Hi i bought a cube iwork10 flagship and 3months after it die ; battery won t charge, of course i test lot of cables and charger
in fact the micro usb connector was broken , i sent my tablet to a pc repairer it fix but 2days after i re broke this, i disassemble the tablet and i notice this piece is very fragile, the connector is free to break ,nothing retain an twist of usb cable for example, whereas power connector of chuwi vi8 is fix with strenght he is blocked by a metal panel
So the power connector is very careless .
But my tablet is also die because battery have a wierd behavior ; it not charge unless fixed power connector, and batterymon notice me ther is only 7000mwh and this number is for the first ; gearbest sell me a tablet with 1500mah on stock wtf ! this tablet are expect to die

its up and i give you pictures according my problem, on the first picture you can see my micro usb port completely broken there is no plastic plate to retain pins thus it doent charge anymore

on picture two you can see my battery capacity metered by batterymon ; it notice 7699 mwh on stock so after conversion in mah it 1500mah

for comparaision in picture three you can see my chuwi vi8 with his battery capacity ,14726 mwh

cube iwork 10 has 7500mah and chuwi vi8 5000mah

so 1500mah and 3000mah in reality, wtf ? i invite you to post your batterymon screen because im curious to see your results

Mine is also DOA.  I’ve bought a few tablets but first problem I’ve ever had.  Here’s hoping Gearbest will honour their policy.

gearbest is clean if you return your product, you have to pay shipping bug paypal can refund shipping fee,

in my case i will make a mod ; solder powerbank on my tablet , i post result if its work

Update: Gearbest have indicated they will honour their DOA policy and refund cost plus shipping once they recieve the tablet.  I am still keen to buy one so looking for advice on whether to buy first version with mini usb 3 or ctype which seems to have more issues associatex with it. Any suggestions?  Both are available in dual boot for similar money.

More tech fails!  Time to buy gameboys. Solid fast tablet. Dummy people thats the prob! Dont buy if u dont know urntechs! And lol soldering a pack on this mobo is rly not smart way too many heat! Who says u didnt break it?

Mine lasted all of 6 months.  Really liked it while it lasted, but time to move on to something more reliable.  Was working fine until I took it on a flight, not sure if the pressurization had anything to do with it, but I’m really not interested in buying another one to find out.
