Hi Chris here back with android's best budget tablet it is the Alldocube iPlay 40 pro version
now this is an update to it and what it really is is just some very minor changes so instead
of android 10 it now has android 11 and the storage capacity has doubled from 128 gigabytes
to now 256 gigabytes it has a 10.4 inch fully laminated screen this is an ips screen
it has a slim and light build to it it is a very good tablet for the price it's going to be selling
for which will be around 200 us dollars it really cannot be beat so the best has just got slightly
better as you'll see in this updated you could say re-review here so what do we get with the iplay40
pro here so the tablet has a pre-applied screen protector there is a user guide in the box now
our charger this is the euro charger here only 10 watts so 5 volts 2 amps very slow to charge
this it takes around 3 hours and a type c to type a cable so the build is exactly the same as the
iplay 40 but this is the pro and what has changed just to mention at the start that we now have
larger storage capacity and android 11. that is exactly it so this is a bit of a re-review here
of this tablet so the bezels around the outside they're not too bad they're not as big as what
we've seen on other ones they're relatively slim fully laminated screen here the resolution is 2000
by 1200 it's an ips panel get more onto that screen soon but just cover the build here
up the top we have a 5 megapixel camera now here's a sample of what you can expect
out of the cameras on this particular model they're not great so from this five megapixel
front-facing camera nothing amazing here just hd quality so 720p with this one
although we do get 1080p on the rear your mobile phone will take much better photos and video than
what this tablet offers so i don't think people will be buying it for the cameras however this
camera can be used for your whatsapp video calls the skype and all those other instant messaging
video apps on the left here we have a type c port does not support video out
there is no 3.5 millimeter headphone jack which is definitely sorely missed on a tablet like this
two loudspeakers this side another two this side i'll give you a sample now what they sound like
overall they are loud they do sound quite good especially for a budget tablet in
this price range they're normally terrible speakers these ones aren't and then the back
of the tablet this is plastic it is a nice material they've gone with we've got an led
flash and an 8 megapixel camera on the rear and then the weight of this 10.4 inch tablet
not bad 447 grams and as mentioned the thickness is about eight millimeters iPlay 40 and the iPlay
40 pro they both have a very good screen in it for the price tag there's really no complaints
for 200 us dollars you cannot really get a better screen than this one so it's fully laminated
2000 by 1200 is the resolution it's a sharp looking screen and when you take a look at
black images they're not super black but they're not too bad for an ips now there's a little tiny
bit of darker pixels just around the edges but at normal viewing distances you really don't see it
and the maximum brightness in this one is excellent 540 nits and the one glass solution
fully laminated means it does look good so that was just me turning the brightness way down
there and that's it up at the maximum setting so on the lower settings with the brightness
it doesn't flick it either which is really good so gestures triggering them not a problem that seems
to be working fine and under settings for the display we have lots of options that i like to see
so you can see we've got our dark mode ikea mode adaptive brightness it does actually have
an ambient light sensor and this right here which is our color options which i really like to see so
we can adjust this to our own personal preference and the white balance so it's a very good screen
again for the price now just like the previous ip40 that now the pro model has the same stock rom
to it there's only a difference of the fact that now instead of android 10 it's android 11 which
is great and the stock launcher great i mean well it's bloat free there's a couple of little quicks
and things i don't like about it i don't like the google search widget down the bottom here the fact
that we cannot actually get rid of it so you want to try and get rid of that widget there i wanted
to hold down and get rid of it no it's simply not possible to do that that's the only thing but you
put nova launcher on this and away you go you can customize that a lot better than this launcher the
main thing is it's lightweight now we have plenty of ram free with this particular model here which
is good we do have eight gigabytes and the storage now 256 gigabytes it's not particularly fast
storage i'll get onto that soon but plenty of free space we have the micro sd card support so
with this chip set just to quickly show you too as well that it's not exactly a powerhouse of a chip
this one you see is the uni sock it's the tiger 618 that i've reviewed before and for the price
point it's actually not a bad chip it can game a little can do everything a little but it won't be
excelling when it comes to speed now for sensors on board not a lot at all you can see we've got an
accelerometer but there's no gyro and there is gps on board with this but there is no compass
okay with that one and the cpu just a few little details on it so it's an eight core octa-core
there the maximum turbo is two gigahertz but have a look now at just a few performance figures and
things that i'll pull through just bring this up on the device here so this is the gps performance
