sim slot.
Comes in black
Stock Android rom is bloat free and very Nexus like.
GPS, 3G
WiDi / Miracast works.
Battery life as good as my Teclast X98 Air 3G
Cons:
No HDMI port
MHL doesn't seem to be supported
The screen has a slight grain to it as if it has a matte screen under the touch screen glass.
Overall:
I think if your in the market for a dual boot tablet, the Cube i6 shouldn't be overlooked if you can live with the lack of Hdmi output. The price of $209 with the discount coupon is cheaper than the Onda v919 or Teclast X98 Air 3G dual boots.

Looking forward to this..
I'm still leaning towards the teclast, but the 900Mhz 3g would be much better.....although whether that is worth foregoing the hdmi port. Am I also correct in that the entire body is plastic, unlike the teclast.
I'm also interested as to whether this has faster eMMC than the Teclast.
Cube I6 AIR 3G Dual System Review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uILLxnyS8RM
Here is an unboxing video of my Cube i6: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdLe2yWfKSQ
And a video demonstrating how fast it is to switch OS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJeXJ8hJW4k&list=UUrI6_31b1OHRE62BHTMYN0Q
So far so good, the build is better than the Onda v919 and the Teclast X98 Air 3g. Very nice how they have done the microsim and microsd card slots. The Android rom is great very much a stock rom.

card issues
Hi. I have my cube i6 air for three days now.
During windows update i do always lost my sd card capability. Card is found in windows device manager, but could not start, error 10. I have tried a lot of things I googled. Nothing except full wipe of windows helps (from windows menu not rom changing). Do you have the same issue ? I have kingston 32g class 10. Android sees card without issue
I wonder if there will be some custom roms and updates.
Disk is separated strangely an i think we can double userspace with customized partitioning. Any advices ?
Anyway, tablet is perfect, i do have better experience like with galaxy tab 2.
Windows come fully activated.
Tablet does not support mhl
Automatic turn off of screen does not work in both OS.

My 64GB sandisk mircosdcard works in it without any issues, have you tired doing a full recovery wipe? Does an SD card work find in Android? If its good in android it has to be a software issue in Windows.
I'm happy with my Cube i6, loving the build quality and having a retina tablet in black instead of white. How do you find the display? Next to my X98 Air 3G or Onda v919, the display is a bit grainy, like it has a matte screen protector on it under the glass.

I though 64gb is not supported. According to technical data of manufacturer.
Android have no issue with card, it is visible and fully operational. I know its a software issue of windows itself. I just do not want to do a full wipe/reset every second day.
Regarding display, its gorgeous. I can compare it to my galaxy tab 2 only. And Galaxy tab 2 looses on every point.
I have rooted android with king root. I would like to have custom recovery. However partiotioning is really crazy here.
Do you know about some GURUs which are taking care about custom recovery and other stuff ?
I think a lot of space can be freed by simple repartitionig of tablet.
cube i6 dual boot: Issues on windows 8.1
Hello,
I have acquired a cube i6 dual boot tablet, and I met several problems on Windows OS: WiFi keys are not preserved when the OS is rebooted, Bluetooth equipments are not detected (in fact the first time I activated the Bluetooth I was able to associate an equipment, but after a reboot it is no more possible). The reseller said me that it is probably a firmware problem and there is no way for the moment to solve it. As nobody is taking about that I would like to know if I'm the only one with these problems or if a fix exist. I made a post on cube web site but I received no answers.
Does someone can help me?
Thanks
Cube i6 air Dual Boot
I have recently bought a cube i6 air dual boot and its a fine machine with customer satisfaction. However I have found few lags in both os:
1. The clock of the windows os does not sync after booting and I had to manually sync it. So got to install a third party soft for auto sync with the internet.
2. It accepts only up to 4GB of pen drives. Any thing greater than 4GB does not connect in both os sides.
3. The Bluetooth devices sync with the android os do not auto connect after boot. They have to be unpaired and re paired for next use. I think need a os update which is not available for the moment.
If any body knows how to correct this please be good enough to help me.
Dual to Single
I think I have decided to get this tablet and I am very curious about the dual boot. The difference in price between single (android) and dual boot is minimal so I am wondering if at some time I decided to just want android, is it possible to just make the tab all android (single boot)?
charging very SLOW. takes forever to full charge. tried a few chargers, all the same. other than this everything works well.
anyone else bought this tablet?
From the videos so far, the build quality seems good. Probably better than x98?
dual os??

If you received it like that, shouldn't you be contacting the seller about it?
I've just thought..........................have you tried pulling down the notification tray and seeing if there's an icon like this present:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/gjo4m5k0axgpq5v/OS Switch.jpg?dl=0
It's the OS Switcher and if it's there, you need to click on it and it will boot from Android to Windows.
If it's not - you need to contact whoever it was that sold it to you for a solution.
