so today I'm going to have a look at a
budget tablet a value offering from cube
this is the iPlay 10 so let's got a
1080p screen ten point six inches runs
Android six and I believe it is
basically a stock rom on their, 32
gigabytes of storage, two gigabytes of
RAM you can see from the packaging that
this one I picked up from banggood this
is their typical repacked box that they
use made out of polystyrene so it doesn't
get any damaged. So processor wise it's a
mediatek quad-core mtk 8163 with a
maximum turbo of 1.3 gigahertz and
that's a Mali T720 GPU that's got on
there so really that's not going to be a
powerhouse of a thing but it's selling
now for around $99 USD so it's a cheap
tablet. So the battery on this is a six
thousand milliamp hours and okay we do
have a charger they've thrown in an EU
one which is good and it also has
wireless in I think five gigahertz with
dual band but I doubt it will be
wireless AC so just a few instruction
things on there I play manual and
quality control check pass there that's
always good to see so this will be 5
volts 2 amps yes it is very standard so
your mobile phone charger will be able
to charge this and there is a micro USB
to cable there
so it looks actually a lot like the cube
mixed plus the white front on it maybe
it is the same 1080p screen a highly
data because that's the old surface to
pro screen that 10.6 inch 1080p one so
at 604 grams and it's just under 10
millimeters thick so for the price that
bill quality feels good it's solid
there's no real flex oh I can't hear any
creaks where the rear is meeting up with
the front plastic of it so at the top
there there is a VGA camera so that's
only 480 P and they put a 2 megapixel
one on the rear which I would rather
have on the front so this backing here
that's made out of an alloy and along
the top and the rest of it the frame is
made out of plastic the buttons along
the top here these are made out of metal
it feels like two men have got a
reasonable feel to them they don't feel
loose so overall good so far
on the right side of the tablet we've
got two stereo speakers so we're not
going to have any decent stereo
separation here because they're all
coming out of the right side and judging
by the looks of it I doubt they're going
to sound that good but I'll test them
out in just a minute and on the bottom
there is no Pogo port so there is no
keyboard dock for this didn't expect it
at around 100 us you can't really so
what about ports are located on the top
left and a little surprise here there's
DC in for charging micro USB 2 for
charging and data of course and micro SD
card slot and even micro HDMI out which
is good to see in this price range and a
3.5 millimeter headphone jack time to
power it up I hope there's some battery
in here and looks like there is
starting up now it took a little while
it did proximately 40 30 seconds so not
incredibly fast there okay and yeah we
do have stock Android
I can see one bloatware application
that's cubes home first I want to just
check out what exact version we have
here so Android version 6.0 the security
patches during the first from last year
which isn't brilliant and have a look at
storage see what kind of free available
space we get okay so you're getting
about twenty five gigabytes there and of
course we do have that micro SD card
slot which is great there now first
impressions of the screen it doesn't
actually look to be a bad panel of
course yeah there's massive bezels on
here and it's not fully laminated and I
just wanted to see also to that
well someone looks like they've gone
through tested some things here that
probably the factory you can see the
view sound recorder they've got into the
file manager and gallery they have run
something it looks like there are some
demo files here just the typical things
here to show off that screen now
normally this price range and value
entry level tablet would normally have a
720p screen on there so getting a 1080p
one isn't bad at all and so far of
course these images are extra vibrant to
make it look even better than a probably
real closer look at the gap we get
between the touch digitizer glass which
by the way is crystal clear which is
good to see and then the IPS panel below
you can see the gap I would estimate to
be around 1.5 or one millimeter it's
quite obvious as you can see there if I
touch the screen you can see there is a
gap there of course so we have the
screen on maximum brightness it came out
of the box like this if I tweak it down
you can see just how dull it will get
hmm it's not the dullest there but that
should be OK for nighttime use with
burning out your retinas and you can see
the lower applications we have on there
so there are approximately what are we
looking at okay FM radio is actually on
there which is another bonus to have
hardware FM radio we've got three that I
can see and they should be able to be
uninstalled hopefully I can just go and
trash that and install the app I do
believe we can normally with cube roms
you can get rid of all of that bloat
where they put on there I'm connected up
to the Internet now I'm going to check to
see if there are any wireless updates, well
I already have actually there aren't a
system is currently up to date so I
don't think we're ever going to see a
patch and I highly doubt it that this
will suddenly be updated to Android
seven not in this price range if you're
wondering where the microphone is if it
has one it's located right here at that
tiny little gap there to let sound in so
looking at the camera very briefly here
you can see that actually the view
finders doing all right here it's not
lagging shutter rate seems alright got
bright studio lights on of course at the
moment the front-facing camera well VGA
what can you expect
it looks quite bad and a little leggy
too there so your mobile phone will
definitely take a much better image than
this brief look at the default browser
performance so I haven't installed
Chrome here you can see that is really
laggy
well my website is very image heavy as
you can see but even so I did expect
that to be a little bit faster and
smoother but I guess we can't speak too
much from this chipset but basic kind of
things like that I think it's going to
be right let's see how it loads in this
first web page so that was quite quick
this doesn't have as many images on it
it does have an embedded YouTube video
so hopefully that's going to load in
okay didn't seem to be too bad to turn
those speakers up to 100% and we'll have
a listen to how it sounds
I decided then to do I think was around
to the role of the gaming yes to a
thirty minute
gaming non-stop on it just so the
speakers don't sound too bad that was
playing that at the moment it's in HD
but I did see a few little stutters
there you could pick up on that
hopefully it just wasn't quite 100%
fluid and smooth so it is placed 128
gigabyte Samsung a micro SD card in here
and it was detected and works fine as
you can see it can be used because it's
Android 6 as the portable storage or you
can even use that as the internal
storage for the whole tablet
I just ran and - - and you can see yes a
very low score as I'd expect from an old
quad-core MediaTek chipset you can see
the lowest part there is the 3d
performance so I will chest out a game
just one to see how it does perform at
gaming so this is modern combat 5 and as
expected it is running quite slow quite
laggy so this is not really a tablet I
would want to be gaming on I mean sure
you can play games but it looks to me
like it's dipping down to about 15 or 10
frames per second at time
making gameplay a little difficult
aiming moving around while yeah that is
slow so I thought it wouldn't support
GPS and it turns out I was correct here
so no GPS to put on those ones you can't
use it as a navigation tool or inside a
car as a dash mount or anything like
that all right so that's all I'm going
to spend on the cube I plate in here I
filled it for the price you're getting a
very good build quality a really nice
1080p panel it's very vibrant it's
accurate to touch and it is covered with
glass not plastic okay it's non
laminated but you kind of expect that
the ROM it's light you can uninstall'
that bloatware that was on there there's
about three applications I think it was
very easy to remove those so the real
problem with this tablet is their
performance so if you're a gamer you
want to play the latest greatest and
newest Android games then really I would
not even attempt it on this tablet
because as you can see the performance
modern combat 5 was just far too slow to
be enjoyable frustrating at times other
titles that are older I think will be
playable on this tablet and if you just
want to do light tasks like ebooks and
internet browsing sure it's going to be
OK for that so it's more of a tablet I
feel for someone that just wants
basically light tasks and perhaps
someone's introduction to Android
tablets for example you've got a six
year old child that wants their first
tablet and they're young they can easily
drop it and you feel well I don't want
to spend a lot of money so I'm just
going to give them something cheap to
start out with see if they like it so it
will be good for watching movies and
things like that thanks a lot for
watching this review here and I do hope
to see you back in the channel soon bye
for now
