Chuwi Vi8 Plus is now out and I got hold of one yesterday, it’s basically a black Chuwi Hi8 Pro with the Vi8’s lower spec screen. (1280 x 800 resolution) The Type-C port, Atom X5 Z8300, 2GB of Ram and 32GB of the Hi8 Pro are there. It’s $91.99 from Banggood.com with the 8% off coupon f4644d.
First impressions:
- Just like the Hi8 build, but in black
- Speaker is average, same as the Hi8’s
- The 1280 x 800 screen could be brighter, the 1920 x 1200 panel is definitely brighter
- Latest Windows 10 Home with the November update included.
- 19.6 GB free, better than some 32GB eMMC tablets which only have around 14GB
- Decent build for the price, feels solid
- Ncard eMMC, either a Foree or BWIN card. Same as the Hi8 and Vi8’s.
- Type-C port seems to b e only USB 2.0 Type-C, which is a shame. No real advantage having it.
