Pipo P9 Testing/Review

[Triophile]

Last nail in the coffin for my P9 hopes

Oh well.

I bought my first P9 from the **** seller smart-accessories-uk as they had 100% good feedback, and I've had problems buying through manufacturer dealerships and retailers before (Sony being quite bad on a couple of occasions). Here's what transpired:

1) First tablet, headphone and other sockets badly misaligned, so headphone jack had to be forced hard into socket. There's no way the socket was going to last like that without developing some kind of intermittent connection in the longer run, and I bought the tablet to listen to a lot of music, as well as for other stuff.

2) Returned the first tablet, and received a second. This had either a dead pixel or some dust stuck between the digitizer and screen. Returned it.

3) The third one had an intermittent connection in the headphone socket and also went back.

4) The fourth one has not only what is clearly a dead pixel, but a couple of other bits of dust between digitizer and screen for good measure.

Wow, Pipo's quality control is terrible. I mean, I'd read it wasn't great, but four in a row!? I've never had anything that bad before. The tablets all seemed genuine, and ran really nice and fast, so I have no reason to doubt their authenticity, but I for one won't be touching Pipo's products again unless I read a string of posts on how much their QC has improved. Shame, as they're otherwise really nice tablets.

Regards, Jon.

I told that so many times... Been insulted by other pipo users...
I KNOW perfectly how bad quality are pipo products AND THEY have no quality control on repaired items too!

You was so brave and patient for your 4 pipo, if I were in you, on the second I would give up ad buy another product!

Heh, heh :-) Thanks for the sympathetic comments, giouncino :-)

I always like to give companies a chance, even if users' comments aren't always positive, as I know people can sometimes say quite harsh things on the internet. Still, this hasn't gone wonderfully well, though at least smart accessoris have said that they'll refund the cost of my return postages as well as the original cost of the tablet.

Not sure which tablet to buy now :-)

Regards, Jon.

[giouncino]

as I said many times, now there are very good alternatives even cheaper than pipo, with a lot better quality (software and build quality).

this morning I received my P9.
It took a while even I'm being from Portugal and the tablet coming from next door, Spain.
BUt I did asked the shop to test everything before shipping it to me so that I avoid receiving a unit with problems.
Prevention goes a long way and the age teach us this.

As I was leaving home to go to work I did not had time to propert test it.
Basically just turn it on and play a little bit.
Looks quite fast and smooth but the fist thing I noticed was that the screen is very yellowish.
I honestly don't know how come a screen with such resolution is like this. Could it be to enhance the overall colours or reading or something?
Well, in reallity, the type of screen is not as attractive as a very bright one but it causes less eye fatigue for sure.

Looking forward to arrive home and start playing with the boy

BTW anyone can share a download link for the lasted official firmware?
I'm trying to download from Pipo web site but its saying more than 9 hours for 252MB lolololol

I can't even load pan.baidu site. I think my ISP blocks it.
I'll like to download it, also.

I was told that the screen protector makes the white colour yellowish abit so if you want to remove it go ahead but i prefer to protect the screen you will get used to the screen

[Djuganight]

I'm waiting for the cases I ordered to arrive hoping that one of them brings a free screen protector

[Djuganight]

Forget it, the tablet already has a screen protector. I just had to peel the top part. The shop must have installed it as I asked them to test everything before shipping

My wi-fi is simply not good, exactly like 99% of other users for what I can see over the internet.
I have tried offical firmwares, RileyRom and OMA and nothing.
Rarely connects and when it does only stays alive for a couple of minutes.

I have requested the shop to accept the return of this shity tablet.

WHATA MISTAKE BUYING THIS TABLET.
NEVER BUY PIPO SHIT AGAIN AND I IF YOU ARE SMART DON'T EITHER.

PiPO is not shit...i have the m9pro and u1pro they work fine. But the P9 is the best tablet PiPO have ever done (Learned from past mistakes).

The P9 feels better in every aspect and most important it's damn fast!!

Regarding wifi all my three tablets give same wifi signal strength according to wifi analyzer.

They learn with their mistakes with P9????
doesn't seem so, as almost everyone is complaining about wi-fi issues. Better yet, I dind't see a single person who hasn't wi-fi issues with this tablet
