It’s not often that we write about Android tablets here, but when we get wind of a new Ainol tablet like the Novo 7 Crystal, it’s hard to ignore it.
A few years ago Ainol pounced on the tablet world with their then new Novo 7 range of 7-inch tablets. The tablets represented great value for money and were actually one of the first device to run Android ICS!
Gizchina News of the week
The Ainol Novo 7 range has evolved a lot since then and now comprises of a number of well priced devices all offering up to date hardware. The Ainol Novo 7 Crystal is one of the more popular models in the range thanks to the 1024 x 600 7-inch display, quad-core CPU and large(isn) 3700mAh battery.
It also doesn’t harm matters that the Ainol Novo 7 Crystal 2 costs just over on $94.99 via online resellers such as Lightake! In fact the only thing we don’t like is the overly long name!
What’s the CPU? The same lame ATM 7209? A dual core is even faster. Fail.
Ye, ATM chipset. Biggest mistake by Ainol 😉
Have a Hero II here and going to drop it out of my collection soon.
Wanted to replace it with the Cube U30GT 2 but that is / will not be avalible in black to soon it seems. So first i switched to the Pipo M8 pro for about 215 dollar.
RK3188 quadcore
9.4” 1280×800
2GB ram
DId wish there where some more tablets with a better resolution like in my Nexus 10 🙂
Ainol novo 7 with retina screen with better resolution than in Nexus 10.. But it a bit laggy
Maybe Ainol sticks to ATM processors because ATM is the only microprocessor manufacturer that aids them on keeping kernel sources available…
Why 1024×600? With such a screen resolution you don’t even need a Quad Core. I would’ve gone for it if the screen resolution was at least 1280×800. 🙁
3700mA battery’ what is the running time? 1 hour?
