Quality of Chinese brand tablets?

[Vincent]

Yeah my first china tablet was the chuwi hi8 pro.  Bought it off ebay since I figured at least that way, someone had already tested that everything worked.  SD card slot stopped working within 90 days, just says SD card is blank.  I get around 3.5hrs of battery life – which is pathetic.  My kindle fire 7 gets over 7 hours.  Tablet also gets really hot around the CPU while charging; I have no idea why this happens.

Very interested in the Cube Mix Plus, but once bitten, twice shy.  The Surface Pro 4 has been on sale recently for 550, at least with that, I’m guaranteed 7-9hrs of battery life.  What attracts me most to the Mix Plus is the size.. it will fit inside of an Ipega 9023 for handheld gaming.

Thanks for the reply – glad to hear I’m not the only one. I’d love to hear that Chinese branded tablets have become more consistent in their quality… but right now, I’m still wary.

Now I can add the Cube iWork 10 Ultimate to the list of duds I’ve experienced.

 

Sadly, I’ve gone back to the mainstream PC area – using emulators to get Android. It was nice dabbling with Chinese tech – maybe I’ll come back in a few months / years when quality assurance improves!
