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:

Thanks!

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

Crashing into the spotlight is a new Android tablet for tech gadget lovers to desire – The Teclast P98 Air (Octa-core), the first tablet powered by the all new Allwinner A80T SoC. It is now available in China for about $195, but if you want to buy the tablet in Europe or America, then things get a little pricier with importing.
How does this processor do in the benchmark test and what else the P98 Air (Octa-core) can offer? You will find out in our review – Only here on Cngadget.info.
Main Features
--Android 4.4 Kitkat
--9.7" IPS Retina Screen, 2048 x 1536 pixels
--CPU: Allwinner A80T Octa-core, 2.0GHz
--GPU: PowerVR Rogue G6230
--2GB RAM + 32GB ROM
--WiFi/Bluetooth/OTG/Miracast
--Dual Camera, 13MP back camera + 2MP front camera
--Li-Ion 8000mAh Battery
Design and Build
At first glance, the P98 Air looks very much like an iPad Air clone, as many have commented. But it is different, there are no physical buttons in the front panel, only a 9.7-inch IPS display and relatively small bezel.
In Portrait, all the ports and slots are located on the top edge of the slate, you will find a 3.5mm audio jack, a Micro SD card slot, a unique USB3.0 data/charging port and a micro-HDMI port.
The right side of the tablet hosts all the hardware controls – a power/standby key and a volume rocker.
In the bottom side of the tablet you will find the stereo speakers.
On the metallic back of the P98 Air (Octa-core) you will find some of Teclast's branding and the 13MP rear-facing camera and the LED flash.
Teclast claims that the P98 Air Octa-core is only 7.4mm thick, but according to out measurement, it is actually 7.6mm, obviously thicker than the 7mm CUBE Talk 9X and feels almost as thick as the 7.9mm Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7. Overall it is still quite slim compared to most of the Chinese tablets!
Display and Sound
The P98 Air sports an IPS Panel at the resolution of 2,048 x 1,536 -- the very same as the iPad Air. It's one of the most impressive displays I've seen on a tablet to date, though it isn’t the absolute best, I would give that honor to the Google Nexus 10 2 or the Samsung Galaxy Tab S. However, things do look fantastically sharp here. Text is rendered incredibly crisp and the UI looks better than ever. The first-party icons are all crisp and clean, though some of the third-party app icons do look like they could use a new, higher-resolution rendering. Thankfully, the apps themselves look overwhelmingly fine.
The brightness of the display is also top-notch, almost as searingly bright as the 700 nits the ASUS Transformer Pad can pump out. Colors are well-rendered and viewing angles are extremely good.
Top: CUBE Talk 9X Bottom: Teclast P98 Air
Left: Samsung P6800 (Super AMOLED Plus) Right: Teclast P98 Air​
The color reproduction will also appeal to many, as it's pretty close to reality - it lacks the punch of the Super AMOLED screens seen on the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S for instance, but it will depend on personal preference as to whether that's a good thing.
Teclast employs stereo speakers on the P98 Air Octa-core and they're situated at the bottom side of the tablet. This lets them create a moderately convincing stereo image, but you will possibly block the speakers with your hands while you are holding the slate in landscape.
This isn’t the last word in sound quality, though. The main positive is dialogue is very clear and crisp, and the speakers reach a decent volume without obvious distortion. But there’s very little mid or low-end here, so there’s a real lack of warmth and body to the sound. They’re good for TV dramas and documentaries, but they fall short with music and anything action packed.
System & Interface​
Teclast hasn’t as drastic changes to Android in the P98 Air as, say, Xiaomi has with its MIUI, but it has managed to leave its own mark with some customized widgets and applications.
What we are talking about here are the icons, which look very much like those on the iOS and Xiaomi interface, the absence of an application drawer could be annoying to those who love the stock launcher.
Performance
​
The P98 Air Octa-core is, generally speaking, very smooth and slick. The kinks and jerkiness we detected in the Cube Talk 9X are mostly absent, though the P98 Air Octa-core doesn’t zip along quite as smoothly as the Snapdragon 800 powered LG Optimus G Pro2.
The processor behind this is Allwinner’s A80T, which is in eight core chip with four ARM Cortex A15 CPUs clocked at 2.0GHz, and four lower-power ARM A7 cores at 1.3GHz. It’s right up there with the most powerful processors on any Android phone or tablet, scoring 765 in Geekbench’s single-core test, and 2,235 in the multi-core. Even accounting for Chinese brands’ reputation to boosting benchmarks with high performance modes, it’s clear this is a very powerful device.
We tried a few other benchmarks, although bear in mind that these measurements are of limited use to prospective buyers. In Antutu 4X, the P98 Air was returned a score of 50,652. That compares with 41,638 for the CUBE Talk 9X - so yes, it has the potential to be almost twice as fast as the LG G Pad 8.3 (23,254) and Samsung Galaxy S4 (26,138). It's even faster than the Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4, which was recorded at 34810.
