I was wondering how many here in LYN that owned RK3066 chipset tablets? (Cube U30GT / Yuandao N101 / Aoson M11)

Previously I was sceptical of China's branded made products, and have never bought China phone especially after hearing so many of it's issue. But this tablet specs and performance caught my eyes. And after reading many reviews I decided to take the plunge and got myself a U30GT.

The standard accessories included in the Cube U30GT are Warranty card, USB cable, OTG cable and power adapter. The specification of the adapter is 12V/2A. The battery of Cube U30GT is consists of two 3600mAh lithium batteries which need high voltage. Therefore, it does not support USB charge on your pc. There are two screen protectors on the tablet, users are expected to remove one and remain the inner layer to protect the display.

As we can see, the design of the Cube is mature and elegant. The metal surrounding of edges leaves a stable and strong impression. The thickness of the tablet is remarkable. The material on the back side is plastic which is smooth and mellow. White color is classic and fashionable.

The IPS display of Cube U30GT comes from HannStar which is also used in Asus F101 and SmartQ T20. The resolution is up to 1280*800. The illumination is up to 350cd/㎡ and the contrast is up to 600:1. Same as other IPS display, the Cube U30GT gets a wider visible angel. The exquisite images and high illumination offers you a very comfortable effect.

Cube U30GT comes with the HDMI output, select the option means that the tablet can support HDMI output, and the resolutions of the video can be configured.

The video rendering on the Cube U30GT is excellent even for the HD videos. There is rarely lag on the video while playing the movies.

Conclusion, I feel this tablet is worth it's price and more. High end tablet and moderate price. The only downside is that right now only have 1 developer that cooking ROM for this tablet. But as more people buying this tablet there would be more developers that would start supporting it, even now a lot user are asking XDA to create a subforum for this tablet.

Anyone here using Rockchip RK3066 chipset tablets?

How do you feel it compare to the like of Galaxy Tab or other branded tablets?

No offence taken. smile.gif

I compared 10.1" and 7" and found 7" too small for me. 10.1" like twice the screen size than 7".

And the 1280*800 screen gives a very detailed picture, tried with HD trailer, damn gooding.

I just got my window n101 few days ago. The performance is really good, graphic is really nice.I bought it mostly for presentation or business use. 10.1" is perfect for presentation.

Very nice. Do give a review after use it for few days.

Thought wanted to get U30GT from ccs, well, suddenly news pop-up shown that yuandao n101 has released from some searches and forum. Directly places an order from aliexpress and awaiting for shipment to arrive right now.

Would like to apologize to @ccs221 for fly kite. Sorry sir.

Apart from that, hmmm, n101 is in pre-order status now. Well, even China online store like taobao don't get them for selling, I guess they are targeting worldwide market thus stocks were sent to aliexpress & pandawill first.

From recent news, n90#2 will having 4.1 JB update soon. Hope they will bring n101 the same good news.
If you were to take 7", I have to agree that new 8gb Nexus 7 worth the bucks. But for the 16gb version, its different story, Ainol Aurora 2 16gb priced @ RM5xx, while Nexus 7 @ RM9xx. If we don't mention about the specifications, its quite a gap for me.

But, 9.7" & 10.1" is in different league, if they could make one and priced it @ RM 1000 for 8gb, it will sells like hot cake. thumbup.gif

Btw, I would like to see China manufacturers stabilize their firmware & OS more than proceeding with quad-core(IMO, quite useless on tablet) when dual-core is more than enough at current situation. I don't think someone render graphic or did conversion with tablet, ermmm, and with the 1gb of RAMs. sweat.gif


Added on July 23, 2012, 1:25 pmMy tab reached @ 12.30pm just now. rclxm9.gif

So fast your tablet arrived already? How many days from order till received? Do give a review.

I think most important is China tablet to have good and quality hardware. Then more people would buy it and more Dev would create custom rom for it.

P/S, typing this using my U30GT while on bed, and much more comfortable than using my Evo 3D. tongue.gif

Window N101. Have been using it for few days. Few things problem i encounter with this tablets are
(i) On 2nd day, when i was charging the tablets, the screen becomes insensitive. there were times like certain parts of the screen was touched by itself (maybe due to the heat from the charging process) blush.gif
(ii) Later, when it is charging, i multitask, the whole screen was frozen. doesn't response to my touch, blink.gif 
I tried to power off (clicking power button), but it needs my permission by touching on the screen "Yes" to turn off. So can't turn off. I have to wait for few days for the battery to finish off then only can turn on again.
(iii) Few days later, the battery is finally depleted. I fully charge the battery, it drains really fast. Even on standby mode, it drains 40%  over 3 hours. rclxub.gif

I don't know whether it is due to firmware problem that could cause all this problems.
*
(i) it was due to faulty charger. already have many complaint about it.

(ii) if not mistaken you can press more than 4 seconds of the power button and it will restart/shutdown

(iii) maybe need to wipe the battery stats data. try use battery calibration to wipe it.

price for the U30GT really fits my budget, but i see so many RMA and defect issues on tabletrepublic and slatedroid

i think i'll hold back first until they sort out the QC issue

Seems most of the issue only on 1st batch, like screen bleeding or wifi signal not strong enough.

But the latest batch seem to have inferior screen. previously is IPS screen, now some say is MVA screen?

Any issue? with that ROM? which model you using H or W?

So far no issue,.been using it from it's release till now. Mine is H model.

QUOTE(andyjyneo @ Sep 7 2012, 10:17 AM)
This tablet looks not bad.
Saw someone in LYN is selling this Cube U30GT, but what's the difference between this Cube and Aoson M11?
Can they use the same ROM and firmware?
I noted that you tag Cube's ROM and firmware in first post.
*
Because my one is Cube U30GT. But Yuandao N101 and Aoson M11 have same CPU & gpu and about the same spec.

Unless Aoson is rebrand from Cube, I don't think can use its rom /firmware. Like Cube can't use Yuandao firmware, vice versa.

Thank you for your explanation.
I also noticed that Aoson M11 is more expensive than Cube U30GT.
I think I'll get Cube since it comes with preloaded JB 4.1 than ICS 4.0 on Aoson M11.

Thanks again.
Will report in once I got the tablet.
*
You getting it from here, locally?
That would be better as you can check if got any manufacturing defect.
Buying online is risky as can't check the product.

Most important is the manufacturer and community support.
Cube have been good by always releasing update. And there's a strong community support.

Yuandao seems slower update than Cube, if not mistaken they still on ICS.

Never checked Aoson, so not sure how well is the support.

how much u buy ut u30GT ??? how about u20GT ??? this got gorilla glass(scractch ressistent).. is it good ?? can upgrade to jellybean too ??


Added on September 8, 2012, 12:49 pm
smartQ tablets is too expensive in china tablet category ..... better take branded android tablets like samsung if wanna took smartQ tablets even their spec is very impressive
*
including shipping RM810

U20GT is letter box 9.7", U30GT is widescreen 10.1". cater for different usage. but U30GT didn't have gorilla glass.

i don't know much about U20GT as when i bought U30GT, U20GT haven't come out. and heard U20GT haven't got JB.

QUOTE(desmondtee88 @ Sep 8 2012, 01:08 PM)
even more than RM500 also expensive .. edy la ... any RM500 below recommended ??? must have RK3066 chip
*
i don't think you can get RK3066 with it's quad core GPU at below RM500. RM500 only can get good spec 7" or lousy spec 9.7"/10.1"

yup, true. take for example like Nexus 7, just after a week of launch there's already custom ROM and many mods. if it is released as 10.1", more expensive RM100-200 than U30GT i also will buy coz got a lot community support.
