Chuwi HiPad Tablet Review

HiValue. The Chuwi HiPad retails for around $200 USD with compelling specifications such as its 1200p touchscreen, deca-core Helio X27 SoC, 3 GB RAM, and Android 8.0 software. Actual performance, however, is still reflective of the super-budget category.

The HiPad is an inexpensive Android tablet from Chinese manufacturer Chuwi. Unlike the innumerable amount of alternatives available, the HiPad is distinguished by its newer MediaTek Helio X27 SoC and 16:10 display instead of the common 16:9. These advantages should make the HiPad a better fit for word processing or photo viewing where the squarer aspect ratio can come in handy.

The 10.1-inch tablet competes against other budget alternatives retailing for under $200 USD including the Lenovo Tab 4, Asus ZenPad 10, Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1, and the Amazon Fire HD 10. A higher-end version of the HiPad is also available as the Hi9 Plus.

Case

Budget Android tablets like the HiPad are getting better and better each year in terms of looks and first impressions. The glass front, slightly rounded aluminum back, and chrome-cut edges and corners feel good in the hand with no hint of visual defects on our test unit. The red trims on the back are becoming a signature Chuwi aesthetic as they can also be found on the Chuwi GBox mini PC. Attempting to twist the tablet with two hands results in just slight flexing and creaking that shouldn't be of any concern during day-to-day use. In short, the HiPad feels more rigid than its low price would otherwise suggest.

Communication and GPS

No integrated GPS!
No integrated GPS!

We experienced no issues with the integrated 802.11ac wireless. Interestingly, AliExpress advertises GPS for this product while the official Chuwi spec sheet omits the acronym "GPS" altogether. Either way, there appears to be no GPS functionality on our test unit.

Cameras

The rear 5 MP camera takes muddy pictures with muted colors even when outdoors with ample lighting. It exhibits all the properties of a very cheap smartphone camera including overexposure, purple fringing, and lack of an optical image stabilizer.

Accessories and Warranty

Included extras are a warranty card, MicroSD tray needle, Quick Start guide, AC adapter, and USB Type-C cable. Manufacturer limited warranty lasts for once year after date of purchase. Because Chuwi is overseas, however, the buyer would likely be responsible for any shipping costs. Please see our Guarantees, Return policies and Warranties article for country-specific information.

Input Devices

Keyboard

The 10-point capacitive touchscreen thankfully includes haptic feedback. Accuracy, however, does not appear to be always perfect. Typing at medium speed results in more frequently missed letters and inputs than usual. Responsiveness is good enough for light games and inputting short URLs, but extended messaging is best done elsewhere.

Display

The 1080p touchscreen is a mixture of pros and cons. Text is sharp, the backlight is fairly bright, contrast is good, and colors are reasonably accurate considering the affordable price of the HiPad. On the other hand, backlight uniformity is noticeably uneven as there is bleeding along the left edge of the screen. Response times are also measurably slower than competing tablets like the Galaxy Tab A 10.5 or Huawei MediaPad M5 lite for more ghosting when gaming or scrolling through web pages.

A very slight layer of graininess is noticeable on the display surface. It's difficult to see without a flagship alternative nearby such as an Apple iPad 6, but picture quality is crisper on the Apple even before accounting for its resolution advantage. 

Outdoor visibility is average for a tablet as competitors often have brighter panels.

Display Response Times

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
41.2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 25.2 ms rise
↘ 16 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 97 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (21.6 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
33.2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 16.4 ms rise
↘ 16.8 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 39 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is similar to the average of all tested devices (33.9 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

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 18110 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

Performance

The HiPad uses the same Helio X27 SoC as on the Hi9 Plus for similar benchmark results between them. Users can expect both 20 to 25 percent slower multi-thread CPU performance and 50 percent slower GPU performance than on the Snapdragon 835. The mid-range Huawei HiSilicon Kirin 960 is also able to outperform our Helio X27 SoC in both CPU and GPU power. The slow graphics performance on the HiPad becomes evident when playing demanding games on the Google Play Store.

Subjectively, system performance is clunky and it suffers from skipped frames very often. Apps do not launch immediately upon touch and we often found ourselves tapping icons twice since we are unsure if the first tap had even registered.

Storage Devices

The internal 32 GB eMMC performs a bit more slowly than the 64 GB eMMC as found on the Chuwi Hi9 Plus according to AndroBench. In particular, its sequential write rate is nearly half as fast at just 74 MB/s. Transfer rates from the MicroSD card reader are much better and comparable to the Galaxy Tab S4. Chuwi says the tablet can support MicroSD cards of up to 128 GB in capacity.

Games

Gaming performance is a mixed bag. When playing Asphalt 9, for example, we can notice texture pop-in, major aliasing on cars, and overall muddy textures. Perhaps the worst offender is its unstable frame rate for a less than optimal gaming experience. Less demanding titles like Shadow Fight 3 run more smoothly.

CPU stress

Surface temperatures are warmest towards the USB port as the motherboard is likely positioned in this quadrant. When under very high loads, we are able to record a hot spot of almost 37 C whereas the right half of the tablet can be as cool as 23 C.

The processor is unable to maintain maximum clock rates indefinitely as shown by our performance over time graph to the right. Clock rates appear to cycle over time.

Speakers

The integrated speaker lacks depth and bass and maximum volume could have been louder. Our pink noise graph below shows peaks at certain frequencies whereas a more balanced audio system would have a flatter and broader line to represent treble and bass more evenly. Slight chassis reverberation can be felt near the bottom of the tablet when at the maximum volume setting.

Power Consumption

The HiPad is not as power efficient as its competitors. Idling on the Home screen demands anywhere between 2.7 W to 5.6 W depending on the brightness setting compared to 1.2 W to 4 W on the similarly sized Lenovo Tab 4 10 Plus. Playing video draws 7 W and maximum CPU load demands 12 W compared to almost half that on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 or Huawei MediaPad M5 lite.

Be aware that the included 10 W (5 V/2 A) AC charger is European in origin and so it is not compatible with U.S. outlets without an adapter.

Maximum brightness initiated at 20s mark. The backlight demands approximately 3 W more than the minimum brightness setting

Battery Life

Runtimes from the 7000 mAh battery are average. Users can expect just over 10 hours of real-world WLAN use to be comparable to the Lenovo Tab 4 10 Plus. The relatively large battery makes up for the poorer power efficiency of the SoC.

Recharge time is slow at approximately 3 hours from empty to full capacity with the included 10 W AC adapter.

In review: Chuwi HiPad Tablet. Test model provided by Chuwi

We don't expect very much at the $200 range. Smooth performance, a strong chassis, and a nice screen are perhaps our top three demands for a "perfect" inexpensive tablet. In Chuwi's case, the HiPad hits a home run in two out of those three characteristics.

The metal chassis is perhaps the highlight of the HiPad. Its thin form factor and gamer-like black and red aesthetic give an impression of a pricier tablet. The glass IPS touchscreen is also above average in regard to color accuracy and contrast ratio.

Performance is where the HiPad falters. Simple actions like scrolling through pages or launching applications have a latency to them not found on mainstream to flagship tablets or smartphones. This is where the "budget" in budget category begins to show. Other auxiliary features like the poor camera, poor speakers, and slow charging are easier to live with at this price point, but smoother performance would have made the general user experience more seamless. Fortunately, the tablet is still excellent for FHD video playback and the occasional light browsing that its target audience can appreciate.

The display is better than we had anticipated in terms of color accuracy and contrast for this low of a price point. The low frame rate and sluggish performance bring down an otherwise attractive budget Android tablet.
