Pipo P9 Testing/Review

[belier]

I am not planning to flash any riley rom`s for now to let randy work out any issues that might arise.

Stock rom is fine fluid and fast! hey did i say the my P9 boots in just 8secs???!?!

btw i am using kernel 3.10.0 #192

Anyone know if it's possible to get old stocks firms from Pipo?

Check battery drain and wifi wake up, when possible.

And yep... Not is that booting is fast. It's really fast being able to use when tuning it on.

M9 Pro needed time after boot for being really usable, as it happens with my M8 Pro.

I mean battery drain will not using it. But imagine that, by now, you are not interested on giving P9 a break.
When going to sleep, if not charging, that I doubt, or when not using it for a long time, check battery level before and after, to see consumption while on deep sleep.

Holy moly the P9 is freaking fast awesomeeeeeee. Just rooted the stock firmware and so far no issues yet. GPS is great display is very clear and the rk3288 is screaming fast. And the best of all no more lag!!!!!! The CPU handles multitasking with ease. Far better than my old m9pro. Best tablet I ever owned. PIPO is the best period

I hope you will never need for a warranty repair, because in this case you will change your mind in a second.
A friend of mine received a pipo repaired last week. Now can be trashed directly, it's not working again.

I would NEVER recommend pipo to anyone...
Absolutely no quality control.
Inside every pipo tablet I've opened is a total mess of tape an awful solderings...It's a miracle they bootup.

Wasted time and money.

Good luck with your tab!

You are too much negative on PiPO tablets. My m9pro is a year old and still running like new even after a 100 rom flashes. I cannot get my hands off my just arrived P9 the experience is very satisfactory and have not yet encountered a single software or hardware problem. The P9 build quality is definitely better than my m9pro. Installing apps and multitasking is smooth as silk. I am proud of PiPO great tablet after all it's their flagship product right now like when the m9pro was. No regrets on my side, 110% satisfaction for me... Almost forgot it feels lighter than the m9pro too despite the larger 8800mah battery

All this after how many days of testing your P9?

Have you ever tested other chinese tablets of today like Teclast iFive and Cube products? No comparison with pipo.

By the way I agree that the P9 is probably the best Pipo product ever produced.
But now there are not as many competitors remained on chinese market with 16:9 tablet.

On 4:3 tablet Pipo is one of the worst brand in the market.

And, after all, I hope you will never need for a warranty support from them: this is totally useless.

I just noticed that the serial number on the box and on the pipo warranty card match fine but the serial number on my p9 is different, it seems the quality control guy packed the wrong tablet in the wrong box but it`s no big deal.

[giouncino]

this is not a real problem: custom rom, opened tablet, wrong serial numbers. All chinese brands do not consider them problems to avoid warranty, the problem is that at least some of them (pipo included) have no a real warranty if you receive a broken tablet after warranty repair!!!!!

I don`t know if it's only me but i can see a slight screen difference in lcd brightness and white colour between my P9 and M9Pro.

The M9Pro has brighter and whiter screen while the P9 has a slightly yellowish color and less brighter than the P9.

I know the M9Pro uses ahva screen while the P9 uses IPS 3rd generation but IMO the m9pro screen is better.

[Djuganight]

Brighter does not mean better. For instance, to read text, it's better to be less brighter due to eye fatigue

[giouncino]

On direct sunlight a brighter display is definitely better, and in any case for internal use you can reduce brightness to reach a confortable use on dark rooms too.
Usually an high maximum display doesn't mean that minimum brigtness is high too.

I don't know if someone else posted this.
Pipo announced that P9 will be the first to be upgraded to Android 5.0

The P9 will run lollipop it's a matter of time, the RK3288 smokes everything very capable SOC

[giouncino]

best SoC of the moment common on chinese tablets:

on 32bit side (from best performer to least):
A80T
RK3288
MT8392


on 64bit side (from best performer to least):
MT8752 (4G support)
Atom 37xx

if someone would like to buy a tablet, I suggest a 64bit capable model (better performances on lollipop, and ready for the future).

NOTE: I have a 32bit capable only tablet...
