Teclast has released the dual OS bios for the X98 Pro. This came out on the Teclast forum, unexpected since it is their national day in China today. I’ve yet to try this myself as my X98 Pro is out of battery. While it charges up to a safe 50% I’ll flash the new bios and try again to Flash Android 5 and later Windows 10 with the WINRE image. I’ll get some details up soon with a h...[Read More]

Dual boot comes to the X98 Air III. I thought it would be possible since the hardware supports it and it’s almost identical to the X98 Air II and now Teclast has released their dual OS bios for it, Windows 10 image and Android 5.0 Rom download. This now makes it the cheapest Retina 9.7″ tablet around at $125 with coupon c930c6. But it looks like flashing this will leave you with Window...[Read More]
Teclast’s latest budget Android tablet, the X98 Air III is now up for preorder on Gearbest.com for only $138. It’s got similar specs to the X98 Air II, but the slightly slower Atom Z3735F (1.8Ghz), a new design and only Android 5.0, there is no dual OS onboard this model. Everything else is the same, IGZO LG retina screen, 2GB of RAM, Wireless-N 150mbps, BT 4.0, micro HDMI and a 32GB e...[Read More]
One of our forum members Dennis has received their X98 Pro Dual OS. He ran a few tests on the Tablet, the AnTuTu score is in the 44k range, most of the boost is thanks to the GPU boost the new Gen8 graphics has. As far as the overheating issue, it seems it doesn’t have the new bios and temps still get too hot even just watching 1080p clips in YouTube. The Android version it ships with is And...[Read More]
Here is the Windows 10 (multilanguage) image download files pulled from Teclast’s Baidu account for the X98 Pro, these files include the windows recovery partition and if you need to restore Windows 10 or just want Windows 10 on your dual boot X98 Pro this is the image files you need. The image support English and Chinese on first boot once installed, but you can later install language packs...[Read More]
Teclast today announced a new tablet, the X98 Air III. In a move I don’t really understand the X98 Air III is another 9.7″ tablet with the a lower clocked Z3735F 1.8Ghz Atom Bay Trail with a revised shell around it. The rest of the specs are the same as the X98 Air series, 32GB eMMC, 2GB of Ram, BT 4, microsd slot. 2MP front and 5MP rear camera. And only Android 5.0, no dual boot Windo...[Read More]
My X98 Pro International version arrived yesterday, it has English preinstalled on first boot for me and you can install language packs. It’s using Windows 10 Home and it’s fully activated, so it’s not called Windows 10 Bing as previously thought. I can report the following: 1. Same eMMC (Samsung CWBD3R) as my Chinese only Windows 10 model 2. No hardware changes, it’s a K9C...[Read More]
The official X98 Pro dual boot English page just went live today. (Good spotting Kamal) funny thing is there is no announcement on the official Teclast forum or Weibo account which is odd. The X98 Pro will now also ship with dual boot Android 5.1 and Windows 10 configurations starting from this Saturday (12th). I’ll continue to check the Teclast forums for any word on a dual boot bios releas...[Read More]
The Teclast X98 Pro Review is now online after Teclast released the drivers pack for the tablet a few days ago. I decided there wasn’t enough reason to hold the review back now since I’m running the drivers Teclast have supplied themselves. I will revisit the review once I get hold of my international version that has English support. That version is meant to be sold outside of China ...[Read More]
Edit: My Teclast X98 Pro Review is now online! I know many of you are waiting patiently for my Teclast X98 Pro review. Unfortunately, it’s going to be a week or so longer before my full written and rated review is online (I have ordered a X98 Pro Int’l model). I have decided it’s not entirely fair to review the tablet in it’s current state since it’s not running its f...[Read More]
I recently ordered a couple of cheap $185 X98 Air 3G’s for resale and although the Banggood listing said they were Windows 8.1 models, to my surprise both models have Windows 10 preinstalled from the factory. So Teclast stock, at least on Banggood.com is now shipping with Win 10. You can, of course, upgrade your Windows 8.1 X98 to Windows 10. But this version has the recovery as Win 10 which...[Read More]
