ALLDOCUBE iPlay 50 Mini Pro NFE
Today we have a new mini tablet to share with you, the Alldocube iPlay50 mini Pro NFE. It is an Android tablet that would be a new option, it has a pocketable 8.4-inch display, a powerful G99 processor, a 5000mAh battery built in, and dual SIM card support.
If we only get these, it is already a perfect choice for some entertainment, E-book reading, and some light gaming with the 179-dollar price tag. But the true and greatest upgrade of the compact NFE variant is its entertainment prowess, which lies in its Widevine L1 certification. So on the mini tablet, you can enjoy high-quality content streaming on Netflix and other leading platforms.
So by far, it seems to be an undeniable deal. Now let’s get into more details.
Packaging
First of all, If you purchase this tablet, you will be getting the tablet itself, an 18W charging brick, and a power cable. Simple as it is, but it meets your daily needs pretty well.
Design
Now with all the packaging stuff out of the way, let’s see the overall design.
As you can see, this is a pretty small tablet, the 8.4-inch internal display is designed the same way as the iPad mini, but a bit slimmer, so if not for heavy-loading applications, you should be able to get a similar visual experience, but 1/3 of the price!
On top of the display, there is a 5MP front-facing camera and a 130MP rear camera at the back. The power button and volume rocker are on the right side, while on the left side, you have the SIM card tray, where you can put 2 SIM cards or 1 SIM+1 SD card for storage expansion, this is pretty awesome! It’s incredible to see dual 4G network support on such a budget tablet.
Now at the top and bottom, you have the Type-C port and the speaker, and the headphone jack is at the corner. To be honest, I am not quite a fan of their locations, because when I hold the tablet horizontally, either the charging port or the speaker will be blocked. Thankfully, the battery is big, so it does not need to be charged often, and you can have the headphone jack at the top in this case, so there shouldn’t be any problem using this tablet.
Now the back side of this device is connected by a large piece of metal and two plastic kits top and bottom, it’s a good design, it looks and feels premium, and you will like it.
Screen
As for the screen, Other than the size being 8.4 inches, it has 227 PPI, FHD+ resolution, a laminated display panel, and decent specs for daily use. On such a compact size, the clarity is quite good, and it is also sharp. You can comfortably browse through all kinds of content, such as reading books, comics, or watching videos. During these few-day use, the FHD+ resolution plus an 8.4-inch display is a great combo for a light entertaining device. As an affordable model, it doesn’t overdo the display with a high resolution and high refresh rate, which, however, makes its battery easy to last long.
And since the display is much closer to a 16:9 ratio, so there isn’t much gap when watching video content, and it feels even better when reading files also. When you are out and about, sitting in a cafe, watching some videos, this could be the best leisure activity at weekends.
We appreciate these products that do amazing things at an affordable price point. With the just-right screen size, dual-Sim 4G Network, and Widevine L1 certification, the iPlay tablet does the job of providing uninterrupted streaming anywhere and anytime. And it’s not limited to Netflix, it even extends the great compatibility to other streaming platforms like YouTube.
Performance
In terms of Performance, it is powered by Helio G99, an old friend of ours, the capability is so familiar, that we were wondering why this chip is so popular, so we contacted the CEO of MediaTek, and here is the answer from him.
Just kidding, we wouldn’t be able to do that.
So actually, this chip got almost the same score as others, no surprise in that. It can run all the tasks smoothly, the loading is smooth, no hiccups. In some light-load games, it is still a good performer.
We have also tested it in multi-tasking situations, when running a bunch of Apps in the background, the operation is still responsive. In Genshin Impact, when setting the graphics in a middle level, you can still get a good gaming experience. Since this is a much more handful device, your thumbs will be able to cover most of the area where the game needs to be operated, while still see more than it is on a phone.
Other Features
This device is running the original Android 13, with no extra apps installed, no stupid background app killing, just a clean Android experience.
Still, the battery is a Pro level, compared to the non-pro and the ultra versions in the lineup, this one sits in the sweetest spot, this tablet can get you through 1-2days of use without any problem for sure, and the 18W charger can help juice it up pretty quickly.
One thing to mention here is that, there is a case with the keyboard you can buy, so if you need to do some light work, you can still do that, and the cameras can provide good conferencing support.
Verdict
So in the end, I would say this tablet is packed with really good value for small tablet lovers, it scores in every part of the budget tablet category. With a really hand-friendly size, good display, powerful chipset, and expandable storage capability, this tablet can go with you for years. So we also add it to our list of ‘GOOD STUFF DOESN’T COST MUCH’. Hope you will also have fun on this tablet.
