ALLDOCUBE X
Design and display
The ALLDOCUBE X, like most China tablets of the time, uses a metal unibody case. The housing is therefore not composed of several parts, but is made from one piece. The advantages of this design are seamless transitions at the edges of the housing and an overall more stable and slimmer housing. This can also be seen in the thickness of the X tablet. This is just 0.69 cm. The other dimensions are 24.5 cm long and 17.5 cm wide.
The connection options are clear. In addition to the USB-C socket, the tablet only has a 3.5 mm audio jack. There is no HDMI connection option, but the USB-C port is also able to transmit video signals with a suitable adapter. The device is equipped with a fingerprint scanner for secure unlocking. ALLDOCUBE has placed this on the side of the housing frame so that it is easy to reach.
The display is of the Super AMOLED type and has a diagonal of 10.5 inches with 2560 x 1600 pixels. The manufacturer of the panel is Samsung. In contrast to the conventional LCD, an AMOLED panel does not have a backlight. Each pixel lights up by itself. For example, if you want to display black, the pixels simply remain switched off. This results in a black level that cannot be surpassed. The manufacturer specifies the display brightness as 300 cd / m². The contrast ratio is 100.000: 1.
Processor and memory
The System-on-Chip (SoC) is a MediaTek MT2016 presented at the end of 8176, which is mainly for Android tablets (e.g. Xiaomi Mi Pad 3 ) was designed. Essential components include a hexa-core CPU with two powerful Cortex-A72 processor cores (2.1 GHz) and four energy-saving Cortex-A53 cores (1.7 GHz) as well as an IMG PowerVR GX6250 GPU. The memory configuration amounts to a 4GB LPDDR3 main memory and a 64GB eMMC5.1 data memory. A memory expansion using a microSD memory card is possible!
As "Designed for Movie & Music", the tablet is primarily designed for films and music. The IMG PowerVR GPU is able to decode H.265 and VP-9 encoded video material at the hardware level. Experience has shown that one or two mobile games can also be played smoothly with this SoC. However, the test will show how well ALLDOCUBE has optimized the tablet. With Android 8.1, the handheld is up to date, at least in terms of software.
Connectivity, battery and others
In contrast to the recently released competition from Chuwi (Chuwi Hi9 Air) and Teclast (Teclast M20), the ALLDOCUBE tablet does not offer mobile phone support. The wireless connection is made using a dual-AC WiFi module and Bluetooth 4.2. For video telephony there is an 8 megapixel camera on the front and on the back. A microphone is available. GPS or NFC are missing. The capacity of the battery is an impressive 8.000 mAh. One battery charge is sufficient for a standby time of 72 hours, video playback for up to 8 hours or 5 1/2 hours with intensive use. Pump Express 2.0 charges the tablet with up to 12V 1.5A in a very short time.
In addition to the Super AMOLED display, ALLDOCUBE attaches great importance to the sound of the tablet. The built-in AKM Hi-Fi audio chip promises excellent sound properties, both via the two stereo speakers and the headphone output. We will soon find out whether the tablet delivers what it promises in terms of sound ("audio experience just like private cinema" - according to the manufacturer). A test copy is already on the way!
Price and availability
The tablet will be available from August 08th via the “Indiegogo” sales platform. As an “early bird” you can buy the ALLDOCUBE X in advance for $219 (around €190). The MSRP is $269 (approximately €233). It is expected that the tablet will soon be added to the range of other retailers.

That sounds really too tempting. Will you test the tablet?
