Alldocube iPlay 60 Mini Turbo - Android's iPad mini for 2024

[@teohontech7141]

Update 10 Nov 2024: Latest software update fixed KZbin app freezes Update 27 Oct 2024: Main camera has many scratches because the "glass" is likely plastic instead. Update 24 Oct 2024: I'm expericing the screen freeze with KZbin app that many have talked about. Looks like I have to use KZbin from the web browser instead.

[@lamik77]

What is the number of the latest update? I have just received a tablet which out of the box is with version V1.5.0.7_241025_20241025-1131. I am unable to perform the Google Play system update. I download, install, reboot, again a message about an available update (same one)....

It does unfortunately.even when watching KZbin,I keep getting the "KZbin is not responding" pop up.and some when I try adjusting the volume,the animation for the volume adjustment lags.i hope they can sort out these bugs with a proper software update or else I'm returning it.

[@ajwalker4416]

With no pen support, it can't be an iPad Mini. I wish one company would release an affordable 8-inch tablet with pen support. Samsung has one, the Tab Active 5, but they market that to the business worker, and charge a premium for it.

Do you think the new iPad mini that is rumoured to get the (yet another) new Apple Pencil will be something you might review in the future for notetaking and artists sketching on-the-go? Also from what you've seen so far, does the new pencil actually add anything worth upgrading for?

[@teohontech7141]

It's unlikely for the new iPad mini to get the new Apple Pencil 3. As for the pen features, if you are not sure, chances are you won't need those features. I personally don't use any of the new features from the new pen.

[@christianr.5868]

I’d say it’s pretty likely since that’s how Apple operates. They want you to upgrade

[@Jerry_quesoso]

Another Apple Pencil? Bet it's going to be an "update" to the one without pressure sensitivity, but seems pretty unlikely.

Important factors to mention; loading heavy websites such as online market, loading lot of webpage, viewing outside. Any problem/lag using latest apps. Responsiveness when switching/opening apps.

Did I hear you right... that the USB C port can transmit VIDEO ? Plus... Other reviews said the TURBO also has CELLULAR 4G connectivity... Can you confirm it with them if the final production units have Cellular capabilities?

[@teohontech7141]

There is video output. I’ve tested. Definitely no cellular because the tray does not take nano SIM, unless you are talking about micro SIM cellular cards

[@pickyaudiophile]

Thanks for the review! Did you check LDAC audio codec support via Bluetooth? The direct predecessor "iPlay 60 Mini Pro" did feature LDAC fortunately, while previous (50 series) models not. But I'm uncertain since this a different (Snapdragon) platform. - SBC codec only would be an absolute dealbreaker to me.

[@teohontech7141]

Does not support LDAC

[@pickyaudiophile]

​@@teohontech7141 Thanks! But truely sad to hear about! I always wonder if they actually care about small details like that when developing and releasing new products. - Or if that's a matter of contingency, more or less.

[@BBoysAndTrickers]

Do you think there will be updates to support wifi 6? I keep hearing that the firmware is less stable than the 60 mini pro.

[@teohontech7141]

Seems stable enough to me. I am still using this. KZbin app has started to freeze and won’t work with touch, but a recent firmware fixed that.

[@VelanVelan-g9b]

They don't get as much love as they used to anymore and now that everything is getting faster, they don't even get any better. Maybe a new brand of Mini is needed from them, even if slightly higher pricing with the above mentioned specs. I don't know why companies are trying to be an Apple and give me TVs to bring around.

[@teohontech7141]

[@joelconolly5574]

@@SoulK37 I'm writing this on a A9: go with the a mini 60 turbo, the responsiveness might be better.

What the OP is probably referring to is whether or not the device has a physical rotation vector sensor (most modern games are using that instead of reading directly from the gyro HW), or is it being implemented as a virtual sensor via Sensor Fusion in the android framework ( a algorithm based sensor that uses Accel, mag, and gyro to infer what the rotation vector would have been. Look up Sensor fusion in the android developer docs if you want to know more ). The product page on their website makes a effort to point out the "advance gyro capabilities" of the device for gaming, so to the OP's question, yes. This probably does have dedicated hardware for gyro centric gaming. You can not expect every user to be technical. Let's maybe educate and try to be helpful instead of berating them.....
