No surprises here. It’s just like the Hibook, exactly the same specs. Just instead of Android 5.1, it has Remix OS 2.0. However, it’s better, due to one thing. The USB Type-C port is working at USB 3.0 speeds unlike my first batch HiBook I unboxed which only worked at USB 2.0 speeds.
Sorry about the video focus in some parts, my manual focus was off on the lower half of the screen. I’m still getting use to my new Sony A6300 camera.
First impressions & more info:
- All ports power external HDD’s, the type-C port is working just fine at USB 3.0 speeds like it should.
- 12GB free in Remix
- 27GB free in Windows.
- 5V 3A charger, Type-C this is faster than the MicroUSB 2.0 ports and you can’t charge from the USB 2.0 port. Only data.
- My unit has a Samsung CWBD3R 64GB eMMC 139 mb/s reads and 60 Mb/s writes (Good speeds)
- The screen is the exact same unit as the HiBook, it looks good. No complaints, of course not no way near as good as the HiBook Pro’s
- Air gap between the front glass and IPS is around 1mm, not distracting or huge like the PiPo X10’s massive 3-4mm gap.
- Build quality is very decent for the price, the keyboard is good too. Again see the HiBook review for info on that: Chuwi HiBook review.
- Great to see Remix & Windows, shame the HiBook doesn’t have this, I feel Remix is better suited to this 2-in-1 style. Shame it’s not Remix OS 3.0 with Android 6.0
Due to the similarities to this Hi10 Pro and the HiBook, I doubt I will give this a big in-depth review, but more of a shorter review skipping gaming as that has been already covered so often on the X5 Z8300 and we all know how it performs there (Just like the HiBook!)
It’s currently selling for $213 over at Gearbest.