With the monstrous Imagination PowerVR Rogue G6230 GPU on board, the P98 Air is an even more impressive performer in the graphics department, more than powerful enough to run even demanding games smoothly. It scored 13,939 in the 3D Mark Ice Storm Unlimited test, and maxed out the Ice Storm standard test. It’s only a few thousand points less than the iPad Air, though, and you’re unlikely to find any games that won’t work on it. The only downside is that the 4:3 aspect ratio of the display may make some of the games designed for widescreen look a little bit too stretched. With that said, the P98 Air Octa-core, like most phones and tablets at present, has more processing power than it really needs.
Thanks to the multi-core structure and 2GB RAM, the P98 Air had little problem running several big applications simultaneously. Opening dozens of image-heavy websites in the stock browser and playing a 1080P video on top at the same time, the tablet remained extremely responsive.
Cameras​
The P98 Air features dual cameras, a 13MP rear-facing camera and a 2MP front-facing camera. The rear camera has an LED flash as well, which is handy. While the numbers might sound incredibly promising for a tablet, the actual quality of the photos is not.
The P98 Air is able to take some usable photos for Facebook and Instagram update, but the lack in clarity and sharpness is still very obvious, and you would never want to flash them into real photos.
The rear-facing camera is capable of 4K video shooting, but the quality of the videos it captured again wasn’t really good at all. The images were noisy and unstable, it is awkward to use a 10-inch pad to record videos anyway.
Battery
Here comes the greatest disappointment of this slate - the battery life. The P98 Air packs an 8000mAh Li-Po battery, and Teclast claims that it will give its users an average of 8-10 hours’ screen time. But in our standard tests, the P98 Air’s battery performance didn’t live up to its promise.
In our online video playback test, it took only 6 hours and 28 minutes for the tablet to shut down due to battery drain.
And we got even poorer result looping Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’ “Can’t hold us” video (5 hours and 29 minutes).
We are not sure about the cause of such disappointing battery performance, maybe it is due to the lack of optimization of the new chipset, or maybe it is a result of the brightness of the display. Hopefully this issue can be fixed by later firmware upgrade.
Special features​
Knock on
One of my favorite features in the Teclast P98 Air is the ability to wake the tablet without using the power button by tapping twice on the screen. Called "Knock Knock" or "Knock On," it's sort of a necessary side effect from such a big screen. You might want to wake the tablet to see a notification, but not necessarily reach your fingers to the right side of the tablet to do so. We first saw this feature In the LG G2, and it is wonderful that a Chinese brand is willing to learn from the best!
USB3.0
In its early promotions, Teclast glazed over the importance of one new feature of the P98 Air Octa-core —the USB 3.0 data/charging port. The obvious plus for USB 3.0 is that it offers far faster data rates, potentially increasing the speed of transferring music, videos, and photos to and from our tablet.
Another less obvious benefit is we'll be able to charge the tablet directly from our PC much faster (assuming we have a USB 3.0-enabled device). USB 2.0 ports generally provide up to 500mA current, while USB 3.0 is 80 percent faster at 900mA, making plugging the tablet into our laptop more akin to connecting it to a wall charger.
Transferring files from my Acer W700 to the P98 Air was extremely fast, more than twice the speed of to the CUBE Talk 9X, thanks to both the USB 3.0 port and the eMMC storage the Slate has on board.
HDMI
As is mentioned above, the P98 Air has a Micro HDMI port on board, so that we can use it as a media center in the living room, watching videos and browsing pics on a larger TV or monitor.
Verdict​
The Teclast P98 Air (Octa-core) is a strong tablet with a few obvious weaknesses.
The Good
The P98 Air (Octa-core) is a pretty light and slim tablet, making for a super sleek media companion. Its beautiful screen, capable of delivering rich tones and colors, is also on our favorite list. Useful features such as USB3.0, Knock-on and HDMI really showed Teclast's determination in making a winner tablet. It is also sensibly priced, the 32GB version costs you only RMB1,199 ($195), which is less than one third of which a 32GB iPad Air asks for.
The Bad
According to our test results and experiences with the slate for more than 2 weeks, the P98 Air (Octa-core) delivers very poor battery performance. And the 13MP rear-facing camera’s performance is nowhere near what the numbers would suggest.
The Truth
The tablet is portable, nice-looking and has a great display. So if you need a media device to stream all your movies and browse all the awesome Tumblr galleries, you have come to the right place.
Our overall impressions are not very good, though, lots of things should have been a lot better. The P98 Air is promised as a top notch product from the Android ecosystem, we once even hoped that it could blow the CUBE Talk 9X out of the water, but it turned out to be just another mediocre Chinese tablet.

