Hi all,
Not seen a thread about this new tablet from Huawei yet. In the UK it is going to be exclusive to Expansys - http://www.expansys.com/d.aspx?i=199911
A quick list of specs,
- Snapdragon 768MHZ
- 256MB RAM
- MicroSD slot
- 7" 800x480 screen (CAPACITIVE!!)
- Sim card slot, supporting HSPA/UMTS
- WiFi 11b/g/n
- 3.5mm stereo audio jack
- 2mp camera
- 2200mAh battery
Now for me, this seems REALLY good, as an alternative to the iPad. Although it is more than twice as expensive as other Chinese Android tablets, its spec is far superior and because it is made by a reputable company, the quality is likely to be much better than the currently available junk.
At first I thought it was Wifi only without 3G, but now that I found that it has, I am not even going to consider the iPad, especially seeing as HTC has yet to make a tablet anyway. So yep so far it looks really good.
What is not clear, is whether it has GPS and multi-touch.
I am wondering if there is going to be a section for this device over here at XDA Dev?
Thinking about it, isn't 800x480 a bit too low?
I've been looking into this as I'm interested in one.
From what I've read Huawei haven't even released the specifications of this yet - it may even have a resistive screen and looks like it won't be available until August anyway!
If you find any more info on it, let us know!

I think Expansys said they will have it in stock (UK) next week.
But yea, wouldn't put money in yet until there are reviews to read.
If you have a look at this vid, it shows a stylus so it definitely looks as if it's a resistive screen.

But the fingering operation seems too smooth for a resistive screen?
Either way I hope we find out next week!
If it turns out to be just a polished turd then, well the iPad will be on the card again...

I'm not sure myself. I'm still considering it - like you say it does have a very responsive screen resistive or not...
Or do you know of any other similar devices to be released soon that have a capacitive screen (not an iPad ) that would be worth looking at?

Yeah, what is it?
The thing is, I have a Toshiba TG01, which at the time was said to have a "really responsive resistive screen", and the reality is that it's nowhere near a real capacitive. In fact even my spare dodgy Samsung Symbian feature phone with a cheapest possible capacitive screen is more responsive.
I wouldn't mind resistive so much on a Windows PC tablet (in fact I have a few, still in use), but on a mobile fingery tablet, it is definitely a deal breaker for me.
One thing that is worth looking at is the Ramos W7. But it has been delayed again and again, and the places that are going to sell it are a bit dodgy... And you know what the usual problems a small Chinese brand could bring. The spec and price point look very nice as a Dell Streak alternative though. I can see myself using it on the toilet a lot, which at the moment an iPod Touch does this particular job for me, if that is not too much detail for you.
God damn it I wish HTC would make one!
I wouldn't buy a tablet with a capacitive screen. Capacitive means no handwriting (with pen), and I want my tablet to replace my old paper notebook. Resistive screens also have much higher accuracy, which could be useful in some applications (like spreadsheets).
My old Touch Pro 2 is working pretty well, despite the resistive screen.
I had a good look at this and was very tempted as i wanted an android tablet it looks very good they say the bad points are
No multitasking and no built in memory,
In the end i went for the Dell Streak and i am glad i did it blows the icrap stuff out of the water

Sounds like you are in the market for a PC-tablet rather than a media/entertainment-tablet like the one we are discussing.
I have a few Fujitsu tablets and also had some UMPCs with Windows 7 and resistive tech works very very well on them. Not quite the same case with these iOS/Android tablets though.
I dunno there is no lack of competition for the ipad. Everyone and their brother is releasing numerous models. I personally am partial to ASUS and plan on going that route. I heard they will have 2 versions. A windows OS and an Android OS. Heres some other options

I guess you're right.
I would love a linux powered tablet. An iPad with Ubuntu and a resistive screen.
I've got a OQO 01, but that's not really the same. It's too small.
Do you have any suggestions?
Well, there are a (small) number of netvertibles to choose from. Gigabyte's TouchNote seems to be especially popular and can be had for cheap second hand, but Asus has a new EEE netvertible too. If money was no object, Fujitsu does have a nice range with CULV processors.
They all come with keyboards though. If you are desperate a true tablet, Archos 9 is coming out next week... But I'll be very wary of Archos's quality and support!!
EDIT:
I tried Ubuntu Netbook Remix on one of mine by the way, and in my opinion it is quite unfinished... There are number of problems with device drivers too. Things might have changed since, but I'd rather have something that just works.

