I received the tablet with only two accessories: a charger and a USB-C charging cable. When I turned it on, I found it was already charged to 80%, which was sufficient to complete the standard initial setup for Android devices. After signing into my Google account, I downloaded the CPU X app. This application provides a detailed list of key components, including the CPU, RAM, internal and external storage, and display resolution. It also displays the installed OS version number and can perform various hardware tests.
To my relief, I didn't find any bloatware or non-Google apps that couldn't be uninstalled right after the initial setup.
I did not detect any inconsistencies between the app reports and the specifications advertised on the listing or stated by the operating system. However, the representation of RAM amount is somewhat misleading. It is listed as 8 (4 + 4) GB, or simply 8 GB of RAM. In reality, the tablet has 4 GB of physical RAM supplemented by 4 GB of virtual or extended memory. It's important to note that virtual RAM does not enhance performance to the level of physical RAM. While it may allow more apps to run simultaneously in the background, it does not support resource-intensive applications that require more than 4 GB of RAM, nor does it speed up the device like 8 GB of actual, physical RAM would. In essence, virtual memory is not a substitute for physical memory; it is significantly inferior.
On the other hand, the advertised CPU specifications are accurate. It features an octa-core 64-bit processor, which the CPU X app verified indeed has eight cores. I also used the CPU X app to check the internal storage space; the tablet offers 128 GB of internal storage. However, due to the operating system overhead and pre-installed apps, only 110 GB is available for use. The Android operating system check confirms the device is running on Android 13, a very recent version, ensuring compatibility with the latest apps from the Google Play Store. The screen resolution is 1280x800 with a 16:10 aspect ratio, placing it above 720p but below 1080p in terms of clarity.
I can also confirm that the tablet supports 10-point multitouch. I tested this feature using the CPU X app, which successfully detected all ten of my fingers. However, the tablet does not have vibration capability.
I installed the resource-intensive indoor cycling app MyWhoosh, which occupies nearly 6 GB on my tablet. Typically, I run this app on my Windows laptop, but the tablet seems capable of handling it. To accommodate the device's capabilities, the app automatically reduced the resolution and framerate. Despite these adjustments, the graphics still look satisfactory to me.
The 8 MP rear camera, or 7.99 MP as reported by CPU X, is sharp enough for taking pictures of documents and allows me to read the text clearly. It offers a maximum resolution of 3264 x 2448 pixels. The autofocus feature is quick, enabling me to take clear pictures without much effort. The camera supports real digital zoom, which enhances images without merely enlarging pixels and compromising sharpness, allowing up to 1.99x zoom. However, the pre-installed camera app is limited in features, so I installed Open Camera from the open-source app store F-Droid to gain more functionality. Unfortunately, the tablet lacks face detection capability, as indicated by a zero in the 'Max Face Count' field in CPU X. The front camera, with a resolution of 5 MP or 4.92 MP according to CPU X, captures images at a maximum of 2560 x 1920 pixels but does not support digital zoom.
I was able to connect my tablet to a 5 GHz Wi-Fi network, getting a link speed of 258 Mbps. Additionally, the tablet's Bluetooth connectivity is stable and does not lag. I rely heavily on Bluetooth when I’m running the MyWhoosh app. Through this app, my phone connects to my stationary bike, which then continuously transmits my current pedaling speed to the app. For over a month, I haven't experienced any random disconnections during my training sessions with MyWhoosh.
The battery has a capacity of 5000 mAh, allowing me to use the tablet for at least 8 hours without charging, although actual usage time varies though depending on the apps I'm running.
The tablet's design isn't particularly out of the ordinary, but I do appreciate its dark silver-gray color and the sturdy sides. All the ports and buttons are located on the left side when held in landscape orientation. From top to bottom, there are the volume buttons, power button, an SD card slot protected by a rubber cover, a standard USB-C port with OTG support, and a 3.5 mm headphone jack at the lower left corner. I noticed that the speakers are positioned at the bottom in landscape mode, spaced about three inches apart. I value that distance between right and left speaker, as many tablets place their speakers too close together, not along the longer side like this one.
I can run all the common apps such as Facebook, YouTube, Messenger, TikTok, etc., without experiencing any lag. I've been using the tablet for about a month, and it hasn't frozen once or getting extremely hot while charging. For my everyday tasks, I find it to be very reliable and dependable.
