So we have seen from the Chinese
manufacturers various different Helio
x20 deca-core Android tablets and now it's
Teclast's turn so what they've done is
their approach is slightly different
they've gone with the Helio
X23 which is just a tweaked version of
that same chipset it's slightly faster
with a 2.3 gigahertz maximum turbo and
it also has a slightly faster GPU clock
so that's going to hopefully aid in
performance because in my experience
with these tablets which all very
similar a gaming performance on very
demanding games hasn't been the greatest
where you can still play them it tends
to be a little bit laggy
so this model has four gigabytes of RAM
64 gigabytes of storage it has wireless
AC and dual Sims in there so the dual
sim support as LTE so you get 4G support
FM radio you can also make voice calls
with it and it does even have GPS so for
about 160 pricetag that this is
currently selling for it does have a lot
on offer the screen is also high
resolution like the others 2560 by 1600
now just be careful with band support
with these tablets because this one here
it has band 1 and 3 which are bands that
commonly used in Europe while in Spain
here I'm not going to have any trouble
so because that 1800 megahertz 4G LTE
but no LTE band 20 and some of the more
common ones so it's not really like a
global LTE modem that they are using
with this particular model here so it's
well packaged up you can see and I can
see already that's got that protective
screen protector on it so put the table
aside for just a second and we'll take a
look at what else is here in the box so
there is an instruction menu in here
that is Chinese but also in English this
some sort of warranty card and it's
right here so quality control check pass
which is good to see that means that
someone has actually check this out and
checked it for faults so inside the
largest white box here we get the power
supply which is rated to 5 volts 2.5
amps so no it's not supporting me or
ticks pump Express and then I'll
charging cable which is USB to microUSB
so this is just USB 2 so we don't have
type C on this one unfortunately the
cable is a quality one it's rather thick
and that'll make sure and ensure that
we're getting net
point five amps going through to it but
it's not very long okay as you can see I
just pulled it out of that white slip
and already I can tell that this is not
a fully laminated pen or now I did have
my doubts with the price of this and
this being fully laminated it was tick
last I think I saw a gearbest they
listed it as OGS which means one glass
solution and clearly it's not now I
estimate that gap between the touch
digitizer glass and then the IPS panel
below to be about two millimeters you
can see it's quite a substantial gap
there hopefully it's not going to be
very distracting so you can see the
frame around the screen is plastic then
it clips into the unibody alloy housing
on the RHIB I've got one speaker grille
right here and then you can see the
volume and power buttons now it looks
like it's made out of metal but of
course for this price range they're
going to have to cut a few corners
somewhere they feel like they're just
like that chrome imitation metal but
they've got a good feel to them and I've
checked them out they don't rattle
around now this little tiny hole here is
a reset button down the bottom is where
you'll find the microphone it's facing
outwards which is good this is tiny
little slit there and that will let the
sound in so on the left-hand side you'll
see the other speaker grille so it does
have stereo speakers which is good and
in this video we'll test their volume of
course and then along the back we have
the teclast logo with a five megapixel
autofocus camera that will not have very
good quality I can guess that already so
this top portion is all plastic for the
4G wireless and Bluetooth reception
there and even GPS because this does
have GPSS model so we need to remove
this plastic on the back and it is
actually really hard to first get off it
clips in there really well you see we've
got that USB micro USB port
3.5 millimeter headphone jack with
microphone support and I managed to get
that off so I've already put my summon
here ready for when I power this on for
the first time it takes two micro Sims
and there's a space there for your micro
SD card up to a hundred and twenty eight
gigabytes they claim and I shall just
check the weight of it like I do with
all of my videos it comes in at 601
grams so it's not super light but for a
10
point one inch with the middle build I
feel that's okay it's reasonable and
then the thickness of it is nine point
eight millimeters so it's not the
slimmest tablet here and that is
probably because of the non laminated
screen so I must give it a class credit
where do that even though this is a
budget tablet I feel the build quality
