Chuwi Hi12 upgrading soon?

[Robert]

I am new to Chinese tablets. I just bought a Chuwi Hi12 dual boot. I know a lot of people feel blindsided with Chuwi’s upgrade to the dual boot. The new Hi12 added Andriod which is a either a positive or negative depending on your preference. They upgraded the hardware to include a stylus and fixed a few bugs from the first generation. My question is when do you think Chuwi will upgrade again? The price is great for the specs and I cannot wait to get my tablet. But I will be angry if I see another upgraded version within the next few months. I would have liked a little extra RAM, faster processor or even an extra inch or two on the screen. I know this is the nature of technology. But please Chuwi don’t roll out a better tablet before I can unpack the one I purchased. Thoughts?

Chuwi has already announced a new Hi12 packed with Windows 10 and Remix OS, an android desktop OS.

You can already put Remix OS on your Hi12, but it is missing wifi support. I can’t see why dual boot and Win10 models alike wouldn’t be able to install the completed Hi12 optimized Remix OS once it’s released.

 

There is no release date

Oh, I am not too angry about Remix OS. This is actually the first I have heard of that Android system. I actually like the contrast between Win10/Android 5.1. And Remix OS seems like it is too new to be stable/compatible with apps anyway. To me it just shows Chuwi is trying to be cutting edge. I was more worried about hardware upgrades/fixes. Where did you hear that news about Chuwi? I would like to be more informed.

I seriously doubt there will be upgrade of RAM or screen. 4gb and 12′ are already huge specs for a low end tablet. If there is again hardware, that’s would be for existing bugs like the failling motherboard in the first windows version. But it seems now to be fixed.

As for your concern about Remix os, i can say the OS is perfectly stable [on my teclast x98 plus] and already relatively mature considering the first version . And remix os add a real plus in the perspective of multi-tasking. Once you’re used to it, you don’t want to come back to stock android, which i found immature for tablet use even if adapted for phone.

The only downside is the lack of ability to add widget on the home screen. But some tweaks may allow to add a third party launcher like Nova Launcher in order to enjoy widgets.

My 2 cents.

I think you are absolutely right! I would pay a little more for a little more power but I guess that would be another gamble. I am happy to hear Remix is progressing well. I hope we do get full support in our early model Hi12’s. If not, I will definitely get it on my next phone. It does look pretty awesome. Thanks guys, that is exactly what I wanted to hear! For a tablet under $250, I shouldn’t be looking for ice cream on top of my cake.. LOL
