The Cube I Work 12 and the Chuwi H12: A Comparative Review

When it comes to 12-inch tablets, there are many options available on the market. Two popular choices that have been gaining attention lately are the Cube I Work 12 and the Chuwi H12. Both devices share some similarities, but they also have some key differences. In this article, we will delve into the details of each device and compare them to determine which one is the better option.

Both devices are powered by the same chipset, the Atom X50K-3000. They are both dual-boot capable and run Android 5.1 out of the box. Both devices also have 64GB of EMMC storage and 4GB of RAM. While these specs may seem basic compared to other tablets on the market, they should provide enough power for general use.

When it comes to benchmarks, both devices perform similarly. They have similar storage speeds and scores in 3DMark Geekbench and other benchmarking tests. However, when it comes to performance, some users may notice a slight difference between the two devices. According to our testing, the Cube I Work 12 feels slightly faster than the Chuwi H12.

One of the main reasons for this difference is the screen resolution. The Cube I Work 12 has a screen resolution of 1920x1200, while the Chuwi H12 has a screen resolution of 2160x1440. While both screens are high-resolution, the Cube's screen is easier to handle due to its lower pixel density. This makes it ideal for general use and everyday tasks.

In terms of build quality, the Cube I Work 12 takes the lead. The device has a more premium feel to it, with a better-designed keyboard and a kickstand that allows for comfortable typing and viewing angles. The Chuwi H12's keyboard is also decent, but it feels slightly cheaper and less well-built.

The trackpads on both devices are equipped with Windows gestures, which can be a nice feature for productivity users. However, one drawback to these features is that they cannot be disabled, which can be annoying if you're not using them. Another issue with the Chuwi H12's keyboard is that it has some screws that fall out easily, which can make it look cheap and poorly built.

In terms of battery life, both devices have similar performance. In Android mode, the Chuwi H12 can last around 7 hours, while the Cube I Work 12 lasts for around 5 hours. However, in Windows mode, the Chuwi H12's battery life is significantly longer, lasting around 8-10 hours. The Cube I Work 12's battery life is still respectable, but it lags behind the Chuwi H12.

One of the main reasons for this difference in battery life is the screen resolution and brightness of each device. The Chuwi H12 has a brighter and more colorful display, which can consume more power and reduce battery life. However, if you're using your tablet primarily for watching videos or browsing the web, the Chuwi H12's screen should be sufficient.

When it comes to overall performance and features, both devices have their strengths and weaknesses. The Cube I Work 12 has a better-designed keyboard and build quality, while the Chuwi H12 has a brighter and more colorful display. Ultimately, the choice between these two devices will depend on your individual needs and preferences.

In our testing, we found that the screen wins out as the most important feature of both devices. The Chuwi H12's display is truly exceptional, with vibrant colors, good contrast, and a wide viewing angle. While the Cube I Work 12's screen is also high-quality, it falls slightly short in terms of brightness and color accuracy.

In conclusion, while both devices have their strengths and weaknesses, we believe that the Chuwi H12 is the better overall device. Its brighter and more colorful display makes it an ideal choice for watching videos or browsing the web, and its longer battery life ensures that you can use your tablet all day long without worrying about running out of power. However, if you're looking for a device with a better-designed keyboard and build quality, the Cube I Work 12 is still worth considering.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enso the cube I work 12 and the chewy H I 12 both of them are 12 inch tablets but they're quite different in various ways so which one has been a lot of people mean asking me can I do a quick comparison so this is what this video is going to be so both of them are powered by the same chipset they have an atom x50 thousand 300 they're both dual boots and they are both running android 5.1 and they both have 64 gigabyte EMM C's and 4 gigabytes of RAM now benchmarks I'm not going to go into benchmarks they are very similar they have very similar storage speeds 3dmark Geekbench and two two scores very similar but which one feels more fluid and more smooth straight out I would say that the cube the cube feels just a little bit faster and it's probably down to the fact that the screen resolution is a lot easier for the generation 8 9 sorry Intel graphics there on the cherry trail to be able to handle 1920 by 1200 is definitely easier than the likes of the 2160 by 1440p surface pro 3 screen that's a Samsung screen that is in the chewy now that screen is more demanding for the operating system and it is actually a superior screen to the I work 12 definitely a superior screen hands-down the screen wins now when it comes to build quality the cube will win with a build quality it's definitely better it's got a better feel to it and it has a kickstand and it has a much better keyboard now this keyboard I will show you the keyboards if I don't knock the camera over show you the keyboards a little closer in detail so this has a what I would call a more premium keyboard to it it is a type cover style and very nice now both of the track pads on these do support Windows gestures that unfortunately you cannot disable so very annoying if you keep minimizing and doing the pinch-to-zoom there's no way to disable that and only what I end up doing is just disabling the trackpads and use a mouse if I can now the dock transformer style dock 1 on the keyboard on the the choooo choooo is very cheap feeling it's a lot lighter it doesn't have the quality feel that we get on the type cover style of the I work attend this one when I did the unboxing of this keyboard actually head screws falling out of it so that is it kind of gives you an idea the build quality but it does have USB 2 ports left and right on it which are handy and this part is metal but the rest of it is all this Finzi kind of plastic and this is where some of the problem arises from this these screws the assembly line they I went over the top that obviously had the wrong torque settings and a lot of these these actually strip the threads and the keyboard so I've got screws coming out of it all the time and a little cheat the good news is should we actually going to have a new keyboard I guess they've got so many complaints about the the poor cheap feeling of this keyboard they're going to release a metal one so that's an improvement there now battery life on both of these in Android the chewy h:o 12 definitely ones on battery life you can get about seven hours out of it I found that the cube I work 12 I only managed to get about five and in Windows when you're running Windows 10 the edge still comes with the chewy because you get approximately about eight hours I can squeeze out of it sometimes even a bit more and you look at about six and a half six on the I work twelve so which one would I pick me personally for me this the screen wins being this is quite a premium display that chewy managed to get their hands on this display used to be as well still is in the surface pro 3 and it is definitely a very nice displayed it has good colors good blacks good contrast good viewing angles have been a pls panel and the brightness of it is also superior to that of the cube and the battery life so most important things I feel personally in a tablet at the screen and battery life and secondly on how fluid it is okay the cube definitely is a little more fluid but I find that I can put with having it just a slightly a little bit more sluggy on the a12 and definitely that is the one i will go for thank you for watching this video I hope to