is good it's solid there's no creaks
there's no flex and nothing really is
moving around so feels solid enough in
hand and I do like the fact that they
have gone with this grey matte coated
paint job on the alloy unibody so I have
removed the screen protector completely
I tried to remove just the first layer
and I ended up lifting up the layer
behind it and I got a few air bubbles on
this so just completely just throwing it
away now just screwed it up so once that
tablet is on the screen is not so
reflective now now I'll show you the
screen in detail in just one minute but
I first wanted to point out here the
stock apps we have so we have FM radio
as well on there and really no bloatware
whatsoever which is really good now this
is running android 8.0 and the security
patch level is August v which is really
recent it's this month so that's great
now there is a wireless update system if
ticklers need to push out any bug fixes
but at the time of this video there are
none at the moment so it's up to date so
our Basil's are very similar to the
other tablets I've looked at they're not
the slimmest at all so top and bottom
bezels are large and even the sides that
is just the way it is with the screen
they're using so the rom performance I
just wanted to comment it's nothing like
the chewy hi9 Pro that I just recently
reviewed with the hey Leo x20 that one
had three gigabytes of RAM and it did
feel quite choppy in the UI but not the
case here it is actually a lot smoother
so going into your settings and things
and scrolling is just so much smoother
and even the animation just to rotate
the screen as well when you do that that
comes through quite smooth so the screen
has a maximum brightness of 200 Lux
which may not seem enough it's certainly
not going to be enough for outdoors with
the non laminated panel about the
indoors I find that it's actually
perfectly fine so for the rest of this
review I will actually be using it at
about approximately 50% which looks good
on camera here
with my current settings when I put it
up to 100 you can see that it's going to
really overpower things now and just
show you again that brightness set down
to zero so at zero this is really good
it's nice and dull good for late night
time use without getting sore eyes
looking at and I wish more manufacturers
would do this because some of them set
them far too bright now the screens
gamma is really good it's almost 2.2
it's about 2.1 you can see when it
blends in with the background gray so
this is good out of the box the screen
whites are maybe a little bit off
they're not actually too bad but the
good thing is that the media tick
tablets have what's called mirror vision
and this allows you to adjust the colors
to your own personal preference so it's
in standard mode you can adjust it to
vivid and then a user mode is when you
get access to everything keys you can go
long and then start to tweak the
sharpness the saturation contrast pretty
much everything you can think of real
world images as well do look good now I
wanted to point out with my unit this
will vary from IPS panel to obs panel
that when it's showing just black you
get some color light leakage just on the
side here but you don't really see it
when you're using the screen like right
now
when you're just playing games or images
but it's actually quite a nice screen
this one it's a sharp panel and the
resolution is 2560 by 1600
so overall good it's just because it's
not fully laminated here we are getting
a lot of reflections which is probably
the only real downside to the screen and
the maximum brightness means that this
will not be good outdoors if you wanted
to use GPS so here's some dark colors
there and there you can see just how
much the glass is reflecting and keeping
on the topic of the screen so when you
take a look at something like an e-book
which I have right now this is just a
Dan Brown's Inferno and you can see very
clear and it does look sharp the ticks
because of the resolution PDF files also
look great on the screen now they're not
going to be the fastest this will never
beat iPad performance the latest iPads
they're just so much better at
processing PDF files especially large
ones here now looking at the Helio x-23
so this has 10 cores and we've got 8 of
the cortex a53 and then two of the much
faster a 72 is which clock right
to 2.3 1 gigahertz so that is I believe
200 megahertz faster than the Jaleo X 20
and the GPU on this one is the Mele t8
80 which isn't a very powerful GPU it's
rather weak the ones you get like the
power VR GPUs on the likes of Tec last
master t10 perform much better
so the m24 G does not have security
level one for Widevine
this is DRM info so what this translates
this jargon means that Netflix you can't
run it and anything but just the
standard definition so no HD no Full HD
