Reviews on Cube Talk9X
This Cube Talk9X was released in this May. The price is only 125 euros with 16GB flash memory. Today, Ontablets got one sample, and share our reviews here about this unit.
In fact, Cube Talk9X is not only a tablet, but also one phablet. It can support three different 3G network standard, WCDMA, TD-CDMA and GSM. This is the first octa core phablet with MTK8392 CPU. The screen size is 9.7 inch and resolution is 2048*1536 pixels. The screen has adopted the IGZO technology. Except surfing internet, the unit can also make calls as well. The camera resolution is 8M pixels.
Compared with other similar models in market, this Cube Talk9X has several advantages. First, it can support three different network standard. Now, most octa core phablet in market can only support WCDMA network.
Second, though, they all adopt the MTK8392 octa core chipset. But the frequency of Cube Talk9X is 2.0G, most of others are only 1.4G to 1.7G. The running speed is faster.
Third, it owns one 10000Mah high capacity battery. Others are only 2000Mah to 6000Mah.
Totally, this Cube Talk9X is quite a good unit. Octa core high running speed CPU, adding on the low price, it is really worthy of owning one.
Compete with Mediatek
The day before yesterday, the chipset supplier in China, Nufront, hold a conference and showed its latest quad core CPU for 3G tablet. There are a lot of well known tablets suppliers from China attended this conference. This solution is based on the Nufront Telink7689 quad core CPU, and total cost is only 50 euros.
Speaking of 3G tablets, we will be reminded of Mediatek. From 2013, Mediatek started to move to tablet filed, just within one year, it becomes with top supplier of 3G tablets solution.
In 2014, Mediatek keeps on increasing sales of 3G tablet CPU. Many tablets suppliers in China adopt its CPU for their tablets. Even Marvell and other well known chipset suppliers can not compete with Mediatek in this field.
Nufront is not so well known in this field. But from last year, it started to develop its CPU for 3G tablet. As the demand of 3G tablet is keeping on increasing in this market. Even Intel has to cooperate with Rockchip to expand the market share. As the low price of this Telink 7689 solution, it interests a lot of suppliers here. Even Mediatek has to to face the competition from Nufront.
As news from Ontablets, Nufront will develop a octa core and 4G CPU next year. The cost will also be lower than Mediatek solution. So we believe, from next year, we can see a lot of cheap tablet pc adopting Nufront solution.
This Telink7689 is based on Big.LITTLE framework, the power consumption is very low. Frequency is 1.5GHz. It can support 1080P video playback and dual 13M pixels cameras.
Though in the market, there are a lot of 3G tablets with similar price, but the performance is much lower than this Telink7689.
As till now, we did not get any sample of tablet with this chipset, we can not know its exact performance.