it takes a long time to get a lock but eventually it does that's the main thing but no compass is a
little sad there but still good to have on board wireless performance is actually really good
for the spec okay the speeds aren't amazing but at my lowest point where i test downstairs it's
still getting a very good speed it still offers good signal strength and that's what we want
4g works well with this as well so this is the con one of them wide volume level three cert not
level one so that means netflix amazon prime video disney plus all in standard definition
unfortunately and i don't believe there's going to be a fix for this at all so here you can see
that yeah it's not a performance monster not for 200 us but still not a bad score
so the cpu comes through okay the gpu which is a melee g52 okay performance and i'll get onto
some gaming later on you can actually play demanding games on the lost settings that is
internal storage so not amazing there it's fast enough but the random reads and rights
are a little low but at least we do have 256 gigabytes now with this particular model
so battery life very good here 10 hours and that was running this stress test that stopped at 20
so you could actually get about 11 hours of light use out of this particular tablet which i think is
decent considering it's got a 6 000 milliamp hour battery only so there are system updates that will
come through currently it's all up to date at the time of this video and free available space
so you're going to get around 240 or so just over gigabytes which is not too bad at all and
remember micro sd card support and when you first get it the rom pretty much stock here no bloatware
whatsoever is included which is great and our general performance day-to-day tasks multitasking
it's actually not bad at all it's not the fastest you will ever see swapping over apps but it does
it all okay for light tablet needs i think this one is pretty good it's fine but you can see at
times that it will occasionally show a little bit of lag so let's get on to gaming performance
will it be able to play something really demanding like jen shin impact let's find out
so this performance is surprisingly good so lower settings i set it to 60 frames per second and
clearly at times it's not running at 60 frames per second but hey it's not actually too bad and you
have to again think that this is just two hundred dollars this table and it's able to run a super
demanding game like this is quite impressive but you will get the occasional little lag and stutter
here and that's understandable when running a demanding game like gen shin impact right here
and with pubg you can run the balanced and smooth graphics option at the ultra frame rate as soon
as you go to hd it drops down too high so i will test balanced and ultra and see how it performs
and this performance is good well i've got a bot they're trying to kill me
i managed to knock them down but it's good it's relatively smooth the occasion you get just a
few little lags or might not do come through but overall not too bad so looking down the sights
moving around here it's good it's playable you'll be able to get your kills it's just
not going to be the absolute best in terms of gaming performance here from this tiger octa-core
other things that this tablet is good at is for example pdf files and ebooks this is a large pdf
file and it looks fine on the screen the text looks sharp enough and of course you can change
this over into the blue light filter you can put it into black and white just to help out your
eyes there if you wanted to and the speed of it it seems fine it's not going to be the fastest it's
certainly no ipad but again for the price it's good and then with an e-book it's perfect for
this it's a relatively lightweight tablet even for its size so it's not going to be a problem to use
it for reading ebooks and just what is it like for video streaming services so this is amazon prime
video you can see that in here a little bit choppy now because we don't have the wide vine level one
cert that we need with this that watching anything is just going to be in standard definition
and we do have a little bit of a border top and bottom with this one too as well that you will
notice come through it's not too much of an issue that now vp9 codec hevc is NOTsupported
by this it's part of the rom so you'll be able to play back all of the video files there you throw
it and if you do have any issues with say audio codecs then try vlc player for that okay so all
up this is the tablet to beat for the price fully laminated screen it's ips good brightness 540 nits
great build quality lightweight thin tablet lte support the list just goes on and on what this
has with it micro sd card support and the speed of it isn't too bad stock rom but where are the cons
so the cons remain no 3.5 millimeter headphone jack would have been great on this we do not with
this particular model have quick charging so it's only 10 watts takes around three hours to charge
charge it so it is very very slow there and no widevine level one cert sadly so netflix amazon
prime video is all in standard definition i really hope they can fix that one with the software
update apart from that for your basic tablet needs a little bit of light gaming even though it
doesn't have amazing performance it can play all the titles out there this is it cannot be beat for
the 200 us dollars it is selling for so thank you so much for watching my review here of the revised
iPlay 40 pro from uldu cube i hope to see in the next one please do subscribe for more bye for now
