Essential Accessories

Still looking for a decent screen protector and case. I have a cheap screen protector which I had to cut to fit and a cheap case at the moment.

3M Fabric Braided Flat Micro USB Charger Data Sync Cable For Tablet Cellphone – because you always need a longer cable to charge while using.

You mean something like this one:

Won’t be good enough, it has too much loss – charging will be way too slow for a battery this big.

You will need something like this one:

This is the best cable I have come across until now, but still you might go for a 2m version instead for added stability in data transfer.

I think the most important accessory is a memory card because you will fill the 64 gigs very rapidly. With the memory card you can move your libraries to drive D: along with your installed apps, leaving C: for the system and for the apps (like Office 2016, Chrome) that need to be on Drive C.

Anyone found a good screen protector and case (non keyboard case) ?

[Russ Dyer]

I did order the BlitzWolf chargin brick and its working well for charging two devices at once with the full 2 amps each.

im looking for a good HDMI cable i have one of a old TV Stick, but its very short

HDMI transmits a digital rather than analogue signal so quality of the cable isn’t too crucial. It will either work fully, or not at all – no middle ground.
No need to go mad with expensive silliness like gold-plated connectors and individually shielded conductors that some of the con artist cable manufacturers advertise.

Pretty much any commonly available microHDMI to HDMI cable or microHDMI to HDMI adapter + regular HDMI to HDMI cable will do the job.

Hello guys, quick question, what’s the difference between those 2 styluses and which one is best for hi10/vi10 ?

Thanks 😀

The 2nd one has a magnetic “clip” so it sticks to the bezel of the tablet. Since the Chuwi Hi10 case is plastic that’s of no real help. In fact the magnetic “sleep” sensor on the Hi10 seems to be far too sensitive so you may end up shutting down the tablet every time the magnet gets close.
The Shelley one with the wider tip also has a fatter body – I gather that slimmer traditional “pen” shaped stylii like the first one are better for writing text/notes while the fatter ones are considered better for freehand drawing.

Otherwise the only difference is the size of the tip. Smaller tips let you see more of the area you are drawing and supposedly aid precision, but larger tips register contact better so, in the end, may end up being more accurate in real world use. Both factors vary enormously depending on the exact type & properties of the material used for the tip.

Only real way to know which will suit you best would be to try each yourself. Not terribly helpful advice, I know, considering these are random nameless factory generics and will only ever appear online on BangGood/AliExpress/Amazon/eBay etc, not in retail shops where you can test/compare them.

Wow, thanks for the insight 🙂

I’ll be buying the the Vi10 Ultimate 64gb (too many issues with the Hi10, and I like  the Vi10 build glass + metallic bezel).

I’ll have the dock keyboard too but I’d love having a stylus too, so the magnetic one would stick to the bezel? Any stylus recommendation on banggood?

I get most of my cables from monoprice, as they are very affordable. HDMI cables are pretty much all similar so no need for expensive ones.