Hello,
i have a little problem. i edited my build.prop of the Teclast P98 Air (C6V8) because of timezone etc (things I should never have to change)... now the tablet wont boot anymore and i've no active usb-debugging. so i can't pull my backup out of the RomToolbox-directory and otherwise a cant push any files because the device is not "authorized" via adb.
now i've read that may its possible to inject an correct build.prop via update.zip from sdcard or adb sideload. i have an update.zip with an update-script that would replace the incorrect file
would anybody so nice and upload the stock build.prop for me!? Thanks dudes!

I like this tablet.

Hello,
thank you for the instructions. It works.
I have serious problem and was not able to resolve it even after whole day spent googling. I rooted it, install another launcher and found out, there is no option to set it as default, so I tried to remove the stock launcher. The system did not detect any of them and I was only able to enter the settings menu. So I tried to do factory reset to roll it back. But it removed only data. I thought it reflash the whole rom back but it did not. So I downloaded a rom for this tablet from a forum, copeid it to the sd card and installed through boot menu (available when I press power button + volume up button). There were error "E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip" and after that I am not able to access even the settings menu as before. Can anyone download the rom from their tablet and send it to me please please please? I would be very grateful.
I have tow others possibilities to get it work:
1. getting the rom which I can flash to the tablet (from SD card) - either the stock one or any other which works
2. getting the usb drivers to flash the rom using either ADB or using the PhoenixSuit (which does not work now - it tells me that no device is connected (probably because I have no usb drivers for this tablet)).
Please any help? I'm completely helpless
Roman

Please mirror firmware for P98 3G (A9H8)
Can someone please mirror this file on dropbox or somewhere else - I can't get past Baidu registration requiring China-based SMS.

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.
Cube T6 Specs
OS: Android 5.1
Display: 6.98-inch TN, 5-point multi-touch
Screen Resolution: 1024 x 600
CPU: 64-bit MT8735 quad-core processor (4 cores of Cortex-A53)
CPU Frequency: 1.0GHz
GPU: Mali-720MP2
RAM / Storage: 1GB / 8GB
Function: WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS, A-GPS, OTG, Miracast, FM Radio
WiFi: 802.11 b/g/n, WiFi hotspot
GSM: band2, band3, band5, band8
WCDMA: band1, band5
FDD: band1, band3, band7
Camera: 2MP back camera, VGA front camera
Battery: 2,600mAh
Extend Port: Micro SD card card slot, Micro SIM Card Slot 1, Micro SIM card slot 2, Micro USB port, 3.5mm Headphone Jack
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.

