Bargain China Android Tablets

16.12.11 The Reporter 0 Comments


As we mentioned, we're giving you 12 unadulterated days of Android gadget goodies, as ideas for the 12 days ramping up for Christmas. Today, as promised, we're giving you the 12 Days of Christmas Android Specials, Installment #2: Bargain China Android Tablets.

We've already given you a primer on How To Take Care Of A China-Made WhiteBox Android Device (Or Any Other Mobile Device), so you should be all set on the proper care of a China Android. But before we give you an unbiased review and leads to the Internet's best suppliers of China gadgets, we have to issue this three-point warning:
  • You get what you pay for. A 4,000-peso Android Tablet is no Samsung Galaxy Tab.
  • Remember that IF you take the plunge, ANY China machine will always have defects. So set your expectations accordingly.
  • This is both for learning and entertainment purposes, so if you visited this post, you must have gotten curious about these China Android Tablets in the first place. Feel free to leave this post without feeling pressured to buy a China Android Tablet.
Now that we've laid that down, presenting, these five China Android Tablets that are popular buys on Sulit.com (two featured here, three in links only):

Ken Kho's MID/APad with FM and TV


ROM: 884MB Internal Storage
RAM: 256MB
CPU: WM8650, High-performance CPU, 800MHZ
Android 2.3.1 Gingerbread
WiFi
Expandable Memory via MicroSD, up to 32GB
TV
Radio
1.3MP Front Camera

Three other models from Ken Kho:

Android APad/MID Device from Sulit Seller jo669063:




RAM: 512MB DDR2
CPU: VIA WM8650 processor, 800Mhz
Android 2.2 Froyo
802.11b/g/n WI-FI CERTIFIED network connection
Battery Life: approx. 1-2.5 hours (depending on usage)
Display: 7 inches 16:9 Widescreen 800x480 TFT LCD
Touch control: Full-size RESISTIVE (pressure sensitive) touchscreen operation
Expandable Memory via MicroSD, up to 32GB
Orientation Sensor: Landscape, Portrait
Built-in speakers, digital camera and microphone.
Standard earphone jack.

We chose these particular models because of the seller's reliability, based on user feedback, as well as the product's price point and value for money (Price vs Specs). Also, the APad with TV and Radio from Ken Kho's product lineup is an item that only few China gadget sellers carry. So far, we've spotted only Ken Kho and Kyndapresenta sell this item. We recommend Ken Kho for one particular reason: feedback and longevity as an online seller.

On the other hand, Sulit Seller jo669063 also has a long line of POSITIVE feedback, and his APad model is the lowest-priced in the lot: the most affordable, and yet reliable. Other low-priced listings in Sulit.com.ph have negative feedback on their sellers' profiles, so we'd rather steer you clear of those.


As we mentioned in the three-point list of expectations that we set earlier, a China gadget is NOT a perfect Apple, Blackberry, or even HTC or Samsung machine. Rather, it is expected to be flawed and expected to have glitches. Should you want to persevere in purchasing a China unit for yourself, remember to research, to check for feedback, and ask for other users' experience with the machines.

The bottom line is that this is a risk you're taking. Make sure that you go into the risk considering all the possibilities and being prepared for the worst-case scenario, and make sure you won't blame the seller for the product's defects. Negotiate, ask for the best service and make use of your warranty. But never, never expect perfection.
