Yes I'm finally back taking a look at more affordable tablets and this particular model
here from Teclast is their t50 so they've made some improvements compared to previous models
we finally have a wide Vine level one cert we've got eight gigabytes of RAM with this particular
model here the t50 and 128 gigabytes of ufs 2.1 storage which is rather quick not only
that we get 4G support but it's dual SIM LTE band 20 GPS is on board and even FM radio with
a hardware tuner if you plug in a 3.5 millimeter to type c adapter that is yes it does not have a
3.5 millimeter headphone jack unfortunately now the screen is 11 inches 1920 by 1200 I've seen a
lot of this particular screen model from Boe it does have a maximum brightness of 350 nits it's
running Android 12 and has a 7500 milliamp hour battery which is good for around about about 9 to
10 hours and 18 watt quick charging and what's powering it all is the unisock t616 it is a 12
nanometer octa-core chipset inside the box of the ticklast t50 you will find a warranty card
we have a user manual charger 20 watts is the maximum output but the maximum charging rate
is 18 Watts type c to type c cable and then a SIM tray tool now that SIM tray will take
two Nano Sims and it will also take a Micro SD card so yes we have Micro SD card support
the t50 weighs 520 grams and it is 7.8 millimeters thick we've got this matte painted metal unibody
which looks rather nice there's a bit of plastic at the top this strip here is for the 4G antennas
Bluetooth 5 and our Wi-Fi 20 megapixel Sony camera on the rear that can take some okay photos
but you'll probably use your mobile phone will take much better photos than this tablet would
it does have a 8 megapixel camera here at the front and a pre-applied
screen protector we do need to remove the first layer which I'll do now of course
two loudspeakers down the bottom and another two at the top I will give you a sample of them later
on in this video so it is one of those Sim trays that you have to give up on the micro SD card if
you wanted to use two sims but I think most people would probably just put one 4G sim into this and
then you can use your micro SD as you can see there the type C Port here is USB 2 speeds for
data transfers we've got 128 gigabytes on board ufs 2.1 storage and it is 18 Watts quick charge
the volume up and down button and power button they do feel like they are made out of metal
then I'll display it is IPS 350 nits maximum brightness and the resolution is 1920 by 1200.
now I did read somewhere on the press material that it stated 120 hertz but I see no refresh rate
options it's currently at 60 hertz so just go into Display Tester and when I show you the information
here you will see that under info 59 Hertz so it's basically a 60 hertz panel not 120 hertz
for a 60hz panel not bad the brightness does seem to be adequate using it indoors I've got it turned
right down it does have an ambient light sensor so it can automatically scale but I've got it set
to manual at the moment and the full brightness mode here it's pretty powerful and I don't think
really anyone's going to have any issues using this indoors at least so the performance of touch
here the touch response seems to be just fine I'm not really having any issues with it and I'll just
go through a couple of color tests here so it's a display that I would not rate as being amazing
but I would not say to bad display either for IPs it's pretty good the blacks are looking quite deep
here as you can see even though it's stating green colors that is in fact black that's our White's
right there there's a little bit of light leakage around the edges and yes it is optically bonded so
it's a fully laminated display now the UI here is pretty much stock Android 12. um you're not
forced to have some things like the widgets down below you can adjust those you can see that they
remain there okay there's a bit of lag just then as you saw we have our apps draw but this widget
is forced I can't find any way to actually get rid of the Google search bar there at the top
which I don't think is too much of a hindrance or annoyance but I would like to be able to fully
customize it of course you could put Apex or Nova launch or whatever your own custom third-party
launcher on this if you want to do so so General performance pretty good the touch response is good
and really no complaints considering the price point it's a good screen good touch response
and we've got the eight gigabytes of RAM UI does seem to be quite fluid here no real issues with
it settings menu doesn't have any lag and I have already had a firmware update they do have their
own over-the-air update system but bear in mind it will probably be on Android 12 forever that's what
happens with these brands if you have a Keen Eye you would have noticed there is no 3.5 millimeter
headphone jack but there is this on board FM radio so if you do plug in a 3.5 millimeter type
c adapter it then acts as the aerial and you've got this which is quite a rarity nowadays we don't
see FM tune as Hardware ones on board but with this particular chipset the T6 16 that's a unisop
