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.

Alldocube is a well-known affordable computer manufacturer from China. The company released its latest affordable tablet product, the iPlay 20, which was met with a warm reception on the global market for its good entertainment functions and attractive price. The Gizmochina Review team got the iPlay 20 4G Tablet several days ago. So let’s find out what exactly it can do with such remarkable pricing.

Alldocube iPlay 20 4G Tablet Review: Design & display

As an affordable tablet, we won’t complain too much about its appearance. However, the iPlay 20 still looks pretty good for its price. Compared to the 2019 iPlay tablet, it comes with a narrower bezel design with a metal back cover. It also results in a better feel with sturdy workmanship. As a 10.1-inch tablet, it’s relatively lightweight and thin too.

On the front, the Alldocube iPlay 20 adopts a symmetrical design, And the front camera is in the middle of the upper frame for selfies and video chats. The tablet is equipped with a 10.1-inch FHD IPS screen. The screen material used is the same as the Samsung Tab A priced at almost twice the iPlay 20’s price. It supports a 1080P+ (1920 x 1200) resolution with AI algorithms to enhance color reproduction and detail.

In terms of user experience, the display wasn’t a fingerprint magnet and comes with oleophobic coating on top. Like most high-end smartphones, the iPlay 20 tablet display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass, offering good surface stress-resistance and scratch-resistance.

On the left side, there is a SIMcard Slot for loading dual-4G SIM-cards. It can work in 4G networks and supports VoLTE voice chats. Meanwhile, like using smartphones, the 4G networks also guarantee a high-speed wireless internet anytime and anywhere for reading, playing games, streaming, or any other online activities. Besides 4G networks, Wi-Fi access also works well for internet connection if you are not going to load any SIM-card.

The power button and volume buttons are placed on the upper right sidebar, which is not exactly a comfortable design as it’s located too far up especially when the display is so huge. Coming to the back to its 5MP rear camera, it protrudes a bit but its not wobbly at all when you place it on the table.

Alldocube iPlay 20 4G Tablet Review: Entertainment

The major use of the iPlay 20 is entertainment. As we mentioned above, the high-quality IPS 1080P+ display could provide vivid colors and good detail when enjoying movies or games. Accompanied by great visual enjoyment, the tablet is also equipped with dual-speakers to provide high-quality sound. Although they do not cover both sides of the frame to produce perfect stereo sounds, the dual speakers are still far better for an entertainment tablet comparing to most single-speaker tablets. Or if you’re more in fond of audio that comes out from your headphone, the tablet reserves a 3.5mm headphone jack on the top.

Android 10

Another highlight of the tablet that we appreciated is the Android 10 OS. It’s not common to see Android 10 running on such an affordable device. Compared to the previous Android version, Android 10 features improved user interface, higher security and privacy, dark theme, text recognition, and many other functions.

Alldocube iPlay 20 4G Tablet Review: Performance

The device we got is the 4GB RAM + 64GB ROM version. And it supports TF card extension (up to 512GB). For performance, the tablet sports an Octa-core processor with 8 ARM Cortex-A55 (8xA55 Spreadtrum SC9863A). This processor is not exactly designed for gameplay. We still played a few casual gaming to test whether its performance supports basic gaming. For example, in Alto’s Odyssey, Minecraft and Plants vs Zombies 2, the operation and image are smooth enough without fluency problems. And then we tried to play PUBG Mobile on the tablet, and it worked fine. Although the huge display provided a great view of the gaming image, it only supported a relatively low graphic and low framerate settings. So this is not a tablet for gaming.

1 of 4

Apart from gaming, the iPlay 20 can smoothly run most other entertainment apps, such as reading, watching movies, and playing music. The 10.1-inch display ensured a good experience while reading and watching movies.

Tablet devices usually are not good options for photos. So we won’t stress much on the iPlay 20’s camera performance. After all, you don’t buy cheap tablets for its rear camera.

Alldocube iPlay 20 4G Tablet Review: Battery

The Built-in 6000mAh battery generally could support around one-day use with a full charge. More specifically, 30-min gaming consumed 18% of full power (100%-82%), and 1-hour video play consumed around 31% (82%-51%). During these few days, the battery life was remarkable as we did not saw any ‘battery low’ warning. And the iPlay 20 also features a smart power-save mode, which can help it last for a longer time without affecting daily uses.

Alldocube iPlay 20 4G Tablet Review: Conclusion

The Alldocube iPlay 20 is not exactly a high-performance device for gaming, and sometimes the limited fluency of running multi-tasks affected our experience. However, for an affordable entertainment device, it has its own merits like a large battery, a huge display, and excellent media performance. And if you are considering a tablet basically for binge-watching, kid’s entertainment, online classes, and so on, the iPlay 20 is an appropriate choice.
