Alldocube iPlay 20 Tablet Review: Android 10 for $100 USD

Surprisingly smooth except when gaming. If you want a super-cheap Android tablet that both performs and feels great, then it'd be hard finding something better than the Alldocube iPlay 20. There are, however, a few important caveats to keep in mind.
Chinese Tech Android Tablet Touchscreen

The Alldocube iPlay 20 is one of the least expensive 10.1-inch tablets you can find shipping with Android 10 at the time of writing. Its features read more like a tablet worth hundreds of dollars more including the 1920 x 1200 display, 16:10 aspect ratio, narrow borders, 4G LTE compatibility, MicroSD reader, 4 GB of RAM, and octa-core ARM-A55 SoC. The devil is the details, however, as our review here will demonstrate.

Competitors to the iPlay 20 are other 10.x-inch tablets like the Huawei MatePad 10.4, Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite, or Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 2019. Note that these alternatives are at least two to three times the asking price of the Alldocube. More details on the tablet can be found on its official product page here.

Communication

WLAN transfer rates are slow especially in regards to transmit rates even when connected to our Netgear RAX200 test router. Thankfully, this doesn't impact 1080p streaming or browsing. 4G is compatible with T-Mobile after inserting our nano-SIM card.

Accessories and Warranty

The retail box includes a Quick Start guide, SIM key needle, European AC adapter, and a USB-A to USB-C cable. The standard one-year limited warranty applies, but claiming warranty will likely be arduous due to overseas shipping and the long timelines involved.

Display

The 16:10 1200p touchscreen is one of the best aspects of the Alldocube tablet. Images and texts are crisp, the display is relatively bright, contrast is respectable, and response times are decent.

Colors are surprisingly accurate for such a cheap tablet with cyan being the most inaccurate out of all tested colors. Grayscale is slightly on the cool side, but color temperature can be adjusted with a slider.

Display Response Times

ℹ
Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
   ↔    Response Time Black to White
28 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 18 ms rise
↘ 10 ms fall
The screen shows relatively slow response rates in our tests and may be too slow for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 67 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (21.5 ms).
   ↔    Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
29.6 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 14.8 ms rise
↘ 14.8 ms fall
The screen shows relatively slow response rates in our tests and may be too slow for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 33 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (33.7 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ
To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 17924 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

Performance

Processor

Raw performance is very slow with benchmark scores that are consistently below many alternatives. Both GeekBench and 3DMark, for example, are lower than both the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite and budget Galaxy Tab A 10.1. 3D games like Genshin Impact barely run even with all graphics settings on minimum. Fortunately, web browsing is much smoother and 1080p video playback exhibits no issues.

Storage Devices

The 64 GB of internal storage is roomy considering the cheap tablet price and the expandable MicroSD slot makes it even better. Read speeds are slow, however, at less than half of many other 10.1-inch tablets including the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite or even the 2019 Amazon Fire HD 10.

Speakers

The integrated stereo speakers are louder than expected at 95 dB(A) when standing 15 cm away. Quality is lacking, of course, but at least volume won't be an issue.

Energy Management

Power Consumption

Power consumption is inconsistent. Idling on the Home screen at minimum brightness with wireless disabled would draw 7.4 W from the outlet even if the tablet is at 100 percent charge. Turning the tablet off or putting it on Standby mode would not result in any changes. Other tablets would draw just a fraction of this when under similar conditions.

When running the CPU Stress Test app, we're able to record a maximum consumption of 11.9 W from the small 10 W AC adapter.

Jumping from minimum brightness to maximum brightness will demand about 2.8 W more power

Battery Life

Users can expect just over 8 hours of constant browsing before automatic shutdown to be shorter than most other 10.1-inch tablets in the market. Charging with the included adapter is particularly slow; it take overs 3.5 hours to get from 0 percent to 93 percent charge.

In review: Alldocube iPlay 20. Test unit provided by Alldocube

The Alldocube iPlay 20 is better than expected for its price. You're just not going to find another tablet for $100 with the same bright 16:10 1200p display, 4G LTE connectivity, Android 10 out-of-the-box, and MicroSD support all in one.

There are two major drawbacks to the Alldocube tablet since corners had to be cut to meet the target price point. Processor performance in particular is atrociously slow and so applications won't launch as quickly as most people are accustomed to. Multi-tasking isn't instantaneous and most 3D games are sluggish and choppy. The odd power consumption behavior, very slow charging rate, and average battery life could have been better without needing to up the cost of the device.
