The No.1 mini Pad is an amazing iPad mini knockoff with quad-core processor, 2GB and phone function!


Finally an Android powered iPad mini knockoff we can happily go out and buy! The No.1 mini Pad packs features the real iPad mini won’t have for generation (if ever) and it’s launching very soon!

While we at Gizchina are stern Android phone fans, we all agree that the iPad mini is still one of the best tablets on the market, however it isn’t perfect! But rather than wait through generation after generation of slight iPad mini updates, we might skip Apple all together and pick up the No.1 mini Pad for our next tablet!

Just looking at the No.1 mini Pad you would be hard pushed to tell this tiny Android device from the real thing, in fact the only differences we can see are the slightly wider screen bezel and the branding on the rear.

Speaking of the screen it measures in a 7-inch, and while resolution hasn’t been confirmed rumours are suggesting it will be a 1280 x 720 HD panel!

Turning the miniPad over we can see the alloy body with miniPad branding along with a rear camera and we can just make out the physical buttons along the edges plus the SIM card tray for a 3G sim.

Like the cellular iPad mini, the No.1 mini Pad has plastic shroud which covers the 3G antenna to prevent interference, but unlike the Apple tablet this clone actually allows you to use the device as an actual phone making and receiving phone calls!

To get that phone functionality, the mini Pad uses the Mediatek MT6589 quad-core chip running at 1.2Ghz, the same processor found in many Chinese phones plus 2GB RAM which should ensure some pretty impressive performance figures!

Other highlights of the No.1 mini Pad include a front facing camera, a copy of Apple Lightning connector for data transfer and charging, plus the rather genuine looking iPad mini packaging.

The mini Pad shown in these photos is a prototype and as you can see is a little rough around the edges, but according to No.1’s staff we won’t have long to wait before this Android powered iPad mini knockoff clone hits the market.

    I wonder how long will it take for them to realize that offering 2GB ram no MTK Quad is not as easy as they though.

    Expect a soon delay on this…

    before you buy one, make sure you know how long the battery lasts, I have onda v812 ( A10 Quad core) and the wifi speed and battery are way way off a ipad mini

    According to the website, screen resolution will be 1280×800 and battery capacity will be 5000mah. Not sure about the quality of the battery or the indicator though.

    I just received the P 7 mini pad today and I can tell you right now it does not come with two gigabytes of RAM.The touch screen is not as responsive as a capacitive touchscreen should be in my opinion but its not horrible either. For a quad core processor I’m not terribly impressed considering I own a Galaxy Note 2.

        Couldn’t this be considered a review? It would be easy just to migrated it over to the proper section if I have it in the wrong area. I’m a bit confused sometimes the GPS works and sometimes it doesn’t. Like I said before I can’t get Google Voice to install which limits a lot of the usage that I normally would do with this as well as Netflix not operating at all.

          I’m sure it’s just a couple of software issues and the hardware is just fine I’m going to assume. I wish it was something that I didn’t have to deal with for instance acquiring a galaxy s3 galaxy s4 galaxy note 2 I own all of them and none came with these hickups or setback’s. it’s like a diamond that was cut almost perfect but not quite. In this case though I’m sure the issues that came with the phablet are fixable. It just annoys me to have to dig around google & XDA developers website to figure out what to do. what really annoys me though and I think is absolutely horrible is the fact that they lied to me basically with false advertising that this comes with two gigabytes of RAM which when I checked, it clearly does not.

    I’ve also noticed that quite a few apps either do not function properly or just don’t work at all. I’ve tried to install Google Voice so I could have voice capabilities and it keeps crashing. Netflix also looks like it works but it actually doesn’t. the GPS doesn’t work either maps doesn’t function no matter what I select in the GPS page it has some sort of error to do with side loading or something along those lines. Even though this has a quad core processor I don’t see any other benefits to this and yes I understand it can make phone calls and that was the big selling point but everything else is lacking. and again most of the important apps that I’ve tried to use have compatibility issues of some sort. If anyone can shed some light on this issue it would be greatly appreciated. I would definitely like to see a fix for what’s going on here. :-/
