Verdict – a tablet not just for gamers
The Alldocube iPlay 70 mini Ultra proves that strong performance and long runtimes don't have to be reserved for flagship tablets. While it can't quite rival true high-end contenders, the Snapdragon SoC packs enough muscle to handle most games with ease. The LTPS panel impresses with its brightness, contrast and flicker-free operation, leaving only its weak calibration to dull an otherwise sharp display experience.
The tablet not only offers generous and fast internal storage, but also supports expansion via microSD card. Data transfer is equally quick thanks to USB 3.2.
On the downside, the device becomes noticeably warm under sustained load. It also lacks fingerprint recognition, facial recognition and GNSS support. The speakers, despite DTS branding, fail to deliver fully convincing sound. Nevertheless, considering its price, the iPlay 70 mini Ultra proves to be a very solid tablet overall.

Despite its somewhat long-winded name, the Alldocube iPlay 70 mini Ultra is a compact tablet with an 8.8-inch display. Performance is handled by the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3, supported by a generous memory configuration. Originally listed at 400 euros (around $435 USD), the tablet is now widely available for roughly 300 euros (around $325 USD).
Specifications – Alldocube iPlay 70 mini Ultra
Case and features – tablet with aluminium unibody
The iPlay 70 mini Ultra is available exclusively in dark grey and features a slim unibody design weighing just 335 grams. Its 83% screen-to-body ratio is appealing, and both build quality and materials leave a solid impression. Due to the LTPS technology used, however, applying strong pressure to the display can cause a visible ripple effect.
In addition to 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage, the Alldocube tablet also supports expansion via microSD card. A USB 3.2 (Gen. 1) port provides fast data transfer and allows wired video output. An ERM vibration motor is included, which feels powerful but somewhat spongy. Biometric authentication methods are not available.

Software and sustainability – iPlay 70 mini Ultra ships with Android 14
The Alldocube iPlay 70 mini Ultra comes with Google Android 14, overlaid with the manufacturer’s Alldocube OS 3.0L interface. The company provides no information regarding software update support, although the energy label indicates five years. Whether this includes major Android upgrades appears unlikely. At the time of testing, the security patches were dated June 5, 2025, which is reasonably up to date.
Alldocube does not provide any details regarding sustainability, nor does it offer spare parts or repair guides. The packaging, however, largely avoids the use of plastics.
Cameras – not a core strength of the Alldocube tablet
The front camera of the iPlay 70 mini Ultra is suited only for basic video calls and delivers neither high detail nor strong low-light performance. It can record video in Full HD at 30 FPS.
The same applies to the main rear-facing camera. While adequate for documentation purposes in good lighting conditions, it is not capable of producing attractive photos. In low light, image noise becomes pronounced. On the positive side, video recording is supported at up to Ultra HD 30 FPS.
The camera app itself offers only limited settings, and some menu translations are poorly executed.
Display – iPlay 70 mini Ultra with flicker-free LTPS
The Alldocube tablet is equipped with an 8.8-inch LTPS panel that delivers a sharp and vibrant image. While brightness is not exceptionally high, it is more than sufficient indoors and remains usable in shaded outdoor areas. Black levels are slightly elevated, but the tablet still achieves a crisp contrast ratio. Minimum brightness, on the other hand, could be lower.
Accurate colour reproduction is not the device's strength. Even in the “Natural” profile the image appears cool, with colours rendered in an overly saturated manner. In everyday use, however, this is usually not a major drawback.
