I've just recently received my Onda v116w from China, it's another dual boot Windows and Android tablet from them, that has the following specs:
Key features:
I'm still waiting on word from sellers when the keyboard dock will be available, so far it seems Onda having released it or there are supply issues.
So far, my first impressions are:
It's a 21:9 screen I think, it more widescreen than I'm use to seeing, so I don't think it's 16:9 good ratio for movies, not the greatest for the web. It's wider than my Surface Pro 3 even, but not as high of course. Nice 2.0 port is a nice addition. The IPS panel on my unit is very bright and with good view angles and colors. It is brighter than most Chinese tabelts I have tested in this price range. It looks similar to a Surface 2 and even more like a Dell Venue 11 Pro.
Windows it ships with is Windows 8.1 Pro, Yes, it's windows pro and not bing. I'm surprised at this move. Thumbs up to Onda for not using the cheap Bing version. There seems to be no dual boot selector on boot or when holding volume up (Unlike the Onda v919) Like other
Onda Android rom's its quite light compared to others, only 3-4 bloat apps. DPI setting could be improved, text in Android looks blurry. And yes, Play Store is working, but you have to reboot after first signing in and then to accept T&C it will then work.
The build quality is plasticy a soft matte plastic on the rear and it's a finger print and smudge nightmare. Like other Onda units it comes with a screen protector already on it the screen. The internal components and build is not bad at all, but there are a few creaks here and there when handling it.
I have managed to hit 74 degrees on the unit according to HWinfo, this a bit warmer than some other Z3637F tablets. Could be down to some Windows maintenance that was running, I will investigate this further.
You can charge it via micro usb (Slower) OR via the DC plug.
