Onda Xiaoma 31 Review

The Onda Xiaoma 31 looks exactly like the EZBook 3 Pro, that’s because it’s from the same original design manufacturer. However Onda did make a few changes, firstly it’s in gold, there is a fingerprint reader and the Xiaoma 31 pro model comes with the faster Pentium N4200 Apollo Lake, not the typical N3450 we see in everything else.

Unlike the EZBook 3 Pro the Onda has 4GB of LPDDR3 RAM, 2GB less. The rest is exactly the same, same screen, keyboard, port layout and battery size. Ultimately the Onda Xiaoma 31 disappoints, with poor CPU performance. Considering it’s clocked 300Mhz higher on the CPU and has 6 more EU cores and 50Mhz more on the GPU the performance isn’t any better when it comes to demanding tasks or gaming. Only in synthetic benchmarks, it scores slightly higher showing us it is, in fact, a little faster, but not enough to warrant it’s almost $300 price tag.
