Just got mine today. I’m not sure if it is build or transport related but my came mangled. Doesn’t lie flat at all. Some keys are recessed, especially in corners. Its usable. will try to open it and see if it can be straightened.

It shows availability from 28JUL-6AUG so would seem this would be a new one. I ordered one today too 🙂 39 USD seems good value if Chuwi learned from they’re mistake with original one.

I’m not a big fan of reporting runtimes as this varies depending on your usage but did some battery capacity testing and first charge from 2%-100% got result of 10185 mAh. Not so bad considering advertised 11000 mAh. Well done Chuwi!

I found the same thing with my Hi12 while using some chargers/cables. Doing some test with battery capacity measuring and I get only around 1.2 amps while charging. It could be to low for it to run and charge at the same time. If your charger or battery is of poor quality it may be even worse.

Didn’t measure but from what I remember there was a sticky outline on rear cover same size as the pad so I believe it makes pretty good contact. No thermal issues before and after opening tablet.

It works perfect on Windows with my huawei. Will test it on android tomorrow and let you know. But I doubt it to be honest.

Just flashed mine,

Got message ‘image type ia32 is not supported by this x64 shell’ and then flashing stopped. Command line, typed ‘exit’. Tablet went through boot screen few times and in the end windows loaded. Had to change memory freq also. Was 1600 before flash and 1066 after. CPUID shows new BIOS and frequency now is ok too. Will update how battery is doing now. Mine was going down to 21% then it would stay at 21% for about an hour at low usage and suddenly die. Will see if that helps.

 

Regards,

Martin

UPDATE: Another success story with this update!