I've just been looking around at this again, mainly because it seems that it's going to be the best available Android 2.1 tablet around for a while...
Anyway, it seems as if eXpansys UK were lying about it being exclusive to them because Play.com, Clove Technology, Handtec and others have this for sale too. They're all cheaper than eXpansys too.
Hmm, still thinking about getting one. Anyone else? Forum on XDA for it too?
Expansys has posted their own (obviously positive) review.
http://www.expansys.com/blog/?p=785
But it is more of an advert than a review.
Huawei S7
So I picked up the Cruz Reader, the Cruz Tablet and the Huawei S7 this weekend over at Best Buy, and the only one that I am keeping is the S7. Even with the TFT as opposed to the Capacitive Screen on the Cruz Tablet, the Huawei is better in every regard.
I will be posting more details separately for each device later today, but for right now, I would say don't even bother with the Cruz devices.
I am really curious about the Huawei Ideos S7. I have not seen much video of the actual retail version that is available now at Best Buy. I ordered a Maylong M150, but have been waiting for weeks for it. I know the Huawei is 3 times the price, but 2.1 with actual non hacked market access kinda seems worth it. I am curious about the battery life, though.
Does anyone have one?
I can't see any new info on it on the net. I have preordered one, but this really seems fishy. I won't be getting one until mid November though so if there's something wrong at least I'll have plenty of time to cancel my order.
I noticed it's actively cooled, anyone know how loud those fans are?
I'm surprised with the total lack of reviews or information about this tablet. To me it looks like one of the best Windows 8 tablets currently available, specially for the price.
Yeah. I wondered why too
The prices is great!. They are selling it at what other OEM charging for the atom processors.
Even the battery life is good, about double of the surface pro. Heck. They didn't even try to cheat you on purchasing overpriced keyboard dock.

This device doesn't have a keyboard dock, only an optional cradle. It extends battery life and works great while working at a desk/table, but not so well while sitting up in bed, on a sofa, or anywhere else a laptop comes in handy. Maybe not an issue for some, but that's unfortunately a deal-breaker for me. The whole point in considering a hybrid to begin with. Not sure why they don't have one like the W510. Great device otherwise.

I"m using the Toshiba U920t, which converts from a tablet to a laptop. It is a bit thicker, and the battery is only good for about 5 hours, but it works well, and is only a couple hundred more than the W700 with 128 GB SSD.
http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c...model=U920t&lid=CFAMsatellite_SeriesLinkU920t
I have been using a w700 for a month
I love this tablet. I have the i3 with the Intel HD4000 graphic card. I have many tablets, but here's a quick rundown:
Pros
1) runs full win8 which is pretty seemless with touch
2) Beautiful full HD screen
3) Fast SSD, boots in 7 seconds
4) Dock, keyboard and case included in 700 price
5) I run Photoshop with huge images from my Sony a65 24.3 mp camera. It runs almost as fast on i3/4gb as my Sandybridge i7 with 16gb of RAM. I use full MS Office Pro Plus, have a bunch of Metro apps and use Bluestacks for stuff like Google Books (which works great)
6) Bat life is 8-9 hours!
7) The Win store is criticized for lack of content, but some of the games are unreal. Toy Soldiers, Reckless Racing 2, Etc. they blow away the best games for my Asus Infinity/Ipad 3.
8) It's full windows with a beautiful screen and small form factor, what can I say?
Cons
1) SSD is small, 64gb in my case, going to replace it with a 256gb msata
2) No SD slot
3) One usb on device (3 on dock)
4) a little heavy for kindle/ereader usage
After getting this thing, I am going to sell my 2 Asus Transformers and my Ipad and just keep my Nexus 7 for reading.
This thing is amazing, close to full pc/tablet convergence.
I have an Acer W700 tablet as well but with tge i5 processor and the 128GB SSD.
Pros
- The price. The best tablet under 1000€ and it even beats a few of the tablets above 1000€ as well.
- The hardware is fantastic. No lagg or anything! ( this is NOT a gaming tablet but it plays smaller games without problems)
- The touch works great the only problems I've encountered arecaused by the softwares.
- The battery life is amazing beats my vaio every time.
Cons
- No SD card slot ( Being compensated by a 500GB 2.5" external USB 3.0 HDD)
- No 3G modem ( a pro for me since I don't gave to pay for a subscription)
This tablet is one of the best tablets on the market for the price.
I wrote a rather extended review on this Tab on my blog. I will be writing more on both Windows 8 and W700 in the new future.
Link to the review: Can't post a external link here, just go to my blog and click on "Devices" on the right side, should be the one on the top.
I saw pics online of a keyboard case for this tablet similar to the surface style. Should be coming soon.. too bad i couldn't wait..

