Last week, the folks from Lazada sent over a new ICS tablet they’ve been selling in their online store for months. It’s the affordable, entry-level Haipad A13 which is manufactured in Shenzhen.
We did not really expect much from the Haipad but for the price tag, it’s got a good fighting chance when compared to the likes of the Kingcom Joypad, the CDR-King tablets and the many other China-branded ones in the market.
The Haipad A13 has the bare essentials — decent and slim form factor, capable processor, enough internal storage and support for expansion as well as a mature and capable operating system.
Haipad A13 specs:
7″ TFT display @ 800×480 pixel
BoxChip A13 / Cortex-A8 1~1.5GHz
8GB internal memory
up to 32GB SD/TF support
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
3G module supports USB external
Has the OTG functions
I have yet to try that function which allows you to hook up a 3G USB dongle to the Haipad for mobile internet (it needs a microUSB adaptor for that). It also has USB-on-the-Go feature for attaching external storage.
The body of the tablet is slim but feels plasticky, with a semi-glossy finish. It doesn’t have that picture-frame look which many other entry-level tablets tend to look.
While the tablet runs on ICS, we notice a little bit of lag once in a while. Nothing too annoying but not really that smooth. COuld be a viable media player, ebook reader or simply just for the usual web surfing.
The Haipad A13 sells for Php4,289 over at Lazada (see listing here).
What we’re gonna do is just give away this review unit to readers of YugaTech. Just check out the Rafflecopter widget below to enter in the raffle.
I love Lazada because transactions and payments are always trusted and secured:)
For the price, the Haipad is a sweet deal!

Isa lang cgurado dyan sir wikbert, nsa DCLA sa uyanguren…. I thought i saw one….. but i suggest go for a tab with a better specs….. sa mga di gaano techie, haipad will do…..
The Haipad A13 that I purchased died on me yesterday with only five days of use with the following symptoms.
1. Inaccurate battery indicator – “Frequent shutdown”
2. Stuck on boot – “Can’t load android environment, stuck on logo”
The device hasn’t been affected by any of the external forces such as shock, overcharged, dropped or spilled by a liquid. Also I haven’t done any modifications on the hardware nor the software.
Also, the contents of the package that was shipped to me last 9/24/12 was incomplete.
1. Missing earphones
2. Faulty charger
Beware! Don’t buy from lazada again!