Cube has been very successful in selling tablets with smartphone functionalities. Ever since the release of the Cube Talk 79 back in 2013, the Chinese brand has been dominating in this special area. The Cube Talk 9X, T7 and T9 were all once considered as the best offerings from the Chinese tablet industry.
The Cube T8 is the newest member of Cube’s successful 4G tablet line. With the latest version of Android OS, moderate specs and a very considerate price ($79), it is definitely designed to woo the buyers with a lower budget, buyers whom the $157 Cube T7 failed to impress.
Cube T specifications

•Weight & Size: 354 g / 215*122.9*9.85mm
Design
The Cube T8 looks quite similar to many of Cube’s other entry-level tablets, the one thing that sets it apart is the metallic rear side. There’s nothing else you haven’t seen before: a widescreen display which dominated the front panel, a relatively small bezel around the screen, rounded corners, some branding and basic information on the back, a single rear-facing speaker, and dual cameras.
The only physical buttons you will find are the power/standby key and the volume rocker, both hosted on the right side.
The T8 is a very promising slate when it comes to connectivity, as there are quite a slew of ports and slots on board. On the top side of the tablet you will find a 3.5mm headphone jack, a Micro HDMI port, a Micro SD card slot, a Micro USB port which supports USB on the go.
Once you remove the plastic lid on the rear, you will find a Micro SIM card slot and a full-size SIM card slot, both of which support dual 4G network (TDD and FDD).
At 9.85mm, the T8 is not thin by today’s tablet standards, but I would say it is an okay thickness as I didn’t feel much more burden with the T8 than with my super slim Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4. Also, the T8 feels very solidly constructed, There is no sign of unwanted gaps in the casing or wobbly buttons.
The T8 comes with two color options: the white version has a white front and a silver rear, while the black version has a black front and a blue rear.
Screen and sound
Like many other Cube’s 8-inch models, the Cube T8 sports an 8-inch IPS display. I am sure that many people will complain about the 1280 x 800 screen resolution. But as the diagonal is smaller on the 8-inch screen the pixel density is higher, and such a low resolution is not as obvious as is the case with those 10.1-inch tablets, but is still visible with the naked eye on the T8. To be specific, pixel density on the Cube T8 is 189 ppi, which is below average for a contemporary 8-inch tablet.
Fortunately, poor sharpness is the only real minus which can be linked with the T8. Color imaging is natural and precise, it is more than vivid and vibrant for a entry-level tablet. The same goes for the contrast, which offers very pure white tones and extremely dark black. The viewing angle on the T8 is very wide, and it offers amazing brightness even suitable for outdoor usage.
The touchscreen is also very responsive, in fact it is as responsive as the panels on my Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 and Jide REMIX Ultra Tablet. Every touch is instantly registered, with wonderful accuracy and precision.
The sound from the rear-facing speaker has a decent amount of volume and bass, and I found it pretty acceptable for watching YouTube videos and online radios. But I would recommend an external audio system for music and movies.
System and Apps
The Cube T8 ships with Android 5.1, which is also the latest version of Android OS. Customizations have been kept to the minimum, and there aren’t a load of preinstalled applications.
The T8 also support OTA, making firmware much easier for average users.
Performance
The 64-bit MT8735 Cortex A53 quad-core processor, although low end, is a good choice for a tablet with this screen resolution. It offers entirely satisfactory performance for the typical tasks this tablet was intended for. Everything runs fluidly and without glitches on the Cube T8.
While the MT8735 is not a chipset that’s normally included in high-end models, this is evident only when certain tasks are initiated. For instance, some 3D games take longer to load, heavier websites take a second more to render etc.
As far as synthetic benchmarks go, the T8 offers poorer marks than the T7 and T9. It scored 9,074 in Quadrant benchmark, 1,130 in Geekbench, and 19,556 in Antutu, which are the basic scores of today’s mobile devices and are approximately on the same level as top models were three years ago.
Battery Life
The 4000mAh battery of the T8 offers quite a lengthy time frame for the users to enjoy their tablet without the need to recharge. With average tablet usage of approximately two to three hours per day, the battery will last 3 days.
In our standard cngadget battery test, the tablet lasted 7 hours and 47 minutes looping an 1080P video at 50% screen brightness and speaker volume, pretty impressive result for such a cheap tablet.
Connectivity
As one of Cube’s T series tablets, the T8 can be used as a smartphone. It supports both TDD and FDD 4G networks, and there are two SIM card slots on board to enable dual standby. Other smartphone functionalities such as voice call, SMS, Bluetooth, GPS, FM Radio are also included. You can also connect your T8 to your HDTV through the Micro HDMI port and enjoy movies and video games on a bigger screen.
Cameras
The T8 has a VGA front-facing camera and a 2MP main camera with fixed focus. Both cameras are about as basic as a camera can get. The rear-facing camera is merely there just for the sake of it but honestly you’re better off sticking to the smartphone in your pocket. Photos are low resolution and while it’s usable outdoors once you go inside photos become noisy quick especially in low light.
Photos taken with the main camera
Price and availability
The Cube T8 has been on sale for a while in China, with a price tag of RMB499 ($79). Prices in other part of the world may vary. You can also place your order on Aliexpress.com, which now offers a price of $96.95 inclusive of shipping.
Final verdict
The Cube T8 It certainly a nice choice as far as tablets are concerned as it offers decent performance, a bright and vivid display, solid battery life, phone functions and an extremely competitive price tag. Although it is not really a powerhouse tablet, it still handles everyday tasks with ease, and gives its users the promise of stepping in when their phone runs out of juice.