Yeah I feel the same.. The cover is made by Acer so I think that they will release it for us who have already bought the tablet. Otherwise, ebay for a first / third party afterwards that it has been released. Swedish E-tailers do already have the tablet in their stores but are still waiting for delivery from acer.
-- edit --
The delivery is estimated to the 14th of february
I really love this tablet! I have the I3 version (Ivy bridge) and it is extremely fast. Wonderful screen (comparable to the retina from Apple). Im very impressed so far!

Net-On-Net has i3 Sandy version in stock, I ordered my on 2012-01-02, had it in my hands on 2012-01-04.
Has anyone seen any update regarding the keyboard case? I've searched everywhere and could not find any information regarding it's release in USA.

For those who have intention to buy, it would be wise to check the link before you make final decision so that you won't have
buying regret.
I got mine on January 14th from Futureshop in canada with the keyboard case...the case is very nice.
Only one issue...some times (mostly starts in google chrome but keeps on after closing it and resolves by screen off and on) my touch screen goes crazy and clicks by it self, I have not tried calibrating or other solutions yet and I am thinking of returning, but getting new one will be more trouble...any idea guys?
It seems like that the so far keyboard case is only available in Canada

Yes, almost all W700's have WIFI issue as delivered, but easilly fixable with a driver update. Mine suffered from constantly disconnecting/re-connecting, installed new driver from Acer site, works perfect now. (Make sure to follow instructions about removing old driver, restarting, installing new driver)

I got mine from Amazon.ca, has the keyboard case, but the identical item on Amazon.com also came with the keyboard case. Was $50.00 cheaper on Amazon.ca, & only had to pay gst, versus ND state tax, plus GST and PST if would have ordered on Amazon.com. (Info for any other Canadians who live close enough to be able to shop both sides of the border.)
Hello,
I am one of those who are looking for a 8inch windows 8.1 china tablet with high specs at a decent price (<150$). I opened this thread because I can not decide which one to choose and I am sure this would be useful for future possible buyers of such tablets.
So, I have found so far 4 options:
1. Teclast X80h
2. PIPO W2F
3. Voyo a1 mini
4. ONDA V820w
Prices range from 110$ to 145$
They all share mostly the same specs:
-IPS 1280x800 display (16:10)
-1.83gHz Z3735F Intel Atom processor quad-core
-2GB DDR3 RAM
-32GB internal memory
-4200 to 5000mAh batteries (Onda 4200mah, Pipo 4500mah, Teclast and Voyo 5000mah)
Onda V820w is the newest tablet and it should be the most valuable since it supports SD cards up to 128GB. I wanted to buy it right away despite the slightly lower battery capacity. 32GB for Windows really is not much at all. The only thing that stopped me buying it was TinyDeal support: they said is it worse than Teclast and PIPO quality-wise. This is why I opened this thread. I started looking for tablets and these 4 I came up with.
Teclast X80h: I did not find any review yet to say anything bad about this tablet. I guess it would be a safe buy, but because of lack of negative feedback I am in doubt of buying (sounds crazy haha. I am just saying that perhaps those who had problems just not wrote on review section on tinydeal/aliexpress). In January 31st it will be released dual OS - Android and Windows 8.1 dual bootable version of X80h. I thought that we could upgrade the tablet as well to dual OS? (I am asking since I do not know)
PIPO W2F: TinyDeal support also told me that this one is better than Teclast X80h. Why? They did not mention anything, they said that it is simply better quality and people prefer this. So, again I am in doubts about this one. I remember looking for PIPO P1 a month ago and heard that it has some issues that tablet with the sound, it overheats and so on.
Voyo A1 mini: I've read about 3 negative feedbacks on aliexpress about this one: all related to the touchscreen and one also mentioned some problem with an unsoldered wire that solved it by himself.
I just simply can't decide. Honestly, the 128GB SD support of Onda V820w really grabbed all my attention, but I want something that will not break after a month or two.
Those who have experience with these tablets/own one please help us, the ones who are looking for such tablets, with a review: cons and pros and what you recommend.

