Update 10 Nov 2024: Latest software update fixed RUclips app freezes Update 27 Oct 2024: Main camera has many scratches because the "glass" is likely plastic instead. Update 24 Oct 2024: I'm expericing the screen freeze with RUclips app that many have talked about. Looks like I have to use RUclips from the web browser instead.
It does unfortunately.even when watching RUclips,I keep getting the "RUclips is not responding" pop up.and some when I try adjusting the volume,the animation for the volume adjustment lags.i hope they can sort out these bugs with a proper software update or else I'm returning it.
With no pen support, it can't be an iPad Mini. I wish one company would release an affordable 8-inch tablet with pen support. Samsung has one, the Tab Active 5, but they market that to the business worker, and charge a premium for it.
@@eddyevodius It doesn't appear to support an active stylus from the limited information I have been able to find. Additionally, I haven't been able to find it sold anywhere in the US.
@@ajwalker4416it supports USI protocol, so even if you can’t find a Lenovo pen, (the Lenovo pen 2 should work on it), so not limited on choice. Anyway, Teoh does a review on it so check it out. It seems like a good iPad mini alternative and with 8gen 1 processor it’s plenty powerful
Thanks for the review! Did you check LDAC audio codec support via Bluetooth? The direct predecessor "iPlay 60 Mini Pro" did feature LDAC fortunately, while previous (50 series) models not. But I'm uncertain since this a different (Snapdragon) platform. - SBC codec only would be an absolute dealbreaker to me.
@@teohontech7141 Thanks! But truely sad to hear about! I always wonder if they actually care about small details like that when developing and releasing new products. - Or if that's a matter of contingency, more or less.
Do you think the new iPad mini that is rumoured to get the (yet another) new Apple Pencil will be something you might review in the future for notetaking and artists sketching on-the-go? Also from what you've seen so far, does the new pencil actually add anything worth upgrading for?
It's unlikely for the new iPad mini to get the new Apple Pencil 3. As for the pen features, if you are not sure, chances are you won't need those features. I personally don't use any of the new features from the new pen.
Important factors to mention; loading heavy websites such as online market, loading lot of webpage, viewing outside. Any problem/lag using latest apps. Responsiveness when switching/opening apps.
Did I hear you right... that the USB C port can transmit VIDEO ? Plus... Other reviews said the TURBO also has CELLULAR 4G connectivity... Can you confirm it with them if the final production units have Cellular capabilities?
There is video output. I’ve tested. Definitely no cellular because the tray does not take nano SIM, unless you are talking about micro SIM cellular cards
Same dude. Cellular, headphone jack and even a 90hz display would make this a good budget tablet but also a great 8 inch tablets. They don't get as much love as they used to anymore and now that everything is getting faster, they don't even get any better. Maybe a new brand of Mini is needed from them, even if slightly higher pricing with the above mentioned specs. I don't know why companies are trying to be an Apple and give me TVs to bring around.
They may make that in the future. This is probably the best they can do now at this price point. And it's just usd 179 or sometimes, usd 149, which to me is already quite attractive
@@teohontech7141 same. For the price it's fair. Though I'll probably get the Pro instead of the Turbo just to get LTE. Weird they skipped on that considering it's supposed to be a portable gaming setup.
great review, however, if I were to choose I'd get an iPad Mini. I depend on my notes app and it's only for iOS and Mac. I feel like must developers who want to make money opt to develop for Apple devices because those users have money to spend on their apps while the Android user expects free apps
I have not used the Samsung A9 so I can’t say much. Looking at the specs, Alldocube will have noticeably better responsiveness due to Snapdragon 6 gen 1 vs Mediatek G99 on the Samsung
@@SoulK37 I'm writing this on a A9: go with the a mini 60 turbo, the responsiveness might be better. Usually I favor Samsung products because she see if all the features of One UI but slowness is a big turn off for me. I used to have the mini 50 before the A9 and the overall UI of Alldocube is good enough (even though it's lacking some features.
Me preocupa que el brillo no se suficiente en exteriores, tiene solo 350 nits cuando hay tablets como la Redmi Pad SE de 8.7" que tiene un brillo hasta 600 nits, me gustaría que la pantalla ya tenga al menos 90hz para que sea más fluida, no pido 120hz, pero al menos con 90hz la experiencia mejora bastante, alguien podria decirme si el brillo de 350 nits es suficiente en exteriores?
BTW I read Alldocube is about to release the Play 70 mini pro globally. This new 70 will be an upgrade over the 60 with Snapdragon 6.1 and Adreno 710, Video Out to connect to bigger screens, 3.5 Jack, bigger battery: thus a better more powerful 8.4 inch tablet! Now big downside: NO LTE!!!! I can’t believe they would release such an apparent great device without LTE!
from your link provided, there are 3 reviews from buyers 2 of them saying this doesn't support L1 widevine and said this is the chinese version and that the model name on box is not mini turbo but mini cube2? can you verify if yours support L1 I just bought one from that link when it was on sale I hope i didnt get duped!!
Hmmm. Now that I see the AliExpress product page clearly, they did not mention Google Play Store nor the ROM (China vs Global). So you may want to cancel and ask the seller first. Mine does have Widevine L1, listed in the app DRM Info that I use to check
@@trowawayaccWhich old mini? iPad or previous gen for this? Tablets like these don't support stylus like Galaxy Tab S or iPads does. It's a cheap option after all.
this would be more interesting with the snapdragon 7 series. You also have to wonder about software and security updates. Might be what you get is what you are stuck with.
I measured download speed of 220Mbps but my paid internet plan only tops out 300 Mbps so I cannot measure the true tablet wifi speed. Anyway, the download speed definitely is and feels faster than previous model
@@teohontech7141 it would be a really cool video if you tested if any wifi 6 dongles work on the tablet in the USB C port. It's not something you can look up, and would be really good to know as people primarily buy this device for game streaming
@@Tech-Nically-Tech SD 6 Gen 1 can support 6E, so let's hope that's what this has; I've heard that 6E is where game streaming starts to have improvements (with wifi 5 and 6 basically having the same performance), and I'd like to use this device to stream PS5 and Xbox X/S.
@@SupaaManix Yes. If you want to turn the screen off, you have to reduce the brightness. You can't just use the power button which will disconnect the video.
@@Jane-zb6lzdo you even know what u are talking about? There no such thing as software gyro, gyro is a hardware stop gaming and do some research atleast what a joke
What the OP is probably referring to is whether or not the device has a physical rotation vector sensor (most modern games are using that instead of reading directly from the gyro HW), or is it being implemented as a virtual sensor via Sensor Fusion in the android framework ( a algorithm based sensor that uses Accel, mag, and gyro to infer what the rotation vector would have been. Look up Sensor fusion in the android developer docs if you want to know more ). The product page on their website makes a effort to point out the "advance gyro capabilities" of the device for gaming, so to the OP's question, yes. This probably does have dedicated hardware for gyro centric gaming. You can not expect every user to be technical. Let's maybe educate and try to be helpful instead of berating them.....
I rarely ever run benchmarks. I care more about actual real world experience. People can read benchmarks from the company website Eg 5000 mah battery capacity is a number. But you can get good or lousy battery life. Eg 8GB RAM can get you good or lousy performance depending on what you do.

There are many good notes app on Android too, but there's no active pen support for this for writing. iPad mini is USD 499 for 64GB storage.
Do you think there will be updates to support wifi 6? I keep hearing that the firmware is less stable than the 60 mini pro.
Seems stable enough to me. I am still using this. RUclips app has started to freeze and won’t work with touch, but a recent firmware fixed that.
