Seems a bit expensive. Hope you can review the 8 inch Qube android tablet with phone/3g capability, advertised P 6,990. It is the only other hd 8 inch android availabe locally. Thanks!

”We’re not particularly sure which SoC the tablet is using but our best guess is that it’s an Exynos 4412 Prime or a Rockchip 3188”

As per GOOGLE, it’s the downclocked version of the RK3188,unfortunately, this SoC lags like hell, kahit yung regular 1.8 ghz nila, may unexplained occasional stutters tsaka delay.

magandang lang tingnan sa benchmarks dahil umaabot sa 19k-20k AnTuTu, pero pag real-world use, lagpak na, mas maganda pa Mediatek 6592

I would advice potential buyers to avoid this!