On Aliexpress they are cheaper, except for Onda.
I can only speak for the Voyo: it supports 128GB microSD and no lose wires or bad touchscreen.

Ok. That is something i did not know. On TinyDeal they say up to 64GB. I've also seen more reviews with weird/laggy touchscreen response. Could you make a brief review? For example, for how long have you had it? Have you had any problems? How has been your experience with it since now? Etc..
I decided to go for Teclast X80h.
PIPO (in general) and Voyo (A1 mini) are cheaply-made rubbish tablets. Problems encountered by many people: battery fail for PIPO, touchscreen and charging port gets defective for A1 mini. Both heat like hell, especially when charging. So, do not buy those cr*ps. As for Onda I did not even bother to look for reviews. TinyDeal themselves said not to buy it, so I will not. I am sure they know why, only that they did not want to tell me.
Teclast is the best chinese tablet maker on the market. They really advance with the technology. They introduced the Dual-OS on chinese tablets, starting with X98 Air and now X80h also come with dual-OS, has 5000mAh but supports only 32GB microSD card for about 135$. That's about it. Reliability over functionality.
As for the xda members "thanks" a lot for your help. I don't even know why I even bothered to write this thread.
I'm looking at purchasing the Pipo W6.
Is it everyones consensus here that Pipo make crappy products and I should stay away?
here are the specs:
pipo-store.com/pipo-w6-3g-tablet-pc-quad-core-8-9-inch-1920x1200-window-8-1-2gb-32gb.html
I recommend you Teclast X90HD. Muuuuch better screen and better quality overall. Teclast is the best chinese brand for tablet.
Check it on Aliexpress, price is about the same.
root?
hello ... I also decided to buy this tablet rather than the 'x98 air because I prefer a more compact format but I liked the dual boot .... I have noticed, however, that there isn't a community behind this tablet, unlike the x98 air and I can not find a way to root ... Any ideas ???

I guess it will take some time until a community will build up. I will go for X80h as well when it gets released. Wanted to get Onda's v891w, but it's not worth it. Onda has serious hardware issues. Too many people has complained especially about V975w, so no, I'll stick with Teclast.
Was not come out? I have ordered on tinydeal (still to come) and wrote that it are dual boot and has installed both windows and Android ....

Teclast is a very reliable brand, and has been making protable multimedia players for many years, not a bad choice, but they are not the best, Have you heard of Lenovo, they are better, but also, they are not the best.
I ask to teclast customer services for the root and they reply me i can use the same toolkit used on x98 air...
As soon i can, i will try on my teclast x80h....

Just bought an X90HD, but the invisible dividing line in the middle of screen (whatever you wanna call it!) is kinda annoying
Code:
bbs.teclast.co*/forum-94-1.html
there are couple of threads here that this issue has been discussed
it's not only the visibility issue, sometimes (especially when you split the screen for multitasking) screen literally splits and you have to restart. there are some speculations that it might get fixed with BIOS upgrade but doesn't look too promising as the line is there even in the BIOS itself. i have not seen any Teclast official staff responding to this phenomena and that makes it more unlikely to resolve
is there anyway that i can get in touch with Teclast technical team? my only source for now is the Teclast forum which is in chinese and google translator can be inaccurate sometimes
I would go with Teclast X80h. Its quite a good tablet.
I'm suprised there isn't a thread yet about the teclast x80h as it is now a dual os device also.
I own one and for the price it is a steal, full windows pc in the form of a tablet. paid 120usd for it.
I looked at the spec, but the 5 points touchscreen is a no-go for me.
Can any body tell me about the battery life

