14 DAY TRIAL // From the sea of iPad mini clones out there (I reviewed one recently, the E-boda Revo R85) here comes another attempt at distracting customers from the real deal.
Meet the funnily named Pipo UT8 which obviously comes bundling a 7.85-inch IPS display with a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels, as said by Notebook Italia.
As expected the tablet draws power from a Rockchip RK3188 (Cortex A9) quad-core processor accompanied by 2GB of RAM and backed up by 16GB of internal storage (expandable via the microSD card).
The Pipo UT8 offers the whole host of specifications you might expect to see on a clone like this, so it has 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G, GPS and also G-sensor, gyroscope, light sensor and digital compass.
The slate also allows users to place phone calls and is compatible with the WCDMA / HSPA and GSM / GPRS / EDGE networks.
The 4700 mAh battery should provide a decent 7-8 hours life to the slate, better than other budget offering I have written about.
The default operating system is Android 4.2.2 but since a lot of white-box Chinese makers are pushing the Android 4.4 update I wouldn’t be surprise if this tablet receives it as well.
The device will ship for $210 / €162 but its currently available only for pre-order in China.