Rooting and Roms
Has anyone any ideas on how to root this device please? Also any custom ROMs available as yet? One that merges the 2 internal partitions in the memory would be great as it only has 3gb of system drive then rest is storage and unfortunately not every app can be moved to the storage. Thanks in advance

no multi user function

Since Cube sign their ota's with Android test key it should be quite easy to create a wrapper zip for superSU. no need for flashing TWRP to install "updates"

How is the battery?

external sd limited to FAT only
I had to find that any micro sd used with this slate has to be FAT32 formatted. It wouldn't even recognise ext4 even though it uses it internally - lame

It's probably because AOSP unlike CyanoGen only support FAT32 for sdcards
A Cyanogen based ROM would be good to have
---------- Post added at 09:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:04 PM ----------
Furthermore I went and blacklisted some urls in my router to prevent the phablet from calling home:
bigdata.advmob.cn

get.sogou.com
security.ie.sogou.com
ctc.security.sogou.com
security.sogou.com
Wish I could actually remove the sogou app

Work with Verizon???
Has anyone been able to use this with Verizon? I've tried to register it and am having trouble.

No root with last version of the rom.
I have tried few times but not work with rom version T8_v1.0_20160325 i have one 16gb formatted partition in this version.
Can you fix the recovery installation?
Thank you

Yes, i got my CUBE T8 Plus model from the cube-table, Beautiful brand new unit! Well packaged. Seller friendly. He even asked me to send the correct adapter. Strongly recommended.

Partitions
Hi. Main problem I have with mine is due to the silly way they have partitioned the internal drive. I can't install any new apps or even update the ones i already have installed as its saying insufficient space. Some apps can't be moved to the "USB storage drive" as its named it and it only gives you 3gb on the main drive.
Be excellent if they was to release an update to merge the internal partitions into one like every other company has. Or if someone could make a custom ROM that does this :good:

Mt8735p rooting

Any help would be brilliant thankyou
