The translated Weibo claims it will be a proper Android / Windows dual boot set up, not the emulated Android x86 applic...[Read More]
Looking at the Weibo’s today I saw this coming soon announcement from Teclast: The quality of the image isn’t very good, neither is my Chinese or the Google translation, but it looks like August the 10th is the date for a new announcement. A Windows 10 powered 9.7″ Core M Retina tablet? (Onda v919 3G Core M) competitor? And you can see the words Cherry Trail. It’s about tim...[Read More]

The PiPo X8 is a hybrid tablet meets mini PC, I vide...[Read More]
Onda have also released their revised Retina tablets, the V989 All winner AT83 eight core SoC powered Android tablet. And the V919 Air Dual OS, with the new look and colors. The V919 Dual OS oddly enough has a downgraded CPU, an Atom Z3735F from the Z3736F in the first V919 Air 3G Dual OS and it’s lost its 3G sim slot and modem. Looks like it came out of HTC’s design studio. Nothing re...[Read More]

Mirek190 over on the XDA forums has released an updated new custom ROM for all Teclast X98 Air 3G and Air II variants. This is without a doubt the best ROM yet, even if it’s back on Android 4.4.4. Mirek190 might have gone back to Android 4 as the Android 5 ROM was based on a beta Android 5 Lollipop release from Teclast. The downloads are below: [wpfilebase tag=list id=’2,57′ tpl=...[Read More]
My busted Hi8 was opened up today, I was hunting for the screen digitizer part number so I can order a replacement after I broke my Hi8 screen. The internals of the Hi8 show a decent build quality, no cables crossing over the battery cells or any of that nonsense. No thin battery cables or poor solder jobs here either, it looks fine. Not bad for such a cheap tablet I think. There is even planned s...[Read More]

But very different internals, an Atom Z3635F 1.8Ghz top boost speed, 2GB single channel ram, 32GB eMMC and that custom Remix OS. That’s the same one the Remix tablet from Jide runs. It’s their OS, which is now running on other tablets and why not, it’s a nice take on Android with a better focu...[Read More]

But they have a new thin and sleek design. I rather like the look of it, it’s a nice change from the iPad Air white look. Nothing was posted on the release date, pricing or the chipsets. I hope it̵...[Read More]