chipset with its eight cores we do have that we've got the 4G support LTE band 20 hopefully you can
just see at the top here the yes I am getting some signal here and 4G I find to be working fine the
data rates aren't super fast but they are adequate enough I think for most people's kind of use there
with it so there are a couple other things I wanted to run through with this particular tablet
here and I'll just show you that when you first get it there really is no bloatware um nothing
really you could say is bloat here which is great and this is something that most of these brands do
do like Tech last because it's really like a stock ROM they're using Android 12 and here we have the
system update so this was the update I did get it was rather small only 30 megabytes but you
can see there were some optimizations some tweaks there and some bug fixes so this is good that they
are doing this but the only thing is that it will probably be stuck I don't ever see this getting a
major update so they will push out their little fixes but you're not going to see like an update
to Android 13 unfortunately so free available space you're looking about 118 gigabytes but
do bear in mind you can add a Micro SD card and expand upon the storage another great option so
it's a even though it's a affordable tablet here it is giving us quite a bit in terms of features
having microSD card support GPS right here on board um so it's not an amazing GPS because
it did take a while to get a lock and I noticed the accuracy will be around about five to seven
but again it's a good option to have you could use this for navigation maybe you're a booty
you've got those options um which is something a lot of other tablets at this price point do lack
now sadly it does not have a hardware Compass because it's always pointing uh at East there
so I don't know what's going on I just don't think it has that incorporated into it it's
dismissing there so the performance of that t616 the unisoc chipset is rather low low end you can
see that the GPU score is the weakness it does not have a very powerful GPU and I'll get onto gaming
soon in this review so if you're ever buying this for someone that they want to play like pubg with
amazing frame rates or gen chin impact it might not really be for the tablet for that but for
General kind of light tablet use it is good now they do have on board with this ufs 2.1 storage
which is not emmc which is a lot slower so we get actually reasonably good speeds look at
this nearing almost a thousand for the sequential reads and and over 700 for the rights and then the
random reads are excellent this is very good great speeds for storage out of an affordable tablet I
wasn't actually expecting it to be that good now this is something new with tech glass it's been
a while since I've reviewed some of their tablets they do have this which is our wide Vine security
level one cert now it should be working with Netflix in full HD unfortunately you can see with
Netflix for me that it's still not acknowledging the wide find level one cert and reports it as
a level three and I only get standard definition playback which kind of looks terrible for ATP but
the good news is I have tested out Amazon Prime video that's NHD running on full HD and it seems
to acknowledge it there that Amazon at least have um pulled through with the full HD footage but not
Netflix I believe it will take time and eventually Netflix will be able to update and confirm this
one as Yes actually having a proper wide Vine level one cert now the battery life is very
very good another strength of this particular tablet here 7 500 milliamp hours isn't what
I would call a really large battery capacity but because it's such a low end chip the IPS
panel uh the brightness tops out at 350 nits it actually goes and goes and goes and goes so you
can get around about nine to ten hours of screen on time which is great the charge time you'll see
here is a little slow so it took me well that's my first screenshot here we go it stopped at 94
for some reason and it took 142 minutes but you're looking at to fully charge to get to 100 about two
and a half hours so it's not a strength it's one of the downsides of this tablet it's quite slow
to charge even at 18 Watts apparent you know quick charge which really nowadays is not quick charging
so the tablet is ideal for things like this this is a large PDF file and it's good as a PDF reader
now the performance is not going to be very quick or the fastest you have seen out there but it's
adequate enough for most people's reading Paces of course you can see as I go through the pages
here that's decent now double tapping will zoom in here and I can put on the black and white mode too
as well with this and we've got all those options too that I'll get into a little more too with the
settings that if you wanted to you can adjust the color balance so you go up into display right here
and good to see this so the Adaptive brightness is there we've got dark mode if you want that you can
force it on or set it to a schedule eye Comfort that's getting rid of the blue light a little bit
and then colors and contrast so you can jump in there I've just kept it on the standard which is