You can guess my point though if you search the title of this thread. There is a youtube video which I will link in 6 posts which I find fascinating.
This smart watch has android, is inexpensive, has a pulse monitor, and "e-ink" screen. I wanted to know if it is any good. It has the same cpu as the SmartQ Z1 but is much thinner 9.5 mm.
Thoughts?
No SIM or WiFi, 320mAh battery. Android 4.2.
I'm sure it's a good piece for those that prefer notifies. I guess someone will have to buy it and test it.

Yeah no SIM sucks, or WiFi, no Compass, no GPS. But it does have Bluetooth 4.0/2.0 whatever that is... anyone know if that is a mistranslated 4.2?
That is a small battery true 320mAh but that possibly leads to the lighter weight, lower height of the watch which is 9.5mm thick.
It does have Android 4.3 actually, and it uses the same cpu as the SmartQ Z1 which is already ported. It only has 512 megs rom and 512 megs ram, which will be a problem for adding apps, that right there is almost enough to kill it.
The big thing it does have is.
Pulse Monitor
E-Ink Background, it switches between e-ink and TFT seamlessly, there is a youtube video that makes me want to buy this watch.
Run time is 7 days on paper, while displaying time 100% of the time using e-ink (very cool)
It has android so it can be upgraded at some point by the ppl in this forum!!!
If there is something similar / better out there for the same money let me know before I buy this one! I am leaning toward this one mainly because it is so thin, its actually thinner than the apple watch (10.5mm)

So, there is the Reedone X1 which is interesting but does not have the low power e-ink TFT thing going for it. I like the specs but dont like the 11mm thickness and lack of e-ink TFT.
Reedone website shows the Reedone X2 (there would be a link here, but you have to find it yourself because reasons!) The Reedone X2 is the same watch as the X2 Smartwatch from IQI, with same pictures and stats.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a smart watch then?
This looks the same as GearBest are selling as Atongm WO13 http://www.gearbest.com/smart-watches/pp_166847.html and has the same display as he MiMi Mi-W3/Podoor PW305II http://www.gearbest.com/smart-watches/pp_139964.html
I looked at this a few weeks ago but could see no advantages over the Mi-W3 I already own plus the following disadvantages:
Not waterproof - the MiMi is IP67 rated.
Much larger in height.
Proprietary charging cradle - what is the point when it isn't waterproof and uses exposed electrodes? Just something else to lose or break.
Edited to add: The BT 4.0/2.0 is because it uses a dual module that connects with either 2.0 or 4.0 protocols dependent on the device it is connecting to.

As IQI X2 on Aliexpress
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Newe...32324780280.html?spm=2114.32010308.4.2.tnhc0X
As Simptech X2 on Lightinthebox and Aliexpress -
http://www.lightinthebox.com/simpte...kers-waterproof-for-andriod-ios_p2863209.html

There are two videos on youtube

Wish someone had this, close to pulling the trigger, but I don't know whether just to not get an android based watch and get the new No 1 S2 (Sun).

I don't believe it is Android based, apart from the splash screen there is nothing in the videos or adverts to suggest that it is. As it uses an Ingenics XBurst CPU I would guess it uses a version of their MIPS compiled Linux.
Although on Pandawill and Geekbuying, it clearly states Android 4.3 as the OS. Also, didn't the smart Q run on the same JZ4775 chip and run Android? i'll check with all the china shops tommorow and see what they say about the OS.
LightInTheBox says Android too, I was just going on the videos and screenshots, neither of which look like any Android I've seen, but of course it could be heavily customised.
Read the reviews of the NO.1 G2. Doesn't sound like a good buy. I'd definitely wait to see what the S7ler or others reviews have to say about the Sun.
maybe they mean it's compatible with android, not running it as an os?

Thats what I'm thinking. I'll check with them both later today and see.

I saw a video of the No. 1 S2 and the screen goes to the edges and beyond. I saw lettering go past the screen, which looks glitchy. I was tempted because of how slick it looks but they didn't do any work on switching the square scene to a round screen.