with this particular tablet treble
support unfortunately we don't have
access to both the partitions a and B
they've only got just slot a so that
means that we're not gonna be able to
have custom roms on this so easy I don't
know if there's going to be a way around
this this is our and two two scores so
it checks out it's around one hundred
and thousand normally fully hey Leo X 20
and it doesn't really seem to be that
much faster then that particular model
even though it's got two hundred
megahertz more on the top clock speed so
take alas did not skimp on the emmc
while it's not a EMM and C 5 spec this
is four point five point one these
speeches are actually quite decently
good so this is not gonna bottleneck the
system like some of the crappy e mm C's
they're really slow ones we have seen on
some of choice hey Leo X xx tablets
testing out the 4G speeds they're not
too bad here so you get approximately 20
it's all going to depend of course on
your network so it's not really that
relevant but I had no trouble
downloading viewing webpages signal
strength is good why does signal
strength is well no problems voice calls
yes I have made a voice call with this
quality is OK I recommend using a
headset it does use the mic on the front
and the loudspeakers so it's not amazing
but it's still great to be able to at
least make voice calls with a tablet
like this especially priced at 160 us
wireless AC speeds they actually check
out to be pretty good
not bad at all so I'm impressed with
these speeds you can't get the full max
out of my fiber line for example just
300 and that's because the wireless AC
here just will not permit there but
stove
chipset it is not bad GPS well not
amazing we don't have a hardware compass
on this one sadly and I did expect this
for the price your accuracy is going to
hover around three to four meters
sometimes up to five and six it'll see a
lot of satellites but it doesn't tend to
lock on to them media tix GPS for me
just does not seem to ever be as good as
quail comms the other major chip
manufacturer so video streaming this is
YouTube right here and what I'm testing
out is 1440p quality it doesn't drop any
frames it runs well you can see quality
1440p keeps up with it the same with
Amazon Prime no problems general
performance of the tablet is reasonable
now notice that when you go into split
screen for example in my testing that
you do notice a performance hit now
those happens with the other Helier x20
tablets and some of the other media tech
ones - they're like the Hicks are calls
they will slow down a little and it
really depends on what you're doing but
going through selecting things the UI it
all tends to be pretty fast it's not the
fastest smoothest tablet out there that
you will use with Android but it will
tell you one thing though that this out
of the MIDI tech tablets I have tested
it does seem to be one of the smoother
ones but it's still recommend if you can
go for something like tech glass of
Master t10 or the Qualcomm powered
snapdragon 660 me paired four that's
probably one of the fastest smoother
Android tablets that I have reviewed but
overall for most people I feel it's
going to be good
now one area of weakness of these
tablets is normally the speakers so
we've got a positive here that we've got
two side firing speakers as I showed you
the start of the videos are one here on
the other side now they sound okay
there's not a huge amount of base they
lack a little bit in volume but overall
I feel they're decent it depends on the
content that you're watching so if the
content starts off to be loud like a
game anyway then they'll be perfectly
fine but some movies you will find it a
little lacking
but it will give you sample of it now
and moving on to battery life so these
are estimates here so I've used to
screen for one hour and I lost or just
over one hour actually 16% now it's
giving me estimates of about seven hours
so this is where the screen set to 50%
mixed kind of use now if your be gonna
be gaming on this expect about five
hours of battery life or your screen
brightness is a lot of high of course
it's going to lower down now charge
times when I got at this head like no
battery in it whatsoever so plugged it
in and one hour and thirty minutes later
I was up to 85% battery so it's gonna be
just under two hours to fully charge it
and on to a gaming performance so this
title is lineage to revolutions it's on
the low settings high frame rate and
it's perfectly fine playable the gamers
definitely playable but it is certainly
not the fastest you will see this game
running there is a little bit of lag
there's a little bit of stutter the
frame rate does dip down now and then
but it is overall still playable which
is the main thing and here we are in pub
G so the game is playable but the frame
rate is not perfect this is on the
