Pipo RK3288 Tablets: Discussion

[hairydog]

GiffGaff do unlimited data, texts and some calls for £12.50 per month. Cheaper options are available with less data.

Indeed they do, but my experience of GiffGaff has been consistently terrible.

To start with you have to jump through so many hoops to get the APN settings to work. On EE or Three, put the sim in and the settings just happen. With GiffGaff, you can sometimes put them in 20 times before they will "stick".

And then when you do finally get it to work, my experience of the O2 coverage that they use is not good. OK, it doesn't matter that there is no signal in my house (fine in the garden), but it would be nice. The trouble is that GiffGaff / O2 coverage and data speed seems to be consistently less good than the other networks everywhere I go.

I'd love to use GiffGaff: at one time my main phone was with them, until the lost calls got too much to put up with. I like their prices and I like their whole approach. I just don't like their network! And they won't switch, because GiffGaff is 50% owned by O2.

I used the giffgaffapn apk from play store, makes things easy whenever I reflash. For both home and work I find EE and O2 to be pretty much equivalent. Only been using it for a couple of months but am impressed so far.

teclast p90hd

Just received my teclast p90hd yesterday. It is a 8.9 inch, with rk3288, 2560x1600 resolution and lightweight at 445 grams. Find it runs very nicely (antutu 40,000+). Any chance of a rooted ROM for this?

what about battery duration?

Actually it seems realistic to me...

I've never found one that works with JB or KK. All it did was tell me the settings to put in - and having done that dozens of times already, that's not a lot of help. I don't understand why it can't actually put the settings in.

As for coverage, it really does depend where you are. I find O2 terrible, EE OK and Three generally good (though in some parts of Birmingham, Three is really slow despite good signal) It's a while since I tried Vodafone, but it seemed OK when I was using Ovivo. I wish Ovivo were still in business!

only one reaction here

Mhhh I was thinking why there is so little known about this PIPO P1 well it wasnt for sale untill now.

Only one poster on the forum here chanverlao but he/she only posted ones here so is this a trusted source of info ???? he or she never posted on the forum here.

I have send a pm to him/her to help us out with some more details.

Further to that why is he/she one of the few people who have this tablet ????

It came free for sale just now,??????

As you can see more questions than answhers

Wait and see.

Cheers to you all

As of last week...Pipo didn't even have any to test...and Geekbuying has only seen a prototype that wasn't finished yet. Unless that poster was from China, I doubt he/she has one.

I offered to be a tester for Pipo, but the language barrier was a deal breaker for them.

I really like Google Translate...but it's entertaining to read some of the translations I get from the Chinese forums.

I totally agree with you.
Really strange.

On aliexpress many sellers have this P1, no owners seems present on this forum though....

No brand have the display, chassis and sensors of Cube talk 9x and RK3288 cpu? I think that this combination could be the best one...

4 days to zero

Ok maybe Iám the first one.
As from 10 July it is in the store here.

Unfortunately I have not the knowledge as most of you guys , as Iám just a user.

But I took a gamble before as I purchased a Yarvik Xenta tab9-200 some people became crazy about this tablet and finaly they bankrupt.For me it still works pretty good.

Hope for some more details soon.

Why they not accept Randys proposel is strange as they can only benefit from that,but the language barrier is not the main reason these days this people in China are very good educated and speak better their languages than countrys like Spain and France, (ITALY HA HA or the DUTCH )the days that we had to hire Chinese speaking people to deal with them are over I think.
EDIT: Non essere arrabbiato con me, ma quello che ho scherzato Giouncino.
4 days to go.

Cheers to you all

Since friday, on 4pda.ru forum (a have posted the link on this thread already), already 3 people posted that they have received Pipo P1 and even did some benchmarks
At least one of them posted that he has ordered it on 20th of june and it arrived on the 4th of july (via Singapore Post).

Ynt: Pipo P1 and P8 tablets with RK3288

What do you think about mipad that comes with tegra k1 which should be more powerful than rk3288 and Intel baytrail or any other CPU on the market.

Mipad (tegra k1), according to antutu, is about the same as RK3288. For sure it should have much better 3D/2D performance and support for games. Software (the ROM/OS) should be more polished too.

Tegra K1 is powerful but really expensive. Mipad lacks too many sensors in my opinion

Intel BayTrail-T are really good and fast, compatible with windows and x64 too. From some reviews seems they drain too much power even if they are built on 22nm.

MT8392 chip is powerful but with an old CPU architecture (Cortex A7) and old GPU (mali-450). It's rated for decent performance though, and big battery duration.

Allwinner A80 seems really promising, but still no tablet on the market.

If you want performance without compromises go for Intel Baytrail or RK3288 CPU, or Tegra K1 if you have money to spend!
If you want a trade off between performance and battery lasting go for the Mediatek MT8392.

If you do not need a tablet immediately wait to see if Allwinner A80 CPU is good or wait for better maturity of current CPU (mainly RK3288, I think).

Yes k1 is expensive. I think rk and Intel more than enough even mtk for whom wants phone call function is fairly enough for any task but sure with lack of HDMI. Intel seems interesting to have an option win pro and android at the same time. Do you think there will be possibility to run dual OS android and win pro at the same time.
