SmartQ Ten3 T15 - First Chinese dual core tablet finally ! :)

[sumit28june]

The first dual core Android tablet from China...hmm..
So, I have previously owned Novo7Advanced and Ainol Aurora more recently - both Allwinner A10 ARM single core A8 CPU + Mali 400 GPU.
Now comes this device, which is in a totally different class of its own with TI OMAP 4430 CPU (which is used in Kindle fire, Nook tablet, BlackBerry PlayBook, Fujitsu Arrows Tab, Motorola Xyboard PandaBoard etc.) and PowerVR SGX540 GPU.

I've seen some reviews here & there already on how smooth the device operates. There's a video demonstration too on youtube by Pandawill which shows that it indeed works quite smooth.

Check this detailed review on a famous chinese site for the same purpose. (use google translate ofcourse ) - http://mp4.zol.com.cn/277/2778027.html


I tried to find best deal for the same and was able to find Pandawill & Hotmid; but latter one offers shipping options which will lead to pay up extra custom charges too.
I've bought twice from Pandawill before - both my tablets and both were shipped with Singapore Post & reached here within 10 working days; so probably that will be a better option for me atleast who doesn't wanna pay $340 for the device in the end when I can buy it for $290.
Ofcourse there might be some discount codes found online too if you google it up.

Here's the product on Pandawill: SmartQ Ten3 T15 Android 4.0.1 Tablet PC 9.7 Inch IPS Screen TI OMAP 4430 Cortex A9 Dual Core Debut!

I will also make a video review once I get the tablet as no other reviews are available online, unless you go to Youku (chinese youtube).

Anyways, let me know if anyone finds more information regarding this tablet, performance reviews, any bugs/problems in the tablet etc.

edit: Another great detailed review and helpful in knowing more about the tablet. Ofcourse use google translator.
