*In connection with exchange rate fluctuations the price may also fluctuate relative to the present value, and very much.

Prices are quoted in terms of prices of Chinese Internet sites GearBest.com (forum), because at the moment the company Chuwi preferred distribution channel of products considers sale via the Internet shops.

In the tablet applied processor series Intel Atom Cherry Trail x5-Z8300 with four cores, designed for devices with low consumption (TDP=2W). Nominal frequency is 1.44 GHz; but it adapts to the load and can rise to 1.84 GHz (the Turbo Boost technology from Intel). The processor supports only single-channel memory. RAM installed 4 GB, which is good for Windows and very good for Android.

a simple Camera, two megapixel each. Flash and autofocus none. The tablet has a light, but it only shows the battery charging status (blinking – charging, continuous light – charging is finished). Of the sensors in the tablet includes an orientation sensor that is used to automatically rotate the image; and a light sensor that supports automatic screen brightness adjustment. No NAV. Also, there is no built-in modem mobile communication; but you can connect an external modem via the USB port or work via Wi-Fi.

the Real mass of the device was 560 g; it’s pretty small size for tablets with 10-inch screen.

Packaging and contents

the complete set of the device is conventionally split into two parts – the “mandatory” (the one that is in the box with the tablet) and “elective” (optional and sold separately).

let’s Start with “mandatory”. The packaging unit is made in traditional for the company Chuwi simple but durable style:

the Box is very durable, and for extra protection of the display on the back side of the top cover is glued a layer of porous protective plastic.

the name of the tablet and its main characteristics is contained on the label located on the left side of the box:

On the back of the box very useful information there except a contact information of the manufacturer:

In the open box looks like (protective bag with tablet unchecked):

This picture already allows to draw conclusions about the technical features of the tablet. For eye-catching against the dark background frames the bright spot display, we can say that the display is made by classical two-layer technology with an air gap between screen and touch surface. Technology OGS (One Glass Solution) is not applied. Because of this twofold increase in the number of reflective layers, and the display is much brighter than the frame (if it is black).

On the tablet screen affixed protective film transport, under which there is another – this time “fighting” protective film. Therefore I recommend just to be careful not to tear the tape transport with the “fighting”.

to the Left of the tablet in the box is a small cardboard box with accessories, of which there quite a bit – charger and USB cable Type-C to USB 2.0. First, look at the charger:

Charger – not the model. It is characterized by high output current – 3 A voltage standard, 5 B.

Now look at the cable, such cables are also not yet very widespread:

And this cable is the presence of a symmetric connector USB Type-C:

These connectors are very convenient: no need to look in the correct orientation you put it in. But the low prevalence is yet to be the limiting factor. Although he was considered a future main USB for mobile devices (but not now).

the Cable in the photograph, can be used to connect the tablet with the charger and for connection with a computer, but with the last goal of the operating system only Remix (Android). To connect external devices to the tablet mode, Windows will need to either purchase an additional adaptor cable USB-OTG (micro USB port), or USB hub for USB Type-C. Nothing can be done: yet progressive port USB Type-C will not have gained the breadth of distribution, and without such “tricks” will not do.
