72% Chuwi Hi9 Android tablet hands on: Good battery life while out and about
Source: Zdnet.com English Archive.org version
For a purse-sized tablet at under $200, the Chuwi Hi9 certainly fits the bill. Battery life is good, and performance is not too bad. It is a shame the camera could be improved. Camera enthusiasts might want to wait to see the Hi9 Air camera offering before making a final choice.

70% Chuwi Hi9 Android Tablet Review
Source: Slashgear English Archive.org version
There are very few Android tablets today that there isn’t really much to choose from. And the ones that are available seem to congregate towards two extremes, the expensive premium slates and the cheap, low-power plastic slabs. The Chuwi Hi9 happily sits somewhere in the middle. Its $190 price tag clearly shouts “budget tablet” but while it’s not going to win any performance race, it will be able to accompany you through the day, in both work and play.

Imagination PowerVR GX6250: 2 cluster graphics chip integrated in ARM SoC (e.g. used in the MediaTek MT8173)

Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

MT8173: ARM based quad-core SoC (2x Cortex-A72, 2x Cortex-A53) for tablets» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


8.40":

Large smartphones and a few small tablets are available for this display size. Unlike most smartphones, you can see more on the screen, more details and use larger resolutions. Such formats are better for people with defective vision. However, such devices are no longer easy to fit in a pocket, and they are probably not quite light either.

» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.


67.75%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