Geekbuying claims it has Android 4.3 on it....but still not 100% convinced.

Yes, It does. that video shows the Android boot animation, plus Android is the only OS JZ4775 supports.

I am torn between this one and the Reedone HG-X1.
ISI X2 :
72.08 - Lowest Price
TFT Screen, Heart Rate Monitor, Pedometer, etc...
Reedone HG-X1:
80.99 - Lowest Price (black plastic?) at
Same as ISI X2
+GPS
+Waterproof
+Built in USB Connector
- 1mm thicker at dial
They are very similar. I have not seen a video on the Reedone yet though.
Any thoughts on these? Do they actually run Android? Would android gear be portable to these?
Check this new Android Smartwatch from Lemfo go AliExpress Lemfo store or google it for Lemfo Lem X just I will give some of the specifications; design like the Lem 7 but removable straps, 2.03 inches full around Amoled display, the SoC mtk6739 with power VR GPU, 1/16 Gb, Bluetooth 4.2 , 4G capability , better camera and Android 7.1, but not Bluetooth calling feature, to bad.
It’s in presell right now .
Bigger is better
Once again, AliExpress is a bit sloppy with the details.
From the "Item Specifics": battery 450mAh, camera 5MP
From the "Product Description": battery 900 mAh, camera 8MP.
Which is correct?
900Mah and the price went down
The watch looks promising but I do not trust the render pictures. On official pictures the Lem7 is almost bezelless but in reality there is a big bezel. If the watch has also such a bezel and a 2inch screen it will be huge...
If it’s like that I will cancel the order, I don’t think that they will do like that because the Lem 7 has a lot feedback about it, will see
I bought one on pre sale. Specs are really good! Can’t wait!! Game changer compared to other watches!
Replaceable straps, nice resolution, big screen, nice cpu. Like it!

Ip67 waterproof,900Mah battery capacity , but maybe if you notices its going to have the flat tire,but small,because is the resolution is 640 x 590 just 48 for full around i believe so????
https://www.omnicalculator.com/othe...ght_res:640,width_res:590,diag_size:2.03!inch
428.8ppi density
one more other things no buttons so i am wandering , beside the red one on the left side,maybe power on/off
Think the button is a “home button” have to wait for a review on youtube for real life experience. All we got now is the rendered images from alieexpress(photoshopped)
But it’s only 140 euro. So worth a gamble
Didn’t get the flat tire remark, but you are right, comes due to the resolution. Hopefully there are some nice dials, so it won’t be that obvious.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nXmzvZ6twn4
No bad the video good idea, they replay couples of my messages and the flat tire it’s there.
look a this the first video of the Lem X
https://youtu.be/GjAjX0ctHMQ
https://www.xiaomitoday.com/lemfo-lem-x-review
But looks nice. Guy in the video got thin arms. Or the watch is enormous

yeah thats what i said is a monster device in RASC forums roundandroidsmartwatched proboard,go over there be a member nice peoples,but remember those chinese peoples have smaller wrist. you know the style is identical to the moto 360
Why do they never implement NFC payments?!
Such great specs, but for lack of NFC. I know QR code payments are the most common in China, but why not add this feature and broaden the appeal of the watch?
I'm not familiar with these smartwatches - from the description it appears that you can install apps from the Play store... is this correct?
LEM X question
Any one know the strap size?
Who every has one, want are you getting on the average for battery life?
not in market yet, we will know everything after august 28
First look

This companies, not being racist or anything, they think of the market margins....2 billion people/customers in China vs, what, about 700 million in Europe. That's how Huawei started and that's why they toped Samsung on sales.
There are more people that can afford a £100 watch then a £300 one.
It won't cost more to add NFC and Bluetooth calling but it takes time to implement the software feature and to sort the bugs, as all the developers on this site will know.
This componies there are about quantity and new models as soon as possible.
What they do is watch the big companies watch/phone tech leaks and they will try to implement them first. 1 penny plus 1 penny makes 8.7 trillion $.
Lemfo lem x screen bubble
I just got my watch and like it but I seem to have a type of air bubble in the top left of the screen, has anyone else had this and if so can I fix or do I need a replacement.
Cheers
