Chuwi Vi8 Dual OS_Boot Unboxing and Hands on (TechTablets.com)

**Android Version First Impressions**

The Android version on this dual-booting tablet is quite vanilla, which is great to see. I don't like it when manufacturers add their own heavy-bloated launchers to the system, and it's clear that they've taken a more minimalist approach here.

Upon booting up, we're greeted with a simple Gmail icon, a Gallery app, and a few other basic apps. There's also a "Mx Player" installed, which is likely some Chinese music streaming service. The speaker test reveals a decent sound quality, although it's not as good as the full speaker test I ran on the first version of this tablet.

The store section is quite bare-bones, with only a few apps available for download. This is likely due to the fact that Play Store is not currently supported in China, and the manufacturer needs to test their tablets outside of the country before releasing them with the full suite of Google services.

If you're planning to use this tablet as your primary device, you may find that some of these apps are redundant or unnecessary. However, it's good to see that they've included basic apps like Gmail and Gallery, which should make for a more streamlined experience.

**Benchmarking and Performance**

One of the things I'd like to do is run some benchmarks on this tablet to get a better idea of its performance. I'll be using Geekbench 3 to test its CPU performance, as well as 3DMark and GPU pinch to see how it handles graphics tasks.

Before we dive into the benchmarks, let's take a look at the specs. This tablet is running Android 4.4.4 KitKat, which is an older version of the operating system. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any mention of an upcoming update to Android 5.0 Lollipop, so that may not be available on this device.

**The Build Quality**

Overall, the build quality of this tablet is quite good. The screen is bright and clear, although it's worth noting that it's not as vibrant as some other tablets I've seen. The speakers are decent, but not exceptional.

One thing that's worth mentioning is the design of the home button. In Android, the home button typically doubles as a search bar or gesture area. However, in this case, the manufacturer has used the space above the home button for a store icon.

**The Verdict**

In conclusion, this Android tablet is a solid choice for anyone looking for a simple, no-frills experience. While it may not have all the bells and whistles of some other tablets on the market, it's clear that the manufacturer has taken a thoughtful approach to designing their device.

That being said, if you're looking for a more premium Android experience with all the latest features and apps, this tablet may not be the best choice. However, for those who value simplicity and want a hassle-free experience, this tablet is definitely worth considering.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enI'm boxing the chewy vi8 Android and Windows dual boot version here this is Chris from tick tablets this tablet just arrived and recently I've already done a review on the windows only version when that first came out and that lacked an HDMI output and it didn't have the dual boot at all sure we've now updated the tablet so it now includes dual boot it does have an HDMI port which I wish the first version had an included it's one my review I had to take off a few points there on my review because it didn't have an HDMI output I think all tablets should have that so now it's got it and let's just have a look at what's inside the box here there's also just a few specs here they have so it's the V oh yeah you can see they've got a little logo here saying your Windows to Android and this is the Edom's e 37:35 if can turbo up to a 1.83 2 gigabytes of RAM we have a emmc 32 gigabyte Drive hopefully that is another high ynx Drive that performed quite well on the first model that I tested and the tablet is exactly the same no real changes apart from that HDMI port and then software changes now having a dual boot so you can see now on the top we have here an mini micro sorry HDMI output which is good to see the rear we have that 2 megapixel camera this is you of the 3.5 millimeter headphone jack micro SD card slot the build exactly the same a textured plastic on the back here that is not too bad it is semi resistant to fingerprints and smudges is definitely better than some of the materials I have seen some manufacturers use and we have just that mono speaker down on the bottom here which is an OK speaker it's you know does the job it's nothing wonderful and we're just powered on now up the front we have a 0.3 yes 0 and he points three megapixel camera that is absolutely horrible it is really not good at all so putting it on we get presented here with the menu one we want to choose Android Windows make your choice and are going into Android here because I will try and focus more on the Android version now since I had the dual boot Talbot might if you want to see more on the Windows version gaming benchmarks check out my other videos on the chewy VI 8 there is a link in the description to a playlist with other videos on the Windows version that first came out so a nice big boot up logo there and let's just get into Android ok so it looks like quite a vanilla setup yes it is very much a vanilla Android which is good to see I like that I don't like it when the manufacturers especially from China put on their own heavy bloated launcher seems to be more of a kind of definitely just a vanilla Android experience here so we have Gmail on there we have gallery what if that has any images they've already put a little movie on there for us ok MX players install ok some little click here in Chinese obviously it's just some pop band so just check out the volume okay there's enough music all right so this speaker there you can hear that is very triply yeah yeah it's not I run the full speaker just like the first version that I looked at okay so what else do we have here on Android so they've included basic apps here we have just a few blog things here's there's some sort of Chinese this thing here what looks like some maps WeChat or voice over IP application there some sort of store so there's only really what's that - for maybe four or five applications there that will probably need to be removed hopefully we can remove some of these that's good to see I can uninstall that one at least oh definitely good for them to include that so if you can't uninstall all this blood stuff and I can install that one we'll need root access for that I will post up some other videos with benchmarks log into Play Store hopefully Play Store is working now there's a few tablets that are China that when they put Play Store on there because in China Play Store is actually banned it's blocked they can't test it so they need to test it outside of China and a few land like T class lately have been shipping these tablets out with the Play Store not working because of the build props had a few configuration issues so want a low probably so I will test it out in another video I will load on Geekbench 3 do a quick benchmark of that in Android and to 25.6 I think that's the latest version or 5.7 whatever is that now we'll test that and see the performance as well as 3d mark and GPU pinch so do subscribe and you'll see up-and-coming videos very shortly on benchmarks on the unit and what else is there really to look at whether you've got up here shop that is obviously the Android store and just see now if there were not Balan ok the window isn't Balan does it double as a home button in Android here so that is good to see and the Android version just before in the video I wanted to check that out so we have Android 4.4.4 and that is KitKat no lollipop Android 5 yet I don't know where the tree will have an update for that honestly I wouldn't hold my breath on that one but they can you could be waiting forever for that but hopefully that maybe there will be main Android 5 update for that ok so if the urges tensing of Windows side though check out the link in the description I have a playlist of a lot of gaming videos benchmarks windows hands-on off the first model I've got and it's basically the same it's gonna be the same experienced us that it was the windows only version anyway that's the video and thank you for watching please do give me a like if you liked this video and as I mentioned do subscribe I'll have more up-and-coming videos on this tablet mainly in Android and I will have some more up-and-coming videos of future tablets I'm waiting for waiting for the people w4s it's a 8 inch tablet just like this one but it has a 64 gigabyte e MMC and it has a 2 megapixel front facing camera and a 5 megapixel rear camera so they've improved the quality of the cameras and they have increased the storage size on the 8 inch tablets they're doubling that as the W 4 super version that's what the S stands for and I'm also waiting on the cube I 7 the cube by 7 is going to be the first court in tablet but I will review from China it's about a 5 white tin quarry a minute and that CPU should hopefully be pretty good and promising because it has a generation 8 Intel graphics in it and that is the Intel HD 5300 anyway that's a wrap for this video thank you for watching and hopefully see you in my next YouTube video bye for nowI'm boxing the chewy vi8 Android