medium framerate last smooth visual
graphics setting and if it's someone
that was just shooting at me you can see
when you zoom in that framerate does
actually dip off quite a bit making a
little bit difficult here to aim I
really do need to get a little bit
closer with this guy okay he's shooting
back at me see if I can at least get one
kill alright so one kill that is
possible so this performance isn't ideal
but it is performing faster than the
chewy hi9 Pro that I checked out so that
one has only the three gigabytes of RAM
and it also has just the H sorry the
heli oh X 20 only so slightly slow clock
rate but it's not really making
to a difference here because the GPU is
the overall weakness would this chip sit
when it comes to gaming so here is a
sample of the front-facing camera turned
off my powerful studio lights have just
got a normal room light on and you can
see the quality is pretty average it's a
little blurry
it isn't 1080p at least and the sound
quality from the front-facing mic is
okay so not amazing quality here but you
will be able to use it for voice chat
apps like Skype and as you can see from
the sample the rear camera is horrendous
really I mean this look at this quality
it is disgusting but I don't imagine
that anyone's actually gonna be
recording video with the rear camera on
this you use your mobile phone and you
get 20 times better quality than this
focuses all over the place the frame
rate isn't great there's a lot of if you
find a leg as well and just look at that
exposure and the sharpness of the video
so there we go that is the tick last m24
GS so overall for what you're getting on
the price you get actually quite a lot
you've got FM radio you've got GPS you
can make voice calls dual sim support
and micro SD cards are put on there so
what this is lacking okay it doesn't
have an ambient light sensor it does not
have micro HDMI out which would be
really nice to have on these tablets
they seem to be dropping it lately
performance seems to be reasonably good
as long as you don't do any really heavy
multitasking gaming performance as you
just saw with the game so I was testing
out so really demanding games like pub G
are gonna be a little bit laggy they're
still playable but it could be a little
bit frustrating at times when there's a
lot going on the screen if you get a
little bit smoke and things like that
that's not ideal but lighting titles
other games that they will actually run
fine so this for example shadow fight 3
I have it on here but it didn't show it
that actually runs perfectly fine that
game is playable so the camera is as
expected and disappointing the screen it
does look nice but it's not fully
laminated so this is probably gonna be a
con for some people it actually doesn't
bother me as much as I thought it would
once you're using it it's really
perfectly fine so the maximum brightness
tops out about 200 Lux which is not
ideal it should be brighter
hopefully a firmware
Pech will come through no over-the-air
update and tickle a skin just to boost
that brightness a little bit of course
it will come at the cost of the battery
a battery life decent up to about seven
hours depending on what you're doing
it's not the best battery life but I
feel it is okay again considering the
price voice voice core quality no not
really that good
I almost didn't remember to put it on to
the speakerphone so when you accept a
call you have to tap speakerphone if you
don't have a headset plugged in and
there quality of the voice called
hearing that person through those
speakers was just really poor quite
muffled but hey you can do it which is
great GPS there as well
jeebies performance isn't amazing but
again it has GPS on this for this price
range is really good so it is offering a
lot there with the FM radio as well now
we don't have Netflix in full HD so it's
gonna be standard definition but any
other things other things like YouTube
streaming 1440p work well Amazon Prime
when it kicks in to the higher quality
automatically it looks good and no
problems with that either so overall as
a package that build quality is good
there's just a few little things there
like the LTE bands as well we don't have
a huge amount of coverage no ltu band 20
so it is missing a few of those there
but as the package what you're getting
for the price is quite a lot so I feel
it's not a bad tablet and definitely one
of the the better
heli Oh tablets the 4G ones that I have
looked at now if you want something of
its higher quality then do check out my
review of the tick last master t10 and
also the Xiaomi me pad for those two are
still my current favorites but they are
a lot more expensive of course then
there's hundred and sixty dollar tablet
here from tech clast thank you so much
for watching and I do hope to catch you
in the next one bye for now
