Pipo m8-Pro
The Best Premium tablets right now are coming from Pipo – the Pipo U7 – 3G 7,85″ tablet, Pipo M7 Pro (8.9″) and M9 Pro (10″) and Pipo M6 Pro (9.7″) — I’ve test most others on the market such as Cube and Chuwi which have many more problems and issues, especially with popular Apps and Services (such as with most of Google/Netflix, etc)
Hands Down, Pipo is offering the best build quality, UI, and so on…
In the U.S and Canada – one source for China-based Tablets is T ablet Sprint
I generally agree with you, Pipo and especially Pipo M6 Pro is a damn fine tablet for its price.
But take a look at the -quite new- Ramos i9… it has very decent built quality, looks purely awesome and is powered by a very potent Intel SOC.
Downside is, that it isnt available with 4:3 aspect ratio / retina resolution (like the M6 Pro) but in comparison to the M7 Pro, I like the Ramos better.
hahaha
good reply
ANDI seems to hand over his site to kiddos who are still studying and have no idea of how to write a review as he sees youtube videos maybe before writing and does not actually own or test the gadget.
this particular boy(writer of this post) is like a blind man trying to find his fav porno.
Hi, Yash Gargas
iPad mini alternatives I would not consider most of those.
apple products stand for superior quality… i dont see superior quality or premium in those models… you did an ok job with the article but just scratching the surface.
( like sammyportman1k made suggestions )
Apple products are built on:
1. Premium built quality
2. A verry good screen (IPS)
3. Long battery life
(4. 3g for a good AGPS experience my personal wish )
I think you should update this article on these aspects
This article is about iPad Mini ALTERNATIVE! Not about Apple. There’s no place for Apple here! So STFU & butt off fanboi zombie!
YOU are EMBARRASSING YOURSELF. Apple TROLL!!! The questions asked by Yash was “Do any of these iPad mini alternatives catch your fancy? Do you have one? Let us know what you think!”. Obviously you loathe China tablet alternatives so why even bother commenting here & smearing us with the Apple crap?! The website title clearly says “Gizchina.com Chinese phone, tablet, gadget and tech”. Your opinion is completely irrelevant & redundant here.
1. The real embarresment is to take the fake name of Anti Fanboi
and write a comment in such words on this Premium Alternative article of yours: Yash Gargas (so unprofessional)
2. Enforcing that you delete my comment
3. im not an apple fanboy but im searching for ALTERNATIVES (like eg the title states clearly an apple product name) and i dont mean shitty alternatives i mean alternatives that have a superior quality to other chinease tablets, a good screen and long battery life and preferrably a fast working gps
-as simple as that but in your mind you seem to evaluate everything by apple fanboy and anti fanoby… chapeau
and now go on and delete my comment again 😉
Only thing missing that some look for is support for a stylus.
Yep, that would actually make any of these more desirable than an iPad
pandawill offers a model (forgot its name) with built in stylus, 1280×800 screen and 4412 exynos. Costs some 166 euros.
and there s also the tomato t2 if u fancy speed but no stylus
(exynos 5410 octa)
Just broke my Chuwi V88 and I hope to get a worthy successor with the Pipo Ultra U8.
Let us know how it is 🙂
Made a video out of the first impression
