If you have a Teclast X98 Air 3G or X98 Air II, you should be running one of Mirek190’s ROMs, they really give you the best Android experience on your X98 Air tablet. Much better than that laggy Teclast launcher and bloated ROM. Version 4.2 was released a couple of days ago. It’s a bug fix release and includes the install.bat file which makes it really easy to install this ROM without ...[Read More]
My Teclast X98 Air II 64GB model arrived just today, a quick test of the drive gave me a pleasant surprise, I got lucky. The eMMC onboard this particular one is a Samsung CWBD3R and I achieved 165mb/s reads and 109 writes. One of the best scores, if not the best I’ve seen for an eMMC drive. 4k random read speed was also good. Unfortunately buying the latest HG9M doesn’t always guarante...[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]
Prices have been dropping in the last month, the Chuwi Vi10 is now only $140, and the Teclast X98 Air 3G 64GB model is now $202.95, both have free shipping included. All these price drops make me wonder if they are clearing out stocks for the up and coming new models with Windows 10 or next gen Atom chips? If you have found cheaper please let us know in the comments.
This is the latest 64GB revision of the Teclast X98 Air 3G, the C5J6. They all seem to be using Samsung eMMC drives now, but this is surely dependent on the batch and stocks Teclast have on hand. I’ve seen the 32GB version with BWIN, Toshiba and Hynix brand eMMCs. The price has really come down, $206 from Gearbest now. I think I paid well over $250 for the 32GB model dual boot when it was re...[Read More]
I’ve found which I think is the cheapest deal yet on the 64GB dual boot Teclast X98Air 3G, only $206 with free delivery. Hopefully soon we will see this tablet below $200 everywhere. And the Chuwi Vi10 Dual boot for $153.69 only about $4 dollars more than the limited $149 sale that was on Ali Express a few weeks ago. And then there is the Chuwi Hi8 which is up for pre order at $96 with coupo...[Read More]

Teclast have just recently added Air 3G and Air II Android 5.0 dual boot firmwares for users to download via their forum. (Which is in Chinese) This is a beta trail of the firmware, so I can only imagine new Air II and Air 3G’s to start shipping from the factory in a few weeks with Android 5.0, wait for that announcement. In the meantime if you are keen to flash your own Air 3G or Air II ove...[Read More]
I’ve been hunting around on the Teclast forums for some hands on first impressions and photos of the just released Teclast X1 Pro 4G Core M. It started shipping out to customers in China just a day or two ago. Here are the first user photos that were uploaded I could find. So far the first impressions of the X1 Pro 4G are a mixed bag. Some are claiming it’s to heavy, 1.01 kilos in one ...[Read More]
An official press photo of the internals of the Telast X1 Pro 4G reveals the Core M 5Y10C’s heat spreader, motherboard and various other components inside this 12.2 inch Surface Pro 3 clone. Judging by the look of it mSata or M.2 slots in the tablet, both the modem and the 128GB are replaceable and upgradable if you wanted to swap the 128gb drive out for a larger 256GB or 512GB one. Opening ...[Read More]