automatic uh contrast but standard is actually selected there so I mean the default there
obviously that is all on standard so back and to there you can see swapping over multitasking then
little little tiny bit of lag it's not perfect the performance and of course this could be used
in portrait mode if you don't like using it in landscape you can hold it up like this and again
look at that text nice and sharp good enough for reading and then ebooks right now in Google
playbooks find good performance here and you can see the text looks pretty decent quite sharp good
enough for reading and holding it in portrait and then gaming performance testing out one of
the most demanding games here gen Chan impact it runs all right you can see now the frame rate is
acceptable but in the beginning there are quite a few lags and stutters until it starts to really
cash things in I believe that the eight gigabytes of RAM is helping out here but the weakness is
definitely the GPU it's not extremely powerful it's very low end as we saw from the antutu score
but at least you can play something like gen chain impact which is super demanding
just don't expect it to always be 100 fluid and smooth because you will notice a few lags
you can see when I look around like now that's a little bit choppy but it still is playable just
if you've got some 3.5 millimeter headphones you want to use like these ones here for example
then you're going to need this which is a 3.5 millimeter to type c adapter the other good thing
about this tablet is this we have the phone mode so you can get text messages you can place calls
as well you've got your dialer your contacts in there all of that all right so you can use that
you can place calls and this is saying that most tablets don't have and even some that do
have data like 4G support will block the phone function but we've got it here so you can use
it just like a phone but I do recommend again using that the type C adapter because it will
go through the loudspeakers if you handle calls on this without having a headset connected up so the
four speakers we've got two at the bottom here and here and then till the top they're pretty good I
like the location of them because when you are for example holding a tablet like this gaming you're
not blocking those speakers so the sample I'll play you now it's 100 volume it doesn't distort
it's very loud there's a hint of bass but hardly any only a tiny little bit the mids and Highs are
certainly there the okay sounding speakers but what I like about them is the volume very good
thank you and here is video just to give you a sample of what it's like if you say calling
someone with Skype or using Whatsapp video calls it's only 720p this front facing camera it looks
okay the quality but like I mentioned before with the cameras it would be a lot better your
mobile phone than what we do get with the tick last t50 here but at least it's built in and
we've got this option it's nice don't get me wrong this now is a sample of the rear camera
which can shoot in 1080P 30 frames per second it does not have any electronic image stabilization
it's there if you need it but I don't see anyone using this camera and here are a couple of camera
samples so it tends to overexpose this photo of a yellow flower and this photo here of my cat you
can see uh not amazing quality at all so that's why I say you'd be using your mobile phone anyway
not just tablets cameras so there we go the teclas t50 is a tablet that for its price point does
offer a lot the Dual foursome support GPS LTE band 20. we've got four very loud speakers FM radio and
okay it doesn't have a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack that's one of the downsides to it another is
the gaming performance is not amazing as you saw from genshin Impact that it will drop frames it's
a little bit laggy especially at the start but it Smooths out the frame rate later on at least UI
performance is good we've got a wide Vine level one cert but Netflix doesn't want to recognize
it at least not yet hopefully that will change but great to see that Tech last has taken a step
forward here improved those speakers they've given us that wide Vine level one cert so Amazon Prime
video is in full HD at least in other streaming services should be two the eight gigabytes of
RAM on board is great to see at this price point and 128 gigabytes of quite quick ufs 2.1 storage
so no more emmc 5-speed or 4.1 or something no it's ufs 2.1 and up to almost sequential reads
of a thousand megabytes it's very decent out of a unit like this so they're heading in the right
direction the screen fully laminated 150 nits Max brightness is perfect for indoor use it's
fine Outdoors you may struggle a little bit if you wanted to use that GPS so I think it's a decent
offering from them and I hope they continue along this path now I'd love to review more of these
affordable tablets and I know a lot of you have been asking me to review more but it's just all
really dependent on what these companies will send out to me so I do think tech class for sending me
this review unit right here so I could cover it hope to see you in the next one bye for now
