Another broken Play Store due to a miss configured build.prop from Teclast, sigh… They really should get someone to test if the Play Store works outside of China as this isn’t the first time. Here’s the fix, you’ll need root. Get that here in the X98 Air 3G Toolbox: Run 1_Toolbox.bat and then later use option “E” to root your X16HD File you’ll need: [wpfil...[Read More]
Our PiPo W3F review is now online, if you haven’t seen earlier posts on this tablet, the W3F is the cheaper version of the W3. Instead of a Z3775D (2.4Ghz) processor, Pipo have used a Z3735F which clocks up to 1.8ghz and a 32GB eMMC. There is no included 3G ultrastick with this cheaper model and no USB 3.0 port. Still, check out the review I found it to be a good work orientated tablet for t...[Read More]
Teclast have released a new rom for the P98 4G, this rom fixes various issues including the black photos, Play store issue and sleep issues. [wpfilebase tag=list id=32 tpl=data-table pagenav=1 /] To flash the rom: Install the driver. Use the PDAnet_4150, this worked for me. Power off your P98 4G, making sure it has 50% battery or over. In the flash folder run 升级程序.exe Select the MTK_AllInOne_DA.bi...[Read More]
Teclast today announced the high spec Core m powered X1 Pro 4G. It’s a 12.2 inch tablet with some very decent specs for a core m tablet. 4GB of ram and a 5y10C Core m that can clock up to 2.0Ghz.

It has a detacha...[Read More]
Yep the rumors of a smaller Surface were true, the Surface 3 and it looks like the Surface 3 Pro just a bit smaller without the Core i3/5/7. It will be one of the first tablets to use the new Atom X7 “Cherry Trail” Z8700. Think of the Z8700 as being the Z3995. It’s doing to start at $499 and $599 if you want the 4GB and 128GB ssd. What I can’t see to confirm is, if it’...[Read More]
Onda’s so called dual boot breakthrough “Surprise surprise” is really nothing but some fake sped up boot switching video and a new firmware that allows each OS to access the other. Nothing I would consider breakthrough, just a bunch of marketing hype. The new firmware files are here if your interested: http://onda.cn/Tablet/ProductInfo.aspx?ProductId=361 And the better and faster...[Read More]
Update: 14th June, I’ve added the latest Dual OS PiPo W3F files for download. Please use those ones as they have the latest drivers and bug fixes etc. If your having issues with the Android rom, you could try updating with the included files. Since the download files are rather huge, please only download this if your going to use it to help save our bandwidth. If you’re able to mirror ...[Read More]
Here a few videos of the PiPo W3F I currently have to review. Here is a short video testing the USB port speed, eMMC drive speed and the microsd card slot speed. Unfortunately it’s only a usb 2.0 port, but there are two, one full sized and the other micro. It would seem that some of the sellers on Ali Express are getting mixed up with the W3 that has usb 3.0. Some gaming on the PiPo W3F, as ...[Read More]
Our Cube i6 Air 3G Dual Boot review is now up. Was Cube’s attempt at a better dual boot tablet enough to best the Teclast X98 Air 3G and the Onda v919 Air 3G? Find out in the full detailed review here: http://techtablets.com/cube-i6-dual-os/review-2/
Intel just recently show cased the latest Atom x5 Z8500 soc in a reference Tablet. So what can we expect in the next gen of Chinese tablets from the likes of Cube, PiPo, Onda and Teclast? Looking over the Intel Z8000 series Ark and Intel Z8000 series data sheets, you can see that they are step up in terms of power, the Z8500 can take up to 8GB of ram and dual channel. Think of it as the Z3795 in t...[Read More]
I get a lot of questions on YouTube, which is these two dual boot tablets is the best? Cube i6 or the Teclast X98 Air 3G? Well I made this comparison video to hopefully help people in their choice. And I tried to cover everything apart from gaming as they are both about the same. Okay so 2.16 Ghz Vs 1.8Ghz battle on these atoms, Z3736F Vs Z3735F there is really nothing between them in the real wor...[Read More]
Had some time now with the Cube i6 Dual boot, here’s a couple of videos showing the Android Rom, Windows 8.1 and the OS switching from Windows to Android and back. As you can see this switching set up from within the OS is much faster than Teclast’s approach to dual os swtiching with their boot selector menu.
