Teclast X80 Power Review Online

Teclast X80 Power Review Online

The X80 Power review is now online here: Teclast X80 Power Review It’s the below video review, but with a summary, with the good and the bad points. Teclast definitely wins with the build of this 8-inch tablet, very slim at 7.2mm and nobody comes close to this build in the sub $100 price group. (Banggood now sells it for $98.99 here)

Just a shame mine has some screen quality issues (First batch blues?) and the partitioning between the two operating systems is also completely wrong. Giving Windows 10 only 4.5GB free and using a larger 64bit image when it only has 2GB of RAM?

Still, if Teclast improves the screen issues I discovered on my unit and the partitioning, it will be the 8 inch 16:10 ration dual OS tablet to beat.

  1. I have an X80 Pro, similar to the X80 Power – the built in mic does not work (get recognised) in Windows, but does work in Android. Does anyone have any idea how to get the mic to work in Windows?

    Note – the mic in a “bluetooth headset with mic” does, however, work fine.

  2. SD cards ARE supported in Windows 10 – you have to “Enable” a bios setting-which unfortunately resets each time you boot into Android, but does not reset so long as you just boot into Windows!
    Bios setting is Advanced ….. System Component ….. MS Custom Sdbus Driver ….. set to Enable.

  3. I can confirm wi-fi poor performance. Wi-fi work only when the tablet is in the same room with the router.

  4. I can’t use mine. Its like the Power button has no function. In Windows it had no function and volume up was screenshot and down ctrl+alt+del… I saw that problem with x98 in an other post too.. So i turned mine off… yeah… and i cant turn it on again… :/ any ideas?

  6. Now that I have had time to see the rest of the review I do agree with most of your point. The WiFi sucks big time and you nearly need to be in the same room as the WiFi to get a good strong reliable connection. The storage for Windows is a joke too after installing all of the recent windows updates i am down to less than 2Gb. I still also am having the issue I mentioned above which seems to be the opposite to you for some reason. I wish it could have had a second USB connection so you could charge and attach devices at the same time especially as the battery life is not great. Charging it up also seem to take forever taking at least 2 times the discharge time (so at least 5 hours in Android from flat and good luck even charging at all in Windows).

    I do still very much thing it is a good value tablet to get especially if you look at it as just an Android tablet. For some unknown reason most cheap 7 and 8 inch Android tablet as kept to only 8Gb of storage and often only 1gb of ram too as well lower specked processor options. Then that you can “use” windows I see as a bonus but am thinking I might try shrinking the Android partition a little and giving the space to Windows. Depending on if the UEFI / Bootloader is locked I may also try removing Windows and either just have Android or put Ubuntu Linux on it which would not need anywhere need as much space.

    I bought this tablet mostly as I wanted to put it in a camera bag to possibly use it to remote control the camera and then edit the photos in Android and this is as big as would fit and it is a tight fit at that. I also thought being a metal back it should take a little more punishment than a plastic option. One issue I have found that I did not expect is I can’t use the Nikon app on the device as the market will not let me install it as it is not a phone. This is not that big of a issue as I was mainly going to use it with my Panasonic which does not have those restrictions on device types.

  7. Hi I have had this tablet for nearly 1 week now and mostly love it. I have not as yet had time to watch much of this review yet but I wanted to make a point that is contrary to what you have said near the start about the micro SD cars. In my case I have a 128gb Kingston and it works perfectly fine in Android (once you boot the device with it in already first) I however have not been able to get even a 64gb Kingston card to be seen in Windows. I have not tried any other brands or smaller cards yet as I do not want to waste money buying more new cards. Do you or anyone else have any idea on how to get windows to see my cards?
